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.

Have been out with Mike several times and one thing is always consistent - he finds the fish! Great, comfortable boat makes a cruise around the Puget Sound even better. Can't say enough good things about the experiences I've had - many awesome memories made with friends and family.

Matthew

Overall an amazing experience. Mike is an incredibly knowledgeable guide, he provided a multitude of tips and information, and answered any and every question our group had. I had never fished the Puget Sound, and Best Seattle Fishing made me feel at home and at ease on the water. Highly recommend!

Garrett

Captain Sean was very knowledgeable and great at getting everyone on board involved. Super fun and productive trip out on the sound. I would absolutely recommend taking a guided trip with them and I will most likely do it again myself.

We had the best day fishing with Cary Hofman today. Couldn’t ask for a better experience. He offers the perfect combination of instructions and encouragement. He's a kind and generous family man who you can feel safe with. We are customers for life!

Went fishing with Cary Hofmann and had a fantastic time on the water. Limits of Blackmouth on flat calm water and sunny weather. Capt. Cary provided a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

We spent a wonderful morning with Captain Cary. He is unbelievably knowledgable and passionate about fishing. Fishing is his life and it shows. He was patient and walked us through everything he was doing.

Andrea C

Cary, thank you again for fantastic work yesterday morning. At lunch yesterday, the 4 of us were all talking about how much of an excellent guide you are. Take care, we look forward to fishing together again next July.
