About Us

Captain Paul Kim has been a resident of Washington state for 23 years. His love for the outdoors and fishing started when he was 4 years old growing up in Colorado. He would seek out rivers, creeks, lakes, and had a natural gravitation to everything and all things aquatic.

He has a passion for fly fishing and is a certified FFF instructor and member of Trout Unlimited. His love for the saltwater led him to inshore and offshore pursuits chasing fish from Alaska to Mexico. His first saltwater boat was a 14.5′ Tiderunner, his first trip to Neah Bay he was forever changed. Since then, he has skippered all sorts of vessels and understands habitat, bait, tides and bathymetrics.

Zack K., deckhand:

Zack is a student in Bellevue, Washington and has been a lifelong resident of Washington. He has a deep passion for fishing and loves being on the water. He got his start early, fishing Puget Sound with his dad and grandpa and got hooked after he landed his first salmon at the age of two. Today he continues to pursue his passion and enjoys fly-fishing and chasing fish all over Puget Sound.

Charters

We specialize in fishing the scenic waters of Puget Sound targeting Salmon, Bottomfish and Seasonally Pacific Market Squid. The salmon fishery typically starts in early June and is in fall swing by July and August. Coho or silver salmon will be around from August and into October, and in odd numbered years we will see Pink Salmon in the sound from Mid July through the month of August. Our central Puget Sound trips originate from Ballard and offer a unique experience to be able to target salmon minutes from a major metropolis.

Squid Fishing, minimum of 4 anglers, $850 up to 6 anglers with added rates, inquire with Capt. Paul.

A memorable experience with tour of the Seattle city skyline, featuring the Space Needle, Great Wheel, and views of T-Mobile Park and Lumen field. Our trips depart from Shilshole Marina or with advanced notice from Seacrest pier in scenic West Seattle. We feature hand made and local premium jigs.
