Book your next trip with Fish Finders Private Charters and fish with legendary Captain Carl Nyman. Yeah, look it up! Over 30 years and haven't rubbed anyone the wrong way yet! Just catching fish and informing clients about the great Pacific Northwest, Puget Sound history and environmental facts and qualities.

We mostly fish for Salmon. Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon and Pink Salmon. Lingcod and Flounder are targeted when Salmon is closed or slow,  but most folks want to go Salmon fishing.

Trolling with downriggers is our primary technique for targeting Salmon as it's highly effective in presenting lures trolling horizontally at targeted depths from 20 to 180 feet.

We cater to groups and individuals on private charters and shared charters both business and private parties. You can even bring the whole family along! Child-sized life vests are available, or you may bring your own. You're welcome to bring snacks or other beverages. We provide coffee, bottled water and usually have some breakfast bars or snacks of some kind for those that don't have time to grab anything.

You'll be dropping lines from a 28' Uniflite sportfishing vessel with space for 6 passengers. It has downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Carl will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures and everything you need to fish. And don't worry about the fishing licenses as we have the 1 day pass available on board the boat.

It's wise to bring sunglasses, sunscreen and an extra layer as it's colder on the water. Our water temp is around 55 degrees F.

Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

The click of a button is the only thing keeping you from a great day on the water with Fish Finders Private Charter

Amazing day on the water
6 Hour Trip (AM) on August 27, 2025
We've been fishing with Captain Carl for almost 20 years at least once a year. He is extremly knowledgeable and just plain fun to be around. We've never had a complaint and couldn't imagine using anyone else. The last few years we have been limiting out early with plenty of amazing stories to tell.

Great Day with Captain Carl
6 Hour Trip – Shared (6AM) on September 9, 2025
Captain Carl is a great guy, and guide. Just hanging out with him in the boat and sharing stories is enough to make the day well spent. On top of that though, and as always, he got us on the fish! Perfect trip and looking forward to the next one!

6 Hour Trip – Shared (6AM) on September 4, 2025
If you want to catch salmon Capt. Carl with Fish Finders is the absolute best. I’ve been on over 10 trips and this guy always gets the limits. He’s been fishing marine area 10 for 30 years and his trips are fun and jam packed with salmon slammin!!

We caught rock fish, salmon, flounder, crabs and a shark! Of course we couldn’t keep everything, but it was a lot of fun and Captain knows his locations. We would definitely use him again.
