Vancouver | Winter Pro Guided Fishing – Axopar 28

Highlights
• Fish with a star-level pro guide – a dedicated winter specialist who knows exactly where and how to find Pacific cod, black cod, salmon and prawns.
• High-performance Axopar 28 – fast, stable and perfectly suited for winter conditions, with a premium layout for just 3 anglers so everyone gets space at the rail.
• Deep winter action – jigging metal lures over productive structure, then hauling prawn traps on the way home.
• Hands-on coaching – your captain walks you through lure selection, reading the sounder, and proper jigging technique for each species.
• Photo of the Day & shared catch – end the trip with a hero shot on the dock and your fish divided to take home.
 
Description
This is Yahull’s signature winter fishing experience for serious anglers who want results, not just a boat ride. From December to February, our featured guide takes you out on an Axopar 28 – a fast, agile and sea-worthy platform designed to get you to the grounds quickly and comfortably, even in winter.
 
With only up to 3 guests on board, this is an ultra-small group, pro-level trip. You’ll target Pacific cod, black cod and salmon, and drop traps for prawns along the way. Your captain will help you choose the right jigs, explain the techniques for each species, and work with you one-on-one throughout the day so everyone has a real shot at quality fish.
