Westport Fishing Charters in “The Salmon Capital of the World!”

King salmon charter fishing is undeniably one of the ultimate tests for any angler, especially when you hook into a 40-plus pound giant. While there are times when a king’s bite is unmistakable, these big salmon often have a soft touch, and can steal your bait in the blink of an eye. Once hooked, kings will run in all directions, sometimes directly at the boat, and they may take you on a journey around the charter boat’s railing multiple times before finding the bottom of the net. Fishing charters targeting silvers (coho) offer relentless action, and while they may not get as big as kings, silvers more than make up for it with their dogged tenacity and sheer will. Depending on the time of year, it’s possible to target kings and silvers with every cast.
