Welcome to
Fat Otter Fishing Charter

Catch Big Fish.
Make Bigger Memories.

Join us in the stunning, protected waters of Sekiu, Washington—arguably some of the best, and most protected fishing waters in the Pacific Northwest. At Fat Otter Fishing Charter, we specialize in catching salmon, lingcod, rockfish, and halibut aboard our fully outfitted boat, Even Odder, led by an experienced and friendly Captain John.

This is a hands-on, family-friendly adventure where fun is just as important as the fish. Whether you're an eager first-timer or a seasoned angler, your trip will be tailored to your comfort level. Want to set lines and run the downriggers? Go for it. Prefer to grab the rod when the fish hits? We’ve got you covered—and we’ll be right there cheering you on as you reel it in.

Your catch will be iced immediately, and once we’re back at the dock, we’ll head to The Gut Hut, where expert processors can fillet and vacuum-pack your fish for you.

Come for the fish, stay for the stories. Let’s make a day on the water you’ll never forget.

Testimonials

  • “Our trip with John was perfect. Great boat, great captain, and amazing fishing. John is a remarkably friendly and affable captain, a welcome change from the many charter captains I’ve fished with. He knows the ropes, the tackle, the best spots, and he has a heart of gold.”

    – Tom Lewis

  • “The state gave us another day to fish halibut so I found captain John Dickson. I just have to say thank you John for a great day on the water, and I definitely would recommend Fat Otter for any fishing trip.”

  • “The most amazing time we’ve ever had fishing. John put us on the fish and they never stopped biting. Wow to be so fortunate as to be able to be selective. As fishermen we know not all days are like this, but we could tell John was very knowledgeable about fish and thinks out of the box and put us in the sweet spot. Thanks John we’ll be back.”
