YOUR CAPTAINS

Vancouver Island fishing charter Captain Dave Summers

Your Captain and chief guide is Dave Summers, 57, who has been fishing north Vancouver Island waters for 40 years. He started as a guide 30 years ago and is now known to his clients and friends as the "fish whisperer" for his ability to find fish, especially halibut and salmon. Dave has all his Transport Canada requirements, and industrial first aid.

Over the years, hundreds upon hundreds of clients and friends have been amazed by Dave's ability to figure out where the fish are biting.

David Summers Jr. appears to have inherited his dad's fish-finding skill. He started early, going on his first fishing trip with his parents at nine days old. He began guiding with his dad when he was only 13.

Now 22, he is an indispensable part of Serengeti Fishing Charters, with his own knack for finding salmon and halibut. He has his own boat and his clients reap the rewards - on a five-day fishing trip last year, his clients landed four fish weighing over 50 pounds plus limits of other big salmon. His passion for fishing and getting his clients on fish is unmatched.

David has his marine first aid, MED A2, and many other safety requirements, including his Limited Masters, a ticket which allows him to captain a vessel up to 60 tons.
