Mainlanders SportFishing

The day was awesome from start to finish, super clean nice boat, Had a wicked bbq on the boat for lunch, highly recommend, unforgettable memories catching tons of fish. Already booked another charter! Brandon was full of knowledge and made the trip very enjoyable. Brandon also went out of the way to show us the biggest eagle migration on the river in North America. It was unreal never seen anything like it.

Brandon is a family friend who I took UNSUCCESSFULLY fishing on the west coast years ago. Through social media I discovered he was guiding on the Fraser and my dad was keen to try sturgeon fishing so it was perfect that we knew somebody in the business. We started in 2019 and have been back every year since. Brandon is a genuine fishing enthusiast who has an incredible knowledge of the river he fishes. It’s never a client/business experience, you set your own hooks, reel in your own fish - just with an expert behind you guiding you along. Our last trip was October 29,2023 and we landed 24 fish - our largest being 7’2” which was an absolute triumph! That far exceeds any expectations but every year that we have come out we have never been disappointed, and had an absolute blast being on his boat. For anyone thinking about going on a sturgeon adventure, this is your guy.

Husband convinced me after his first trip last year to go Sturgeon fishing for our anniversary; best experience! Brandon is super knowledgeable and makes the experience memorable! Everything from coaching you through fishing to an organized boat filled with drinks and food. Have nothing but amazing things to say about Brandon! Would highly recommend Mainlanders!

Great time, great guide, great fishing! Would do it again at any time. Fishing in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

We've booked multiple trips thru our company. It's a great day to connect with clients in a super unique way. Brandon takes care of everything lunch, coffee doughnuts everything. So happy and we'll book more for years to come.

Amazing!
Brandon is so professional with everything he does! An amazing guy with a great business. I can’t wait to be back out fishing with him again. The whole day was a bucket list day checked off. If anyone is interested in catching a one in a lifetime fish this is the place to go! He looked after us so well from the fishing to feeding us an amazing lunch on the water. A true credit to Mainlanders sport fishing. We cannot thank you enough.

The best fishing experience I have ever had…my family And I decided to go near the end of October…30 minutes in double header, with a 6foot 10 inch sturgeon! We caught 11 sturgeon in 7hrs of fishing and 1 coho salmon at the end! Definitely worth every penny!

It was a tough day of fishing and Brandon pulled all the truck out of his hat and when no one else was catching anything we caught a 8 foot beauty! He’s super knowledgeable and teaches you what he knows as you go! We will be coming back to have some more fun and we highly recommend Brandon and mainland sport fishing!

Brandon is amazing! He made our first Sturgeon trip perfect! I wouldn’t recommend going anywhere else! We’ll be back in search of the elusive 10 footer!

Brandon is an absolutely fantastic fishing guide. He’s so informative, kind, and knowledgeable! He not only cares about the fishing aspect, but also respecting the animals and fighting for their conservation. It was extremely cool to see that the White Sturgeon my partner caught was already tagged! I would highly recommend Brandon for anyone looking to go White Sturgeon fishing along the Fraser River, and I can almost guarantee that he would be a fantastic salmon fishing guide as well (though we didn’t do that). We are so happy with our experience!

This was a trip of a life time! Brandon is very professional and knowledgeable and never left us with a question he couldn’t answer. His reaction to the fish we caught was contagiously exciting and the BBQ lunch he cooked for us was amazing. We had the privilege to catch some monsters of fish on the river and never once did we feel incapable of reeling them in. Brandon guided us every step of the way. We spent our first day of our honeymoon on the water with Brandon and it was the best start to our trip. We will for sure recommend booking a trip with Mainlanders Fishing. Truly is an experience of a lifetime. Thanks Brandon!

Brandon was fantastic from start to finish. He answered all communication promptly and once we got on the boat we had to take care of nothing (except the bragging). He talked us through the catches and was very knowledgeable about great fishing spots. When no one else was catching anything on the water, we were! Also…. Homemade ‘s!

I highly recommend Brandon at Mainlanders Sport Fishing - Sturgeon Fishing Charters! Flew from Calgary to enjoy this trip! Everything about the fishing trip was top notch! From booking the trip online to the bbq lunch. My family and I had the best time catching + learning about sturgeon today. We will be talking about this trip + sharing photos to all our friends and family. We are definitely feeling our sore arms from all those big sturgeons we caught! Cannot wait to book another trip with Brandon again.

First time out landed a 7ft sturgeon! Once in a lifetime experience.

I will be recommending Brandon to everyone I know, fantastic guy, amazing guide, super knowledgeable and I definitely couldn’t have landed that fish without his help!

An absolutely amazing time! Brandon was very friendly and welcoming. Couldn’t be more impressed with the entire experience. Would recommend to anyone, even if not a super experienced fisher like myself

Top quality guide! Was my first time fishing sturgeon, had a blast. Already booked again for the fall. Saw some beautiful spots on the fraser and learned about the local area.

Brandon took us on an incredible fishing excursion. I feel like we got the FULL experience. We caught little guys that hadn't been tagged before all the way up to the 8'2" slug that took us for quite the ride! And every size inbetween. We booked two days at six hours each as well as the bbq lunch. I think the time allotted and having two days is the only way to go. First day you get a feel for the boat, rods, fish, etc.and then day two it's go time! We were beyond ecstatic with our adventure, it will be talked about for years to come! Thanks Brandon! We look forward to comimg back soon.

Awesome time! Drove all the way from Prince George for a day on the river with Brandon. Very knowledgable and experienced. Not to mention we Caught some big sturgeon! Will definitely book again.

Amazing experience! Though our arms will be sore for a few days we’ll have smiles across our faces for days longer.
The fish were biting all the time, they were STUNNING, as were the views. Our captain was friendly, accommodating, experienced and knowledgeable, and made our special family trip that much better.
Can’t wait to go again, absolutely recommend to anyone that has the opportunity

Brandon is a phenomenal guide. As a beginner to Sturgeon fishing, he took his time ensuring everyone in our party was set up for the day.
I would highly recommend Mainlanders to anyone looking for a perfect day on the water.

Was very knowledgeable, pleasant and very accommodating. Brandon was an enjoy to be around and thanks for helping me check a mark on my bucket list. Hope to be back again

Full of knowledge and love for fishing, Brandon brings comfort and excitement to the table everytime. Building memories that last forever! Amazing experience for all ages and abilities. 10/10 + We will definitely be returning to Mainlanders Sport Fishing in the future! Thank you! Cheers!

Hammered the fish all day! Super positive, knowledgeable and passionate about fishing. Couldn't ask for a better guide! (your gonna want the lunch package!) Thanks Brandon!

Had a great time with my friends. Brandon is extremely knowledgeable and made my first time fishing an enjoyable experience.

We used mainlanders for our client appreciation days. They treated our clients well and made sure they had a great time. One group even caught 19 sturgeon! We will be using them again in the future. Thanks for the great time.

4 of us spent 2 days Salmon and Sturgeon fishing with this great company. The 2 guides we had, Brandon and Nick were awesome and the fishing was phenomenal. More than outdid our expectations with 6 sturgeon caught and released with most of them over 7 ft as well as 13 salmon over the 2 days. We highly recommend Mainlanders Sport Fishing.

Best trip I ever had and I have fished my hole life very professional would only hire Brandon thanks again awesome time

Amazing day fishing with Brandon, awesome guide and a great person. Fishing was fabulous, hooked into some beautiful fish and learnt what 'the burn' really means. A Back bear swimming the river was a nice surprise We'll definitely be back with Mainlanders for many more expeditions.

Our guide Brandon was exceptional, had such a good day on the river. Super knowledgeable and friendly. 10 out of 10 day. Would highly recommend.

10/10 experience with undoubtedly the best guide out there! Brandon is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and entertaining. We had a great morning catching big salmon in the stunning scenery of the Harrison river - we had 15 fish as a group in the space of 2 hours - all whilst being surrounded by hundreds of majestic bald eagles.
Then it was down to the Fraser where within 10 minutes we hit our first 8 foot monster sturgeon, followed in quick succession by two 7 footers, a 6 footer and another 8ft! We barely had time to enjoy the gourmet BBQ!
Brandon just knew where the fish would be, what they'd be eating and how to catch them. Couldn't have asked for a better experience - will definitely be back!

What an experience! I'm an avid fisherman but I've never been out for Sturgeon and I'm instantly hooked (insert pun here). Brandon was amazing. Clearly knows what he's doing and is such a great guy to be around. So many laughs and I can't think of one complaint about our time out there. Hooked 4 fish In a 4 hour slot. Highly recommend

Purchased a 4 hour package for my husbands 50th birthday. The guys had an amazing time catching an almost 8ft surgeon near the end of the trip. This is a birthday my husband and his friends will talking about for years to come! Worth every penny!

This was my first time booking a Sturgeon fishing trip. I must say that this was one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences! Brandon is an experienced guide; he knows the water, spots and uses proven methods. He also uses the latest technology. Most importantly, he is extremely passionate about fishing.it is great when you have a guide who loves catching as much as you do. I also appreciate that he is involved in the conservation end. It adds to his dedication and health of the species. As well as the care of the handling of the fish. On a personal note, I took my two kids with me, 9 and 6. Brandon has a great demeanor and patience to work with anyone. He made the trip fun, and it was also a bonus to have my kids and myself involved in the conservation end. We had the rare opportunity to tag two Sturgeon. I can’t wait to book again!

We cannot rave enough about our experience with Brandon and this company! We brought our 3 children along and couldn't be any more happier with this amazing memory! He was so encouraging and knowledgable and immediately we felt comfortable, safe and fully trusting! And this trip did NOT disappoint! WOW! This is a MUST for everybody to experience in their lifetime and we will most definitely be doing it again! Thank you so much again!

Brandon knows so much about fishing and the Fraser River. He makes you feel comfortable being on his boat and has a great sense of humour. You will have an amazing time guaranteed lots of laughs and big fish. I highly recommend him.

Had a great day fishing for dinosaurs with @brandon_woottonproguide.

Highly recommend booking with him if you’re able! Very passionate about the conservation, science and fishing for these guys. No sitting on our hands if the bite wasn’t on we moved.

Gutted to lose 2 other bigger fish but that’s fishing!

Bucket list fish achieved and it hadn’t been tagged which is just a bonus for me.

Cheers for the day!

Professional, engaging and down right exhilarating charter. My brothers and I brought our dad out for his birthday and had an unforgettable experience. The Captain was awsome, incredibly knowledgable and a true purveyor of good times. We'll be sharing stories from this adventure for the rest of our lives. Thanks again Mainlanders, will be back soon!
