The outfitter
Deep Sea Charters is a sport fishing company based in Prince Rupert, on British Columbia's North Coast. Founded in 2000 by owner and Captain Glenn Kierce, the outfitter offers private ocean excursions throughout the fishing grounds of the Northwest Coast. The captain, who also serves as a deep-sea trawler captain outside the sport fishing season, leverages his extensive knowledge of the seabed and fish migratory patterns. Trips take place aboard the Ocean Slayer, a Grady White vessel perfectly suited for day fishing in the region. Each charter is private and accommodates a maximum of four passengers to ensure personalized service

and safety. For larger groups, additional boats can be arranged to navigate and fish together. The captain offers 10-hour full-day trips (dock-to-dock) or 5-hour half-day trips. The primary target species are Chinook (King) salmon, Coho salmon, Pacific halibut, and lingcod. All fishing equipment is provided on board, including rods, tackle, bait, rain gear, and life jackets. The captain guts and bags the day's catch and assists in coordinating with local processors for professional fish packaging. In addition to fishing, these excursions provide opportunities to observe coastal wildlife. Depending on the time of year and areas visited, guests may spot bald eagles, seals, sea lions, porpoises, as well as humpback whales or orcas. Beginners and families with children are welcome on board. Passengers must bring their own Tidal Water Sport Fishing License, food, drinks, and a camera.
