Background
Captain Mathew Messing grew up fishing the Puget Sound since he was 8 years old and it’s been his #1 passion since. As a kid growing up in Kitsap County, he always dreamed of one day becoming a charter captain and today that dream has finally come true. He says his main goal is to put you on fish and load up your freezer so you don’t leave his boat empty-handed. Capt. Mathew has also competed in multiple tournaments and won 1st place at a local fishing derby where he took home $1,000 in prize money. Although Capt. Mathew loves to compete, his true commitment is to his customers. So next time you’re in Seattle, be sure to check out Messin’ Around Fishing Charters and get ready to chase Salmon and Lingcod on the Puget Sound!
Techniques
Capt. Mathew prefers to troll for Salmon but he'll try other techniques, including jigging and mooching in order to put you on fish!
