Rich is a full time charter captain operating out of Edmonds.

 

Rich Olson grew up fishing Puget Sound with his father. With over 40 years experience fishing Puget Sound, Captain Rich knows how to find fish.

 

“I remember when my dad would take me out to Possession Bar, just at the south tip of Whidbey Islandhe really taught me a tremendous amount about fishing, and I have kept those memories and experiences to share with others who fish with me. Depending on the tide, the bait and the fish will get pushed up onto this shallow shelf, which is known as Possession Bar. The fishing can be amazing, depending on the time of year.” Rich Olson
