Ready to cast a line in Edmonds? Northwest Fishing Charters is here to make it happen! Captain Rich will be your guide, bringing aboard their sportfishing experience.

There's no guarantee when you're fishing, but just some of the species you can catch around here include Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Chum Salmon, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, and more with any luck.

You can expect to do some trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites so that everyone stays happy and energized!

You'll be dropping lines from a 28' Sportfishing that holds up to 6 passengers. It has downriggers, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible.

Capt. Rich has rods and reels for you, along with lures.

You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

You could keep reading this, but wouldn't you rather be fishing with Northwest Fishing Charters?

    First-time salmon fishing, unforgettable experience with Captain Rich

    6 Hour Trip on September 10, 2026 • 1 adult

    Captain Rich made this trip an amazing experience from start to finish. We started right on time, and there were only four of us on the boat besides Captain Rich, which made the trip feel very personal. For me, choosing a fishing charter is really about the captain, his experience, his knowledge of the water, and how he makes the day feel. Going with Captain Rich was an experience in itself. He knows exactly where to go and where the fish are. In our case, we were fishing for salmon, and he took us straight to the right spots. The fishing was phenomenal. It felt like almost every time we dropped a line, something was happening. I caught four salmon myself. Two were kings that had to be released because they weren’t in season, and I kept two beautiful coho. This was my very first time salmon fishing, and I caught my limit so quickly that I eventually just sat back and watched everyone else fish. Captain Rich was patient, professional, welcoming, and genuinely fun to spend the morning with. We were talking, laughing, and listening to his stories throughout the trip. At the end, he filleted our fish incredibly quickly and professionally, which was the perfect finish to the day. This trip definitely made me want to continue fishing, and I would absolutely go out with Captain Rich again and again. Highly, highly recommended.

    6 Hour Trip – 4 person private trip on July 3, 2026 • 3 adults

    Capitan Rich is the definition of a professional Capitan that truly cares about the type of experience that his guests have. Great boat, focus on safety and, of course, fishing! And this is our second time with Captain Rich. Last time we didn't catch anything we could bring back but we had such a nice time and he tried so hard. We knew that if we came back we would enjoy our trip and bring home some fish. The second time did none disappoint. Highly recommended.

    Capt. put us on the fish!!!

    6 Hour Trip on June 21, 2026 • 1 adult

    The boat left the dock at 5:00 and we had the forst in the boat before 5:30. We were back at the dock with a limit of 8 fish by 8:00. No doubt the other boats were watching our every move. I’ve had the privilege of fishing with Capt.Rich for almost 10 years now and am convinced he knows these waters as well as anyone. If the fish are out there, he knows how to find them

    Morning Salmon Trip

    6 Hour Trip on July 10, 2026

    We have taken a few charter trips in the last few months and this was by far our favorite. Captain Rich is very knowledgable and everyone on the charter limited on salmon. We enjoyed it so much that we will be joining him again to fish for Kings in a couple of weeks.

    Great fishing and down to earth captain

    6 Hour Trip on August 7, 2026 • 2 adults

    Rich was the most down to earth, easy to converse with captain I’ve ever had on a fishing charter. He also put us on the fish early, and the day flew by. Had a great experience with him, and would do it all over again. Thanks, Rich!

Fishing with Rich
6 Hour Trip – 4 person private trip on July 29, 2026 • 5 adults

Captain Rich’s knowledge and enthusiasm for getting us on the water fishing and catching is exceptional! From super easy scheduling to meeting us at daylight through Captain Rich expertly filleting our catch before we departed for home. The perfect fishing day with a competent Captain who makes it all fun. Thankyou for another excellent fishing experience this year! We all look forward to another wonderful fishing excursion next year!

Amazing fishing experience
6 Hour Trip on July 12, 2026

Went out with two of my buddies on the sound for some salmon. It was my first time fishing before and captain Rich was super helpful showing us how to reel in fish. Had many bites and we caught out limit within a few hours. He knew several great spots where fish were likely to be and we never had to wait long to have another fish on the line. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great time on the sound.

Reported catch:
Chinook Salmon
