Our Story
Born from a passion for the ocean and a commitment to first responders, Thin Blue Lines Fishing Charters is more than just a fishing trip, it’s an experience of connection, respect, and relaxation…
Our Beginnings
Founded in 2025 in Port Edward, BC, our charter was born from a love of the ocean and a deep respect for those who dedicate their lives to serving others. We operate in one of the richest marine environments on the West Coast, where every trip is an opportunity to connect with nature, embrace adventure, and appreciate the beauty of these waters.

Honouring Indigenous Lands
With great respect, we acknowledge that we fish in the traditional and unceded territory of the Tsimshian Peoples, who have cared for these lands and waters for thousands of years. Their deep connection to this region inspires us to share its natural beauty and rich history with visitors from all walks of life.
A Legacy of Service
Founded by a retired law enforcement officer, Thin Blue Lines was built on a foundation of service, camaraderie, and giving back. Our name reflects both the deep blue waters we navigate and the "thin blue line" that symbolizes law enforcement, first responders, and military personnel. With every charter, we aim to create a space where guests can unwind, reconnect, and experience the thrill of the Pacific Northwest.
At Thin Blue Lines, we believe that a day on the water can be transformative. Whether you’re chasing trophy salmon, soaking in the peaceful surroundings, or simply enjoying the company of fellow anglers, we want every trip to be an experience that stays with you.
Our mission
At Thin Blue Lines Fishing Charters, we offer more than just a day on the water, we create meaningful experiences for anglers of all skill levels. Whether you’re new to fishing or a seasoned pro, our goal is to make every trip enjoyable, peaceful, and memorable.
A portion of each charter goes toward supporting mental health and PTSD initiatives for first responders and veterans, a cause close to our hearts.
Join us in the stunning Pacific Northwest, where fishing becomes a way to unwind, reconnect, and give back.
