Bring warmer clothes than the weather calls for. When the wind picks up on the water it’s like a refrigerator.

Lamott instructed us to dress in layers and we were very glad we did. It was a bit chillier then we expected but we were fine with the layers.

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.

Be sure to layer your clothing, bring a snack and have an open mind as it is a different type of fishing. We did, and it made for the perfect day & perfect experience!

We did only catch 1 fish, and didn’t see any other boats that were out catching fish. So overall a slow day. We still had a great time!

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

Dress in layered clothes if you go out early as the weather can warm up quickly during the summer. Matt is an easy going and very knowledgeable captain. We have been out on four trips with him in just over a year and we always have great time.

Fishing in the Sound out of Everett gets you to good fishing quickly. Be sure to dress in layers, and in the PNW, it's always a good idea to bring rain gear!

I wished to catch more of a variety, but you can't control Mother Nature, lol. The boating, company and views in Seattle was better than fishing in my part of the Gulf, that's for sure!
