We will be in Victoria next month and the men would like to spend a half day out on a charter fishing boat. We would like any recommendations for companies to look into, as well as which to avoid, lol! We have browsed a list of companies on the tourismvictoria.com site, but would love personal recommendations to help narrow it down. Thanks!

Check out www.nicefish.tv I have been out on a charter with Gary and he is a very knowledgeable guide.

Tanya--Thank you! Can you tell me more about how your trip with him was?

I have only fished with Gary out of Bermuda while he was filming a fishing show. We did try to get out of Victoria Harbour when we were there, but the weather did not cooperate. Gary was very patient with me and explained everything I needed to know in order to successfully land my fish. I am sure you wouldn't be disappointed. I checked out the website for tourism Victoria and NiceFish Marketing is Mr. Cooper's company.

If Gary is unable to charter you, I am sure he will recommend another company to contact.

Thank you, I will give him a call on Monday.
