Cole Powar

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.

Ryan Piehl

Best guide out there. Brandon was knowledgeable, effective, and a joy to be around. I will easily recommend Mainlanders to my friends and family, or anyone else who's looking for an amazing experience.

We had the trip of a lifetime with Brandon at Mainlanders SportFishing. He has so much knowledge and expertise and we were able to reel in 4 sturgeon in the first few hours. He’s very personable and makes you comfortable through the whole process even if it’s your first time fishing. He’s involved in the conservation and tagging as well which was really nice to hear about. 10/10 would recommend this company.

Dave Smith

Excellent experience, Would highly suggest mainlanders sportfishing to anyone. Professional and easy to work with, I will definitely use there service again.

Rob Franzon

Four of us went fishing yesterday with Brandon, words can't describe how my experience was. Brandon was the best guide I have ever had. He brought everything, all we needed was our licences. It's always nice to have; a very experienced and knowledgable guide that knows the river and can share great stories about the history of the river and the sturgeon. If you ever make it out, don't waste time looking just book with Mainlanders.

Ethan Videan-Cox

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

Alyx Lukacs

We did a guided salmon fish with Brandon. He was unreal, so helpful and enthusiastic. We learnt SO MUCH from him all while having fun and landing fish. 100% would recommend anyone to go with him! So nice to have someone who loves fishing so whole heartedly. Thanks Brandon!

Jo Rothermal

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!!

Brandon Harris

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!

Trevor Luedtke

My fiancee and I booked two days Sept 5/6th lookin for pink salmon and sturgeon. We had alot of fun with both species and Brandon keeps you excited, anticipating the next bite. We lost count with howmany salmon we caught and released. 7 big beautiful sturgeon! I would recommend Cap'n Brandon to anybody and we will be coming back 100%. Until next time, thanks again buddy!!

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.

Beaut•ology Studio

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.

Most unbelievable experience of a lifetime. Best week of my life

Robert Konrad

If you are looking for a great sturgeon trip on the Fraser River look no further than mainlanders Sportfishing. He will put you on the fish and in the meantime he will entertain you. Great customer service, you won't starve(unless you are busy battling sturgeon all day),this boat has the cooler is full of snacks and drinks.

Steven Francis

This guy is the real deal. Where do i start, Brandon's ability to find fish is unlike anyone else on the water. When he says hes going to get you the fish of your life time hes telling the truth. Not only is he a great fisherman but he also has a wicked personality that will make those nerves go away in seconds. Also coming from a fellow fisherman, i could instantly tell he was passionate at what he does. Brandon really strives and prides him self on getting you not only a fish but a memory that will last a life time. If your debating on what charter to book, look no further as Brandon and Mainlanders Sportfishing runs tight lines and a great business, there is no one else i would give my money to.

Stewart Allen

Great trip, far exceeded my expectations, would highly recommend

Lindsay Sturgeon

I had an amazing trip with Brandon. He is extremely knowledgeable about all species of fish in the Fraser River. He knew exactly where to go to catch the big Sturgeon. We reeled one to shore for a super cool photo! I chose to do this activity alone, which meant that Brandon had to drive the boat and help me reel in hundreds of pounds of Sturgeon without any help. A day I will remember forever, thanks to Brandon at Mainlanders!

Ashley Brown

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!!!!

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

Terry

I have been in touch with Brandon asking him a lot of questions and searching for information about fishing in the Fraser River. He is very knowledgeable and patient. He knows a lot of the history on the river. I look forward to fishing with him.

Corbin Lock

Had an awesome time twice in a row with this guide. Brandon got us on some giant sturgeon. He supplied everything we needed and we just had to show up with our lisences. He answered any question we had and was very knowledgeable.

Maelayna Paris

Definitely recommend mainlanders for a great fishing day! amazing guide tons of fun and a wicked experience.

Paul Rudolf

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!

A. Stuart

Brandon with Mainlanders SportFishing goes above and beyond to provide an amazing experience! My friends and I were basically planning our next fishing trip with him halfway through our trip! Caught some incredible sturgeon! Learned alot and most of all had a ton of fun on the water with friends with incredible views! Highly recommend going with Brandon at Mainlanders SportFishing for any fishing trips, you will not be disappointed!

Bobbie-Ann Weipert

Amazing experience for all ages and abilities. 10/10 + We will definitely be returning to Mainlanders Sport Fishing in the future !♡! Thank you !! Cheers!

Mike Tran

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.

John Waring

Top notch guide , and a great guy to spend the day with. Would definitely recommend Brandon !

Lowell Leifso

Truly a pleasant, exciting and memorable experience with Brandon's professional guidance and instruction! He has a number of favorite fishing spots so you are bound to encounter sturgeon. Truly an experienced guide providing a very pleasant day on the water. Grandkids (and grandparents) loved it, thoroughly excited with their part in the conservation catch and release, and in the tagging and measuring. Gotta come back to catch the big one that I let get away!

Nick Crump

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.

ROB Proulx

This was a life changing trio. Big thanks to Brandon for never giving ing up and for putting us on fish all day. In fact we even saw a 10ft fish on sonar and mayhap even hooked into the monster but we pulled the hook. In the end I landed a 6'7" 177lbs fish and to be honest thats good enough in my books. Recommend for sure. Great guy. Very knowledgeable. Really takes care of you and your kids. I will book again.

Leree Hadley

FANTASTIC day!!! Excellent guide & great service. We will be back for round 2 next year!

Maurice Van Eck

Mainlanders is you’re top of the line fishing guide. Have gone with Brandon multiple times and each time is better then the next. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great experience fishing on the Fraser.

Shawn Hamling

Brandon and his partners made our staff trip amazing, we caught some huge fish and had a blast. Definitely recomend Mainlanders Sport Fishing.

Jeremy Harilstad

Me and a couple buddies took out my dad for father's day and we had such an amazing time. Brandon really knows his stuff and is a pleasure to be around. All 4 of us hooked a fish and we landed 3 of them in a 4 hour slot. Been out with him a couple times and it always a blast. Couldn't recommend a better guide. Tons of laughs and great memories made ????????

Cody helmer

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

Diana Hart

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.

Tony Marasco

Brandon is great. Super knowledgeable and very experienced!

Dave G

Brandon is a very knowledgeable and fun guide I highly recommend booking your fishing adventures with him

Alex Weipert

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

g goward

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!

K N

Brandon was an incredible guide and made our experience one in a lifetime! 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be returning! - K & G

Kevin Ramsaran

Got on a 7 footer in an hour. Mainlanders knows where the lunkers are! Always moving to get that bite. Solo day with Brandon was non stop action!!

Matthew Heron

Brandon was an expert and a professional; he also made the day feel light and exciting at the same time. He accommodated our large, inexperienced bachelor group (13 guys) easily, not to mention landed the groom with a 9’9” monster of a sturgeon. Can’t thank him enough for giving us the experience of a life time. Would highly recommend Mainlanders Sport Fishing.

Tyler Soutar

Top notch guide, couldn't of asked for a better day.!!!! Definitely recommend.

TheTeamster4life

Fun experience, knowledgeable, part of a conservation effort and a great guide. My girl and I had an amazing day out on the water and got lots of big sturgeon on our 8 hour day. Brandon is a great guy and is sure to show you a great time and get you on the fish. We will be hiring him again in fall. Thanks again Brandon, it was a blast!

Calsea Freeman

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.

Declan Burton

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!

Keenan P

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!

Abby Quin

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 ????

Jeremy Lampman

The single best day of fishing in my life. Thanks captain Brandon for for that. When your smallest fish is 6 foot 9 there is no way your not having a great day. See you next year..... there's no way I'm not doing this again with mainlanders..... the best????

Cory Helmer

Personally my go-to guides in the Fraser Valley, there knowledge and experience supersedes the rest! Everytime I’m on a charter with Mainlanders it’s more then just a fishing trip filled with countless bent rods and live action, its an exhilarating thrill that will keep you coming back time and again!! Highly highly recommended!!! Thank you Brandon personally for the many adventures in the past and many more yet to come!

Tom Pearson

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!

Garrett Fordy

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.

Dave

A perfect trip! Brandon was an amazing guide, and he made my 14 year old son feel super about the whole experience. Quite the adventure!

will b

Brandon was amazing we had a great time! Super knowledgeable and great instructor too. He knows all the best spots on the river to go. We caught an 8foot 225+ pound monster sturgeon, which was the first catch of the day. I would strongly recommend him to both beginners and experienced fishermen alike!

Aslam Chand

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.

Roy Huang

This is the best guided fishing experience I ever had in my life! Brandon is professional, knowledgeable, funny, friendly and know how to take care the animal. This sturgeon fishing trip was such a blast!!! Brandon knew all the secret spots and he grew up locally. We caught 7 sturgeons all above 7 foot with total weight over 1600LB in less than 8 hrs!! He is definitely my go-to guy for guided fishing in Fraser Valley! Every single one of us had a such great time! Please be aware of sore arms and back when caught too many sturgeons, LOL! Highly recommended to anyone who wants to have a blast in guided fishing tour in Fraser Valley!!

derek nazimek
