Where We Fish

The Puget Sound offers exceptional fishing opportunities year-round, especially for salmon and lingcod. Depending on the season, we launch primarily from Shilshole Bay Marina in Seattle. However, several premier lakes just under an hour away also provide excellent bass fishing. Therefore, no matter what species you’re targeting, we have options for you.
In addition, our Ridge to River Outdoors team includes professional associate fishing guides. As a result, you’ll gain access to even more of Washington’s beautiful rivers and waterways. Because of this, you’re never far from your next exciting fishing opportunity.
What We Offer
Welcome to a fishing experience that’s fully equipped and thoughtfully designed. Our guided charter trips typically last 6–7 hours, depending on the trip type. We provide:
- The boat
- All fishing gear and tackle
- Bait
- Fuel
- A fully licensed guide or captain
Meanwhile, all you need to bring is your Washington state fishing license, a sack lunch, and clothing appropriate for the weather. You’ll meet us dockside or at the designated boat launch location, depending on the trip.
Welcome, we have you covered 365 days a year.
