EXCELLENT Based on 62 reviews Posted on Todd Stotz2025-10-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Caught my first salmon thanks to Carl! His many years of experience were obvious, as all 4 of us in our party limited out quickly. I was even able to make it into work that day — and not too late! I’m already looking forward to going out again when I get the chance.Posted on Curtis Fowler2025-10-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went out with Fish Finders and Capt Carl on many occasions. We always catch our limit and have so much fun. Capt Carl is very well versed at what he does and like the name knows how to find the fish!!! I highly recommend booking a charter with Fish Finders and Enjoying the trip. Cheers 🤠Posted on Nathan Rose2025-10-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a returning customer to Captain Carl - we had a wonderful time previously and this time, as well. He is knowledgable about what fish are biting and where, and he works hard to make sure that any fish that get hooked make it into the boat. His attention to detail, safety (in particular) and general great manner with new people was very much appreciated. I'll book again, and soon!Posted on Daniel Vinyar2025-09-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great fishing and knowledgeable captain.Posted on brad Toland2025-09-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. we had a great time with Carl! He had us on the fish when everyone else was dragging lines. He knows the area so well other boats were calling him for tips! I highly recommend him for any fishing in the Puget SoundPosted on AnGee Baldini2025-09-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Experienced salmon fisherman here and Carl is truly the best captain I’ve been out with. He puts you on the fish consistently! We were surrounded by boats with slow fishing and caught our limit in 1 hour! Unbelievable !!Posted on Brett Rannow2025-08-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Carl was astounding - worth every penny. We went on a private 6-person charter and were in the action the entire time. Lots of fish! Captain Carl was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and willing to teach us along the way. Will absolutely book with him again!Posted on Matthew Mraz2025-08-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went out with Carl, was a knowledgeable, chill guy that treated us with respect and taught us a thing or two on the water while doing all of the hard work. Caught more than I expected and he filleted all the fish at the end of the tour for us. Was a private tour with my 5 other buddies and I, was spacious. Worth every penny!Posted on Greyson McDonald-Lewis2025-08-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Carl got us on some serious fish. I would give 6 stars if I could.Posted on Brice and Clarissa2025-08-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Carl showed me and my friends a great time. We caught tons of fish and Carl had great advice. I would recommend Fish Finders Charters to anyone looking to slay some salmon!
