Halibut Fishing BC

These West Coast Vancouver island Tofino/Ucluelet Halibut are migratory as well as resident to Tofino & the off shore banks.

“Daily halibut catch limits over the last couple of years have been an unbelievable 100%. Weather permitting.”
- Jeff Hale
The Captain

The majority of our halibut fishing is done on the Tofino offshore banks where bait fish school up and large numbers of “chicken halibut” feed from March through to October. The majority are perfect eaters in the 20-50 lb range.

There are opportunities for larger Trophy Halibut 80lb to 200 lbs, If you want to go for the Trophy Halibut off shore we suggest considering the 2 day or 3 day packages. Read our rates & packages.

Fishing techniques for these Tofino Halibut are both trolling close or on the bottom with salmon fishing gear or drift fishing with stiffer rods, jigging artificial or real bait on a spreader bar. Often while Halibut & Salmon fishing we will catch Cod fish, Octopus, and bottom dwelling rock fish that all work very well for Halibut bait as well. The oils from these fresh baits leaches out into the water and currents and will draw in the Halibut from great distances. West Coast Vancouver Island Halibut are also found in and around the protected waters off Tofino Clayoquot Sound and it is not uncommon to catch halibut while fishing for salmon closer to shore. So even day trips salmon fishing have a good chance of a West Coast Vancouver Island Halibut.
