Book your next trip with Predator Charters and find out what makes the fishing in Gabriola so unique. With Captain David at the helm, you'll have one of the most knowledgeable and experienced guides in the lower portion of the Strait of Georgia.

Local species include Salmon (all species depending on the time of year), Lingcod, Rockfish, and our local spot prawns and shrimp.
You can mainly expect to do trolling, but light tackle jigging can be another option at times.

Your vessel for the day is a 25' Mako walkaround with space for 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and all the tackle, gas and bait is included.

Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask.

Your trip with Predator Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?
