Since the salmon and halibut fishing season is over, we at Salmon Eye Charters are looking for other ways to get our fishing fix.

In order to do this, we've been putting together some fishing videos of our clients this past summer. Take a look! We've had a lot of fun with these, and we hope you'll enjoy them, too.

The videos were taken out of Ucluelet, BC, Canada. In the salmon fishing video, we trolled for salmon with flashers and coyote spoons, and in the halibut fishing video we bottom bounced.
