Cut Plug Charters – Seattle Fishing

If you’re looking for some of the best light tackle fishing for Salmon and Lingcod out of Seattle, you’re at the right place. Cut Plug Charters specializes in hands-on, active styles of fishing in Puget Sound. Captains Justin Wong and other team captains have been fishing their whole lives, and even though they love the sport itself, they love sharing their knowledge with the customers and showing them the beauties of these waters even more.
Their boat is a 23’ Grady-White center console that can comfortably carry up to 6 anglers of all ages and skill levels. It comes with a 300 HP Yamaha engine, a live bait tank, an ice box, and an array of professional marine electronics and safety equipment.
Mooching for Salmon is the captains' go-to technique, as the angler is very involved in this style of fishing where you will entice the fish to bite, set the hook, and reel your fish in entirely by yourself! All of the techniques they use are about active fishing and keeping you involved and in the game while on the water with them. Sometimes trolling is the most effective way to chase salmon and the Captain will troll based on fishing patterns.
In addition to Chinook and Coho Salmon, you’ll also get to target Lingcod and Flounder season dependent. Our techniques involve bottom fishing, mooching and trolling primarily.
The captains will supply top-notch G. Loomis rods and Shimano reels, lures, and will even clean and fillet your catch. Live bait is seasonal, and they cannot guarantee it at all times, but if possible, captains will have it prepared before the trip. Fishing licenses can be bought on the boat for $13 per person.
If a shared charter is booked for 2 people and no other guests join you will have the private boat for 4hrs instead of a 6hr shared charter at no additional cost.
On shared charters the captain will choose what they feel will be most productive for the group.
The only thing missing for a perfect day on the water? You!

Captain Justin and his deckhand, Tyler, were great. They were professional, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. Justin kept us on fish the entire time. We nearly limited out on coho, caught and released several king salmon since they weren’t in season, and my daughter had a blast catching dogfish. It was an awesome day on the water, and I would definitely recommend Justin to anyone looking for a fun and successful fishing trip.
Donovan and Xavier were awesome guides! They put us right on the fish, and they were good about moving locations if we hit a dead zone. They were very knowledgeable, and we caught fish! My son and I caught both salmon and shark. We had a good level of action so there was never a dull moment. We do plan to visit Seattle again in the future and will definitely try to go out with these same guides again. Great guys!

Thanks for the detsiled review and choosing us Lucy!
Captain Donovan was a great instructor and made the whole experience fun, comfortable, informative, and relaxed. We landed and kept three lingcod, which being from the East Coast we were catching for the first time, and several rockfish. The boat was immaculate, and the natural beauty of Puget Sound, including brief sightings of whales and porpoises, also added to an excellent day of fishing. Captain Donovan’s impeccable boneless filleting technique was another bonus. All in all, it was a great day on the water, a memorable 10 out of 10 experience!

Thanks for the great review of Capt. Donovan!
My 13 year old son and I had a blast on this trip. It was the one thing he wanted on our trip and it was a huge success! The crew was great with him and helped him be successful! We got lucky on our shared trip to be with great people too! So happy with this experience!

Had an amazing time on this charter, the skipper was great- made us all feel comfortable, set us up with gear and bait and got us on the fish! Would definitely recomend for anyone looking at doing some salmon fishing on the Puget Sound.

Captain Justing Wong and team has had fishing as a part of their lives; growing up we fished with our families. Being on the water, chasing fish, and learning new areas always had them coming back for more. Catching fish was one thing but showing people the Puget Sound and what we have to offer was definitely more fulfilling and rewarding. No matter which one of them takes you on a trip, they are patient, passionate about fishing and love to help people create a memorable experience on the Puget Sound!
