In Puget Sound, we are blessed with moderate conditions that allow us to fish 12 months a year. Most of that time is spent fishing for salmon and our professional captains have decades of experience that give you the best opportunity to catch these beautiful and tasty fish. Our boats are set up with the latest electronics and tackle to maximize your fishing experience. Our technique of downrigger trolling is far and away the most effective method of catching salmon in the local waters and our captains are more than happy to share that knowledge with you. You’ll learn how we set up the fishing tackle, integrate the use of electronics and how we use the local tides to predict where the salmon are most likely to be on your trip. Regardless if you are an experienced angler or this is your first time ever fishing, our captains will do everything in their power to make sure you have a trip that will leave you with memories that last a lifetime. King salmon are the largest of all salmon species and we have 2 distinct seasons in which to catch these fish: Summer King Salmon fishing runs during the months of July and August as the mature fish return from the Pacific Ocean and head to their rivers of origin to spawn. These king salmon are the largest we encounter during the year and will occasionally exceed 20 pounds. They have a very firm tasty flesh that is second to none on the dinner table. Summer Kings are known for long powerful runs and battles that can test even the most experienced angler. Winter King Salmon fishing typically starts in November and runs through April. These fish, locally known as “blackmouth” or “winter kings” are juvenile king salmon that feed in Puget Sound most of their life. They are well known for their flavor and tendency to be more consistent feeders than their mature cousins in the summer. You are likely to encounter winter kings in the 4-10-pound range though bigger fish are occasionally caught.

These fish, which range in size from 3-12 pounds, are known for their acrobatic fighting style on the surface. Unlike their larger king salmon relatives, these fish are more prone to schooling and it is not uncommon to hook more than one fish at the same time. Like the king salmon, this species has a firm tasty flesh that is great on the dinner table. Pink salmon, chum salmon, and sockeye salmon also run in Seattle’s waters, and at certain times of the year, your fishing charter will focus on these species. Pinks, also known as “Humpy” salmon, only run on odd number years in Puget Sound. They are the most numerous of the salmon species and make for a great fishing charter, especially for groups with children or novice fishermen. The flesh of the Pink salmon is more tender than other species but when properly cared for by your captain, make excellent table fare and great smoked salmon due to their high oil content.
