How we fish up to 6 anglers – We troll for salmon using state of the art downriggers. With controlled depth fishing, we only run up to 3 downriggers at a time. Sometimes due to tide and current, we are limited to 2 downriggers. Customers rotate turns for bites/chances to land a fish. This is common industry practice and yields better results than fishing too much gear and tangling frequently.
Our Boat - Cari Lyn II is a Grady White Marlin 28. At 37′ length overall and 10'7″ wide, we have plenty of room for 6 anglers. This boat is very stable in big water.
Our Grady White is powered by twin 2020 Yamaha 4 stroke 250 HP V6 4.2L engines. We also have a Yamaha 9.9 high thrust kicker engine for trolling. Cari Lyn II is a boat that was built with the legendary Grady White SeaV² hull, which is a "Continuously Variable Vee" hull that delivers a soft and stable ride for the clients.
We have the latest technology and experience to get you into the fish. Doug is on the national pro staff for Humminbird, Cannon and Minn Kota Motors. He uses Humminbird Solix 15 SI Mega+, Solix 12 DI Mega+ with Chirp Radar. We also feature integrated Cannon Optimum downriggers and FishHawk Electronics. We have both VHF and CB radio for communication.
The Cari Lyn II features a 40 gallon livewell, 275 qt. fishbox, an enclosed head and a 300 gallon fuel tank. When the weather gets bad or you need a break, you can head down below to the heated forward berth and relax.
We use use top of the line Okuma rods and reels to help you be successful on your fishing charter with us.
At the end of your fishing charter, we will clean and fillet your catch, at no charge. We use industrial poly fish bags to bag your catch to let you transport your fish home.

We have online booking booking available.
Deposits A $50.00 deposit per angler is required at the time you book your trip. Trips are not secured until a deposit has been made. Note*. We charge a $10.00 booking fee per person, which is not refundable, unless we have to cancel your tip due to unfishable conditions.
The remaining balance must be remitted on the day of your fishing trip. Remaining balance can only be made by cash or credit card at the boat ramp, no checks.
We only accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover at the boat ramp.
Refund Policy To receive a 100% refund, you must provide at least a 14-day notice of cancellation prior to your scheduled trip. In the event you do not provide a 14-day notice of cancellation, you will receive a partial refund, minus the deposit fee of $50.00 + the $10.00 booking fee per person. (IE. if you booked a trip for 4 people, your total deposit was $240.00. 10 days from your fishing trip, you cancelled, you would forfeit the $240.00)
If the waters we are fishing (river or the Puget Sound) are in dangerous or un-fishable condition, we will provide 100% refund, including the deposit, if you do not wish to re-schedule. (IE. I see the river is "blown" and not fish-able, or the winds in Puget Sound are blowing in a manner that will not be good for fishing or is unsafe. I might cancel the trip within 1 days and give you the option to re-schedule or cancel altogether and get a 100% refund.)
If a trip has to be cancelled due to dangerous or un-fishable waters, re-scheduling a trip is typically no problem. We want to get you and your group out on the water to fish.
We will work with your schedule and ours, taking into account the quality of fishing and the water conditions. If we are unable to re-schedule your group because our schedules don't work, you will receive a 100% deposit.
We have a large deck on our 30ft. Grady White. We have hosted clients who used a wheelchair for mobility.
