Kyle took us out (my wife, son and myself). He was very knowledgeable and helpful. We did some cast fishing for a while. Caught some dogfish. Then we moved to another location and did some trolling. When Kyle saw something on the line he would grab the fishing rod and pass it on to one of us and we would try to reel in the fish. We caught four good sized salmon, two were Chinook and two coho. My son got to reel in a huge Chinook salmon. We almost caught a fifth salmon but it got off right before Kyle could net it. Honestly, it would have still been fun even if we hadn’t caught anything (maybe a little disappointing). We got some great pictures and saw some dolphins. Overall fantastic trip and Kyle was a great guide. Thanks Kyle!

Cpt Kyle made everything look easy but it was obvious it was easy because of his fishing knowledge and skill. He took us right to the fish and we caught fish the whole trip. He chose a technique that produced while other boats in the area were not doing anything. Cpt Kyle was easy to talk to and super knowledgeable about the fishery and the area. He worked hard the whole time and his boat is a well oiled machine. He made it fun and we took home a bunch of fish.

Did a 6hr combo trip, departing out of Edmonds. Even though we only got one keeper coho salmon, this trip was far from a letdown—because we limited out on crab and had a great time. We also hooked a king, rockfish, flounder, and several dogfish. Keep those reels moving to avoid those dogfish.

There was a fast moving barge that sent a wave right into us, so consider packing extra socks and pants, especially if it’s cold. Dramamine for those suceptible to seasickness, because the water could get choppy. It calmed down a lot as time went by, but every day will be different.

Captain Kyle was knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to make sure everyone in my party had a good experience. He was suggestive on techniques, and was open to switching things up. Super quick to respond to fixing bait and hooks for mooching. We ended up trolling for the last portion, where we got the coho.

Coming home with a haul of fresh crab more than made up for the light salmon bite. If my guests are in town soon, I’ll be booking with Tengu Charters again.

Great time on the boat and the fish were running!  Captain knew right where to put us to catch some nice ones. I plan on using Tengu Charters again before the season is over. The boat had everything we needed to fish. Snacks and drinks if we needed. But honestly, we didn’t have time for those items. Only time to reel in the next fish!  Thank you for a great experience out on the water.

My wife and I had an amazing wine with Captain Kyle of Tengu Charters! We were out and fishing within 20 min of getting there and we both had fish on the first casts! He was extremely helpful and patient with us both. Knew what he was doing and had us on fish for the whole trip. Definitely made my Father’s Day weekend a great one! We tallied 11 king, 3 coho and 1 dogfish (only kept the coho). He will definitely be my go to for the area!
