Charter Fishing Seattle, operating as Puget Sound Sports Fishing, offers year-round guided salmon charters out of Edmonds, Washington, just minutes from downtown Seattle. Captain Murphy Pierson has fished the waters of the Puget Sound for more than 30 years, guiding trips from Seattle up to Everett and building a reputation for consistently putting guests on fish.
The seasonal lineup follows Puget Sound’s salmon runs closely, with Blackmouth salmon fishing in winter, Chinook salmon through spring and summer, and Coho, Pink, Chum, and Sockeye salmon rounding out the fall season. Charter Fishing Seattle also offers bottom fishing and Lingcod trips for those looking to target something beyond salmon. Every trip is captained by a U.S. Coast Guard licensed skipper aboard a boat fully licensed with the Washington State Department of Fisheries and Coast Guard approved.
Every charter includes all equipment, rods, reels, bait, and tackle, along with cleaning and bagging of the day’s catch before heading back to the dock. Fishing licenses are available for purchase for $12, and afternoon trips are offered during the summer months for added scheduling flexibility. Pricing runs $298 per person plus tax and license, with an $80 per person deposit required to guarantee a reservation.
Guests consistently highlight Captain Murphy’s decades of local knowledge and his ability to get groups limited out quickly, with reviews describing memorable family outings, milestone birthday trips, and productive days chasing King salmon. Gift certificates are also available for those looking to give the experience as a present.
For anglers looking to fish salmon, lingcod, or bottom fish in the Puget Sound with a highly experienced, longtime local captain, Charter Fishing Seattle offers a well-reviewed, Edmonds-based fishing charter just minutes from downtown Seattle.
