Fished with Mike today Sept 8th 2019 on the Tyee Warrior.
It was really foggy but with Mike's professionalism, experience, high tech gear and his commitment to safety there was never any concern.
Everything was great and I had a lot of fun, even caught a couple.
The boat, gear and equipment are new and top notch.
The day was perfect! Mike was awesome!
Next time I find my way out to Victoria Mike will be my second call!
I have only great things to say about Mike Pashniak and Warrior Fishing Charters. Mike is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He seemed to know everything about the surrounding area and wildlife. He took care of everything so that all of us on the boat were safe and having a good time. We caught lots of fish and had lots of fun. Thanks again Mike.
I highly recommend Warrior Fishing Charters to anyone looking to have the best experience possible.
Upon meeting us at the dock the Captain, Mike Pashniak took us to his beautiful, custom made boat, gave us a quick tour and a brief yet very thorough safety walk through and we were off to start our day of fishing. We had a number of strikes almost as soon as lines were in the water and even managed to get a couple of fish to the boat. It was a slower day of fishing but with Mikes knowledge and experience we managed to hookup with multiple fish, including a doubleheader with a 28lb and 20lb Chinook salmon. Mike was very personable and pleasant to be around, the whole experience felt like you were fishing on your friends boat. If my friends are ever looking for a charter I?m definitely sending them to Warrior Fishing Charters. I can?t thank Mike enough for an amazing day and putting me on the fish of a lifetime. You absolutely made returning customers out of us Mike!
I've fished with charters for years and had dozens of different captains. Without a doubt, Mike is the best I've ever fished with. I took my family on his boat, and none of them had fished salmon before. Mike's patient, kind, and professional approach has spoiled us forever. The boat and equipment are fantastic in every way and reflects excellence, but Mike himself makes the whole experience first-class. I would travel back just to fish with Mike, especially to get that big one that got away! Nevertheless, we hooked some nice fish including a big chinook to take home:) Don't hesitate to book with him!
Captain Mike was an awesome teacher for this first-timer. He was thorough on safety and clear about what to do (or not do) to be successful . We were catching salmon on both poles within the first 10 minutes! He knew exactly where to go and had the best equipment for fishing Chinook, Coho and pink salmon. Although I thought yelling 'here fishie fishie!' was working, it may have also had to do with his knowing the ideal depth for each fish and the proper lures. Along the way our Captain also helped us spot dolphins swimming - an added bonus. Also he helped us take some perfect pictures (holding a 20lb fish isn't as easy as it sounds if you've never done it). Not only am I looking forward to fishing again, but I can't wait to come back to Warrior Fishing Charters for another day of great stories to be made. One did get away I swear it was 40lbs
