Great Trip!

Morn. June Special Salmon Shared AM2 adults1 child

My 11 year old and I had a blast! Coming from Texas, we didn't know what to expect. I chose Capt Dave because I wanted my son to learn different techniques on how to fish, and not just troll fishing. Capt Dave was very clear and patient with my son. We caught all morning long! Capt stayed on the fish the whole time. Would definitely recommend and would definitely book again! Thanks Capt Dave for the trip of a lifetime!

Response from Captain

Trip of a lifetime is our goal! While we can’t control the bite we do our best to find the fish! I’m glad your son had a blast on our Puget Sound Fishing charter!

    Highlight of Our Washington Trip

    Evening Trip – Salmon Private (PM)3 adults

    We had a perfect afternoon/evening on the water with Captain Dave. The boat was clean, well maintained, and comfortable. Captain Dave met us at the marina peer and was very personable and pleasant. Throughout the trip he was engaging and shared his love and knowledge of the area and of the sport. This was our first time fishing with a mooching style and really liked the interactivity of fishing in that manner verses just watching a line. He worked hard to get us on fish and it was successful. Our family of three caught Coho salmon, Chinook salmon, and shark. In addition to his style and friendliness throughout the trip, I appreciate his knowledge of the water. He had been proactive in reaching out to us to move our timeslot up to capitalize on better tides and to avoid some incoming weather. As we were heading in after a successful few hours, it was evident that he truly made the right call as the waters were turning rough. We had a blast and I would highly recommend Captain Dave and Wind Knot.

    Great afternoon experience!!

    Evening Trip – Salmon Private (PM)2 adults

    David was very knowledgeable about he area. asked if we wanted to drop crab pots (not expected) then headed to a geat fihing spot. Was just myelf and my 15 year old son who neither of us had ever been on a charter boat. Started getting bites within minutes of droping our lines. My son pulled up a beautiful Chinook (had to release), I caught a 7.3 lbs salmon (able to keep), 2 flounder (choose to release), several fish right to the boat but spit the hook last minute. Great captain, we had a blast would definitely go again!! Memories both of us will always remember!

    perfect late year trip

    Afternoon Trip – Salmon Private(PM)4 adults2 children

    our family came down from northern Alberta Canada for a vacation to watch a seahawks game and so some last of the season fishing. We met captain David and he took us out for the afternoon. My youngest 10 yr old son had really gotten into fishing the last few years and we have not been ocean fishing before. Captin David did not disappoint, we caught every fish we could that was availbe that time of season and my sons highlight was being able to catch sharks that were not supposed to be around that late in the season. He was pumped and talked about it all night. definitely the highlight of our trip and something our son will never forget! thanks Captin David for the family memories! we will definitely be back!

    Reported Catch
    Chinook Salmon
    Coho Salmon

    Such a great fishing trip!

    Afternoon Trip – Salmon Private(PM)5 adults1 child

    Captain Dave made the day enjoyable! He was knowledgeable and patient with our lack of experience. The boat was a perfect size for 5 of us and we left with enough crab for dinner. I definitely recommend!

    Response from Captain

    Yolanda I’m so glad your family enjoyed the catch and release Chinook Salmon fishing on on Puget Sound! Crab bonus is always fun!
