We booked this charter hoping to give our boys a fun, memorable fishing tripโand it absolutely delivered. The weather was perfect, with calm waters, a gorgeous view of the Seattle coastline, and even sightings of porpoises, jumping salmon, and sea hawks. Our guide worked hard to get us on fish, and he didโ1 coho and 10 pink salmon (plus a king salmon we released because it was out of season). The boys loved every minute, from reeling in their fish to bringing home a cooler full of fresh salmon. We left with great memories, beautiful photos, and enough fish for several meals. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a successful day on the water in the Puget Sound. Thanks Matt!

We had such a terrific day on the water with Captain Matt. My teenage nephews loved it and caught several pink salmon back to back. The boat was perfect for the 4 of us and it was a surprise and a delight that crab pots were also a part of the experience and bounty. We had a delicious dinner with both the salmon and crab that we caught and Captain Matt filet and prepared for us to take home. Wonderful day of fishing and experience we will never forget. Thanks again!
Captain Messing made the experience easy and fun, setting everything up for us novice fishermen (one of us had some knowledge and experience). We ended up catching a nice 24โ King Salmon. When we got back to the slip, Captain Messing prepared the fish for us. When he cut into the fish, he noted that it was a White King Salmon, very rare and prized catch. Based on his comments, we went back and researched that these were truly rare and prized, and was delicious!
An unforgettable day on the water! Took my 12-year-old nephew out for his first salmon fishing trip and couldnโt have asked for a better experience. We spent the day on the Sound with perfect weather, great company, and even better fishing. We caught our limit of salmon and had a blast doing it. The captain was fantasticโsupportive, patient, and really helped make it fun and educational for my nephew. It was a great way to introduce him to fishing, and heโs already asking when we can go again. Highly recommend, and weโll definitely be booking another trip soon!

Matt had us depart early to access a more productive area. Within ten minutes we had a keeper onboard. Over the next few hours we caught six with three legal fish to take home. The ones we had to turn back were massive blackmouthsโฆthe disappointing part was not being able to keep the wild fish. A lifelong memory for my Grandsons that will remain as one of the best! Thanks Matt! Loved the trip.
