Bite After Dawn - Salmon Charter (Private)

- Duration: 5 Hours (approx.)
- Location: Edmonds, WA
- Product code: PJWBVG
Start your day with a bend in the rod.
Bite After Dawn kicks off at 6:30 AM — just after first light — and delivers 5 solid hours of hands-on mooching action. The early morning calm meets the perfect bite window, giving you prime time to hook into salmon while the tide’s just right. It’s not about being the first boat out, it’s about being there when the fish are ready to feed.
Rise late. Reel early. Mooch smarter.
About
Everyone in the party will board the boat and prepare everyone to cruise out into the Puget Sound.
Once Captain Kyle has reached the first destination, he will do a brief tutorial on how to fish and he will provide services during each cast and catch (ie. putting bait on, untangling lines, changing hooks, and other services to improve chances to catch a fish). He will also offer assistance throughout the day with tips and tricks for hooking up a fish. Captain Kyle will decide strategically to move to a different spot depending on the time, tide, and number of fish caught.
This trip will qualify for Tengu Charter's prize if they catch the biggest salmon of the year. The prize will be 1 free salmon afternoon trip with one additional person of your choosing the following year (expires at the end of the following year).
