Based just 5 miles from downtown Seattle, a Wind Knot Salmon Guide Puget Sound fishing charter will make you feel like you’re on another planet. Come and explore the riches of the Puget Sound, where you’ll sail across the bays against stunning backdrops doing battle against one of the Pacific Northwest's most prized fish – Salmon.  During July and August there is a great chance to land a Shark!

Step aboard the premium 25’ Grady White Center Console Fisherman 236 and see for yourself! This vessel can cater to up to 6 anglers and features state of the art Simrad radar, chart plotter and fish finder.  We are proud to maintain the fleets cleanest, modern boats.  If needed, we offer FREE Grunden's rain gear use during Sept-Nov! Family owned and operated charter business.  WE captain the boat, not a seasonal captain. 

Most charter boats on Puget Sound troll.  When targeting Chinook Salmon, we typically do not so keep that in mind when choosing the right charter experience for you.  Using light gear, you’ll “mooch” the waters with fresh or frozen bait while drifting with the motor off. This style of fishing is suited best for anglers who prefer to have a rod in hand rather than watch rods and share turns.  We DO troll with downriggers for Coho Salmon in late August and September.  Based on the tide and weather conditions, our captain will choose the method they feel will be most productive for the group. 

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 5hr shared charter at no additional cost.

Customers without a Washington fishing license can buy a one-day license and catch card from Capt. David on the boat. Licenses are $13.73. If you only need a one-day license this is the best option.  If you buy a license from the state, please remember a printed catch card is required to be in your possession.

Get on board with Wind Knot Salmon Guides for a great time on the Salish Sea!

Morning Trip – Salmon Private AM

Fantastic trip & Worth the Memories!

VERIFIED

Captain Dave is an A+ captain who cares about safety, fishing instruction and tackle familiarity. We (myself, daughter and her boyfriend) chartered the early morning excursion and it was worth the money! We caught various salmon, including 2 wild Salmon that we let go, shark and 2 beautiful fillets for my daughter's freezer! I highly recommend Captain Dave. He is professional, extremely prepared for and charter and maintains a refreshing combination of guiding and letting you learn! Outstanding Day!

Beautiful Day on Puget Sound

VERIFIED

We did a private morning trip for four people. The captain did a great job of working to get us on fish (We caught and released a decent number of Chinooks but never caught any Cohos.). Very nice boat and excellent equipment. The captain explained the fishing methods well and talked about the resource (the fish and Puget Sound in general) so we all learned quite a bit. Very enjoyable trip with great scenery.
