Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Wayne and Captain Chris consistently deliver outstanding salmon and crab fishing results, with customers regularly landing multiple salmon and filling crab pots. Their expertise with downriggers, local knowledge of salmon stocks, and ability to adjust techniques based on conditions keeps anglers hooked up throughout the day. The Van Herring is perfectly equipped for the fishing, and their professional boat handling skills shine even when conditions get rough on the return trip. Customers love how Wayne makes fishing accessible and educational for everyone aboard. He's exceptionally patient with young anglers, letting kids reel in fish, net catches, and pull up crab traps while answering endless questions with genuine enthusiasm. Wayne even teaches fish filleting techniques and shares insights about the local area. Many families return for repeat trips, and experienced anglers appreciate learning new techniques from his extensive local knowledge.

Trip - Vancouver Island Salmon on the Move on May 27, 2026

Had a great morning with Wayne. My son and 2 grandsons had wonderful time. The 5 beautiful crab we added to our catch was the perfect ending. We'll be back soon.

Fantastic day. Hooked 11, landed 10, kept 5, and will have lots of salmon to share with friends and family back home. Wayne and Victoria were great guides, knowledgeable, friendly, informative, and super helpful. We had so much fun. I’m gonna bring our kids back for a family outing.
