I’ve been fishing the waters around Northwest Bay and Nanoose for years and know how good it can be when everything lines up. My goal is simple — make sure you have a great day on the water and the best possible chance at landing fish.
I’m certified in Small Vessel Operator Proficiency (SVOP), Small Domestic Vessel Basic Safety (SDV-BS), Radio Operator Certificate – Marine (ROC-M), and First Aid.
