There is nothing quite like watching a child catch their very first salmon.
Every summer, families from around the country join All Star Fishing Charters to experience the excitement of Seattle coho salmon fishing. The smiles on these young anglers say it all. Whether it’s a first-time fisherman or an experienced young outdoorsman, catching a bright coho salmon creates memories that last a lifetime.
Our experienced captains specialize in making family fishing trips enjoyable for everyone. We provide all the rods, reels, bait, tackle, and instruction needed, so parents can relax and enjoy the experience alongside their children.
Why Coho Salmon Are Perfect for Kids
Coho salmon are one of the most exciting fish to catch in Puget Sound.
Unlike many other species, coho are aggressive feeders that fight hard once hooked. They often make fast runs and exciting jumps that keep young anglers engaged from start to finish. Better yet, summer often provides steady action, giving kids multiple opportunities to reel in fish during the trip.
Watching the rod bend over and hearing the reel scream is an experience few children ever forget.
No Experience Necessary
One of the biggest concerns parents have is whether their children need fishing experience.
The answer is simple—absolutely not.
Our crew enjoys teaching beginners and works patiently with children throughout the trip. We help every angler learn how to fight the fish, reel it to the boat, and celebrate each successful catch.
Safety is always our highest priority, and every child is provided with a properly fitted Coast Guard-approved life jacket.
A Comfortable Family Adventure
Our boats feature comfortable seating, enclosed cabins for cooler mornings, and clean restroom facilities, making the trip enjoyable for families with children.
While fishing, it’s common to see:
- Harbor seals
- Sea lions
- Bald eagles
- Porpoises
- Beautiful views of the Olympic Mountains and Seattle skyline
Even between bites, there is always something exciting to see.
The Best Time for Seattle Coho Salmon Fishing
Summer marks the beginning of one of the most enjoyable salmon fisheries in Puget Sound.
Resident coho begin arriving in June, providing excellent fishing opportunities throughout the summer. As August arrives, larger ocean-returning coho join the fishery, offering even more exciting action for anglers of every age.
Morning trips generally provide the best fishing conditions, although afternoon charters can also produce excellent catches.
