Morning Trio – Crab n Squid & Flounder (Shared)

Crabs, Squid & Flounder – Triple the Catch, One Easy Morning

Why settle for one when you can catch three?

This 5-hour shared morning combo with Tengu Charters is the ultimate Puget Sound sampler, combining crabbing, squid jigging, and light-tackle flounder fishing in one fun-filled trip. No crowds, no rush, just easy action, good company, and the taste of the Sound’s freshest flavors. Captain Kyle will drop the pots for sweet Dungeness crab, guide you through jigging for squid perfect for calamari, and help you reel in flounder that fries up beautifully for fish and chips, all while taking in the scenic views of Puget Sound aboard your private charter.

About 

We’ll start by dropping crab pots to soak for the morning. Next, it’s time to chase squid near the marina lights while they’re still active in the shallows. Captain Kyle will give a short tutorial on jigging, detecting bites, and share techniques to help everyone get hooked up. 

After squidding, we’ll either check the crab pots or switch to flounder fishing, depending on the tide and timing.
