Embarking on a lifelong journey rooted in family tradition, Justin Wilson's love affair with fishing began as soon as he could walk, talk, and grasp a fishing rod. Growing up on both the East and West Coasts of the Island, Commercial Trolling and Recreational Sports-fishing became not just a heritage but a way of life for him. The vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean and the great outdoors became his playground, fostering a deep connection with the water and the close-knit fishing community.

Justin's foray into guiding commenced at the tender age of 14, working for a Lodge on the East Coast of Vancouver Island. Specializing in Motor Mooching live Raked Herring, Jigging, and Trolling Gibbs 50/50 Brass Spoons for Coho and Chinook Salmon, as well as Massive Lingcod, he quickly discovered his passion for sharing the thrill of fishing with others. The realization that he could make a living doing what he loved most—fishing and witnessing the joy and excitement of others—was a turning point that fueled his journey in the sports-fishing industry.

Fast forward nearly three decades, and Justin stands as a seasoned veteran in the Sports-fishing realm, with the last 25 years devoted to owning and operating Tailspin Charters. Nestled in the heart of the nutrient-rich waters around Vancouver Island and the enchanting North Coast of British Columbia, Tailspin Charters offers an unrivaled experience for fishing enthusiasts seeking the thrill of Salmon, Halibut, and Lingcod adventures.

Justin's favorite Gibbs Fishing tackle speaks volumes about his expertise. With an impressive 30-year tenure in the industry, he acknowledges the game-changing impact of Gibbs Fishing tackle, with the G Force and Skinny G spoons standing out as revolutionary in the Salmon fishing domain. For the pursuit of Large Chinook Salmon, the Oki Phantom series flashers in diverse color combinations rank as Justin's top choice. When it comes to Halibut, he swears by the unbeatable success of the Delta Hali Hawgs.
