Cut Plug Charters

Experience the unique art of salmon mooching on Puget Sound with active, hands-on fishing techniques and stunning Pacific Northwest scenery.

Cut Plug Charters operates out of Shilshole Bay Marina in Seattle, offering guided fishing trips on Puget Sound. The charter specializes in active salmon mooching using hand-cut herring plugs and bottom fishing for lingcod and flounder. The business provides both private and shared boat options with morning and afternoon departures year-round. Trips are designed to be hands-on experiences suitable for all ages, focusing on consistent action rather than passive trolling. The fleet also offers sightseeing cruises that highlight the local wildlife and scenic views of the surrounding islands.
