What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Edmonds, Washington for the first time?

If it’s your first time fishing in Edmonds, go with an experienced local captain who knows the water and the seasonal regulations. September was excellent for coho, and the action started almost immediately for us. Dress in layers because the early morning can be cold on the water, take seasickness medicine beforehand if you’re prone to it, and bring a cooler for your catch. Most importantly, listen to your captain and enjoy the experience.

Absolutely, we are from Texas and have never fished for any really large fish like salmon. It’s a completely different experience and Captain Jeff was super patient and explained everything so well. I was fishing with my 6 year old and my 10 year old who (she had never been on a charter before), and we all had the best experience.

Great knowledgable, energetic, and friendly Captain, Safe and roomy boat. Great fishing gear that performs. Only the best. You can trust Captain Rich get you fishing quickly and demonstrate how to have a great time on the water! Captain Rich earned and deserves our highest recommendation!

Parking next to the dock. Bottled Water is provided on the boat. Bring snacks and any drinks you may want. Bring binoculars to see porpoise and maybe a whale or orca. Bring your cooler for your catch to take home which the captain will fillet on the boat heading back to the dock.

First time here, this season looked like the King were leaving and the Coho coming in late July. Numbers at the locks for Kings were relatively low and Coho was all over the place. Really can’t go wrong but wanting to try to come back in a year with a lot of Pinks or August/September and try for some Coho.

with the cost of charter fishing for half day at $1,125 I will recommend spending that money at something a lot more interactive fun. We spent 5 hours basically sitting on an ice cooler there were no seats they were no food they would no drinks and worst of all there no fish.

Tengu Charters is definitely a top notch outfit. And I can one hundred percent recommend booking with Kyle.

Great bites on the afternoon trip, we were hitting pretty consistently with 5 of us on the boat getting bites almost at the same time.

Great port to leave from. Its a pretty area and we celebrated our first day fishing for salmon with Snoqualmie Ice Cream!

due to state regulations and later in August fishing was slower than we wanted. We still got 2 keepers out of the trip though so we're satisfied!

it id good to do some research on what to expwct becore going in. It was my first time and did not know a lot about de

Immaculate boat. Top notch captain. You won’t find a more professional operation.

I was told it's best around late August in the morning or evenings, so that's when i plan to go again with Captain Dylan.

great weather in July.. glad for a wind breaker/rain coat and sun protection. stay in a place with a kitchen...the salmon we cooked the same day was AMAZING!

was absolutely excited to learn from the captain on how to use the fishing equipment properly to secure every fish on the line

Book with Tengu Charters. He knows his stuff! You can spend waaaay more $$ if you want, to catch the same fish on other charters. This charter was perfect for us. Capt Kyle is your guy.

Dress warm, the weather can be unpredictable in September. Bring a large cooler to take your catch home!

Make sure you get captain with crew . And not in hurry and not get fees double charge and blame his booking company fish finders

Axis Charters did not disappoint! We had a fantastic time and caught more fish than we could have ever expected! It was a memorable experience!

Was amazing. Caught our limit for 4 less one. We had several big ones that got away. Pink salmon are tough. Captain was amazing and knew where to find the fish.

Could be farther from the desired fishing destination, if going to MA10 from Edmonds. It's about a 25 minute ride.

Just missed the King Salmon season, but both were active in August. It's a good time to get on the water due to less chance of rain this time of year

Be prepared to have room on your plate, fridge, smoker or freezer, because the salmon fishing gets hot as September gets closer.

captin dan was great in ever way with catching as many fishhe was the hardest warking ca

The mornings are apparently better but I would not book a noon trip at this time of year.

Bring drinks and snacks as most of the time you’ll just be waiting for the fish to bite the line.
