I've carefully outlined all the details and expectations for your adventure in the Comox Valley with Island Pursuit Sport Fishing. Feel free to explore our website and reach out with any questions. I’ll respond promptly and look forward to hosting you on the water!"
The Comox Valley is known for its abundance of local Chinook Salmon, which spend their entire lives migrating through the Salish Sea. This offers a fantastic fishing experience year-round. Comox provides excellent fishing opportunities close to shore in protected waters. During peak season, guests catch Salmon, Lingcod, Pacific Cod, and Rockfish. October to May, we also harvest Prawns and Crab.

Our peak summer season runs from May to September, providing the opportunity to target all Pacific salmon species, including Chinook and Coho Salmon, as well as Lingcod, Pacific Cod, and Snapper. With consistent fishing during these months, we fish protected waters just 10-30 minutes from our moorage, minimizing travel time and maximizing fishing time.
Operating year-round, we also offer winter salmon fishing for Chinook, along with excellent Prawn and Crabbing opportunities from October to May.
A full day fishing experience is recommended when booking a fishing charter. This experience provides full range of our fishing area and the best chance to fish a tide change or 2. During this time you’ll have the opportunity to target Salmon, Ling, Pacific and Rock Cods. During October - May this experience includes trapping for Prawn and Crabs.
Based on 6 hours, flat rate charters could range from 5-7 hours. We offer this option for fishing September to June. This experience provides full range of our fishing area and the best chance to fish a tide change. During October - May this experience includes trapping for Prawn and Crabs.
A 5 hour fishing charter is a great way to spend some time on the water and come home with some fresh wild Salmon. We suggest 5hr half days during July and August. There will be an option for AM or PM departures and are scheduled to be able to operate 2, 5 hour charters per day.
