I have been to a couple of Oak Bay Marine groups properties. The Princess in Ucluelet (Ucluelet is an Indian word meaning Barfing in Big Waves) is a blast. Cheap, catch a lot of fish, Fair accomodations.Drive to Vancouver, fly to Tofino. Ad in the paper starting at $199. This for accomodations on the boat, don't do that, get accomodations on shore.

Way West Resort in Tofino if you want to spend a bit more (like 3 to 5 times as much). Ocean trolling.

A great get away is Sooke in the Juan de Fuca strait. Oak Bay rents 15 - 17 Hourstons out of Pedder Bay Marina. If you like to be your own pilot, a great adventure! Race Rocks, Church Rock, Secratary Island. Great area. Got skunked for three days last year, (that bit) but the year before a buddy and I brought possesion limits home twice.
