About us
Born and raised on Haida Gwaii we grew up on these fishing grounds, literally...
DAAWXUSDA in the traditional Xaayda Kil (Haida language) means "West Coast", and it's where you'll be spending your day(s) fishing the best Salmon and Halibut fishing in the world. A unique place on earth, the West Coast of Haida Gwaii is full of surprises. From bear and deer on the shores heading out, to seals, sea lions and whales on the water be sure to have the cameras ready.

Fishing grounds
Gwaaygiids Kaahlii or Cartwright Sound is located a scenic 45 minutes from the Daajing Giids harbour. On the way you'll pass through the "Skidegate Narrows" where depending on the tide you'll see bears, deer, otters, and other wildlife. Once through the "narrows" we get into Cartwright Sound where we'll fish the areas we grew up on, a few to be named are:
Skidegate Point
Buck point

Guide

Owner/Operator
Michael Gladstone was born and raised on Haida Gwaii. Spending his younger years outside fishing and hunting with his older cousin, grandfather, and whoever he could get to take him, he has a lifetime of local knowledge both on the water and on the land.
Being a family man with a wife, daughter, son and dog who enjoy the outdoors as much as him you can catch them on the boat or beach most days on Haida Gwaii.
"Giving people the same smiles and lifetime memories as me and my little family, is what ultimately made me want to guide and what makes it so fulfilling at the start and end of everyday".
