Looking to catch some fish in Seattle? TwinJCharters is your ticket! Your guide for the day is Captain Jerome, giving you access to years of local experience.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Salmon, Lingcod, Crab, Halibut, Flounder, Shrimp, and plenty more. You can expect to do some trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Capt. Jerome believes in teaching kids to fish while they're young, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available; you should bring your own. Feel free to bring your own snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

You'll step aboard a 25' Defiance pilothouse with room for 6 passengers. It has downriggers and all the essentials that no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it to find out whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day can be provided by the Captain for $13 per person, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation; just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now's the time to experience fishing in Seattle for yourself, with TwinJCharters!

    5 Stars - An Unforgettable Day on Puget Sound with Twin J Charters

    Salmon on October 14, 2026 • 2 adults

    If you’re looking for an incredible fishing experience on Puget Sound, look no further than Captain Jerome and Twin J Charters! From start to finish, Captain Jerome made the trip an absolute blast. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the local waters, knows where to find the fish, and has a great personality that makes you feel like you’re fishing with an old friend rather than a charter captain. We had a fantastic day catching coho salmon and flounder, but the fishing was only part of the adventure! Puget Sound put on quite the wildlife show, with sightings of sea lions, harbor seals, and sea otters. Between reeling in fish, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and watching the wildlife, there was never a dull moment. What really sets Captain Jerome apart is his combination of experience, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm for what he does. He’s not just there to put you on fish—he makes sure you have a great time doing it! Great fishing, incredible wildlife, plenty of laughs, and a captain who knows his stuff. What more could you ask for? I wouldn’t hesitate to book another trip with Captain Jerome. If you’re visiting the Seattle area or just looking for a memorable day on the water, do yourself a favor and book with Twin J Charters. Five stars all the way! Tight lines, Captain Jerome, and thanks for an awesome adventure! 🎣🐟

    Great way to start the week!

    Salmon on October 12, 2026 • 2 adults

    My cousin and I went fishing on a Monday on the recommendation on another family member who was put on fish with captain Jerome a few weeks ago. He did not disappoint! We saw plenty of bait balls on the fish finder and were mooching for coho. Because the weather was sunny and the water calm, we could see the salmon chase our bait to the surface very often. We hooked into about a dozen fish, three were kings that we had to let go, three were coho, and the others got off mid fight since we were using barbless hooks. We could see many boats on the water but we were the most active by a long shot. I would definitely recommend captain Jerome and will be booking with him again.

    Amazing As Always!

    6 Hour Trip – Salmon/Crab on August 22, 2026 • 4 adults

    My friends and I go fishing every year with a boat from this web sight. For the past few years we have gone with Twin J charters and have never once been disappointed with our experience. This year we booked the dual crab/salmon trip and even though it was a wild weather day on the water we had a blast! We reeled in a bunch, tossed a few back and lost a few, but we still walked away with 3 nice size Coho salmon. I even caught a shark, but he was released to see another day, lol. The crab pots were dropped aways from our salmon fishing waters, but the ride to and fro was a blast. What I liked about the crab experience was the interaction with the captain Jerome while learning to pull pots. The first was empty and we all got quiet trying to figure out why. The second had rock crab, but nothing we could keep. I said the 3rd and 4th will be our mother load and we were not disappointed! We boated away with 7 Dungeness crab! The sun finally broke through the clouds on our way back to the dock which made for a lovely time on the water. At the dock Captain Jerome took pictures of us with our catch and then cleaned the fish and bagged everything up. Once again Twin J charters did not disappoint! We have already made plans for next years adventure and I may even get the chance to help bait the pots!!! All in all If you don't mind an amazing day on the water, sea water on the face, wind rustling your hair, sore arms from reeling the big one and a little blood on the pants (possibly) from your catch hitting the deck then Twin J charters is your next amazing adventure.

    Captain Jerome was great! Fishing was slow for everyone on the water, but Jerome managed to find some bites. He also took us to retrieve some crab pots at the end of our trip.
