Cary was our guide on the Skykomish River and his experience, knowledge and personality was outstanding. He was born and raised in the area, has spent 15+ years guiding here and was the best guide I have run across. He knows where and how to fish this river, that like most rivers is constantly changing due to temp., water condition, river flow etc. Patient, pleasant, helpful and upbeat. He has a large following so book your trip in advance.

A fishing adventure with my family and Captain Mike was the highlight of my birthday in September! Captain Mike’s passion, patience, and deep knowledge of the waters and fish made our trip unforgettable. Our crew had a "reely" fun time – mom was the star, landing the biggest coho, while our older son managed to catch two in his sleep, literally! 😂 If you're looking for an amazing experience on Puget Sound, Captain Mike's incredible setup and expertise are unmatched. Can't wait for our next adventure! 🎣🚤

Ok, listen up friends. Stop looking around for another fishing charter and book your trip with Carey Hoffman. Just spent a great day with this dude and we all had our limit during this trip. He knows where the fish are and how to hook them. Most important though is Carey is a genuine good and funny man. We will be back!

My experience fishing with best Seattle fishing was awesome!! My husband and I are from California and came out to Seattle for this fishing trip. And it was well worth it. We have no complaints at all. Captain Sean was super awesome. We couldn’t ask for any other. I caught a 8 pound coho salmon on my first catch. My husband caught a pink salmon on his first catch. We had the best time ever!! If anyone is looking for a captain that is good at his job, book with captain Sean. He will not disappoint you. THANK YOU SO MUCH Captain SEAN. You made our trip. 😊

I highly recommend Captain Mike and will definitely be booking with him again in the future. He was very sincere and tried really hard to let my kids catch fish. Hard working and easy going at the same time, I can’t say this about many people. We caught a huge King Salmon, tons of flounders, and even 3 crabs!

I booked a trip with Best Seattle Fishing - not knowing what to expect. A friend and I, neither of us who had any experience with fishing, went out with Captain Sean. We had SO MUCH FUN. Sean was patient while teaching us, encouraging and really a delight to spend an afternoon with. I highly recommend going out with this crew - and will totally be doing it again. As a native of Seattle, I can't believe it took me so long to do this but I will surely be booking Best Seattle Fishing again. 10/10 would recommend.
