    First-time salmon fishing, unforgettable experience with Captain Rich

    6 Hour Trip • 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.

    Great Family Fishing Trip

    6 Hour Trip – 4 person private trip • 4 adults • 1 child

    Made the trip to the PNW from Atlanta and this salmon fishing trip was one of the things our family looked forward to the most. Captain Rich made sure it was memorable for all of us but especially my 17 and 11 YO sons. We left with our limit in the boat and he was able to recommend a local fish monger to process, freeze, and pack our catch for the flight home. We now have a freezer full of salmon. 10/10 highly recommend. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again if we are ever in the area again.

    Memorable Family Outing

    6 Hour Trip – 4 person private trip • 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.

    Fishing with Rich

    6 Hour Trip – 4 person private trip • 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

    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

    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!
