Captain Dan knows these waters like the back of his hand, and when you step aboard his 30-foot Duckworth at Edmonds Marina, you're getting more than just a fishing trip—you're tapping into decades of local knowledge. This 6-hour morning charter puts you right where the action is in Puget Sound, targeting Coho salmon during their prime feeding hours. Whether you've been fishing these waters for years or you've never held a rod, Captain Dan's got you covered with gear, guidance, and the kind of insider tips that make the difference between a good day and a great one.
Your morning starts early at Edmonds Marina, where Captain Dan will have everything rigged and ready to go. The 30-foot Duckworth isn't just built for looks—this boat handles Puget Sound's conditions with ease, giving you a stable platform whether we're drifting in calm water or working through a bit of chop. You'll have room for up to 4 anglers in the base package, so there's plenty of space to work without bumping elbows. The Pacific Northwest scenery is just a bonus as you watch the sun come up over the Sound, but the real show starts when those downriggers start bouncing and the drag starts screaming. Captain Dan reads the water like a book, adjusting to tides, bait movement, and structure to keep you in the fish zone. He's not just driving the boat—he's actively coaching, helping you feel the bite, set the hook properly, and fight these silver rockets the right way. The morning bite can be hot and heavy, so be ready to stay focused when multiple rods start going off at once.
All your gear comes provided, so you can leave the tackle box at home and focus on fishing. Captain Dan runs a mix of downriggers and wire line setups, depending on what the fish are telling him that day. Coho fishing in Puget Sound is all about finding the right depth and speed—these salmon cruise different levels of the water column as they follow baitfish, and Dan's constantly adjusting based on what his electronics are showing. You'll be running everything from spoons and flasher-hoochie combos to plugs, all depending on conditions and what's been producing. The beauty of fishing with an experienced guide is that he's already done the homework—testing different lures, adjusting leader lengths, and fine-tuning presentations based on recent patterns. When you hook up, you'll feel why Coho are called "silver bullets." These fish fight hard with long runs and acrobatic jumps, and Captain Dan will coach you through the fight to make sure you get that fish to the net. Don't worry about bringing your own gear or figuring out the setup—everything's handled so you can concentrate on the fishing.
Coho salmon are the stars of this show, and for good reason. These Pacific Northwest natives are pure adrenaline on the end of your line, typically running anywhere from 8 to 15 pounds in these waters, with the occasional bigger fish that'll really test your skills. What makes Coho special isn't just their size—it's their attitude. Unlike their Chinook cousins that might slug it out deep, Coho love to jump, run, and put on a show. They're aggressive feeders during their peak season, usually from late summer through fall, which means they'll hit lures hard and fight even harder. The timing of this morning trip is perfect because Coho are often most active during the early hours when baitfish are moving and the water's calm. These salmon are also incredibly good eating, with firm, flaky meat that's perfect whether you're grilling, smoking, or cooking it fresh. Captain Dan knows the seasonal patterns and migration routes that bring these fish through Edmonds waters, positioning you where the action is most likely to happen. The satisfaction of landing a hard-fighting Coho in the scenic waters of Puget Sound is what keeps anglers coming back trip after trip.
This isn't just another fishing charter—it's your chance to fish with someone who lives and breathes these waters every day. Captain Dan's local knowledge, combined with a boat that's built for both comfort and fishing success, gives you the best shot at a memorable day on Puget Sound. The 6-hour format gives you plenty of time to get into fish without feeling rushed, and the morning timing puts you on the water when Coho are most likely to be feeding aggressively. Whether you're planning a family outing, a trip with friends, or just want to experience world-class salmon fishing in one of the Pacific Northwest's premier locations, this charter delivers. All gear is included, the boat accommodates up to 4 guests comfortably, and you'll be fishing with a captain who's dedicated to putting you on fish. Edmonds Marina provides easy access and convenient launching, so you'll be fishing productive water within minutes of leaving the dock. The combination of Captain Dan's expertise, quality equipment, and prime Puget Sound fishing grounds makes this a top-rated choice for anyone serious about salmon fishing. Don't wait too long to secure your dates—peak Coho season books up fast, and the best fishing days fill up first.
Captain Dan's 2025 Duckworth 30-footer is built to handle Puget Sound's waters while you target those prized Coho salmon. Twin Yamaha 350HP engines get you to the fishing grounds quickly, while the aluminum hull cuts through chop for a stable platform when the salmon are biting. The wireless trolling motor lets you work structure quietly without spooking fish, and the fish finder helps locate schools holding in deeper water. With GPS and radar onboard, you'll fish safely even when morning fog rolls in off the Sound. An icebox and refrigerator keep your catch fresh and drinks cold during the 6-hour trip. The boat comfortably fishes up to 4 anglers with plenty of room to work lines and land fish. All tackle is provided, so just bring yourself and get ready to battle some chrome-bright Coho in the productive waters around Edmonds.
