Welcome to Renegade Charters. We are a family-friendly service where you can enjoy catching fish with an experienced, friendly captain and crew, have fun while making memories of great times that last a lifetime.

Catch Salmon, Lingcod, Rockfish, Halibut, Flounder, Crab & Squid in the beautiful and arguably some of the best, and most protected fishing waters in the Pacific Northwest.

The trips are tailored to each angler's desires and abilities. You can help put the lines in, run the downriggers, or you can just grab a pole with a fish on the line, and we will cheer you on as you reel down and fight the fish in toward the waiting net.

We offer a safe, clean, comfortable, well equipped, fully licensed, and insured fishing boat. You'll be dropping lines from a 26' Kingfisher, the 'Wylie Dog' that comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests. The boat is outfitted with all the essential gear, this vessel is built for both comfort and performance. We provide all fishing tackle (rods, reels, lures, and bait). We clean and bag your fish at the end of the day.

Before coming aboard, All anglers age 15 and up must have a fishing license.
All must have a catch record card when fishing for Salmon and or Halibut.
You can buy a one day license the day of your trip on the boat for $15.
You can also purchase online or at any local sporting goods store.

We encourage all of our guests to bring something to eat and drink.
Since we do not know what the weather will be like we suggest you should bring sunscreen, sunglasses, clothing to protect you from the elements. A camera as we never know what we will encounter, from beautiful mountains to wildlife. If you get motion sickness you may want to consider bringing some Dramamine.
Finally, to transport your catch home we suggest a medium-sized cooler.

Your fishing trip with Renegade Fishing Charters is just a click away.

    great experience

    6 Hour Trip – Puget Sound Salmon on June 5, 2026 • 2 adults

    I’m a long time Tacoman who has never had luck catching kings on my own. Wayne got me and my brother-in-law on fish and we both limited with our first-ever Commmencement Bay kings. Wayne is soft spoken, easy going ans very kind. He freely shared his tips for fishing and was engaged throughout the day without being bossy or overbearing. I definitely hope to fish with him again.

    Wayne was an excellent host and captain! Loved this family time and enjoyed catching fish. We don’t know how to fish so doing this charter with Wayne was perfect! Thanks for the great memories and laughs!

    Father Daughter Trip!

    6 Hour Trip – Puget Sound Salmon on July 18, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    My young daughter and I had a wonderful time out on Puget Sound with Captain Wayne on the Wiley Dog. The experience was a Father’s Day gift from my family and it was a blast. Wayne was communicative about logistics leading up to the trip and was so kind and thoughtful in his accommodating my daughter’s many questions and curiosities (mine too!). Would definitely book another trip with him and recommend him for both new and experienced charter bookers.

    Great Captain

    6 Hour Trip – Puget Sound Salmon on June 13, 2026 • 4 adults

    Went fishing with Wayne for two days. One for Salmon and the next for Lingcod. Unfortunately its called fishing and not catching, but not due to Wayne trying. We fished and area and when we were not successful he would try another with us. He is patient and has a ton of knowledge of the area. If coming to the area to fish again I would check to see if any dates with him are available.

Capt. Wayne runs trips out of Tacoma aboard 26' Kingfisher Sportfishing. Keep your eyes peeled for Pink Salmon, Coho Salmon and Halibut as you try your hand at bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, and more. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.
