Prince Rupert Halibut fishing season has started off with a bang. The season opened on March 1st this year. I have had a number of Halibut charters and each one produced limits and great size. Early season halibut fishing can be the most productive of the year. The charter fleet has not quite started their season but I am in the water with the Orca Mist. I like to be the first out and the last in every season. Deep Spring Charters offers great early season rates.

My company specializes in catching large and aggressive Salmon and Halibut. These are not our only targets though. I love seeking out Ling cod, Snapper and Rock fish where they live. These fish are not safe when I am on the water. It is not uncommon to have all my fish coolers filled to the top by the end of the day. I call this food gathering.
