Your services cater to people who want to enjoy fishing but don't have the necessary skills or equipment, including access to a boat or knowledge of fishing locations. You will be able to enjoy great views of the Puget Sound at each fishing location. Captain Kyle provides on-site tutorials that teach clientele a unique Japanese American-influenced style of fishing, called “Mooching”. The tutorial is suitable for all levels of fishers. Most salmon fishers and charters use a different technique that uses a downrigger, which isn't engaging and can't feel the fish bite like "mooching".
The Catch
Mooching for salmon offers a more interactive experience, allowing customers to feel the excitement of actively hooking a fish. This technique involves casting out a line with a herring hooked to a leader and attached to a sinker. As the herring sinks and spins through the water, its movement mimics natural prey, drawing in the salmon and enticing them to bite.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meet at Gate C at the south end of the Edmonds Marina. The gate is near the front the bathrooms and a stack of boats. Call/text Captain Kyle when you arrive at the gate and he will let you in through the gate.
What to expect
About
Everyone in the party will board the boat and prepare everyone to cruise out into the Puget Sound.
Once Captain Kyle has reached the first destination, he will do a brief tutorial on how to fish, and he will provide services during each cast and catch (ie, putting bait on, untangling lines, changing hooks, and other services to improve chances to catch a fish). He will also offer assistance throughout the day with tips and tricks for hooking up a fish. Captain Kyle will decide strategically to move to a different spot depending on the time, tide, and number of fish caught.
This trip will qualify for Charter's prize if they catch the biggest salmon of the year. The prize will be 1 free salmon afternoon trip with one additional person of your choosing the following year (expires at the end of the following year).
