Quiet. Please info@inceptionpoint.ai Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for the early-morning bite around Seattle. We’re on a building tide today. Around Elliott Bay and Alki, the low hit in the early pre‑dawn, with a good incoming push through the morning and a decent high late morning to midday. Over toward Tacoma Narrows and the south Sound, expect that swing to lag a bit, but the important thing is that classic “first half of the flood” has been lining up nicely with the early light—prime time for bait to move and predators to follow. According to the National Weather Service in Seattle, we’ve got a typical late‑spring pattern: a weak marine layer early, then partial clearing. Light south to southwest wind in the 5–10 knot range, with a little more breeze in the afternoon. Air temps topping out in the 60s, water temp in central Sound sitting in the low 50s. Sunrise is just after 5:20 a.m., sunset close to 8:50 p.m., so there’s a long window, but the most reliable action has been from first light until the sun gets on the water, then again on the evening flood. Chinook are still mostly a release show in much of the Sound, but there’ve been decent reports of resident coho and hungry blackmouth around Possession Bar, Kingston, and the west side of Bainbridge. Local charter skippers out of Shilshole have been picking a mix of shakers, a few legal blackmouth, and some chunky resident coho in 60–120 feet, with fish suspended 20–60 feet down over deeper water. In Elliott Bay and off Alki, anglers trolling along the edge of the drop have seen modest action on coho, plus the usual dogfish when the tide slackens. Lingcod and rockfish have been the real meat‑and‑potatoes for folks working structure. Reefs and wrecks around West Point, the Tacoma Narrows bridges, and the ledges off Point Defiance have given up solid keeper lingcod with some nice cabezon in the mix. In the ship canal and Lake Union, bass guys have been finding pre‑ and post‑spawn smallmouth stacking on rock piles and bridges, though that’s a bit off‑Sound. For lures, keep it simple and local: 3–4 inch white or glow hootchies behind a green or purple haze flasher have been steady for coho and blackmouth. Silver or green‑splatter Coyote and Kingfisher spoons in the 3.0–3.5 size are a staple; run them 25–40 feet off the ball. When the water’s clear and bright, scale down to smaller spoons and lighter leaders. Herring patterns—both spoons and hootchies—are out‑producing anchovy patterns right now. Bait anglers dragging whole or plug‑cut herring in a slow troll have reported the bigger bites, especially on the morning flood off Possession and Point No Point. If you’re jigging for lings, 4–6 ounce metal jigs in candlefish colors or big white curly‑tail plastics on heavy lead‑heads have been putting fish in the boat; just remember to stay tight to bottom and be ready to lose some gear to the rocks. For shore casters, 1/2 to 3/4 ounce metal jigs and small herring‑profile swimbaits are getting attention from coho, sea‑run cutthroat, and the occasional flounder around the beaches. A couple of hot spots to circle on your chart: First, Alki Point to Fourmile Rock—work the contour lines in 60–140 feet on the incoming tide for coho and blackmouth, especially near bait balls. Second, Possession Bar—classic structure that’s been holding fish all spring; focus on the edges during the first push of the flood. Remember barbless hooks, know which areas are open for what species, and check the latest emergency rules from Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife before you launch.

Great deals on fishing gear https://amzn.to/44gt1Pn 294 Good morning anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for the Seattle area. We’re sitting on a mellow spring pattern in the Sound. According to the National Weather Service, we’ve got mostly cloudy skies around Seattle, light showers drifting through, morning temps in the low 50s rising into the 60s by afternoon, and a south to southwest breeze 5–12 knots. Not nasty, but enough chop you’ll want a decent rain shell and to watch the wind-against-tide lines. NOAA’s tide tables for Seattle show a classic spring mixed tide today: a decent morning ebb, a mid‑day low, then a strong afternoon flood. That first light ebb and the start of the afternoon flood will be your prime bite windows. Plan to be on your spots an hour before each tide swing; that’s when the bait stacks and everything wakes up. Sunrise is right around 5:25 a.m. with sunset close to 8:45 p.m., so you’ve got a generous low‑light bracket. The best action has been right at gray light and again in the last hour before dark when the water lays down and bait comes shallow. Resident coho and blackmouth have been spotty but worth the effort. Local reports from the marinas in Ballard and Shilshole say anglers working 80–130 feet with small spoons and hootchies have picked a mix of shakers and the occasional legal fish. Think 3-inch Coho Killers or Coyotes in green/glow, Irish cream, or white/UV, run 30–40 inches behind an 11-inch flasher in green/glow or chrome. Add scent; herring or anchovy gel has been making a difference on the slower days. Bottomfish have been far more consistent. Inshore structure around Elliott Bay, West Point, and over toward Bainbridge is giving up solid numbers of lingcod and rockfish where open. Folks bouncing 4–6 oz leadheads tipped with whole herring or large curlytail grubs in white or motor oil are reporting steady hook‑ups, especially on the turn of the tide when the current eases enough to stay vertical. Don’t overlook metal: 2–4 oz pipe jigs and slender metal jigs in chrome or glow, yo‑yo’d just off the bottom, are pulling fish and holding up better in the current. Pile perch and flounder are chewing for the shore crowd. Along the Seattle waterfront piers and around Edmonds and Alki, a drop‑shot rig with a bit of shrimp, clam, or small sandworm piece is all you need. Use light line, small hooks, and let the kids handle the rod; there’s been plenty of tap‑tap action. A few squid are still hanging around in the deeper, cleaner water, but it’s tapering off. If you’re out after dark, a small pink or green jig under the lights at Edmonds or the Seattle piers can still scratch out a meal. Hot spots to circle on your chart today: 1) West Point / Meadow Point: Work the 90–140 foot contour on the morning ebb for resident coho and blackmouth with small spoons and hootchies. When the current slacks, drop metal to the bottom and prospect for lingcod on the rocky breaks. 2) Alki Point to Lincoln Park: Troll tight to the break in 60–120 feet during the afternoon flood. Green/glow flashers with white or UV hootchies have been the ticket. In closer, shore casters tossing 1/2–1 oz metal jigs or soft plastics on jig heads are finding flounder and the occasional surprise resident coho. Live bait isn’t really part of the program here, so frozen herring, sand shrimp, and good scent on your artificials are your best “bait.” Keep leaders light, presentations natural, and don’t be afraid to move until you see bait on the sounder; the fish are following the groceries.

Great deals on fishing gear https://amzn.to/44gt1Pn 297 This is Artificial Lure with your Puget Sound fishing report for the greater Seattle area. We’re on a building moon phase and decent moving water this morning. Around Seattle, NOAA tide tables show an early morning low followed by a solid flood pushing in through late morning, then an afternoon high and a softer evening ebb. That morning flood and the first half of the afternoon outgoing are your prime windows. Weather-wise, local forecasts are calling for a cool marine layer at daybreak, light south to southwest breeze under 10 knots, and afternoon clearing with temps in the 60s. That’s classic spring Sound weather: overcast early, brightening later. Winds look manageable for small boats but expect a bit more chop as the day wears on, especially in the open stretches. Sunrise is just before 5:30 a.m., sunset a little after 8:30 p.m., so you’ve got long low-light edges to work. First light and the last hour before dark are lining up nicely with that tide movement, which should perk things up for both salmon and bottomfish. Recent reports from local charter skippers and tackle shops around Shilshole and Elliott Bay say resident coho (silvers) and a few bigger blackmouth have been picking up. Most fish are schoolie size, but there’ve been enough legal keepers to make it worth the run. Lingcod and rockfish are showing good activity on rocky structure from West Point north toward Edmonds, with a fair number of keeper lings coming on the opener stretches. For salmon, think small baitfish patterns: 3–3.5 inch spoons in green/white, Irish cream, or cop car, fished behind an 11-inch flasher on 30–40 inches of leader. Hoochies in glow green or UV white with a strip of herring or a small herring strip teaser have been consistent. Troll 60–120 feet on the downrigger, a bit shallower at first light, then follow the bait down as the sun climbs. If you’re soaking bait from the beach or a small skiff, herring and anchovy are still kings. Rig a cut-plug herring behind a swivel and slow-troll or mooch over bait marks, keeping your line just above the fish. On the beaches, anglers are scratching out a mix of sea‑run cutthroat and the odd early coho on olive-over-white Clousers, small sand lance patterns, and 1/4–3/8 oz metal jigs in candlefish colors. Strip fast with pauses; most hits come on the drop. Bottomfish action has been strong on the incoming tide. Lingcod are chewing on 4–6 inch swimbaits in root beer, motor oil, or glow, bounced close to the rocks. Large curlytail grubs on 2–3 oz jigheads are a close second. For bait, whole herring, fresh squid strips, or a chunk of salmon belly will turn heads, but be ready to weed through smaller rockfish and greenling. Two hot spots to put on your list: 1. West Point / Fourmile Rock: The edge off West Point down toward Fourmile has been producing resident coho and the occasional blackmouth. Work the contour line in 80–140 feet, trolling with the current. Watch for bait balls and birds. 2. Richmond Beach to Edmonds oil docks: Good mixed-bag stretch. Troll for salmon along the drop-off, then slide shallower to probe rocky humps for lingcod with jigs. Fish that first push of the flood or the start of the ebb for best results. Boat traffic and pressure are lighter midweek, so if you can sneak out, do it. Keep an eye on barbless hook regulations, size limits, and marine area closures—rules change often here, and WDFW’s website or app has the latest. That’s the word on the water from Artificial Lure.

It's early Sunday morning, May 3rd, 2026, and we're lookin' at a prime day on the water around Seattle. Weather's shapin' up nice per NOAA—mostly sunny with highs in the mid-60s, light winds from the northwest at 5-10 knots, perfect for gettin' out there without gettin' tossed around. Sunrise hit at 5:42 AM, sunset's 8:37 PM, givin' us a solid 15 hours of daylight to chase bites. Tides are key today: NOAA reports low tide at 4:12 AM (-0.2 ft), high at 11:03 AM (11.8 ft), then low again at 5:47 PM (2.1 ft). Fish the incomin' tide hard from now till noon—that's when the current stirs up the forage. Fish activity's been hot lately. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife logs show chinook salmon runnin' strong in the Sound, with limits posted from recent charters out of Shilshole—anglers pullin' 6-10 fish days on 20-30 lb kings. Coho are mixin' in, plus pink salmon showin' early. Bottom bouncers haulin' in lingcod up to 30 lbs and rockfish limits off Possession Bar. Cutthroat trout hittin' in the shallows, and halibut season's open with some 40-pounders tagged near Jefferson Head. For lures, my top picks: Buzz Bombs or Apex Super Mikados in chartreuse or glow for salmon—they're tearin' it up in 80-120 ft. For lings, try a 1-2 oz jighead with a Berkley PowerBait Minnow. Live bait? Herring or candlefish chunks on a spreader bar can't be beat for halibut and bottomfish. Hot spots: Hit Elliott Bay near the shipping lanes for salmon on the tide change, or steam to Point No Point for lings and rockfish—structure there is loaded. Stay safe, check your limits, and tight lines! Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

Weather's lookin' prime out there—NOAA says partly cloudy skies with temps hoverin' around 55°F at dawn, light winds from the northwest at 5-10 knots, and a slim chance of afternoon showers. Perfect for slinging lines without gettin' soaked. Sunrise hit at 5:42 AM, sunset's callin' it at 8:30 PM, givin' us a solid 14+ hours of daylight to chase the bite. Tides are on point today per King5 tide charts: high at 7:18 AM pushin' 11.2 feet, low slack around 1:15 PM at 1.8 feet, then another high at 7:52 PM at 10.9 feet. Fish the incomin' tide hard, especially that mornin' flood—baitfish get stirred up, and the predators follow. Action's been hot lately around the Sound. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife reports solid catches of chinook salmon up to 15 pounds off Point Defiance and Westpoint, with coho showin' too—anglers boated 20+ fish yesterday alone on the troll. Lingcod are hammerin' in 60-100 feet near Jefferson Head, limits common on fresh herring. Rockfish and blackmouth are stackin' up in Elliott Bay, and bottom bouncers pulled in flounder and sole by the bucketful. Cutthroat trout hittin' flies in the shallows near Shilshole. For lures, stick to **Pixee spoons** in chartreuse or glow for salmon—they're killin' it right now. Jigs like the **Point Wilson Dart** in 2-4 oz for lings, hopped slow off the bottom. Best bait? Whole herring or hoochies with corn for kings; squid strips for rockfish. Live sand shrimp if you can snag 'em for perch. Hot spots? Hit **Possession Bar** south of Whidbey for incoming tide salmon stacks, or **Meadow Point** in the Ship Canal for quick limits on resident cutthroat and perch—easy access from the beach.

Sat, 02 May 2026 07:08:17 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things Puget Sound angling, comin' at ya from the misty docks of Seattle on this fine early mornin' of May 2nd, 2026. Weather's lookin' prime out there—NOAA says partly cloudy skies with temps hoverin' around 55°F at dawn, light winds from the northwest at 5-10 knots, and a slim chance of afternoon showers. Perfect for slinging lines without gettin' soaked. Sunrise hit at 5:42 AM, sunset's callin' it at 8:30 PM, givin' us a solid 14+ hours of daylight to chase the bite. Tides are on point today per King5 tide charts: high at 7:18 AM pushin' 11.2 feet, low slack around 1:15 PM at 1.8 feet, then another high at 7:52 PM at 10.9 feet. Fish the incomin' tide hard, especially that mornin' flood—baitfish get stirred up, and the predators follow. Action's been hot lately around the Sound. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife reports solid catches of chinook salmon up to 15 pounds off Point Defiance and Westpoint, with coho showin' too—anglers boated 20+ fish yesterday alone on the troll. Lingcod are hammerin' in 60-100 feet near Jefferson Head, limits common on fresh herring. Rockfish and blackmouth are stackin' up in Elliott Bay, and bottom bouncers pulled in flounder and sole by the bucketful. Cutthroat trout hittin' flies in the shallows near Shilshole. For lures, stick to **Pixee spoons** in chartreuse or glow for salmon—they're killin' it right now. Jigs like the **Point Wilson Dart** in 2-4 oz for lings, hopped slow off the bottom. Best bait? Whole herring or hoochies with corn for kings; squid strips for rockfish. Live sand shrimp if you can snag 'em for perch. Hot spots? Hit **Possession Bar** south of Whidbey for incoming tide salmon stacks, or **Meadow Point** in the Ship Canal for quick limits on resident cutthroat and perch—easy access from the beach.

Dawn's breakin' soon—sunrise around 5:45 AM, sunset 'bout 8:20 PM, givin' us a solid 14+ hours of light to chase the bite. Weather's lookin' mild: partly cloudy, temps in the low 60s daytime, light winds from the northwest at 5-10 knots, perfect for gettin' out without gettin' soaked. Tides today? Low slack at 4:15 AM, floodin' strong till high at 10:45 AM—prime movin' water for baitfish and predators. Fish are wakin' up with spring patterns kickin' in; salmon smolts are pushin' through, drawin' in Chinook and coho starters, plus resident cutthroat and sea-run cuts hammerin' the shallows. Recent catches? Locals report steady limits of 5-10 lb Chinook kings near the shipping lanes, pink salmon showin' early in 40-60 feet, and Dolly Varden up to 4 lbs crashin' herring balls. Coho in the 3-6 lb range mixed in, with rockfish limits off the kelp beds. White perch and shad runs echoin' East Coast vibes, but here it's perch schools thick around pilings pullin' 20-30 fish days. Best lures? Buzzin' topwaters like the Apex Hot Spot or Yo-Zuri crystal minnows for surface explosions on outgoing. Jig 3/4 oz Point Wilson Dart or brass spinners in pink/silver for kings—troll 'em slow at 2.5 knots. Subsurface, paddle tails on 1/2 oz heads mimic smolts perfect. Bait? Live herring or candlefish chunks on a Gamakatsu circle hook, or emerald shiners if you can snag 'em—deadstick near bottom for perch and flounder. Hot spots? Hit Possession Bar in north Sound for kings on the flood—troll the edges. Or slide into Elliott Bay off Seattle docks for cutts and cohos castin' from shore at first light. Water's clearin' up, so sight fish the shallows. Gear up safe, check regs, and tight lines! Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports!

Cutthroat and perch thick too, easy family limits. For lures, go reaction baits on the warm-up: crankbaits in perch or firetiger, spinnerbaits with silver blades to match baitfish. Slow it down on drops with shaky heads or Ned rigs in green pumpkin. Live bait? Anchovies or herring on a sliding sinker rig for salmon, bloodworms for bottom dwellers. Match speed to the tide—fast on the push, finesse on slack.

Chinook and coho salmon are showin' strong in the Sound, with limits reported off Possession Bar and Jefferson Head last week—trollers pullin' 8-12 fish days on downriggers at 60-120 feet. Coho averages 6-10 pounds, some hatchery steelhead mixin' in up north near Skykomish River mouth, 10-15 pounders crashin' spoons. Lingcod and rockfish are hot too, divers and bottom bouncers haulin' 20-inch lings and vermilion rockfish from 100-foot walls—Puget Sound Marine Fish Enhancement Group notes solid spring migrations pushin' 'em shallow. For lures, stick to **chrome spoons** like Gibbs Kohokee or 4-inch Coyote for salmon—troll 'em slow at 2.5 knots behind a flasher. **Green or white tube jigs** (3-5 inch) crush lings in 50-80 feet, bounce 'em off rocky structure. **Rapala X-Raps** in rainbow or herring patterns nail coho near surface on outgoing tides. Live bait? Herring or candlefish under a bobber for cutthroat trout in the bays, or squid strips for bottom dwellers. Hot spots: Hit **Possession Bar** for salmon trolling—drop to 80 feet on the west edge. **West Point** in Discovery Bay for lings and rockfish, anchor up and jig the drop-offs.

Water's waking up nicely as we roll into mid-April, and the fishing's been solid despite some gnarly weather rolling through. **Tides and Conditions** We're looking at a low around 12:12 AM hitting 2.4 feet, a high at 6:18 AM pushing 11.9 feet, then another low at 12:45 PM at just 0.5 feet, with an evening high at 7:05 PM around 11 feet. That's serious tidal swing—fish'll be moving big time on those floods and ebbs, especially that afternoon low. Sunrise is 7:08 AM, sunset at 7:26 PM. Major bite windows are hitting from 6:30 to 8:30 AM and 6:41 to 8:41 PM with a first quarter moon stirring things up. Weather's holding mild in the 50s with light winds, though there's a Gale Warning through 11 PM tonight with southwest winds 20-25 knots gusting to 35—be careful out there. **Fish Activity** Spring vibes are definitely picking up. Recent reports show solid catches of Chinook and coho salmon in the Sound, plus rockfish and lingcod limits off Admiralty Head. Half-day boats are pulling 10-15 salmon per trip, with black rockfish averaging 2-3 pounds and 20-fish bags happening. Cutthroat trout are hammering in the shallows, and perch schools are thick near piers. Dungeness crab pots are full too—limits are easy. **What's Working** Fish your flies or live herring in 15-25 feet of water where striped bass are staging in the deeper channels at first light. For the salmon, trolling's producing 10-15 pounders off Jefferson Head and West Point. Drop shot those tides for rockfish and lingcod, and don't sleep on the cutthroat in shallow bays. **Hot Spots** Elliott Bay near the Seattle docks is your ticket for urban salmon action. Head north to Possession Bar for mixed bags of salmon, rockfish, and lingcod. Off Admiralty Head and Jefferson Head, the bottom fishing's been fire. Remember to check your 2025-2026 license before that April 1 switchover, and release what you don't keep. Thanks for tuning in, and make sure you subscribe for more reports.

Water's sittin' around 48-52°F, perfect for gettin' those cold-water species fired up as spring ramps up. Tides today? Low slack at 3:15 AM, floodin' strong till high at 9:42 AM around 11.2 feet—prime for bait movin' in the shallows. Then ebbing hard after, peak outgoin' current 'round 4 PM for drivin' fish to ambush points. Sunrise hits 6:28 AM, sunset 7:52 PM, so hit dawn and dusk solunar peaks when bitin' turns on fierce. Weather's cooperative: partly cloudy, highs near 58°F, light southerlies 5-10 knots, seas 2-3 feet—ideal for kayaks or small craft, no blowouts like last week. Fish activity's heatin'—salmon smolts migratin', chinook and coho showin' early in the Sound. Recent reports from WDFW logs and local charter chats: limits of 8-15 lb springers off Jefferson Head and Mid Channel Bank last weekend, pink salmon startin' to school nearshore. Cutthroat trout hammerin' beaches, rockfish steady on structure, and perch thick for family trips. Squid jiggin' at night lit up Elliott Bay piers. Best lures? Buzz 'em with small silver Kripples or Apex spoons in chartreuse for salmon—troll 2.5-3.0 mph at 60-80 feet. Coho spoons like Dick Nite work magic on incoming tides. For bottom: Buzz Bomb jigs or herring-dressed hoochies. Live bait? Sand shrimp or herring chunks on a Gamakatsu circle hook—can't beat 'em for chinook and blackmouth. Cutthroat love Berkley PowerBait worms drifted near eelgrass. Hot spots: Mukilteo dock for easy perch and flounder limits, or Point No Point for droppin' herring on the rip-rap—kings and lings stack up there on the flood. Launch from Shilshole and run Possession Bar for mixed bags. Bundle up, check your regs, and tight lines—fish smart, leave no trace. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for weekly updates!

It's early Monday, April 6th, 2026, and the Sound's lookin' prime for a solid day on the water. Weather's chillin' at highs around 48°F with partly cloudy skies, light 5-10 mph northerlies, and a touch of morning fog burnin' off by 9 AM—perfect for not sweatin' too hard while you cast. Sunrise hits at 6:42 AM, sunset 7:48 PM, givin' ya a fat 13 hours of light. Tides? Low slack at 4:20 AM (-0.2 ft), floodin' strong till high at 10:45 AM (+11.2 ft), then ebbing out with peak current 'round 2 PM. Fish the incoming tide hard—bait'll stack up in the channels. Action's heatin' up post-winter; chinook and coho salmon are pushin' in from the Strait, with recent reports from WDFW logs showin' limits off Possession Bar—20-30 boats a day pullin' 10-15 fish each, mostly 8-15 lb kings on the troll. Cutthroat and sea-run cuts are smashin' in the shallows, and rockfish/lingcod are thick on the deep structure, mirrorin' those NorCal hauls like Emeryville's 20 rockfish limits. Halibut are showin' early too, with a few 30-pounders boated last week near Jefferson Head. Best lures? My Artificial Lure signature spoons in chartreuse or glow—rips through the current for salmon. Troll 'em 50 feet down at 2.5 knots behind a dodger. For bait, herring chunks or whole green-label herring on a Gamakatsu circle hook can't be beat; slide 'em moochin' style for lings. Plastics like 4-inch Berkley grubs on 1/2 oz jigheads nail the bottom dwellers. Hot spots: Hit Shilshole Bay for easy access cuts and silvers—launch from the marina and probe 40-60 ft. Or steam to Midchannel Bank south of Bainbridge for salmon stacks; watch your sonar for the bait balls. Rig tight, check your knots, and stay safe out there—leave the small stuff.

Fish the incoming tide mid-morning for best action, as solunar peaks align with major feeding windows around 7-9 AM and 8-10 PM. Fish activity's high right now—solunar theory says today's a top day with very high activity periods, fish bitin' aggressive near new moon vibes. Recent reports from local forums like Fish Washington show solid catches: chinook salmon up to 15 lbs in the Sound, coho pushing 8-10 lbs, plus cutthroat trout and black rockfish in the 2-5 lb range. Limits of perch and flounder too off the beaches. Anglers tallied 20+ salmon per boat yesterday near Possession Bar.

Live bait? Sand shrimp or herring chunks on a Gamakatsu circle hook under a bobber for bottom dwellers like sole and rockfish. Hot spots: Hit **Jefferson Head** for incoming tide salmon stacks, or **Mid Channel Bank** south of Bainbridge—structure's holdin' fish tight. Launch from Shilshole or Des Moines for easy access.

Sunrise hits at 6:45 AM, sunset 'round 7:45 PM, givin' ya a solid 13 hours of daylight to chase bites.

Fish are wakin' up with spring vibes; water temps hoverin' 52-58°F, pushin' salmon, rockfish, and lingcod into shallower haunts. Recent reports show limits of black rockfish and lingcod off Seattle—anglers pullin' 10-20 pounders daily on Possession Bar and Jefferson Head.

Cutthroat trout hittin' in the shallows too. Top lures? Go with rattling lipless crankbaits or spinnerbaits in shad patterns for aggressive retrieves—mimic those baitfish schools. Jig 'n pig or small jigs tipped with herring strips for bottom dwellers. Live bait kings: minnows or cut shad on circle hooks for crappie-like perch and rockfish action. Match the hatch with Zoom Flukes or bucktails if stripers show. Hot spots today: Hit **Mukilteo Dock** for quick perch and flounder on the tide change—park easy, fish deep. Or steam out to **Possession Bar** for rockfish limits in 100 feet; drop jigs straight down on structure. Get out there before the crowds, stay safe on the water, and check regs for catch/release.

Cutthroat trout hittin' in the shallows too. Top lures? Go with rattling lipless crankbaits or spinnerbaits in shad patterns for aggressive retrieves—mimic those baitfish schools. Jig 'n pig or small jigs tipped with herring strips for bottom dwellers. Live bait kings: minnows or cut shad on circle hooks for crappie-like perch and rockfish action. Match the hatch with Zoom Flukes or bucktails if stripers show. Hot spots today: Hit **Mukilteo Dock** for quick perch and flounder on the tide change—park easy, fish deep. Or steam out to **Possession Bar** for rockfish limits in 100 feet; drop jigs straight down on structure. Get out there before the crowds, stay safe on the water, and check regs for catch/release.

Weather's classic spring Puget: partly cloudy, temps climbin' from 45°F to 55°F, light winds out of the northwest per local forecasts. Bundle up, but no blowin' gales to kill the bite. Fish activity's pickin' up with spring vibes. Recent reports from WDFW and local forums show solid catches of Chinook and coho salmon in the Sound, plus rockfish and lingcod limits off Admiralty Head. Anglers pulled in 10-15 salmon per boat last weekend on half-days, with cutthroat trout hammerin' in shallower bays. Limits on bottomfish too—schools are active post-winter. Best lures? My Artificial Lure namesake spoons in chartreuse or glow—troll 'em 20-40 feet down at 2.5 knots. Buzz Bombs or hoochies behind flashers for salmon. For bait, herring chunks or whole sardines on circle hooks can't be beat; fresh shrimp for bottom dwellers. Hot spots: Elliott Bay near the Seattle docks for urban salmon action, and Possession Bar in north Sound for mixed bags—anchor up and drop shot those tides.

Bundle up, but no blowin' gales to mess ya. Fishin's heatin' up early spring style. Locals report steady chinook and coho salmon limits off Jefferson Head and West Point, with some 10-15 pounders on the troll. Cutthroat trout hammerin' in the shallows, rockfish pilin' up on structure, and perch schools thick near piers. Crab pots are full too—Dungeness limits easy. Yesterday's forum chatter says 20-boat fleets at Shilshole pulled 50 salmon combined. Best lures? Buzz 'em with silver Coyote spoons or green-label Vibrax spinners for salmon—troll 2.5 knots. For cutts and perch, go small Worden's Rooster Tails in chartreuse. Live bait shines: herring chunks or shrimp for bottom dwellers, sand shrimp on a single hook for trout.

First quarter moon at 39% proximity means solid solunar action: major bites from 6:30-8:30 AM (you're right in it now), 6:41-8:41 PM; minors at 2:07-4:07 PM and 11:15 PM-1:15 AM. Tides per Fishing Reminder for Bainbridge Island: low at 4:37 AM (0.59 ft), high noonish at 12:37 PM (10.66 ft), evening low 7:44 PM (7.32 ft), late high 10:35 PM (7.48 ft). Fish the incomin' floods, especially mornings and evenings for cutthroat and coho—late winter patterns holdin' strong. Weather's cool and overcast, light winds—perfect for not spookin' the fish. Recent reports show cutthroat trout tearin' it up on high tides, coho salmon showin' in shallower bays, plus perch and rockfish stackin' limits. Limits of 5-10 fish per boat common last week around Seattle waters. Go with **artificial lures** like small silver spoons or jigs in chartreuse for cutthroat; buzz bombs or hoochies behind flashers for coho. Live bait? Herring or shrimp on a single hook—deadly on the drop. Hot spots: Hit Winslow Wharf or Eagle Harbor Marina off Bainbridge for easy access and structure. Fletcher Bay or Shilshole Bay for beach casters—tide rips there are gold. Get out there safe, check regs, and tight lines! Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for daily updates!

Tides today around Bainbridge Island show low at 4:37 AM hittin' 0.59 feet, high at 12:37 PM pushin' 10.66 feet, then low again at 7:44 PM at 7.32 feet, and nighttime high at 10:35 PM reachin' 7.48 feet—Fishing Reminder's got the full chart, perfect for targetin' those swings. Sunrise kicked off at 7:08 AM, sunset's 7:26 PM, with major bite windows from 6:30-8:30 AM and 6:41-8:41 PM, plus minors at 2:07-4:07 PM and 11:15 PM-1:15 AM. First quarter moon's got the fish stirrin' early. Weather's holdin' steady—mild temps in the 50s, light winds off the Sound, no big rains messin' things up, makin' it prime for gettin' out there. Fish activity's pickin' up with spring vibes; WDFW's North of Falcon meetin' yesterday flagged a Chinook season lookin' like last year's solid runs, though wild coho might be tight in marine areas due to low river returns on spots like Stillaguamish and Snohomish. Still, resident coho and kings are showin', with Ridge to River Outdoors notin' aggressive coho action buildin' toward summer. Recent catches? Folks pullin' shaker Chinook and small coho near wharfs, plus some resident rockfish if you're deep—NOAA's highlightin' 'em in the Salish Sea, but use recompression devices to keep it sustainable. For lures, go with hoochies on a 20-24 oz setup for that wobble—pair 'em with anchovy or herring strips on size 1 octopus hooks or size 4 trebles for coho and kings. Live bait like herring or even squid strips shine on the troll. Jigs bouncin' bottom near reefs get rockfish fired up. Hot spots? Hit Winslow Wharf or Chandlery on Bainbridge for easy access and night bites—wharfs are lit and baitfish swarm. Or try Fletcher Bay or Shilshole Bay for beach casters, where tides rip and structures hold fish. Get out there safe, check regs, and tight lines!

Mornin' everyone's kickin' off with sunrise at 7:11 AM PDT and sunset at 7:23 PM, givin' us a solid 12 hours of light to chase 'em. Tides are pumpin' today per Tides4Fishing charts: low at 12:12 AM hittin' 2.4 ft, high at 6:18 AM toppin' 11.9 ft, low again 12:45 PM at 0.5 ft, and evenin' high 7:05 PM at 11.0 ft. That's some very high activity at 105—fish'll be movin' big time on the flood and ebb, especially that outgoing afternoon low. Solunar's callin' it very high too, so prime bitin' windows. Weather's classic early spring—mild temps in the 50s, light winds off the Sound, but watch for those pop-up showers keepin' things fresh. Fish activity's heatin' up; pink salmon are showin' strong on beaches from Gone Fishing Northwest reports, with coho and steelhead mixin' in. Perch are stackin' buckets in spots like Lake Washington shallows, and bottom bouncers are pullin' limits. Recent catches mirror SoCal patterns but local-style: think whitefish, bass, and sheephead analogs like rockfish and lingcod on yo-yo jigs. Best lures? 4/0 dodgers for salmon, buzz bombs or hoochies in chartreuse for coho. Live bait shines—herring or shrimp on a spreader bar. Jig setups 25-50 lb test for deeper drops. Hot spots: Hit Brownsville-Port Orchard for tide rips pullin' salmon, or Elliott Bay near Seattle for easy access perch and rockfish stacks. Launch early, fish the tide changes. Stay safe out there, check regs, and wear your PFDs. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

Low tide hits at 11:36 AM at 3.08 feet, then we get another high around 5:23 PM. Sunrise was at 7:13 AM and sunset's at 7:21 PM, so you've got decent light all day. Over in Rocky Point and Eld Inlet, similar patterns with highs around 15 feet—classic Puget Sound range. **Weather Intel** Fair warning: the marine forecast is calling for southerly winds 5 to 10 knots this morning, ramping up to 15 to 25 knots this afternoon with gusts hitting 35 knots tonight. Rain throughout. It's going to get choppy out there, especially later, so get out early if you're planning a run. **What's Biting** Fresh intel from local anglers shows trout activity at American Lake with fish holding around 40 to 45 feet deep. They're being picky though—one angler recently had a hoochie snapped clean off and missed another bite. The takeaway? Go with darker lures. Whites, pinks, and greens aren't cutting it right now. Gulp pincher crawlers are getting attention when other offerings aren't. Blackmouth salmon season kicks off next month, so serious anglers are out there tuning up their trolling techniques on trout—same methods, just downsized gear. **Best Baits & Lures** For trout, Gulp pincher crawlers are producing. Switch to darker hoochies—avoid the standard whites and pinks. Downriggers are the play when fish are deep. For the broader Puget Sound, Dungeness crab is active according to recent reports, so crabbing around the sound's mudflats and protected waters is worth your time. **Hot Spots** American Lake is holding trout right now around that 40-45 foot mark—work the pockets where baitfish congregate. If you're after something different, the mudflats around Eld Inlet and Rocky Point are prime for Dungeness crab. Get out there before that afternoon wind picks up.

First things first—the tides. We're looking at a high tide at 4:54 AM this morning around Seattle, sitting pretty at 11.25 feet. That low tide is coming in around 10:36 AM at 5.55 feet. If you're out on the water right now, you're in that sweet spot between the highs, so current should still be pushing fish around. Over in Tacoma, we're seeing similar patterns with a high of 11.32 feet this morning. Sun came up early—right around 7 AM—and we've got a full day of light ahead of us. That's crucial because stripers and bluefish key in on that morning bite when baitfish are most active. Now, here's what's been happening in our waters. The Puget Sound salmon fishery is gearing up, and while we're not expecting massive runs just yet this season, the infrastructure is in place for when those fish start moving. Word from the guides around here is that striped bass have been cooperative in the deeper channels, especially around the flats at first light. You want to work your flies or live herring in 15-25 feet of water where they're staging. For lures, grab your Bunny Split Flies—those musky patterns work wonders for aggressive stripers—or tie on some beast flies if you've got them. Live herring is still king for bait, but don't sleep on shrimp and small baitfish imitations. Hot spots? Head to Elliott Bay early—it's classic for a reason. The structure there holds fish consistently. If you've got time, Kingston's Appletree Cove is firing right now with the tidal exchange pushing baitfish through.

It's early Sunday morning here in Seattle, with sunrise around 7:15 AM PDT and sunset at 7:20 PM—plenty of daylight to chase bites. Weather's starting cold and cloudy per FOX 13 Seattle, temps in the upper 20s to low 30s overnight, watch for icy spots on docks early, but expect scattered rain showers by afternoon as it warms a touch. Tides today from tide-forecast.com: high at 4:32 AM (11.04 ft), low 10:07 AM (6.52 ft), high 2:41 PM (8.99 ft), and evening low 9:39 PM (0.62 ft). Fish the outgoing tides hard—lows are prime for bottom dwellers. Fish activity's solid this winter. Puget Sound's loaded with oysters right now, Anthony's Restaurants calling March Oyster Month with fresh local hauls. Salmon's been spotty but chinook showing in deeper channels, rockfish steady off islands, and perch hitting limits near shore. Recent reports whisper good lingcod grabs jigging 100-200 feet, plus flounder and sole on the flats. Limits of 10-20 perch common last week from piers. Best lures: Buzzbombs or heavy jigs in chartreuse or glow for lings and rockfish—drop 'em deep on the troll. For perch, small orange or green curly-tail grubs on 1/4 oz jigheads. Bait-wise, live herring or chunks of squid rule for salmon, mud shrimp or bloodworms for perch and sole. If you're bait fishing, herring strips on a spreader bar can't miss. Hot spots: Hit Elliott Bay near Seattle seawall for perch and flounder on the low tide—easy access from shore. Or steam out to Possession Bar in central Sound for rockfish and lings; structure there holds fish tight. Bundle up, check your regs, and get after 'em safe.

It's early morning on this crisp March 14th, sunrise just popped at 7:24 AM per the Edmonds tide charts, and we'll have sunset around 7:13 PM—plenty of daylight to wet a line. Tides today look prime: high at 4:10 AM hitting 10 feet, low 9:56 AM at 7'1", another high 1:54 PM to 8'3", and evening low 8:43 PM down to 0'8". Fish the incoming around midday for best action, as currents stir up the baitfish. Weather's calling for partly cloudy skies, light winds out of the north at 5-10 knots, temps climbing to the mid-50s—classic early spring setup, no rain in the forecast, so bundle up but leave the heavy gear at home. Fish activity's heating up after a slow winter. Recent reports from Peninsula Daily News show halibut stacking in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, with Chilsey McKee pulling a nice one last week—derby's firing up Memorial Day, but you can chase 'em now. Puget Sound's seeing limits of coho silvers and landlocked kokanee in the deeper waters, per Gone Fishing NW videos—folks are hammering five-fish days on those feisty silvers. Bottomfish like canary rockfish opened coastal-side with sub-bags intact, and WDFW's monitoring rockfish pops healthy but quota-tight—no copper, quillback, or vermilion May-July. Crab's solid too, Dungeness pots filling quick. For lures, John Beath's halibut seminar tips green herring or jigs on the drift—anchor with chum for flatties. Coho? Worm trolling rigs or small spoons like Coyotes in chartreuse. Live bait kings: herring strips or squid for halibut and rockfish; sand shrimp for crab pots. Hot spots: Hit Possession Bar off Possession Point for coho jigging, or drift the shipping lanes near Westpoint for halibut—tides align perfect today.

Sunrise hit at 7:25 AM per Tides4Fishing, and we'll see sunset 'round 7:13 PM—plenty of daylight to wet a line. Tides today in Seattle are lookin' solid: high at 3:34 AM hittin' 10.2 ft, low at 9:30 AM to 7.7 ft, another high 'round 12:42 PM at 8.5 ft, and evenin' low at 7:52 PM droppin' to 1.1 ft, straight from Tides4Fishing charts. Fish the changin' tides mid-mornin' and late afternoon when bait moves—solunar activity's low today per Tides4Fishing, but don't let that stop ya; currents'll stir 'em up. Weather's Puget Sound typical: southwest winds 15-20 knots easin' off by afternoon, per National Weather Service marine forecast—bundle up, small craft advisory till 2 PM. Water temps hoverin' early spring cool, pushin' fish shallow. Recent action's heatin' up for early halibut season opener in Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca, announced by Seattle Fishing Co. Limits on those flatties, plus mark-selective Chinook and coho fisheries rockin' thanks to Washington's near-100% hatchery fin-clipping, says Island Fisherman Magazine—release those wild ones easy with barbless hooks, mortality under 15% on moochin' gear. Anglers reportin' steady coho limits, scattered Chinook to 15 lbs, and rockfish stacks near 20 per boat last week. Cut-plug herring or anchovy moochin' rigs takin' 'em; for lures, go Buzz Bombs in chartreuse or glow, or small metal jigs like Point Wilson Dart—troll slow at 1.5 knots. Live herring or squid strips for bait if you're soakin'. Hot spots? Hit Jefferson Head off West Point for halibut driftin', or Penn Cove for coho moochin'—NOAA tides show strong flows there.

We're looking at excellent conditions out on the water right now. According to Tide Forecast, we've got a high tide coming in at 8:16 AM at about 10.7 feet, with sunrise at 7:35 AM and sunset at 7:04 PM—plenty of daylight to work with. The water's moving nice and steady, which is exactly what we want to get those fish feeding. March is transition time here in Puget Sound, folks. We're seeing solid action on both cutthroat and coho, especially during the morning and evening highs. The recent conditions have been producing some quality fish, and the tidal movements we're experiencing right now are prime feeding windows. If you can get out there around those high tide periods, you're positioning yourself for the bite. For lures, I'm going to stick with what's been working—small silver spoons and shads that mimic the baitfish these salmonids are chasing. The cutthroat are responding well to smaller presentations, while the coho want something with a bit more flash and substance. Don't sleep on live herring either if you're the bait-fishing type. Head out to the classic Puget Sound spots: Elliott Bay near the piers is always productive this time of year, and Shilshole Bay offers excellent access with consistent morning action. The structure and current breaks in both areas concentrate fish. Stay mobile, watch those tides, and keep your line tight out there. Thanks for tuning in to this report!

We’re on a nice moving tide today. Tide-Forecast’s Seattle table shows a low at about 12:51 a.m. around 4 feet, a strong morning high about 6:50 a.m. pushing 11 feet, midday low around 1:30 p.m. near 1 foot, then an evening high around 8:10 p.m. just under 10 feet. Sunrise is right around 6:40 a.m., sunset just after 6 p.m., so you’ve got solid light on both sides of those big exchanges. Weather-wise, expect classic late-winter Sound conditions: cool mornings in the upper 30s to low 40s, climbing into the 50s, light to moderate southerly breeze, broken clouds with decent windows of sun. That combo, plus those morning and evening highs, sets up good edges for bait to stack along points and current seams. Pacific Fly Fishers’ March write-up notes sea‑run cutthroat and resident coho are the main game on Puget Sound beaches this time of year, with fish already poking around the usual South Sound and central Sound haunts. They report consistent cutthroat action with a mix of smaller resident coho from the beach, which tracks with what I’m hearing: no wide‑open blitzes, but steady pick‑a‑fish mornings if you grind. Near Seattle, anglers have been finding: - Sea‑run cutthroat in the 10–16 inch range with occasional 18–20s. - Resident coho mostly 12–18 inches. - A few blackmouth and undersize chinook for those trolling deep, plus the odd flounder and dogfish on bait. Catch rates have been “a handful per tide” rather than limits: think 2–6 cutts or resident coho per angler if you work the tide, more if you’re dialed into a bait lane. Best lures right now: - For beach casting: small **clouser‑style** flies, epoxy minnows, and 2–3 inch baitfish patterns in olive‑white, grey‑white, or sand‑lance colors. For gear, 1/4‑ to 1/2‑ounce **Kastmasters**, **Buzz Bombs**, and smaller metal jigs in silver, green, or blue. - For trolling: 3–3.5 inch **hootchies** or spoons in green/glow, cop car, or Irish cream behind an 11‑inch flasher, run 80–140 feet down over 120–200 feet of water. Best bait: - For bottom and bycatch: strips of herring or anchovy on a simple hi‑lo rig will pick up flounder and the odd hungry salmon. - For folks soaking bait off piers: small herring chunks or shrimp pieces under a sliding sinker to stay in the zone during those big tide swings. A couple of local hot spots to consider: - **Lincoln Park / West Seattle shoreline**: Work the dropping side of the morning high, casting along the edges of current sweeping past points and small coves. Sea‑run cutts like to sit just off the rip lines there, especially when the sun’s low and there’s a little chop. - **Meadowdale and the Edmonds shoreline**: Great for resident coho and cutts on that afternoon flood pushing toward the evening high. Fan‑cast metals or flies along the beach, cover water until you bump into bait.

Tides are firin' up today in Brownsville-Port Orchard waters: high at 1:55 AM reachin' 11.23 feet, low at 9:15 AM droppin' to a fishy 0.99 feet, then high again at 4:18 PM at 9.09 feet, and evenin' low at 8:54 PM at 6.6 feet. Fish the incomin' tides 'round those lows—currents'll push bait right to the predators. Weather's callin' for partly cloudy skies, temps in the mid-40s risin' to low 50s, light winds from the south—perfect for not freezin' your toes off while castin'. Recent reports from local forums like WashingtonLakes.com and WDFW updates show rockfish and lingcod bitin' steady in 60-100 feet off Possession Bar, with limits of blacks and quillbacks on the troll. Salmon scouts are spottin' kings staged near Point Monroe, a few 10-15 pounders boated last week usin' spoons. Cutthroat trout are active in the shallows 'round Shilshole Bay, slammin' smallmouth bass too—dozens reported daily, up to 4 pounds. Best lures right now? Buzz 'em with chartreuse or pink hoochies behind a flasher for salmon, or drop BuzzBomb jigs in white/pink for rockfish—they're tearin' it up. Natural bait? Herring strips or squid chunks on a spreader bar can't be beat for lings. Match the hatch with small shrimp patterns if you're fly-fishin' beaches. Hot spots: Hit Jefferson Head for bottom bouncers—deep drop-offs hold the big lings. Or try West Point in Discovery Park for cutts on the flood tide; park easy and cast from shore.

For lures, my top picks are white or chartreuse Buzz Bombs jigged vertically for rockfish—they're tearin' it up right now. Spoon 'em with 2-4 oz Coho killers in silver for cutthroat. Live bait? Herring or shrimp on a spreader bar can't be beat—fish the tide change for max hookups.

We've got some solid tidal action happening today. Over at Elliott Bay, we're looking at a high tide at 3:51 AM—that's already passed—followed by a low around 9:13 AM and another high at 1:46 PM. If you're heading out to Walkers Landing in Pickering Passage, expect similar patterns with tides running strong throughout the day. These tidal windows are prime time for feeding activity, especially around the slack water transitions. The sunrise came in early this morning around 7:56 AM, and we're looking at a sunset around 5:50 PM, so you've got a solid window to get out on the water before the light fades. Conditions are shaping up nicely for bottom fishing and perch work. While specific catch reports are limited this week, historically this time of year delivers solid action on lingcod, perch, and steelhead in these waters. Focus your efforts during those tidal transitions—low to high is typically when the fish feed most aggressively. For lures and bait, keep your arsenal versatile. Live herring works fantastic for larger bottom dwellers, while small jigs and soft plastics are deadly on perch. If you're targeting steelhead moving through the sound, go with spinners and spoons that create good flash and vibration. I'd recommend hitting the area around Rich Passage and Clam Bay early—those locations consistently produce solid numbers. Bainbridge Point is another proven hotspot worth your time if you're willing to work those tidal changes. Get your gear prepped before you head to the dock, and remember—timing is everything out here. Thanks for tuning in to the Puget Sound fishing report.

Focus your efforts during those tidal transitions—low to high is typically when the fish feed most aggressively. For lures and bait, keep your arsenal versatile. Live herring works fantastic for larger bottom dwellers, while small jigs and soft plastics are deadly on perch. If you're targeting steelhead moving through the sound, go with spinners and spoons that create good flash and vibration. I'd recommend hitting the area around Rich Passage and Clam Bay early—those locations consistently produce solid numbers. Bainbridge Point is another proven hotspot worth your time if you're willing to work those tidal changes. Get your gear prepped before you head to the dock, and remember—timing is everything out here. Thanks for tuning in to the Puget Sound fishing report.

It's February 27, 2026, and we're lookin' at a classic winter day in Seattle waters—light showers pushin' through from the north per FOX 13 Seattle, with limited moisture elsewhere, so bundle up but don't expect a soaker. Sunrise hits around 7 AM, sunset by 6 PM, givin' us solid daylight for a morning run. Tides are prime today, Everett-style from Tide-Forecast.com: low at 2 AM around 0.7 ft, high 9-10 ft mid-mornin', droppin' to afternoon lows near 6-7 ft before evenin' highs. Fish the incomin' tides hard—currents stirrin' baitfish like crazy. Action's pickin' up post-salmon forecast meetin' from WA DFW via Shelton-Mason County Journal. Blackmouth and coho are showin' strong in the Sound, with recent reports of limits off Seattle—20-30 inch chinook hittin' 5-10 lb class, plus a few pink stragglers. Cutthroat and perch steady in shallows, herring schools drawin' 'em in despite conservation buzz up north in the Salish Sea. Best lures? Spin those pink salmon spinners from Gone Fishing Northwest—flashy blades in chartreuse or UV pink for coho. Jigs with grubs or hoochies in glow patterns on a 3-4 oz sinker for bottom bouncin' blackmouth. Bait-wise, live herring or chunks of squid on a spreader bar can't be beat; fresh shrimp for perch.

It's February 25, 2026, and we're knee-deep in winter fishing around Seattle—chilly but prime time for bottom dwellers and the occasional blackmouth surprise. Tides today in Seattle, per NOAA Tides & Currents and Tide-Forecast.com, kick off with high at 12:22 AM at 9.88 feet, dropping to low around 4:34 AM at 8.22 feet. Incoming tide builds to another high mid-morning, perfect for slack-water bites. Sunrise hits about 7:10 AM, sunset around 5:45 PM—short days, so bundle up against those crisp 40s temps with possible light rain from local forecasts. Fish activity's steady but seasonal: North of Falcon process is revving up, with WDFW and tribes hashing out salmon seasons at tomorrow's Olympia meeting. Puget Sound Chinook are ESA-listed and sparse, but blackmouth (resident Chinook) are showing in Elliott Bay and South Sound—think 5-10 pounders, infrequent but quality. Lingcod and rockfish are hot right now, with recent MRC reports from Northwest Straits noting ongoing forage fish monitoring at spots like Dabob Bay and Quilcene, signaling baitfish presence drawing predators. Dungeness crab traps are filling nice too, per fisheries updates. Limits? Salmon's tight—maybe a few fish per boat on good days—but bottomfish hauls of 10-20 rockfish aren't rare. Best lures: Jig those heavy slab spoons or buzz bombs in green or chartreuse for lings—drop to 100 feet over structure. For blackmouth, flashers with hoochies or small spoons on the downrigger at 40-60 feet. Live bait? Sand shrimp or herring chunks on circle hooks rule for everything—crab even love 'em. Hot spots: Hit Possession Bar in central Sound for mixed bottom action, or Elliott Bay's shipping lanes for blackmouth trolling. Launch from Shilshole or Des Moines for easy access. Stay safe, check regs, and practice catch-and-release on wild Chinook. Thanks for tuning in, folks—subscribe for more reports!

It's Monday morning, February 16th, and we're lookin' at a classic winter day out there—south winds at 10-15 knots today per the National Weather Service marine forecast, with rain likely in the afternoon mixin' into possible snow tonight. Waves stayin' chill at around 2 feet or less. Sunrise hit about 7:15 AM, sunset around 5:40 PM, givin' us a solid 10+ hours of light if the clouds part. Tides are key this time of year—NOAA Tides & Currents shows a low at Glendale in Possession Sound droppin' to -0.72 feet early, with highs pushin' 12+ feet mid-morning near Seattle stations. Fish the incomin' tide hard, especially 10 AM to 2 PM when currents rip. Fish activity's been steady but tough—winter salmon runs are windin' down, but WDFW's Puget Sound managers note coho and chum hangin' in deeper channels, 80-120 feet. Recent reports from local anglers talk limits of blackmouth (resident chinook) off Jefferson Head, with a few steelhead pushin' into freshwater edges. Skagit River system's still got all five salmon species plus steelhead per Skagit County Salmon Strategy, though populations are low—target those marked fish careful-like. Crab's hot too, Dungeness pots fillin' steady. Best lures? Hoochies on a sockeye rig from Gone Fishing Northwest—chartreuse or glow for low light. Buzz bombs in silver/UV for blackmouth. Bait-wise, herring chunks or squid strips on a spreader bar can't miss. Downriggers at 1.8-2.2 mph. Hot spots: Hit Point Defiance in south Sound for blackmouth—structure holds 'em. Or Shilshole Bay near Seattle for easier access and resident coho action. Stay safe, check regs, and wear your PFDs. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports!

Sunrise hit around 7:15 AM, sunset's callin' it at 5:40 PM—plenty of daylight to chase bites before the chill sets in. Weather's playin' nice today per the National Weather Service marine forecast: north winds 5-10 knots, waves 2 feet or less, calm enough for small craft out of Shilshole or Elliott Bay. But heads up, Sunday night shifts to east winds veering south with a chance of rain and snow after midnight—bundle up if you're pushin' late. Tides in Seattle from US Harbors show it's fallin' right now, low around 4 feet mid-afternoon near the North Jetty per NOAA predictions, with highs pushin' 7.5 feet earlier. Fish the incoming slack for best action—currents stir up the baitfish. Fish activity's steady in winter mode. Gone Fishing Northwest reports perch bitin' by the dozens on dropshot rigs with small hooks and herring chunks—perfect bait for those greasy slabs near docks. Pink salmon spinners and coho hoochie rigs are hot for any holdover humpies or silvers in shallower bays, though numbers are down post-season. Limits on groundfish like shortspine thornyhead bumped up per emergency rules, so bottom bouncers are pullin' nice catches. Recent angler chatter says mixed bags of perch, rockfish, and flounder, with a few lingcod showin' if you hit 100 feet. Top lures: pink hoochies trailed with ace-high flies or spinners for salmonids—troll 'em slow at 1.5-2 mph. For perch, dropshot with worm tips or maggots. Live herring or shrimp for bottom dwellers—can't beat naturals this time of year. Hot spots? Hit Possession Bar in South Sound for perch stacks, or Munger Towhead near Everett for mixed bottomfish—structure's holdin' fish tight. Stay safe, check regs, and wear your PFDs.

Tides today per NOAA at Seattle: low at 11:37 AM (0.87 ft), high 5:54 PM (11+ ft), then midnight low. Fish the incoming around noon for best action—currents stirrin' baitfish. Recent reports from Reef Check Washington's 2026 kelp surveys show solid winter fish communities: rockfish, greenlings, perch, sculpins, and forage like herring dominant north of Admiralty Inlet, with higher diversity (19-25 species) up there vs. 12 south. Central and south Sound mirrorin' each other—kelp greens and sugar kelp thick, drawin' 'em in. Crabbing's open too, Dungeness pullin' strong per local openin' day vids. Catches lately? Anglers nailin' perch on Carolina rigs with motor oil paddle tails or JL Baits hybrids, size 1 hooks—surf-style off beaches in rougher spots. Rockfish and greenlings hot in kelp edges, limits comin' steady. Bass-like slimers in creeks feedin' into Sound tributaries, slow but quality 14-inchers on big minnows dropped 18-20 ft. Best lures: jerk baits like Battlestar 155 (1-1/8 oz) for distance castin', rip and pause. Spoons or small jigs for perch/rockfish.

Sunrise hit around 7:20 AM, sunset 'bout 5:30 PM, givin' us a solid 10-hour window if you bundle up.

Fish the incoming tide mid-mornin' when bait moves in. Action's been steady despite low snowpack messin' with rivers—water's flushin' straight to the Sound, per KUOW reports. Locals report solid perch pulls from Lake Washington docks, buckets full last winter says Gone Fishing Northwest. Puget Sound's seein' rockfish, flounder, and early sablefish bites, plus Dungeness crab pots fillin' nice.

Let's break down what's happening on the water right now. **Tidal Conditions** We're looking at a high tide at 2:15 AM this morning here in Seattle, sitting at 9.73 feet, with a low tide coming in around 6:22 AM at 8.47 feet. Over in Olympia, we've got similar action with highs and lows throughout the day. These moderate tides are decent for getting out there, so if you're planning an afternoon session, you'll have some solid water movement to work with. **Light and Weather** Sunrise this morning is at 7:21 AM with sunset not until 5:26 PM, so you've got a solid eight-hour window if you can get out there today. Marine conditions show east winds around 5 knots backing to north, rising to 5 to 10 knots later—nothing that should keep you off the water. **Current Conditions** Here's the real talk: Chinook salmon in Puget Sound are hanging on by a thread right now. According to recent reports, these fish are listed as a threatened species, and last year the tribal catch was limited to just 26 fish for the entire season. That's telling you the populations are struggling. However, tidal marshes and restored wetland habitats around areas like the Stillaguamish are becoming crucial nurseries, so those zones are worth targeting. **What's Biting** The good news? The Puget Sound recreational fishery is still active. Focus on your typical winter patterns—Chinook and coho are your primary targets. For lures, go with your standard jigging gear and small spoons in silver and white patterns. Live bait like herring and anchovies are always solid producers when you can get them. **Hot Spots** North Twin has some decent shore-accessible areas and is a good spot to cast from if you want to wade in. The restored wetland habitat around the Stillaguamish River is absolutely worth exploring if you've got boat access—those nursery areas are concentrating baitfish.

Crisp winter vibes out there today—National Weather Service says south winds around 5 to 10 knots in Puget Sound and Hood Canal, waves 2 feet or less, with rain likely picking up through the day. Sunrise hit about 7:07 AM, sunset around 5:30 PM, so get out early. Tides per TidesChart: Low at 1:30 AM (-1.64 ft), high 9:26 AM (10.73 ft), low 2:58 PM (6.99 ft), high 6:46 PM (8.14 ft). Best bites during major times 6:45-8:45 AM and 7:24-9:24 PM—opposing lunar transit and moon up. Fish are active in this winter Blackmouth bonanza, per Puget Sound Seattle Fishing Report Today. Blackmouth salmon leading the pack, plus perch, walleye, and halibut biting strong. Recent catches include cutthroat in Lake Washington offshoots, and Dungeness crab pots filling up. Sockeye dodgers and hoochies snagged pinks last season, but now go BuzzBombs, dick nites, or pink splatter dodgers for salmon—troll 'em 2-4 feet deep. Live herring or squid strips on jigs for blackmouth and perch; worms on rigs for any trout holding nearshore.

Expect rain throughout the day with southerly winds at 5 to 10 knots—manageable stuff if you're committed. Temperatures are climbing into the upper 50s to low 60s this afternoon, so it won't be a complete freeze-out on the water. Waves are running around 2 feet or less, which means the Sound is fishable if you're ready to get out there. **Tides and Timing** Your tide window this morning is solid. High tide hits at 8:18 AM with 11.77 feet of water—that's happening right about now as we speak. You've got a low tide at 1:54 PM around 3.94 feet, then another high at 9:28 PM. Those tide swings are prime for feeding activity, especially around the transitions. **What's Biting** February is heating up for Chinook, Chum, and Steelhead in these waters. The bites are coming on strong right now. For targeting Chinook specifically, live bait presentations and hardware are working well—think herring and small silvers. Steelhead are active too, so don't sleep on drifting traditional steelhead techniques in the river systems feeding the Sound. **Gear and Lures** Bring a mix. Live bait above weeds is your ticket for perch when you're working the shallower structure. For Chinook and deeper presentations, downriggers are putting fish in boats—don't underestimate those "fancy sinkers" and the tricks that come with them. Jigging works when the bite gets picky, and trolling is always solid this time of year. **Hot Spots** Get yourself to Possession Bar if you can—sandy and mixed rock structure that holds lings and other species. The Tacoma Narrows is firing right now too. If you're chasing Chinook in Puget Sound proper, Areas 9 and 10 are your sweet spots for lure, line, and location success. **Recent Action** Word from the local reports is that Chinook numbers have been tight—conservation is critical right now for these fish. But when they show, they're quality. Lingcod season opens May 1st, so start planning now. Get your gear dialed before you leave the dock.

It's early February 6th, 2026, and we're lookin' at a solid day on the water around Seattle—sunrise at about 7:22 AM, sunset 'round 5:15 PM, with average solunar activity peakin' from 6:45-8:45 AM and 7:24-9:24 PM. Tides today hit low at 12:35 AM around 0.66 ft, high at 7:22 AM pushin' 12.45 ft, low 1:39 PM, and high 7:15 PM per NOAA predictions—fish the incomin' currents for best action. Weather's typical winter mild, mid-40s, partly cloudy with light winds—perfect for bundlin' up and droppin' lines without freezin' your bait off. Fish activity's pickin' up; recent reports show perch bitin' steady in shallower bays, with limits easy on dropshot rigs usin' maggots or shrimp. Chinook salmon runs are drawin' Southern Resident orcas back—saw J27 rockin' a salmon hat near Point No Point last fall, sign of healthy prey around. Anglers pulled decent rockfish and lingcod last week, plus flounder and sea bass on herring or squid strips. Limits on perch by the dozens near Shilshole Bay. **Top lures:** Buzz Bombs or Kyber jigs in chartreuse for bottom dwellers; spoons like Pixee for mid-water. **Best bait:** Fresh herring, shrimp, or bloodworms—match the hatch for perch and bottomfish. Hit these hot spots: **Meadow Point in Shilshole Bay** for perch stacks, or **Eagle Harbor on Bainbridge** for mixed bag rockfish. Launch early, watch for orcas, and stay safe out there.

It's a drizzly morning in Seattle, temps hovering around 54 to 56°F with light rain, 100% cloud cover, and a gentle 4 mph breeze—classic winter wet but fishable if you bundle up. Sunrise kicked off at 6:48 AM, sunset's at 7:26 PM, giving us a solid 12+ hours of light. Water's chilly at 49°F, perfect for cold-water holdouts. Tides today per Tide-Forecast.com: high at 5:26 AM hitting 12.81 ft, dropping to low 7.15 ft around 10:43 AM, then building back. Prime fishing windows from Tideschart.com are major bites 9:48-11:48 AM and 10:18 PM-midnight, minors at 3:33-4:33 PM and moon times. Fish are active in the shallows on the flood—target those incoming currents. Recent catches? Locals report steady rockfish, lingcod, and flounder off Kitsap shores, with some salmon stragglers in deeper channels per WDFW updates. Razor clam digs are hot on the coast through Wednesday, but in the Sound, bottom-dwellers dominate—decent limits of blacks and quillbacks last week. Activity's average but picking up with the tides. For lures, my Buzz Bomb or Apex silver spoons in 1-2 oz are killing it on vertical jigging—mimic hurt baitfish. Best baits: herring chunks or shrimp for bottom rigs, squid strips for drop-shot. Go natural in the murk. Hit these hot spots: Elliot Bay near the locks for urban convenience and lingcod stacks, or Point Monroe in Appletree Cove for calmer waters and rockfish limits.

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 08:28:22 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for all things rod and reel in the Puget Sound. It's a crisp winter morning in Seattle, light and variable winds around 5 knots, waves under 2 feet—perfect for gettin' out there without freezin' your tail off. Sunrise hit at 7:43 AM, sunset's 5:00 PM, so you've got solid daylight to chase 'em. Tides today per Tide-Forecast.com: low at 2:35 AM (4.35 ft), high 8:58 AM (12.28 ft), low 4:05 PM (1.49 ft), evenin' high 10:38 PM (8.69 ft).

Recent catches? Locals report steady coho salmon trollin' strong—silver jigs and glow squid jigs killin' it for coho and squid at night, per Puget Sound tackle pros. Perch by the dozens on dropshot rigs with scented tube jigs for panfish action. Roe on egg loops is deadly bait for salmon and steelhead drifts. Bass and trout hittin' spinnerbaits too.

It's Saturday, January 24th, and we're lookin' at a solid day on the water—sunrise at 7:44 AM PST, sunset 4:58 PM, givin' us about 9 hours of light to chase bites. Tides today per Tide-Forecast.com: Low at 1:50 AM (2.69 ft), high 8:26 AM (12.5 ft), low 3:11 PM (2.56 ft), and evenin' high 9:09 PM (8.73 ft). Fish the incomin' tide mid-mornin' and that afternoon low for best action—currents'll stir up baitfish. Weather's classic PNW: partly cloudy, highs around 48°F, light winds from the south at 5-10 knots. No big storms like those atmospheric rivers back in December '25 that US Army Corps of Engineers/Seattle District reported floodin' the Sound with woody debris—watch for logs out there, but waters have settled. Fish activity's pickin' up with winter chinook—blackmouth—on the move. Local reports from Puget Sound Washington Fishing Today note solid catches last week: 5-15 lb blackmouth in the 10-20 fish range per charter, plus some bottom dwellers like rockfish and lingcod limits. Cutthroat trout hittin' in shallows too, with herring schools drawin' 'em in. Best lures? Coyote spoons in chartreuse or glow—size 3/4 to 1 oz for trollin' 20-40 ft down. Hoochies behind flashers rigged with green label herring. Live bait? Sand shrimp or whole herring on a spreader bar—can't beat 'em for picky blackmouth. Hot spots: Jefferson Head off West Point for blackmouth trollin', and Possession Bar in Central Sound for bottom bouncin'. Launch from Shilshole or Edmonds for easy access.

High tide hit at 7:39 AM at 14.69 feet, and we're looking at a low tide around 1:36 PM at 6.23 feet. Another high tide will push through around 6:26 PM at 11.62 feet. Those morning and evening highs should give you solid fishing windows, especially if you're targeting structure. **Weather & Light** Sunrise was at 7:48 this morning, and sunset hits at 4:56 PM, so we've got about nine hours of daylight. Nothing crazy weather-wise – Northeast winds around 5 knots with seas running 4 to 5 feet. Pretty manageable for most anglers willing to get out there. **Fish Activity & Recent Catches** Coho salmon fishing in Marine Area 9 around Admiralty Inlet typically fires up in August and September, but don't sleep on winter opportunities. Pink salmon catch rates peak in early August, but we're also seeing consistent lingcod action this season around Possession Bar – that fishery's been on fire. Live sand dabs are your go-to for lingcod, though artificial swim baits and jigs work too. For rockfish, look for those rock piles in water under 100 feet – they're thick out there and some of the easiest angling you'll find. Possession Bar remains your primary destination in Marine Area 9 for lingcod, but venture north up Admiralty Inlet and you'll find plenty of rocky structure near the bays and points worth exploring. **Lures & Bait** Downriggers are the standard setup for salmon work out here. For bottom fishing, live sand dabs are crushing it for lingcod. Rockfish? They'll smash most anything you throw at them near structure. **Hot Spots** Hit Possession Bar if you want proven lingcod ground, or head up into Admiralty Inlet and work Foulweather Bluff down through Point No Point – Marine Area 9 has some of the best fishing Puget Sound offers.

Great morning out here on the Sound today. Let's talk tides first. High tide hit at 6 AM this morning at 12.26 feet, and we're looking at low tide around 11:09 AM at 7.83 feet. That's a decent swing—plenty of water movement to get the fish active. Sunrise was around 7:37 AM, and we're looking at sunset at 4:23 PM, so you've got a solid window to work with. Water's been producing some solid action lately. The perch fishing has been excellent—folks are consistently pulling them by the dozens using bobber and bait setups positioned just above the weed beds. That's your bread and butter right now. For the bigger players, we've got reports of walleye white meat runs happening, and halibut and ling are biting strong up at Neah Bay if you're willing to venture out that far. Technique-wise, keep it simple with shrimp and prawns if you're working Puget Sound—properly rigged pots are your best bet for those crustaceans. For the perch, live bait suspended above the weeds with a bobber will put fish in the boat all day long. I'm gonna suggest hitting the waters near Everett or right here around Seattle proper. These areas have been producing consistently, and with today's tidal movement, you're gonna find plenty of activity. Thanks for tuning in to the report, folks.

Artificial Lure here with your Saturday morning Puget Sound update, and let me tell you—conditions are looking solid out there. **Tides and Timing** We're looking at a high tide at 5:34 AM this morning in Seattle, followed by a low at 10:35 AM. That mid-morning low is prime time for working the flats. According to Tide-Forecast, we've got another high coming in around 2:45 PM, so plan your day accordingly. Sunrise was at 7:51 AM, and we've got until 4:47 PM before dark, so you've got a full day ahead. **What's Been Happening** The word from Victoria—just north of us—is that winter Chinook are absolutely ON. Island Fisherman reports that the waterfront's been on fire with squid-fueled activity. They hooked fifteen fish last weekend, pulling five beautiful chrome-bright fish to the boat around the 75-centimeter mark, which means 8-12 pounds of hard-fighting muscle. The stomach contents tell the story: squid. That's your key indicator. When market squid are thick in the water, the entire food chain is firing. **Your Arsenal** Match the hatch, people. Since the Chinook are keyed on squid and herring right now, you want to be throwing hoochies and larger spoons in glow and UV-reflective patterns. Those translucent finishes mimicking squid flash are your ticket right now. **Hot Spots** You can't go wrong hitting the Victoria waterfront if you've got access, but closer to home, keep your eye on Hale Passage in Puget Sound. Friday Harbor over on San Juan Island is also producing consistent action with high tides around 6:19 AM and 12:38 PM today. The bite is on, folks. Get out there and tight lines!

That's prime time for movement, especially if you're targeting winter steelhead. The water's transitioning nicely—you've got that slack water window right around 7 to 8 AM if you want to work some flats or structure without fighting the current. **What's Biting** Winter steelhead season is officially heating up according to recent reports. The Skagit River and surrounding Puget Sound systems are absolutely loaded with fresh fish right now. Anglers have been pulling steelhead consistently, particularly over the holiday stretch when water levels were manageable. This time of year, you're also prime for spotting Pacific spiny lumpsuckers off the Pacific Northwest coast—yeah, weird little guys, but they're out there. **Best Tactics** For steelhead, bobber doggin' is your go-to method. Rig yourself up with some fresh spawn bags or sand shrimp under a bobber in 4 to 8 feet of water. If you're plunking from shore, roe and Kwikfish have been putting fish in the cooler. Winter steelhead are aggressive right now, so don't overthink it—fresh bait and proper presentation beat fancy lures every time. **Hot Spots** Get yourself up to the Skagit system—it's absolutely firing. If you're closer to Seattle proper, focus on the deeper holes and slack water areas along the main Puget Sound channels. The transition zones where rivers meet the Sound are holding plenty of fish.

Winter's grip is tight, but the bite's alive if ya know where to cast. Weather's classic PNW: overcast skies, temps hoverin' 'round 42°F with light drizzle and winds at 5-10 knots from the south—perfect for bundled-up anglers, per NOAA forecasts.

Fish activity's steady in the Sound. Coho smolts are migratin' early per recent WDFW studies on Chehalis patterns mirrorin' Puget trends, with spring Chinook showin' promise from Columbia outlooks bleedin' into our waters. Locals report decent catches of hatchery Chinook (limits 2/day), coho holdovers, and blackmouth in 80-120 ft depths. Amounts? Solid 10-20 fish days for boats trollin'—mostly 8-15 lb kings, some 4-7 lb silvers. Groundfish like rockfish (4-fish limit) and lingcod (3-fish) pickin' up too, per ODFW updates. Best lures: Glow-in-the-dark hoochies or buzz bombs rigged with green/silver flashers for low-light Chinook—Gone Fishing NW swears by 'em deep. Pro-Troll wizards or Apex spoons in chartreuse. Bait? Fresh herring or candlefish chunks on spreader bars; cut-plug herring for coho. Hot spots: Hit Admiralty Inlet near Keystone Ferry—strong currents pull 'em in.

It's Monday morning, January 12th, and we're lookin' at a classic winter day in Seattle waters—rain drizzlin' down with south winds at 10-15 knots today, easin' up tomorrow per the National Weather Service marine forecast for Puget Sound. Waves 2 feet or less, patchy fog lingerin', so keep those nav lights on. Sunrise hit around 7:50 AM, sunset 'bout 4:40 PM—short days mean prime low-light bites. Tides from NOAA at Seattle station: low slack early mornin' risin' to high around mid-day, then droppin' sharp—fish the incoming for best action, currents stirrin' baitfish. Weather's holdin' steady at 48°F, humid, no big blows after that Small Craft Advisory wrapped at dawn. Fish are active despite the chill—recent reports from Gone Fishing NW highlight winter trout holdin' deep, plus lingering pinks in shallower bays if you're beach castin'. Locals pulled decent Dungeness crab pots last week, and orcas with K pod calves spotted mid-December by Center for Whale Research, so steer clear of those spots. Chinook and coho showin' sporadic, but bottom bouncers nabbed flounders and rockfish steady. Best lures? Glow-in-the-dark squid jigs like Bashi 2/3-oz packs for night squid runs, Luhr-Jensen Jet Divers trolled 30 feet for salmon, or Moonshine Dodgers with hoochies. Live bait: herring strips or shrimp on a trout rig for river mouths. Match the hatch—small, flashy in this murk.

Let’s start on the water. The NOAA marine forecast for Puget Sound and Hood Canal is calling for **southerlies 5–10 knots with waves 2 feet or less**, building slightly this afternoon with a chance of rain. That’s classic winter Sound weather: chilly, damp, and totally fishable if you’ve got decent gear and a thermos. According to NOAA tide predictions for Seattle, we’re working with **big winter exchanges**, with a deep low and a solid high mid‑day. Think strong current on the ebb and early flood. Plan your sets around those softer edges—about an hour on either side of slack—for the most comfortable trolling and jigging. Sunrise and sunset for the central Sound are roughly **7:5x a.m. and 4:3x p.m.** Short window, so the prime bite is that gray‑light first hour and the first push of afternoon flood before dark. Fish activity has been typical mid‑winter: - Resident **blackmouth (immature Chinook)** are the main show. Reports from local anglers around Kingston and Jeff Head say a **steady pick of 4–8 lb fish**, with a few over 10. - **Flounder and sand dab** are thick on the flats off Alki and Elliott Bay for anyone bouncing bait on bottom. - **Crab** is quieter now in many inner‑Sound areas, but folks still soaking pots deeper (80–120 ft) are scratching out legal Dungeness where seasons remain open—always confirm WDFW regs before you drop gear. Best producers for blackmouth right now: - **Hardware:** 3–3.5" spoons in **green/white, Irish Cream, and Herring Aide** behind an 11" flasher in **green/glow or purple haze**. - **Hoochies:** small **green splatterback or UV white** hoochies, 32–40" leaders, trolled 1.8–2.3 knots just off bottom in 80–140 feet. - **Bait:** If you’re a bait die‑hard, **plug‑cut herring** or **anchovies** in a helmet are still money—just remember dogfish can be an issue on softer tide periods. For bottom fish: - A **2–4 oz jighead with a 4–5" curly‑tail grub** in white or chartreuse does work on flounder. Tip it with a little strip of herring or squid if you want more scent. - Simple **high‑low rigs** with small bits of clam, shrimp, or herring will keep rods bending for kids. Couple of local hot spots to think about: - **Jeff Head:** Classic winter blackmouth ground. Work the 120–160 ft contour on the west and south sides, keep your cannonballs ticking bottom, and follow the bait balls. - **Possession Bar:** A little more run, but worth it. Focus on the west side on the ebb and the east edge on the flood, 120–180 ft. Watch your speed and stay tight to bottom—most of the bigger fish this week have come right in the dirt. - Close‑in option: **Meadow Point to West Point** has been giving up a few keepers for folks who don’t want to burn the fuel. Same program: small spoons, deep. If you’re shore‑bound, the piers at **Edmonds and Seacrest** are slower on salmon now, but still good for flounder, the odd winter bullhead, and some light‑lin This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re sitting in a mild, damp pattern over the Sound. The National Weather Service marine forecast for Puget Sound and Hood Canal calls for light **south winds 5–10 knots** and waves around **2 feet or less**, with on‑and‑off light rain and plenty of overcast. That’s classic winter “steelhead gray” and good for keeping boat traffic down. According to NOAA tide predictions for Seattle, we’ve got a **strong morning flood** topping out mid‑morning, a decent afternoon ebb, then another push in the evening. Think moving water windows rather than camping all day: first light through the late‑morning high, then the first couple hours of the afternoon ebb. Daylight is still short. Local tide tables and almanacs put **sunrise around 7:55 a.m. and sunset near 4:30 p.m.** You don’t have much margin, so plan your launches and crossings accordingly. Winter fish activity has been better than the gray skies suggest. Local charter reports out of Shilshole and Elliott Bay have been seeing **keeper blackmouth (resident chinook) in the 5–9 lb range**, plus plenty of shakers. Inner Sound moochers are also picking up **mixed flounder and the odd sand dab** around the flats. Out toward Kingston and Jeff Head, trollers running deep are reporting **steady legal chinook with a few pushing low teens** on the bigger tides. Best producers right now: - **Lures for blackmouth:** - 3–3.5" **white or green glow hoochies** behind an 11" Pro‑Troll or Hot Spot flasher. - Small **spatterback needlefish and Coho Killer spoons** in green/glow or Irish cream, 32–140 feet on the rigger, just off bottom on the humps. - **Bait:** - **Herring strips or whole green label herring** in a helmet, slow‑trolled. - For shore guys, **sand shrimp or small herring chunks** on a high‑low rig for flounder and the odd dogfish. A few piers and bank spots have coughed up **resident coho and sub‑legal chinook** on **1/2–3/4 oz metal jigs and 3" soft plastics** fished on the drop. Keep those hooks barbless where required and mind the area closures. Couple of hot spots for you: - **Jeff Head / West Point line:** Classic winter blackmouth turf. Work the 100–140 foot contour on the flood, trolling with the current, spoons or hoochies a few feet off bottom. When the bait stacks on the sonar, stay on that line and grind—this is where most of the recent keeper reports are coming from. - **Manchester / Yukon Harbor side:** A little more sheltered in a south breeze. Fish the edges of the drop‑off for blackmouth and flounder, running gear tight to bottom and watching for those bait balls sliding along the structure. Closer in, **Elliott Bay** has kicked out some legal blackmouth on the flats outside the marina and off Duwamish Head, especially right on the tide change.

We're talkin' Wednesday, January 7th, 2026, right around 8:27 AM Pacific time—perfect hour to hit the water before the day warms up. Tides today in Puget Sound are lookin' prime: low tide hit around 12:47 AM at -0.39 feet, high comin' mid-mornin' pushin' 10-14 feet dependin' on your spot like Budd Inlet or Tacoma, then droppin' again afternoon. Fish the outgoing for best action, 'specially 'round slack. Sunrise was at 7:50 AM-ish, sunset 'bout 4:40 PM—short days mean bundle up. Weather's calm per Marine Zone Forecast: northeast winds 5 knots shiftin' southeast, waves 2 feet or less, patchy fog clearin' by noon. No big blows, but watch for small craft advisories lingerin' from yesterday. Fish activity's steady for winter—recent reports from Duwamish and Sound beaches show pinks still pushin' through from last fall's massive 8 million return, though they're windin' down. Locals hauled 'em off Harbor Island bridges last summer, combat fishin' style with chrome flashin' everywhere. Now, eyes on bottom dwellers: rockfish, lingcod bitin' good on jigs, and squid night's hot with glow-in-the-dark 12-claw jigs snaggin' 'em easy in low light. Stocked trout poppin' in calmer bays too, per Gone Fishing Northwest tips. Amounts? Dozens per outing if you're dialed in—no bonanza, but consistent limits. Best lures: Puget Sound Pounder jigs in glow UV for jiggin' deep, Whistler 1-oz in various colors bouncin' bottoms. Buzzers or spinners for pinks if stragglers hang. Bait-wise, herring strips or squid chunks on a dropper rig kill it—fresh from Outdoor Emporium or Fly Fishers' Shop in Seattle. Hot spots: Duwamish River bridge for salmon remnants—crowded but chrome city. Elliott Bay beaches or north Seattle shores for squid and bottom fish—easy shore access.

Patchy dense fog overnight and mornin', so watch your step launchin' boats. Sunrise hits about 7:50 AM, sunset 'round 4:25 PM—short days, but that's winter fishin' for ya. Tides at Seattle from NOAA Tides & Currents: low at 9:07 PM last night, high 11.62 feet at 4:21 AM today, droppin' to 8.89 feet low by 8:58 AM, then high 1:36 PM. Fish the incomin' tide hard—currents'll push bait right to 'em. Fish activity's pickin' up slow but steady. Puget Sound Chinook are listed threatened per Monterey County Weekly reports on local runs, but blackmouth season's whisperin' promises—Guides Forecast notes winter steelhead tricklin' into nearby rivers, and we're seein' similar vibes here with resident kings and coho holdovers. Small sharks poppin' up accidental in northern Sound catches, AOL says, plus orcas like new K47 calf spottin' in December per Islands Weekly—keep eyes peeled. Recent reports from Fishin' Magician show no huge hauls yet in 2026, but lake trout and rainbows bit well inland last week; expect 5-10 fish limits on chinook if you hit 'em right, mostly 8-15 pounders. Best lures? Go Allcock Norwich two-tone spoons in gold/silver with red—killer for salmon and trout, per tackle pros. Troll 'em 20-40 feet down. Bait-wise, fresh herring strips or hoochies with corn scent for kokanee holdouts, Gone Fishing NW style. Plunking rigs like Cascade Gold Sunset spinners shine for kings. Hot spots: Jefferson Head off Seattle for blackmouth trolling, and Shilshole Bay piers for bank casters—currents rip there today. Bundle up, check WDFW regs, and stay safe out there.

It's New Year's Eve morning, and we're lookin' at a solid day on the water—mild overcast skies turnin' to partial sun this afternoon, highs in the upper 40s, chilly mid-30s tonight with possible late showers, per the National Weather Service. Sunrise around 8 AM, sunset by 4:20 PM, so get out early. Tides in Seattle Puget Sound today: low at 6:25 AM (7.61 ft), high at noon (11.98 ft), evenin' low at 7:25 PM droppin' to -1.08 ft—prime movin' water for bites, courtesy of TidesChart. Fish for that outgoing tide in the afternoon when crabs and bottom-dwellers get active. Big news: Dungeness crab season opens today from Klipsan Beach south, first December start since 2021, says WDFW's Matthew George. Puget Sound's heatin' up—anglers reporttin' good keepers on sandy/muddy bottoms, nocturnal but hittin' pots now. Salmon's tougher; recent floods buried eggs, so expect fewer Chinook, pink, and chum returns in comin' years, per WDFW updates. Seals eatin' more steelhead too, notes Northwest Treaty Tribes. Still, bottom fish like rockfish and lingcod are steady, with some trout stocked in local lakes for winter action. Recent catches? Solid Dungeness limits at Edmonds Pier and Des Moines Marina—folks haulin' 10-20 pots with big males. Crabbers nailin' 'em on chicken legs or herring chunks. For finfish, try herring or shrimp for salmon remnants, or buzz bombs and hoochies on downriggers. Best lures: St. Croix rods with Daiwa reels, spinnin' War Eagle spinnerbaits or Rat-L-Trap lipless cranks for bass, per Soggy Rods crew. J-Braid line with fluoro leaders seals the deal.

We’re on small winter tides right now. Tides4Fishing shows a morning low around 3–4 feet followed by a late‑morning high just under 12 feet and an evening drop, with overall low solunar activity but a modest bump around first light and again near dusk. That gives you soft current in the mid‑morning and early evening, perfect for running gear close to structure. Sunrise is right around 7:30 a.m., sunset about 4:20 p.m., so it’s a short window. Local forecasts call for classic winter Sound weather: mid‑40s, light south wind in the 5–10 knot range, scattered showers and decent ceiling. That’s fishable as long as you dress for a wet ride and watch the afternoon wind bumps. According to Cut Plug Charters out of Seattle, winter blackmouth have been the main game, with keeper Chinook coming off mid‑Sound humps and ledges on light tackle mooching and trolling. They report steady action on resident Chinook with a mix of shakers, a few legal fish per trip, plus the odd flounder and incidental ling on the deeper edges. Best producers have been **3–3.5 inch herring or anchovy‑pattern spoons** behind an 11‑inch flasher, and **cut‑plug herring** run on a slow, wandering mooch. Greens and glows are the ticket: Irish Cream, Herring Aid, Green Spatterback, and UV white have all been putting fish in the box. If you’re bait‑forward, a brined green or natural herring on a 6‑foot leader with 4–6 ounces of lead is still money. Keep your gear 5–15 feet off bottom in 80–140 feet and hit the turns to trigger followers. In the salt, outside of blackmouth, it’s mostly winter flounder and the occasional cod‑type bycatch. Expect a handful of flatfish per angler on shrimp, squid strips, or small Gulp grubs fished right on the deck. Couple of local hot spots: - **Jeff Head:** Classic winter blackmouth hump. Work the 100–140 foot contour on the east and south sides, trolling north–south with the tide. Stay tight to the breaks; most legals this week have come right on the lip. - **Possession Bar:** Longer run, but it’s been one of the more consistent bars for winter Chinook. Focus on the west side and the “Tin Shed” area, dragging spoons and hootchies with green or UV flashers close to bottom. For pier and small‑boat folks, **Elliott Bay and Seacrest/Water Taxi pier** still offer a shot at blackmouth and flounder. Cast 1–1.5 ounce metal jigs or 3‑inch soft plastics on 3/8–1/2 ounce heads, count them down to near bottom, and hop them back with pauses. Freshwater pressure has been light but steady on urban trout. According to GoneFishingNW, lakes like Beaver Lake in Sammamish get jumbo broodstock plants in late fall, and those big rainbows bite all winter on small spoons, dough baits, and 1/16‑ounce marabou jigs under a float. Overall, fish activity is modest but worth the effort: a few legal blackmouth per serious crew, good numbers of shakers, and plenty of flounder to keep the rods moving.

Let’s start with conditions. NOAA’s Seattle marine forecast is calling for a stiff one today: gale warning on Puget Sound and Hood Canal with northerlies cranking up and choppy wind waves. That’s small‑boat‑killer stuff, so if you’re in a skiff, this is a stay‑close‑to‑the‑ramp kind of day. According to NOAA tide predictions for Seattle, we’re on a winter mixed tide cycle with a decent morning flood pushing toward midday, then a dropping afternoon tide. Sunrise is around 8 a.m., sunset about 4:20 p.m., so your prime light windows are short and sweet. Cold, dark, moving water means one thing: **blackmouth**. Local winter Chinook in the central Sound have been putting a few keepers in the box for folks grinding it out from Jeff Head down to Kingston. Nothing wild, but steady: think ones and twos per boat, plus the usual shakers. Recent chatter around the marinas has Edmonds and Possession Bar putting out legal fish for boats that stick to the bottom and keep gear clean. Best setups right now: - For blackmouth, run a **11″ flasher** in green/glow or blue/chrome with a 30–40″ leader to a 3.5 spoon in Irish Cream, Herring Aid, or Cookies ’n Cream. - If you’re a bait person, a tight‑rolling **herring or anchovy** in a helmet, 6–8 feet behind a flasher, just kissing bottom in 90–140 feet. - Keep bumping that downrigger; if you’re not hanging bottom once in a while, you’re too high. Resident coho are starting to snoop around inside too, especially north Sound. Smaller fish, but fun. Scale down to a 3.0 spoon or a mini hoochie behind a flasher, 40–60 feet down over 100–200 feet of water. On the bottom side, winter **flounder and sand dabs** in Elliott Bay, off Alki, and along the ferry lanes are a solid backup plan. A simple high‑low rig with bits of herring, clam, or squid will keep the rod bending and the kids happy. Lingcod is closed, so if you hook one, admire and let it go. Crabbing’s wrapped up in most marine areas, and WDFW is busy tweaking 2026 shellfish seasons on a bunch of Sound beaches, so double‑check regs before you start digging clams or dropping pots. Couple of hot spots to put on your whiteboard: - **Jeff Head:** Classic winter Chinook ground. Work the east side contour, 90–140 feet, trolling with the tide. Expect bait, birds, and sealions if the fish are in. - **Possession Bar:** When the wind lets you, run the west and south edges in 120–180 feet. Long, smooth troll passes on the flood can mean heavy blackmouth. - Close‑to‑town option: **Elliott Bay/Alki** for flounder and the odd resident coho, especially when that gale makes the outer Sound ugly. Given the gale warning, fish smart: check the latest marine forecast, keep an eye on that northerly, and don’t be shy about turning around early. The Sound will be here tomorrow.

Local winter Chinook in the central Sound have been putting a few keepers in the box for folks grinding it out from Jeff Head down to Kingston. Nothing wild, but steady: think ones and twos per boat, plus the usual shakers. Recent chatter around the marinas has Edmonds and Possession Bar putting out legal fish for boats that stick to the bottom and keep gear clean. Best setups right now: - For blackmouth, run a **11″ flasher** in green/glow or blue/chrome with a 30–40″ leader to a 3.5 spoon in Irish Cream, Herring Aid, or Cookies ’n Cream. - If you’re a bait person, a tight‑rolling **herring or anchovy** in a helmet, 6–8 feet behind a flasher, just kissing bottom in 90–140 feet. - Keep bumping that downrigger; if you’re not hanging bottom once in a while, you’re too high. Resident coho are starting to snoop around inside too, especially north Sound. Smaller fish, but fun. Scale down to a 3.0 spoon or a mini hoochie behind a flasher, 40–60 feet down over 100–200 feet of water. On the bottom side, winter **flounder and sand dabs** in Elliott Bay, off Alki, and along the ferry lanes are a solid backup plan. A simple high‑low rig with bits of herring, clam, or squid will keep the rod bending and the kids happy. Lingcod is closed, so if you hook one, admire and let it go. Crabbing’s wrapped up in most marine areas, and WDFW is busy tweaking 2026 shellfish seasons on a bunch of Sound beaches, so double‑check regs before you start digging clams or dropping pots. Couple of hot spots to put on your whiteboard: - **Jeff Head:** Classic winter Chinook ground. Work the east side contour, 90–140 feet, trolling with the tide. Expect bait, birds, and sealions if the fish are in. - **Possession Bar:** When the wind lets you, run the west and south edges in 120–180 feet. Long, smooth troll passes on the flood can mean heavy blackmouth. - Close‑to‑town option: **Elliott Bay/Alki** for flounder and the odd resident coho, especially when that gale makes the outer Sound ugly. Given the gale warning, fish smart: check the latest marine forecast, keep an eye on that northerly, and don’t be shy about turning around early. The Sound will be here tomorrow.

We’re on a classic winter pattern now. According to the National Weather Service, expect a cool, gray day around the mid‑40s, light southerly breeze, scattered showers, and a freezing level well above town – in other words, typical Sound winter steelhead and blackmouth weather. Sunrise is right around 8 a.m., with sunset about 4:20 p.m., so you’ve only got a short mid‑day window before that light really fades. NOAA tide tables for Seattle show a nice moving tide this morning rolling into an afternoon slack – not huge swings, but enough current to push bait around the points and ledges. Focus your efforts an hour or two on either side of the stronger exchanges; that’s when the bite has lined up lately. Out on the water, the winter **blackmouth** (resident Chinook) have been the headline. Local charters and private boats this past week have been quietly putting a few keepers a trip in the box, with plenty of shakers to keep rods bouncing. Most fish are cookie‑cutter 5–8 pounds, with an occasional low‑teens fish showing if you grind. Expect to work for them, but the quality’s solid. Best producers have been **small spoons and hoochies** fished behind flashers, trolled tight to structure in 90–150 feet. Think 3.0–3.5 spoons in glow/green, Irish cream, or cop car patterns, and white or glow hoochies over a herring/UV flasher. A generous smear of herring or anchovy scent hasn’t hurt. A lot of locals are running 30–42 inches of 25‑ to 30‑pound leader to keep those spoons working right in the cold water. If you’re running bait, **small herring or anchovies** in a tight helmet or strip behind a flasher are still putting out fish when the spoon bite goes quiet. Work close to bottom – literally a crank or two up – and be ready to clear gear when you slide up onto a hump. Resident **coho** are still around in the central Sound, mostly smaller fish, but they’re adding some bycatch action to the blackmouth program. Same gear, just run your sets a little higher in the water column when you’re marking suspended bait. For shore anglers, the **sea‑run cutthroat** bite has been decent between storms. Light 7–8 foot rods, 8‑pound mono or 10‑pound braid, and small metal or marabou jigs in olive/white or pink have been taking fish on the flood. Fly folks are doing well with sparse baitfish patterns in olive and gray. A couple of **hot spots** to circle on your map: - **Jeff Head / West Point:** Classic winter blackmouth structure. Troll the edges of the bar and breaklines in 100–150 feet, following your sounder. Early tide changes here have produced some of the better fish in the last week. - **Point No Point / Pilot Point:** When the tide is moving, these have held good schools of bait and keeper‑class blackmouth. Long tacks along the contour, spoons right off bottom, have been the ticket.

We’ve got a classic winter system rolling through. The National Weather Service marine forecast for Puget Sound and Hood Canal is calling for strong south winds 15 to 25 knots today with rain and 2–3 foot wind waves, building higher in the main basin later. It’s wet, bumpy, and very much a “pick your window and tuck in tight to shore” kind of day. Seattle tides are big and moving. Tides.net shows a high around 11 feet just before dawn, a mid‑morning low around 8 feet, another solid afternoon high just over 10 feet, then a big evening low dropping below zero. Sunrise is about 7:52 a.m. with sunset around 4:18 p.m., so your practical fishing window is tight and dim. Those strong exchanges are stirring things up, and fish have been responding between squalls. Local reports and tackle shop chatter around the central Sound say blackmouth chinook have been picking up again off Jefferson Head, Kingston, and the oil docks, with a mix of legal keepers and decent shakers. Most of the better fish have been coming 80–140 feet down in 150–220 feet of water, run just off bottom. Productive gear has been classic winter Sound fare: 3.5‑inch spoons in green/glow or Irish cream behind an 11‑inch flasher, or hoochies in UV white and green with a strip of herring. A lot of locals are sweetening hardware with a tiny teaser of herring to match the small bait that’s still around. If you’re running bait only, whole or cut‑plug herring in a tight roll is still king. Resident coho and sea‑run cutthroat have been showing in the top 30 feet inside Elliott Bay, off West Point, and along the south Sound shoreline from Dash Point down toward Point Defiance. Think smaller profile: 2–3 inch spoons, small white or sand‑lance pattern flies, and tiny soft plastics. When the wind lets you get close to the beach, a suspended strip of herring under a float or a small jig worked along current seams has turned fish. Crabbing is still on a lot of minds. Northwest Sportsman Magazine recently highlighted WDFW’s survey of successful Dungeness crabbers in Marine Areas 6, 7, and 9, and that lines up with what folks are seeing: pockets of good Dungies remain in deeper water, 80–120 feet, especially in Admiralty Inlet and the eastern Straits. Fresh salmon heads, razor clam guts, and oily fish frames are the baits of choice right now—change them often in this heavy current. A couple of hot spots if you can time the lulls in the wind: - Jefferson Head to Kingston for blackmouth on the troll. Work the contour breaks on the first of the flood or last of the ebb. - Point Defiance and the Clay Banks for a mix of blackmouth and the odd late coho, especially around tide changes when the current eases. If you’re shorebound, try Seacrest in West Seattle or Edmonds pier just after dark, fishing small glow jigs or herring under a float for resident salmon and the odd squid between storm pulses.

We’ve got a classic winter south blow on tap. The National Weather Service marine forecast for Puget Sound and Hood Canal is calling for strong southerlies 20 to 25 knots with gusts pushing 35 and a Gale Warning up, plus plenty of rain. That’s sloppy for the small stuff, so pick your windows and stay tucked in behind points and ferry lanes if you’re heading out. Tides around Seattle today are running moderate but moving enough to fish: tide-forecast.com shows a high at Seattle just before 3 a.m. around 9 feet and a morning ebb dropping to roughly 7 feet after 7 a.m., with another solid flood into the early afternoon. Sunrise is about 7:50 a.m. and sunset about 4:22 p.m., so you’ve got a short gray window to work with. Cold, dark, and moving water have the usual winter suspects chewing. Blackmouth (resident chinook) reports from the last few days have been decent along the eastern shoreline of central Sound—guys working from West Point down toward Alki have been picking a few legal fish per boat when they stick to the contours and keep gear near bottom. Mixed in have been the typical just-short shakers. Resident coho are still around in pockets. Inside Elliott Bay and along the Bainbridge side, trollers dragging smaller gear have found scattered coho and the odd cutthroat, especially on the softer tides. Nothing crazy, but enough to stay interested. On the bottom, winter flounder and the occasional sand dab are keeping kids happy off the waterfront piers and marinas. A few folks are still poking around for late crab where seasons are open; most pots are scratching but a handful of keepers are showing on deeper ledges. Best producers right now: for blackmouth and coho, run small to medium spoons like Coho Killers and tailwagger-style spoons in Irish Cream, Herring Aid, or green/glow behind an 11-inch flasher with UV or glow tape. Hoochie behind a flasher in army truck or white/glow is also money. Bait guys are doing well with cut-plug herring or anchovies trolled slow and deep, especially on that first couple hours of the flood. Off the piers, simple works: bits of herring or squid on a high-low rig for flounder; small metal jigs and soft plastics for searun cutts. A couple hot spots to circle on your chart: – West Point to Fourmile Rock on the Seattle side, grinding tight to the 120–160 foot line for blackmouth on the flood. – Southworth to Allen Bank, working the edges where bait stacks up in the afternoon, especially if the wind lets you troll a consistent line. From the beach crowd, folks tossing small spoons and flies around Lincoln Park and the northern Vashon shorelines have found a few feisty cutthroat on the softer parts of the tide; olive-over-white baitfish patterns and 1/4‑ounce silver spoons have been steady. That’s the story for Puget Sound today: windy, wet, but fishable if you respect the weather and let the tide do the work.

Inside Elliott Bay and along the Bainbridge side, trollers dragging smaller gear have found scattered coho and the odd cutthroat, especially on the softer tides. Nothing crazy, but enough to stay interested. On the bottom, winter flounder and the occasional sand dab are keeping kids happy off the waterfront piers and marinas. A few folks are still poking around for late crab where seasons are open; most pots are scratching but a handful of keepers are showing on deeper ledges. Best producers right now: for blackmouth and coho, run small to medium spoons like Coho Killers and tailwagger-style spoons in Irish Cream, Herring Aid, or green/glow behind an 11-inch flasher with UV or glow tape. Hoochie behind a flasher in army truck or white/glow is also money. Bait guys are doing well with cut-plug herring or anchovies trolled slow and deep, especially on that first couple hours of the flood. Off the piers, simple works: bits of herring or squid on a high-low rig for flounder; small metal jigs and soft plastics for searun cutts. A couple hot spots to circle on your chart: – West Point to Fourmile Rock on the Seattle side, grinding tight to the 120–160 foot line for blackmouth on the flood. – Southworth to Allen Bank, working the edges where bait stacks up in the afternoon, especially if the wind lets you troll a consistent line. From the beach crowd, folks tossing small spoons and flies around Lincoln Park and the northern Vashon shorelines have found a few feisty cutthroat on the softer parts of the tide; olive-over-white baitfish patterns and 1/4‑ounce silver spoons have been steady. That’s the story for Puget Sound today: windy, wet, but fishable if you respect the weather and let the tide do the work.

We’re on a small morning tide set today. Seattle tide-forecast shows a pre-dawn low around 5:00 a.m. at about 4½ feet, then a big late-morning push to roughly 12 feet just before noon, followed by a moderate evening ebb. That late-morning flood is your money window for most of the Sound. According to tide-forecast and NOAA tables, sunrise is right about 7:50 a.m. with sunset just after 4:15 p.m., so you’ve got a tight winter light window and long, low-light edges to work with. Weather-wise, National Weather Service outlook around Seattle has us in classic winter pattern: cool mid‑40s, a light south to southwest breeze, cloud cover thickening with scattered showers. Not much wind chop early, a bit more texture as that tide builds late morning. Perfect for working structure and current seams without getting beat up. Fish activity has been better than you’d expect this far into December. Local tackle shops and recent Puget Sound reports are still talking about keeper blackmouth (resident Chinook) in decent numbers, plus a mix of late chum and a few bonus coho hanging on in the north Sound. Herring and sand lance schools are thick; Salish Sea bird reports describe big mixed bird piles on bait, which usually means salmon and hungry resident blackmouth under them. Best action lately has been: - Blackmouth in 60–140 feet off West Point, Jeff Head, and outer Possession Bar. - Chum and straggler coho reported along the Kitsap side — Kingston down to Point No Point — plus some fish inside Elliot Bay on the morning flood. - Squid still going strong at the downtown and Bainbridge ferries at night, with good counts off the piers. Gear and bait: - For blackmouth, locals are running 3–3.5 inch Coho Killer and Kingfisher spoons in Irish Cream, Herring Aid, and Cookies & Cream behind an 11-inch Pro-Troll flasher or a standard purple haze paddle. Hootchies in green glow and UV white over 40– to 50‑inch leaders are also producing. - Bait guys are doing well with small herring or anchovy in helmet, trolled just off bottom, 10–20 feet up. - For beach anglers, 1/2‑ to 3/4‑ounce metal like Puget Pounders or Buzz Bomb–style jigs in green–white and herring patterns are still drawing coho and the odd blackmouth on the flood. - Squid jigs: smaller size, glow bodies with pink or green accents, fished mid‑column under lights. Hot spots to circle on your chart: - **Jeff Head / West Point line**: Work the break in 100–140 feet on that late‑morning flood. Keep your rigger scraping the bottom third and watch for bird piles. - **Possession Bar and Point No Point**: Edges of the bar on the flood have been giving up a nice mix of legal blackmouth and bigger shakers. Up shallow, beach casters at Point No Point are still seeing a few late coho at first light.

We’re riding big rain and wind this week. National Weather Service marine forecast calls for southwest winds 15–25 knots in central Puget Sound with gusts near 30 and persistent rain, and a Small Craft Advisory up for much of the day, so smaller boats should pick windows carefully. FOX 13 Seattle reports an atmospheric river over western Washington with river flooding concerns, so expect dirty water in the lower rivers and lots of debris in the Sound. Sunrise around Seattle is about 7:50 a.m. with sunset near 4:18 p.m., so the prime low‑light bites are short but sharp around first light and that last hour of daylight. Tides from NOAA for Elliott Bay show a decent morning flood pushing bait up onto the points, then an afternoon ebb that should fire up current seams off West Point, Alki, and Restoration. Work those edges hard as the water starts to move; slack has been noticeably slower. Fishing-wise, it’s classic winter mix. Washington Fishing Report Today notes solid winter crabbing across Puget Sound, with Marine Areas north of Ayock Point producing near four Dungeness per pot for many crews. Pots baited with oily salmon heads or clams are doing best, dropped on clean sand in 60–120 feet and soaked a good 2–3 hours. Resident blackmouth have been spotty but improving. Best action has been mid‑Sound humps and breaks—Jeff Head, West Point, and the Kingston bar. Troll 3–3.5 inch spoons in green glow or Irish cream behind an 11‑inch flasher, 80–140 feet on the wire. Bait folks are scoring on herring in a helmet, slow‑trolled just off bottom. Shorten leaders in this dirty water to keep things tight and thumping. Sea‑run cutthroat along the beaches have liked the chop. Fly anglers are doing well with small white/olive baitfish patterns, and gear anglers tossing 1/4‑oz kastmasters or soft plastics in smelt colors are picking up fish on flooding tides around Lincoln Park, Golden Gardens, and the east side of Bainbridge. Two hot spots to circle today: - **Jeff Head/Kingston bar** for blackmouth if you’ve got the boat and the weather window. Stick to 2–2.5 knots, gear just off bottom. - **Alki to Lincoln Park shoreline** for beach cutthroat and a shot at bonus coho, especially on the morning flood. With all this runoff, bright and glowy is the name of the game: chartreuse and glow spoons, UV hoochies, and scent‑ed baits. On the beaches, go a size up and don’t be afraid to fish tight to the breakers; fish are following bait right into the wash. This is Artificial Lure reminding you to watch the marine forecast, keep an eye out for logs, and give the crab pots a little extra line in this swell.

We’re riding a big winter tide swing this morning. Tide-Forecast’s Seattle table shows an early **low of about -2.9 feet just after midnight and a strong morning high around 8:15 a.m. pushing 13 feet**. That big flood will have bait and gamefish tight to structure and current seams. Sunrise is right around 7:50 a.m. with sunset just after 4:15 p.m., so you’ve got a short, punchy winter window to work with. NOAA’s marine forecast for Puget Sound and Hood Canal is calling for **breezy conditions with Small Craft headlines rolling into Gale-level winds later today**, so anyone leaving Shilshole, Elliott Bay, or Des Moines in a small boat needs to watch that forecast and pick leeward shorelines. FOX 13 Seattle is also talking about an atmospheric river and steady, heavy rain over the lowlands, which means colored water in the shallows but good movement in the rips. Catch reports the last week have been classic early-winter Puget Sound: - **Resident coho and early blackmouth** have been picked up off West Point, Jeff Head, and Kingston on 3–3.5" silver/green or cop-car spoons and glow hoochies behind 11" flashers run 80–140 feet down. - **Pile perch and flounder** have been steady for folks soaking pile worms or pieces of shrimp from the Seattle waterfront piers and down around Des Moines. - **Squid** are the star of the show. A recent Bashi Fishing video shot in early December at a West Seattle water taxi pier showed fast daytime action and 4–5 pounds of “banana” squid in about an hour and a half, using blue and green jigs worked deep. On the lure front, think **small and bright** in this dark, rainy water. For salmon, run 2.5–3.5" spoons in Irish cream, Herring Aid, or green/glow patterns, or white/glow hoochies with a short 28–32" leader. Tip them with a sliver of herring strip if you want extra scent. For shore guys chasing sea‑run cutthroat or resident coho, toss **chartreuse/white clousers, small olive baitfish flies, or 1/4 oz metal jigs** in herring colors. For **bait**, herring and anchovy are still king behind the downrigger; sand shrimp or pile worms for bottom fish, and a small piece of shrimp or smelly jelly on your squid jig can make a difference when the bite is finicky. Couple of **hot spots** to consider today: - **West Seattle / Elliott Bay piers**: Good cover from the worst of the wind, solid squid action, and a shot at flounder or a bonus shaker blackmouth on a herring strip off the bottom. - **Edmonds and Mukilteo area**: Tide-Forecast shows a similar strong morning high around 8:10–8:15 a.m.; those rips off the ferry lanes and the oil docks can stack resident coho and early blackmouth. Run your gear just off bottom on the flood and along the drop-offs as the tide turns. Fish that **first light into the peak of the flood** for salmon, then slide inshore or to the piers for squid and bottom fish as the wind ramps up and the barometer drops.

We’re riding a big winter tide this morning. Tide-Forecast’s Seattle table shows a **high around 7:30 a.m. at about 13 feet**, dropping to roughly **8 feet just after lunch**, then building again mid‑afternoon. Tides.net for Shilshole Bay mirrors that with a **morning high near 7:28 a.m.** and a solid midday exchange, so you’ve got good current to work the edges of structure through late morning and again on the afternoon push. According to NOAA’s Seattle tide predictions, **sunrise is about 7:43 a.m. and sunset about 4:17 p.m.**, giving you a tight winter window. Low light at first light and last hour before dark is prime for chinook and blackmouth inside the Sound. Marine Weather Service has a small‑craft advisory tone: southwest winds 15–25 knots with gusts around 30 early, easing some later, with 2‑foot chop and on‑and‑off rain. It’s very fishable for bigger boats, but this is not a great day for small skiffs too far off the beach. Pick your lee shores and dress for sideways rain. Fish activity has been classic early‑winter Puget Sound. Local radio outlets like The Outdoor Line on 710 Seattle Sports have been talking winter ops: blackmouth salmon inside the Sound, squid in Elliott Bay at night, and good crabbing where seasons are open. Recent reports from regulars around Jeff Head and Kingston have put **legal blackmouth in the 5–8 pound class** in the box, with most boats grinding for a fish or two but a few getting three or four when they stay on bait and current. Best bet for salmon right now is **mooching or trolling herring**. Run **green‑label herring** on a 6‑foot leader behind an **11‑inch glow or green flasher**. Popular blades like Onyx, Herring Aid, and Irish Cream-style spoons have been consistent producers. Add a little UV — this gray ceiling makes that pop. If you’re closer to town, 3.0–3.5 spoons in cop car or green/white patterns behind a flasher have been solid off West Point and Fourmile. Bottomfish and resident lings around hard structure are still an option where open. Deception Pass tide data shows strong morning and evening current, so fish the softer ends of that flow with **3–5 ounce lead, 4–6 inch swimbaits in herring or sand‑lance colors**, and keep them ticking bottom. For shore‑based and small‑boat anglers, **squid and surfperch style outings** have been good. Local piers in Elliott Bay and around the central waterfront have seen **tubes 3–6 inches** most evenings on **small white and pink jigs** under a lighted float. Tip with a strip of scent‑soaked squid for extra grabs. A couple of hot spots today: • **Jeff Head / President Point:** Classic winter blackmouth grind. Work 90–140 feet, keep your gear just off bottom, troll with the tide. • **West Point / Fourmile Rock:** Close to Seattle, fishes well on the flood.

We’re in the thick of a classic gray, wet winter pattern, and the South Sound woke up to a stiff south breeze already ruffling the water, with more wind on the way. Puget Sound and Hood Canal are under a Small Craft Advisory through late tonight, with southwest winds 20 to 25 knots and waves around 2 to 4 feet, so if you’re heading out, make sure your boat’s ready and you’ve got all your gear before you leave the dock. Conditions will ease a bit after midnight, but it’s still a day to respect the water. Tide-wise, we’ve got a big one this morning. In Seattle, high tide is at 6:41 a.m. at 13.12 feet, and low tide follows at 11:43 a.m. at 8.13 feet. That’s a serious push, and it’s going to drive a lot of current, especially in the narrows and channels. For fishing, that means focus on the outgoing tide around slack and the first few hours of the ebb, when the water’s moving but not too violent. The big tides are stacking fish up, and they’re feeding. Sunrise is around 7:42 a.m. and sunset about 4:18 p.m., so we’ve got a short window of daylight. Get on the water early and make the most of it. Fish activity has been solid. Chinook and coho are still scattered in the main basins and around the usual haunts near the Seattle waterfront, Elliott Bay, and the Duwamish. There’s been a decent number of hatchery kings and silvers caught trolling with cut plug herring and flasher combos, but the bite is hit or miss. The real action lately has been on bottomfish – lingcod, cabezon, and some nice rockfish – especially around Bainbridge Island, Colvos Passage, and the deeper holes near the Tacoma Narrows. Budd Inlet and the Olympia Shoal area are also producing, with anglers pulling in rockfish and some winter perch. For lures, stick with what works in the cold, dirty water. For salmon, try green or chartreuse hoochies, Buzz Bombs, and small spoons like Kwikfish or Flatfish in bright colors with a little flash. For bottomfish, leadheads in 1–2 oz with plastic tails in white, pink, or green are money, especially when tipped with a bit of shrimp or squid. Jigs like the Gulp! Sand Shrimp or the local favorite, the Pink Shrimp, are also killing it on the bottom. If you’re looking for a couple of hot spots, I’d hit the Seattle seawall and the piers around the central Sound early in the morning, then move to the deeper water off Bainbridge Point or the Colvos Passage ledges as the tide turns. The outgoing tide around slack is prime time for both salmon and bottomfish. Thanks for tuning in, and remember to subscribe so you don’t miss a bite.

Expect low clouds, steady light rain, and choppy open-water conditions, with a small craft advisory shaping up for the main basin and Hood Canal by later in the day. Air temps are sitting cool but not brutal, and water temps are hovering in the mid to upper 40s, which keeps fish active but tight to structure and current seams. First light came on the late side and the window between dawn and the onset of the stronger afternoon wind is the prime shot today. That early gray light around the morning tide change is when the rods have been going off. The evening fade offers a second, shorter window, but plan to be back in before the breeze really stacks the tide against the wind. Winter blackmouth (resident chinook) have been the main show in the central Sound lately, with anglers quietly picking up legal fish mixed with a lot of shakers off Jeff Head, West Point, and the oil docks. Most keepers have been running in that 5–8 pound class, with a few into the low teens for those grinding the contours hard. Bait sign has been tight to the bottom in 80–140 feet, so you want your gear dragging just off the deck, not riding mid-column. Standard winter metal is getting it done: 3–3.5 inch spoons in muted greens and glow whites, hootchies in army truck or glow with a strip of herring, and small anchovy or herring behind a green or chartreuse flasher. Downriggers set just a couple feet off bottom have outfished everything else. If you’re mooching, run cut-plug herring with a slow, steady drop and lift, letting the boat’s drift do most of the work. Out toward Tacoma and the Narrows, the resident coho and sea-run cutthroat bite has been decent on the softer tide phases. Fly anglers and light-tackle folks are seeing action on small baitfish patterns, olive-over-white clousers, and 2–3 inch soft plastics in candlefish colors. Focus on current breaks, beach points, and the edges of eelgrass beds; fish are cruising tight to shore, especially on the flooding tide. For those thinking bottomfish, it’s mostly a lingcod and rockfish scratch game around deeper rock and wreck structure where open, so check current regs carefully. When you do find them, 4–6 ounce jigheads with grub tails or metal jigs bounced slowly along the bottom in 60–120 feet have produced a few solid lingcod alongside the usual cabezon and incidental rockfish. Two solid “hot spots” to put on the list today: Jeff Head for blackmouth if your boat and experience are up to the building wind and chop, and Point Defiance/Tahlequah area in the Narrows for a mix of blackmouth and resident coho when the tide mellows. Beach anglers should look at Lincoln Park and the south end of Vashon for sea-run cutts on the flood, working parallel to shore with light gear and keeping on the move.

Southerly winds are running five to ten knots, with waves staying manageable at two feet or less. High tide this morning was around 6:56 feet, and we've got another low coming up this afternoon. Perfect timing if you're planning an evening session along the beaches or near the dams. **What's Biting** Sea-run cutthroat are holding strong right now in the Puget Sound beaches. These fish are responding well to small baitfish patterns—think sand lance, herring, and smelt imitations. Winter patterns like euphausiid and shrimp flies are also producing solid results this time of year. Now, here's the thing about Chinook salmon in our waters. They're pushing through urban tributaries, and that means they're dealing with some serious challenges. Stormwater runoff and chemical pollution from road surfaces are impacting their health, so target them in cleaner tributaries when you can. When you do connect with a Chinook, it's a trophy worth celebrating. **Hot Spots to Hit** Head to **Bonneville Dam area** if you can access it—word from the fishing community is that's where consistent action is happening right now. Harbor seals and sea lions have been working that area hard, but that means baitfish concentrations are building up. Also, consider the **Cowlitz and Lewis River tributaries**—these areas are seeing good returns and cleaner water conditions than some of our urban streams. **Tackle Recommendations** Stick with small baitfish patterns in the two to three-inch range. Copper, chartreuse, and natural color combinations work best. If you're throwing hardware, small spoons in silver and gold are your friends. And don't sleep on traditional bait—herring strips and smelt are always reliable. Thanks for tuning in to the report, and make sure you subscribe for daily updates.

Weather's looking decent out there today. We've got south winds around five knots this afternoon with waves around two feet or less in the Sound itself. Fair conditions, though you'll want to get your fishing in while you can since Friday night's gonna bring some weather with southwesterly winds picking up to ten to fifteen knots. The water's clear and calm—perfect for sight fishing. Let's talk what's biting. December's absolutely packed with opportunities right now. Sea-run cutthroat trout are active in South Puget Sound's bays and estuaries, especially on those soft tides and slack water when the baitfish bunch up. Rocky beaches in fifteen to twenty feet of water are your sweet spots. Throw small spoons and size two or three spinners—go dark in clear water, brighter colors when it's murky. Marabou Clouser Minnows are crushing it for the fly guys. Remember, barbless hooks only in Puget Sound marine fisheries. Winter crabbing's been solid too. Marine Areas 4 through 12 north of Ayock Point are open through the end of the year. You can keep five male Dungeness at six and a quarter inches hard-shell or go after six red rock crabs and six Tanner crabs per day. Here's the real gem though—market squid are showing up at Seattle piers from Mukilteo down to Tacoma now. They feed heavy at night under lights, so grab your glow jigs and light trout rod after dark. Peak winter squid fishing continues, and calm nights with good lighting produce the strongest action. Lake whitefish is an underrated winter option too. Banks Lake's one of the best in the state—fish there commonly run eighteen to twenty-four inches. Use light rigs with sensitive tips, and drop shrimp, maggots, or salmon eggs. For steelhead, the upper Skykomish at Reiter Ponds is producing hatchery fish early in the season. Tokul Creek's open through mid-February. My hot spot recommendations? Head to South Puget Sound's shallow bays for cutthroat—you'll find them herding baitfish on the tides. And if you're in Seattle, don't miss the central waterfront piers tonight for squid under the lights. Get out there and tight lines, folks.

Let me break down what's happening on the water around Puget Sound today. **Tides and Conditions** We're looking at a high tide at 3:45 AM hitting just under 13 feet, then a low at 8:54 AM around 6.9 feet. Your next high tide comes in at 2:17 PM at nearly 16 feet. Sunrise was at 7:38 this morning with sunset hitting at 4:23 PM, so you've got limited daylight – get out there early. For those hitting the Olympia area, similar conditions with highs and lows following the same general pattern. **What's Biting** December is absolutely loaded with opportunities right now. Sea-run cutthroat trout are prime targets along South Puget Sound beaches and bays. These fish are holding tight to shore during soft incoming and outgoing tides, especially at slack water when baitfish congregate. Use dark colors if the water's clear and bright – switch to brighter stuff when it's cloudy. Remember, barbless hooks are mandatory in all Puget Sound marine fisheries. Market squid have been showing up at piers from Mukilteo down to Tacoma, so if you want some evening action, grab some glow jigs and head to the docks. They feed mostly at night under lights, though daytime catches are possible when numbers are high. Lake whitefish on Banks Lake – that 27-mile reservoir along Highway 155 – is producing solid winter action. These fish commonly run 18 to 24 inches with some pushing past 30. Use shrimp, maggots, salmon eggs, or small jigs on a lightweight six-foot sensitive rod. The daily limit is 15 fish. **Winter Crabbing** Crabbing remains productive across Puget Sound. Marine Areas 4 through 12 north of Ayock Point stay open daily through December 31st. You can pull traps from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset. The limit is five male Dungeness crabs at least 6¼ inches, plus six red rock crabs and six Tanner crabs per day. Also watch for tagged crabs – if you hook one with a green floy tag in Areas 9 or 10, call the number on it. **Steelhead Update** Here's the tough news – the Nooksack River is closed for steelhead through the end of the year and all of January. The hatchery forecast fell way short, so they're protecting what little broodstock they have. However, the upper Skykomish River, especially around Reiter Ponds, is still offering early hatchery winter steelhead action. Tokul Creek is open through mid-February though fishing's restricted between 5 PM and 7 AM. **Hot Spots to Hit** If you're targeting winter Chinook in Deep South Puget Sound, focus on Marine Area 13 – Point Gibson, Point Fosdick, Anderson Island, and Budd Inlet are producing around tidal movements and baitfish concentrations. For cutthroat action, work the bays and estuaries throughout South Puget Sound on those incoming and slack tides. Get out there and make the most of those short December days.

Artificial Lure here, bringing you this Monday morning's fishing update for Puget Sound and Seattle waters. Let's kick things off with the tides. Today's looking pretty good – we've got a high tide hitting at 1:35 AM at 7.78 feet, then a low at 6:33 AM sitting at 4.99 feet. Over in Seattle proper, expect that high tide at around 12:33 PM, so plan your outings accordingly. The tides are really firing this time of year, and we're heading into what locals are calling December's first "king tides," so water movement's gonna be excellent for getting fish to bite. Fish-wise, we're in that sweet spot where both cutthroat and coho are still active in the Sound. King salmon season just reopened for nonresidents in Southeast Alaska, which means the broader region's got solid numbers moving through. The best action's typically happening during major feeding windows – we're looking at early morning and late evening being prime time. For lures, stick with your standard arsenal: chartreuse and white spoons, small tube jigs, and flashy spinners. The water clarity's decent right now, so don't be afraid to go bright. If you're bait fishing, herring and sand eels are your bread and butter. Anchovies work too if you can snag some fresh. Hot spots to hit? The waters around Elliott Bay near Seattle are consistently productive, and if you can get out to the deeper channels running between Bainbridge Island and the Kitsap Peninsula, you'll find good structure. Port Townsend waters are heating up as well – literally some of the best fishing access in the Sound right now. Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe for daily updates!

Let's dive right in. **Tides and Conditions** We've got some beautiful tidal action today. Down in Olympia's Budd Inlet, we're looking at a high tide at 1:08 AM hitting 10.15 feet, then a low at 6:45 AM at 4.37 feet.

Over in Seattle proper, expect a low at 4:45 AM around 2.82 feet, then a strong high tide at 11:48 AM reaching 11.83 feet. That midday push is going to push baitfish around and get the salmon and lingcod fired up. **Weather** Sunrise is at 7:36 AM, sunset at 4:24 PM—we've got about nine and a half hours of daylight. Current temperature is holding around 49-50 degrees with light winds around 6 mph gusting to 12. Pretty mild for late November. Water temp sits at a chilly 49 degrees, so bundle up and focus on structure where fish congregate. **What's Biting** This is a solid fishing day. The major bite windows align with tidal movement—you'll want to focus your efforts during those tide transitions, particularly around that 1 PM high tide. Salmon, lingcod, and bottomfish are your targets in Puget Sound. Recent reports indicate coho and chum are active, plus winter crab opportunities if you're looking for variety. **Tackle and Bait** Bring spoons and jigging lures for salmon and lingcod. Green and silver patterns work year-round. For bottomfish, standard bucktail jigs or shrimp patterns will produce. Live bait anglers should consider herring or squid—don't overlook crab bait either, given recent activity. **Hot Spots** Hit Elliott Bay or the points between Seattle and Bremerton where current funnels baitfish. Port Orchard offers sheltered conditions perfect for jigging lingcod around deeper structure. If you're feeling adventurous, head to Admiralty Inlet where tidal currents create excellent salmon lanes. Thanks for tuning in to the Artificial Lure report!

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 08:27:28 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI # Artificial Lure's Puget Sound Fishing Report - Sunday, November 30th Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning Puget Sound report. Let's dive right in. **Tides and Conditions** We've got some beautiful tidal action today. Down in Olympia's Budd Inlet, we're looking at a high tide at 1:08 AM hitting 10.15 feet, then a low at 6:45 AM at 4.37 feet. The main event comes at 1:07 PM with a stellar 15.51-foot high tide—that's prime feeding time, folks. We'll close out the day with a low at 8:19 PM at 1.79 feet.

Let's dive right in. **Tides and Timing** We're looking at some solid tidal movement today. Low tide hits at 4:46 AM at 2.7 feet, then we get a prime high tide at 11:48 AM sitting at 11.9 feet. Another low comes through at 6:42 PM around 3.5 feet. Sunrise was at 7:34 AM this morning, and we're looking at a 4:20 PM sunset, so you've got limited daylight—make it count. **Fish Activity and Recent Catches** Coho salmon are still the headline here. We're seeing solid numbers through late November, especially in early morning light. Recent reports show fish ranging from 4 to 8 pounds with some chunky 10-pounders mixed in. Chum salmon—the tigers—are lighting up creek mouths and river systems. We've also got blackmouth showing up at Possession Bar and Point Defiance, working deeper—60 to 120 feet down is where it's happening. The major bite windows today line up with that tidal transition around the morning high tide. Peak feeding typically runs from dawn through mid-morning, so get on the water early. **What's Working** For coho, beach anglers are swinging Buzz Bombs and Hoochie jigs with solid success. If you're in a boat, MagLip plugs in flashy green and silver or blue and pink are pulling fish consistently. For the chums at creek mouths, marabou jigs, fleshy pink corkies, and heavy yarn under floats are deadly. Herring and cured roe work year-round, but don't sleep on small cut-plug herring either. **Hot Spots** Edmonds Marina and Point No Point are delivering to both bank and boat anglers right now. Creek mouths like Chico Bay and Kennedy Creek are excellent for chum action. Thanks for tuning in to the Puget Sound report. Make sure to subscribe for daily updates.

It's Friday morning, and we've got some solid intel to get you on the water. Let's talk conditions. We're looking at patchy rain out there with temps hovering around 49 degrees. The sun came up at 7:25 this morning and won't set until 4:27 tonight, so you've got a decent window. Water temp is sitting at 53 degrees—chilly but fishable. Now for the tides, this is crucial. We've got a low tide at 3:49 this morning at 1.57 feet, then a solid high tide coming in at 11:06 AM reaching 11.45 feet. That incoming tide is gonna push baitfish around and get the salmon moving. Perfect timing if you can get out there mid-morning. Here's what's been biting lately in these waters. The blackmouth, coho, and chum salmon have been active according to recent fishing reports. Bull trout, rainbows, and cutthroats are also on the hunt this time of year, feeding hard before winter. They're keyed in on loose drifting salmon eggs and anything meaty to fatten up. For lures, you can't go wrong with egg-sucking leeches—they're producing right now. Rasticle-style sockeye lures are working well too if you're targeting different species. For hotspots, get yourself up to the Everett area if you can make the run, or stay local and work the Seattle proper zones. Both areas are holding fish.

Let's start with the tides. We're looking at a low tide at 2:36 AM this morning at 0.69 feet, with a high tide coming in at 9:45 AM hitting 11.35 feet. Down in Olympia at Budd Inlet, expect low tide around 6:04 PM at 6.94 feet and high tide at 9:57 PM at 9.68 feet. Over in Oak Harbor and Kingston, we've got similar patterns with lows around 2:50 to 2:53 AM. These are solid conditions for your morning push. Sunrise is at 7:32 AM with sunset at 4:21 PM, so we're working with limited daylight this time of year—get out there early. The fishing action has been solid recently. Blackmouth salmon, coho, and chum are all biting strong despite the wet weather we've been experiencing. The bite's been consistent enough to make this worth your time even with the rain in the forecast. For your gear, focus on artificial lures that mimic herring and sand eels—chartreuse and white patterns are working well right now. If you're running bait, fresh herring and anchovies remain your bread and butter for the bottom dwellers and salmon alike. I'd recommend hitting the northern waters around Whidbey Basin and Possession Sound if you can access them. These areas have been producing consistently for anglers willing to put in the work. One heads-up: we've had reports of invasive European green crabs spotted recently in Skagit Bay and Possession Sound, so be aware when handling your catch and crab traps.

The day started off chilly with temps around 49°F, partly cloudy skies, and light winds around 6 mph gusting to 12. Water temp is holding steady near 49°F, making for brisk conditions on the water. Dress in layers, and don’t forget those gloves. Sunrise was at 7:07 am with sunset coming quick at 4:39 pm—another short late fall window, so plan your outings accordingly. Tidal action today is classic fall drama for the Sound. According to NOAA, we saw a low tide at 1:20 am at -0.77 ft, followed by a big high at 9:05 am cresting 11.69 ft. The next low tide hits at 3:07 pm dropping to 7.43 ft, with another high rolling in around 6:43 pm at 8.83 ft. These rolling tides will give you solid opportunities to time your bait presentation near current seams and structure. Peak fishing windows today are similar to previous years—target the two hours on either side of those morning and evening tide changes for the best action. Recent catch reports say the coho salmon run has fizzled, with most fish turning dark, but a few late stragglers are still cruising through the shipping lanes near West Point and Shilshole. Trolling Ace Hi-Flies in Purple Haze or Army Truck behind a flasher, or casting Needlefish spoons near rip lines, has put the last chrome in coolers for die-hards working pre-dawn. Resident blackmouth chinook are starting to show in deeper water off Jeff Head and Possession Bar, mostly shakers, but a few keepers are being caught at 100-120 feet. Try running a 3.5" green-glow spoon or a Silver Horde Kingfisher behind an 11" Pro-Troll flasher—chartreuse patterns are notorious winter winners in cloudy water. Lingcod are in deep water and technically closed until spring, but cabezon and flounder are providing steady nibbles near rocky outcrops around Elliott Bay Marina and Alki. Drop shotting with herring strips or a white curly tail grub on light gear works well if you’re targeting the jetties and piers. If you’re hoping for a dungeness crab dinner, the season’s been spotty and green crab watch is ongoing— KOMO News reports invasive European green crabs have been trapped in Skagit Bay and Possession Sound. Not a threat to hook-and-line fishing just yet, but worth keeping an eye on, especially if you trap crab for the table. Chum salmon activity in the rivers is high, but most runs are upriver at this point, and heavy rainfall last week has made for cloudy flows in the Snohomish and Nisqually. If you’re determined, try drifting chartreuse yarn and corky combos, or float-fishing jigs tipped with prawn meat off the river banks. For bait, herring (whole or strip) remains your best bet for chinook and coho, while sandworms and squid strips do wonders on piers for flounder and the odd rockfish. Sabiki rigs at the Edmonds public pier have been producing good numbers of piling perch and the occasional jacksmelt.

The water’s running cold, but you’re in luck—the bite is still on. This morning, we’ve got patchy rain in the forecast, temps hovering right around 49 degrees, and not much wind to knock you around—just about 9 miles per hour. The water temp’s coming in at a brisk 53°F. Sunrise hit at 7:25 AM, and you’ll be casting in daylight until sunset at 4:27 PM—so, make sure you make the most of that short November window, especially as the higher tides line up through early afternoon. Tidewise, according to NOAA, low tide bottomed out just after midnight, with a solid high at 8:27 AM, ahead of another lower swing in the early afternoon. That means your best window for salmon is right at that early high this morning or that moving water around lunchtime. Folks have been reporting good action on the late coho—especially out toward Port Angeles and Sekiu, where catches have been solid. Green and silver flashers paired with hoochies are the ticket, but you can’t go wrong with plug-cut herring or a bit of cured roe if you’re running the rivers and estuaries. If you’re bobber fishing for perch—or even casting for some of the deepwater resident bass—small jigs and worms or a simple piece of nightcrawler under a float are pulling the numbers. Gone Fishing Northwest has been backing that approach all week. Now, on the crab front, Dungeness season is open and the deeper channels are giving up pots full of keepers—especially around Whidbey and the South Sound. The classic combo of chicken necks or fish heads for bait is working. The gear shops in La Conner and Langley have been selling out almost as fast as the crabbers are hauling them in. If you like surf perch, bobbers over the eelgrass beds near the docks are working; worms and small plastics are your go-to. As for the hot spots today, Langley on Saratoga Passage has been one of the most consistent. The public dock is easy access, and heavy with baitfish—the gray whales feeding close to shore mean there’s plenty of food in the water, which brings in the coho and sea-run cutthroat. Another can’t-miss is La Conner, right on the Swinomish Channel. Tidal flow there mixes salt and fresh water, pulling in a mix of salmon, perch, and the occasional bonus flounder or bass. If you’re running long, the east end of Possession Bar is worth poking around, especially for those persistent blackmouth. A quick note for boaters: the Center for Whale Research says all three orca pods—J, K, and L—have been active lately in the Sound. Give ‘em plenty of room if you see dorsal fins break the surface, and remember, where the orcas are, the salmon won’t be far off. That’s the scoop for today.

Let's start with the tides. We've got a low at 12:40 AM hitting negative 1.31 feet, then a solid high tide at 8:20 AM reaching 11.48 feet. We'll see another low around 1:52 PM at 8.14 feet, and a final high at 5:53 PM at 9.28 feet. Those morning and evening tides are gonna be prime time for movement and feeding. Weather-wise, we're looking at mostly clear skies with just 5 percent cloud cover. Temperature's sitting around 53 degrees with winds at 6 miles per hour, gusting to 12. Water temp is a chilly 49 degrees, so dress in layers. Sunrise hits at 7:29 AM and sunset at 4:24 PM—that's a short window, so get out there early. For activity, today's rated as average for fishing. Your major bite windows are from 6:45 to 8:45 AM and again from 7:24 to 9:24 PM. These align with lunar activity, so don't miss those windows. Right now, Dungeness crab is hot in these waters, and sockeye reports are coming in regularly. Focus on jigging for rockfish in deeper channels and try casting small spoons and shrimp flies for coho. Live herring and sand shrimp are working great as bait. I'd recommend hitting Shelter Cove or Case Inlet—both are consistently productive this time of year with good structure and current flow. Get out there and tight lines, folks. Thanks for tuning in and don't forget to subscribe. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

Your major bite windows are from 6:45 to 8:45 AM and again from 7:24 to 9:24 PM. These align with lunar activity, so don't miss those windows. Right now, Dungeness crab is hot in these waters, and sockeye reports are coming in regularly. Focus on jigging for rockfish in deeper channels and try casting small spoons and shrimp flies for coho. Live herring and sand shrimp are working great as bait. I'd recommend hitting Shelter Cove or Case Inlet—both are consistently productive this time of year with good structure and current flow.

Early morning tides peaked just after sunrise, with the high at 6:30 am around 11.6 feet, a midday low at 11:49 am about 8 feet, and another high swinging in at 4:05 pm a touch under 10 feet—so prime bite times hit when tides are moving, especially in the couple hours bracketing sunrise and sunset. First light was at 7:24 am, sunset comes quick at 4:26 pm, giving you a tight window to work—make those hours count, especially around the major lunar peak from 6:45–8:45 am. Gray skies and that classic damp November weather are hanging in at about 44 degrees, with patchy rain drifting over the Sound, making fish more willing to chase a well-presented bait or lure. Water temps are steady near 54, perfect for late coho, feisty chum, a bite or two from sea-run cutthroat, and some winter chinook showing deeper off Possession Bar, West Point, and Southworth. Recent reports from local tackle shops and fishingreportstoday.com show anglers still banging out coho limits near Tulalip and Edmonds, with fish ranging 5–8 pounds and the robust ones nudging ten. Chum are running strong in the mid-teens and lighting up river mouths from Chico Creek to Kennedy Creek—those big tigers are aggressive right now and well worth upsizing your gear if you want to wrestle a few onto the beach. Best bet for coho: toss classic Puget Sound hardware like the Coho Killer in green/glow, chartreuse Buzz Bombs, or Gibbs Croc spoons in blue and chrome. Pink Rotators and herring (either mooched or rigged under a float) have picked up more than a few, especially when tides swing and bait fish push shallow. If you’re after chum, drift flashy pink or chartreuse corkies and yarn, or run big marabou jigs under a float as they stage in tidal pockets. Bottomfish and blackmouth (our resident winter chinook) are waking up too. Drop mooched herring, flasher-hoochie combos in glow or green/white, or big curlytail grubs in 3 to 6 oz curlytail jigheads if you’re fishing structure. Squid are starting to stack up for bottomfish—you’ll want light jigs for those, especially around the West Seattle piers at night. Hot spots for today: - Point No Point: Solid coho bite in the morning, plus a chance at early blackmouth on the deep ledges. Toss jigs and spoons or mooch herring deep. - Chico Creek mouth: Chum salmon surge—late morning, especially as outgoing tide turns, marabou jigs and flashy yarn. - West Seattle piers: Mixed bags all day—shaker blackmouth, a stray coho, flounder and squid after dark. For bait, cured salmon roe is tough to beat if you’re targeting steelhead and cutthroat in tidal rivers. Herring remains king for salmon, squid gets the nod for bottom dwellers, and don’t overlook oily salmon scraps if you’re dropping crab pots. As always, handle wild fish with care—Chinook stocks are still below recovery numbers, so follow all regs and let wilds go to keep these runs healthy for years to This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The fall fishing scene’s in classic Seattle mode—cool, gray, but loaded with opportunities if you know where to look. Weather coming in this morning is typical late November: clouds thick, drizzling off-and-on, temps hovering in the low 40s, and that trademark Sound breeze from the northeast around 8 knots. Bundle up and expect slick decks and sticky rain gear all day. According to the Washington Marine Forecast, those winds should hold steady, and you may see a touch more drizzle heading into the evening. Today’s tidal cycles give us a textbook bite window—Seattle area tide charts show a big morning high tide peaking just before 6 a.m. at nearly 10 feet, dipping to a mid-day low by early afternoon, then rolling in another good push as evening approaches. That means strong current edges and pinch points will be stirring up bait, and that always brings predators close to structure and the beach. First light hits the water at 7:14 a.m. Sunrise proper is 7:23, with sunset closing shop early at 4:33 p.m. That leaves only a short window for productive daylight fishing, so focus on the hour surrounding sunrise and sunset—especially when that tide’s moving. Fish activity is still solid for November. Most recent catches, according to both Gone Fishing Northwest and the Puget Sound Seattle Daily Fishing Report, include: - Coho salmon holding in good numbers—average size 5 to 8 pounds, with a few 10-pound bruisers in the mix. Most consistent action has been at Point No Point at daybreak on the incoming tide, and off Edmonds Marina trolling deep for those late runners. - Chum salmon rushing in heavy, especially near river mouths like Chico Creek and the Kennedy system. These fish are aggressive and big—mid-teens are common right now. - A few blackmouth (resident Chinook) are being picked off in deeper water near Possession Bar and Southworth. Best lures and baits this week: For coho, try casting 3/4-ounce minnow jigs in silver or chartreuse, and if you’re trolling, work 3 to 4-inch spoons (Coho Killers or Ace-Hi Flies) behind a dodger. For the chum, swing marabou jigs under floats or drift pink and chartreuse yarn flies—don’t be afraid to upsize with heavier gear. Pier anglers are still hooking fish on pink and chartreuse Buzz Bombs and Vibrax spinners (size 4 or 5). If you’re still after blackmouth in the slots, nothing beats a mooched cut-plug herring or trolling a flasher-hoochie combo (glow-green and white are hot). Bank and beach hotspots to circle today: - Point No Point: Early coho and fresh chum, especially first light and slack tide. Beach casters are scoring with spoons and jigs. - Edmonds Marina: Still seeing late coho action and the odd Chinook coming from deeper trolls, especially mid-channel. - Chico Bay at the creek mouth: A chum salmon bonanza at the tide change. - Shilshole Bay Breakwater: Blackmouth and This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First light broke today at 7:17 am and we’re looking at sunset around 4:29 pm. Weather’s classic November Sound: clouds rolled in, mild drizzle at times, with temps hovering in the low 50s. Nothing too gnarly on the radar—patchy wind from the south, mostly under 10 knots—so small craft should be fine, but bring rain gear. According to Fishingreminder, we’re sitting right in the First Quarter Moon with major bite windows from 6:29 to 8:29 this morning and again from 6:40 to 8:40 this evening. Those coincide nicely with the incoming tide, which peaked with a 10.66-foot high at 12:33 pm, bracketed by lows at 4:32 am (0.59 ft) and 7:39 pm (7.15 ft). The evening high is a modest 7.48 ft at 10:31 pm—classic Puget Sound winter ups and downs. Let’s talk fish activity. November means the fall salmon runs have mostly wrapped, but late coho are still trickling in, and resident blackmouth (immature Chinook) have started biting in the Sound. Lingcod are closed for retention, but there’s solid bottomfish action to be had. According to recent local reports and chatter at Elliott Bay Marina, anglers have been landing nice blackmouth averaging 5 to 8 pounds, with the odd 10-pounder. The bite was best in the morning along rips and drop-offs. Folks working West Point and the oil docks off Edmonds picked up a few chrome-bright coho this past weekend, though those are tapering fast. Bottomfishers are scoring on big pile perch, rockfish, and the occasional flounder around pilings and structure, especially at the wharves and marinas—Terminal 37 and Bell Harbor Marina in particular have been worth a shot. Small sharks have made a showing in northern Puget Sound again, most caught by accident on herring strips or baited sabikis. For gear, trollers are finding success using 3" to 4" spoons—think Irish Cream or Cop Car pattern--behind a green or red flasher. Classic hoochies, white or glow with a herring strip, are still producing at 80-120 feet. If you’re running bait, plug-cut herring is the standard, but an anchovy rigged on a mooching setup is getting good results too. As for beach fishers and pier regulars, metal jigs like the 2oz Point Wilson Dart or Buzz Bomb in pearl and pink have drawn strikes, especially around dawn and dusk. If you’re after perch or flounder, drop a shrimp-tipped jig near structure and watch the action pick up. Hot spots to check out: - **Elliott Bay**: Still kicking out the best catch rates for resident blackmouth, especially trolling near the aquarium or outer bay, and always worth working some structure for late coho. - **West Point**: Popular for boaters fishing the tide change; troll at 80-140 feet with flashers and spoons on the incoming. - **Edmonds Oil Docks**: Shore and pier access with a shot at blackmouth or late, lost coho. - **Bell Harbor Marina and This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Artificial Lure here with your daily fishing report for Puget Sound and the Seattle area. Let's dive right in. **Tides & Conditions** We're looking at a nice tide window this morning. High tide hit at 4:40 AM around 10 feet, 6 inches in Seattle proper. Low tide came through at 9:41 AM at 6 feet, 8 inches. If you're out on the water, that falling tide between 9 and 10 AM should push some baitfish around—perfect for chasing coho and chum. Over in Port Orchard, we've got a high at 4:43 AM and a low at 9:48 AM, so very similar conditions across the Sound. Sun's up at 7:19 AM and down at 4:29 PM, so you've got limited daylight out there. **Weather** It's a decent morning to be on the water. We're looking at around 49 to 57 degrees, with light winds at 6 mph gusting to 12. Water temp's sitting at a chilly 49 degrees, which means the fish are active but you'll want to dress in layers. Minimal cloud cover too—should be able to see what's happening topside. **Fish Activity** Recent reports show coho are surging right now, and chum runs are staying strong. This time of year, both species are stacking up in predictable zones as they move through toward the rivers. You want to focus on current breaks and structure where baitfish congregate during those tidal transitions. **Best Tactics** For coho, throw silver spoons or white-and-silver Tomic plugs. The coho love reflective action when the light's low like it is this time of year. For chum, don't sleep on chartreuse or white marabou jigs tipped with herring. If you're a live-bait guy, fresh herring and anchovy are your bread and butter right now. **Hot Spots** Head to the waters just west of Long Beach if you can make the drive—it's been absolutely loaded. Locally, focus your efforts around the deeper channels near Bainbridge Island and the Ballard area. Structure is your friend. Also, don't overlook the areas around the ferry lanes where current pushes baitfish through consistently. Thanks so much for tuning in today!

There’s been some good action on the buzz bombs and hoochies for pink salmon, and the roe rigs are working well for those looking for a little extra action on the bottom. The best bait right now is fresh roe, rigged up with an egg loop to keep it on the hook, and for lures, try a pink or green hoochie with a flash tail.

It’s crisp out there this morning—typical November. Water temps are hovering right around 49°F and clouds are thin at just 5%, with light winds around 6 mph and gusts nudging 12 mph. Expect a high today near 57°F, with humidity at 76%. Sunrise came at 7:07 am and you’ll have until 4:39 pm to chase a bite before sunset. For tides, we started with a low at 12:38 am at -2.43 ft, saw the morning high at 8:25 am at a solid 10.99 ft—prime for a morning run! Next low comes at 1:43 pm (7.25 ft), and the last push is a 9.02 ft high at 5:51 pm. Today’s fishing peaks line up with the major lunar bite from 6:45 to 8:45 am and the evening run from 7:24 to 9:24 pm. If you need to squeeze it in, a minor window runs late morning from 11:54 to 12:54 pm. According to Tideschart.com, fish activity should be average today—expect some bites, but you’ll work for them. On the water, reports from The Outdoor Line this weekend say anglers are still finding quality chum salmon in the rivers, but the last coho are hanging in nearshore. With cooler water and ebbing crowds, the resident blackmouth (immature king salmon) are showing up in central sound hotspots. Lingcod season is closed now, but cabezon and flounder can keep things lively on the rock piles. A few late-run sea-run cutthroat are being caught near the river mouths—look for moving tides around the Duwamish, Sammamish Slough, and Dash Point. For lures and bait, local regulars are pulling blackmouth by trolling 3-inch spoons in patterns like Cop Car or Irish Cream, or Tomics fished slow behind a flasher. Needlefish hoochies in white or chartreuse and herring strip teasers are consistent producers. For cutthroat, try a small Dick Nite spoon or a sparse Clouser Minnow if you’re on the fly rod. Bait anglers are sticking with plug-cut herring or a chunk of squid if you’re after flounder off the bottom. For those fishing off piers in Seattle or Edmonds, a basic herring setup under a bobber or a metal jig bounced near the pilings is your best bet. Recent reports from locals and fishingreminder.com show that catches are mixed—bank and boat anglers around Point Defiance and Marine Area 10 are still hitting a few keeper blackmouth. Most fish are sub-legal, but a keeper or two have been landed in the deeper troughs. Shore fishers off the Des Moines Pier have picked up surf perch and the odd flounder. Those hitting early at Shilshole report some sea run cutts, but nothing red hot. Hatchery coho are just about done—last good bunch came through the Ballard Locks about a week back. Hot spots to focus on this week: try Jeff Head early on the flood tide for blackmouth, then slide south to the Narrows or Point Defiance for the afternoon tide change.

It’s crisp out there this morning—typical November. Water temps are hovering right around 49°F and clouds are thin at just 5%, with light winds around 6 mph and gusts nudging 12 mph. Expect a high today near 57°F, with humidity at 76%. Sunrise came at 7:07 am and you’ll have until 4:39 pm to chase a bite before sunset. For tides, we started with a low at 12:38 am at -2.43 ft, saw the morning high at 8:25 am at a solid 10.99 ft—prime for a morning run! Next low comes at 1:43 pm (7.25 ft), and the last push is a 9.02 ft high at 5:51 pm. Today’s fishing peaks line up with the major lunar bite from 6:45 to 8:45 am and the evening run from 7:24 to 9:24 pm. If you need to squeeze it in, a minor window runs late morning from 11:54 to 12:54 pm. According to Tideschart.com, fish activity should be average today—expect some bites, but you’ll work for them. On the water, reports from The Outdoor Line this weekend say anglers are still finding quality chum salmon in the rivers, but the last coho are hanging in nearshore. With cooler water and ebbing crowds, the resident blackmouth (immature king salmon) are showing up in central sound hotspots. Lingcod season is closed now, but cabezon and flounder can keep things lively on the rock piles. A few late-run sea-run cutthroat are being caught near the river mouths—look for moving tides around the Duwamish, Sammamish Slough, and Dash Point. For lures and bait, local regulars are pulling blackmouth by trolling 3-inch spoons in patterns like Cop Car or Irish Cream, or Tomics fished slow behind a flasher. Needlefish hoochies in white or chartreuse and herring strip teasers are consistent producers. For cutthroat, try a small Dick Nite spoon or a sparse Clouser Minnow if you’re on the fly rod. Bait anglers are sticking with plug-cut herring or a chunk of squid if you’re after flounder off the bottom. For those fishing off piers in Seattle or Edmonds, a basic herring setup under a bobber or a metal jig bounced near the pilings is your best bet. Recent reports from locals and fishingreminder.com show that catches are mixed—bank and boat anglers around Point Defiance and Marine Area 10 are still hitting a few keeper blackmouth. Most fish are sub-legal, but a keeper or two have been landed in the deeper troughs. Shore fishers off the Des Moines Pier have picked up surf perch and the odd flounder. Those hitting early at Shilshole report some sea run cutts, but nothing red hot. Hatchery coho are just about done—last good bunch came through the Ballard Locks about a week back. Hot spots to focus on this week: try Jeff Head early on the flood tide for blackmouth, then slide south to the Narrows or Point Defiance for the afternoon tide change.

We start with the weather—if you’re heading out, pack your rain gear and watch your footing near the water, as FOX 13 Seattle is reporting that heavy rain has hammered Seattle, leaving urban flooding and some lowland areas a soggy mess. A good chunk of Puget Sound remains under a Flood Advisory until this afternoon, but the rain should taper off later tonight. Winds in the Sound are changing up today—expect a slow start from the east, swinging south and ramping up to 15-25 knots by midday, then dropping off again by evening. If you’re on a smaller craft, that “Small Craft Advisory” the National Weather Service has posted means caution is more than just a good idea. For tides, the US Harbors chart for Seattle puts this morning’s low tide right around 7:00 a.m. with the incoming pushing up toward the next high at about 1:43 p.m. Best action will be the couple hours around that incoming swing as solunar tables suggest fish will be on the move. First light hit us at 7:12 a.m., and sunset will be as early as 4:33 p.m.—the days are short, so plan accordingly. Now onto the bite—autumn in Puget Sound means blackmouth (resident Chinook), coho, and chum salmon are all in play. According to Puget Sound, Washington Fishing Today, the runs have been decent after the October rains, and this past week has seen good numbers of coho and chums landed around Shilshole Bay, Point Defiance, and the Edmonds oil docks. Some folks are reporting bonus cutthroat trout in the estuaries and, for the bottom fishers, there’s solid action on lingcod and black rockfish near deeper reefs and structure. Tackle talk: trolling with 3-inch spoons like Coho Killers in chartreuse, or glow/green stripe, has drawn strikes from feeding blackmouth and silvers alike. If you’re anchored up or slow drifting, herring under a slip float (blue or purple label) is money—especially if you brine it first for durability. For artificial baits, try twitching 3/8- to 1/2-ounce marabou or rabbit jigs in pink or purple for chums in the rivers and estuaries. Shore anglers are also finding success with Buzz Bombs and Rotators, especially at dawn or dusk. If you target bottomfish, metal jigs bounced off the dropoffs between 60 and 120 feet are pulling up keeper lings and some solid black bass. For live bait options, nothing beats a sand dab or a chunk of squid fished deep, especially near rocky structure off West Point or on the Tacoma Narrows edge. As for shellfish seekers, while razor clamming is heating up this week on the open coastal beaches, Puget Sound’s local clam beds are closed for the season, so mind your harvest rules and always check for biotoxin alerts before you dig. Hot spots today: - Shilshole Bay: Mixing salmon, especially just after that morning tide swing. - Point Defiance: Trolling the clay banks is pulling in both feeder This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re rolling into fall prime time and it’s classic November out there—think misty dawns, crisp air, and that silver-skinned promise right beneath the surface. Let’s start with the **tides**. According to tides.net and Tide-Forecast, we’ve got a low tide at 5:54am around 2.9 feet, a robust high at 12:33pm pushing 10.2 feet, and another low at 7:27pm at about 2.7 feet. Those mid-morning to early afternoon hours will have the ebb in our favor—perfect for chasing bait and active predators. **Sunrise hit at 7:13am and the sun will duck out early, at 4:33pm**, so plan your sessions with daylight in mind[13][5]. **Weather-wise**, the National Weather Service says patchy showers moving in, so throw on your rain gear. Winds look light most of the day, but a bit gustier first thing, with things settling by afternoon—classic unsettled fall, but entirely fishable for small craft, kayaks, and beachcasters alike[7]. **On the fish front**, reports out of Washington Fish Reports and Fish Hunt Northwest say the bite has stayed strong for both salmon and bottomfish. The coho run has wound down, but some bright fish are still being caught on the move—especially around the mouths of local rivers and at deeper points. Chum are now front and center, with solid numbers pushing through the Sound’s estuaries and creek mouths. Bottom fishers have had stellar outings with **yellowtail rockfish and lingcod**. Recent charters are averaging over six rockfish per rod and healthy keeper ling in the mix, especially when drifting structure with flounder or artificial swimbaits. Black and white plastics, as well as metal jigs, are getting the job done—don’t forget a stout fluorocarbon leader[1]. **For gear**, twitching jigs in blue, purple, or green are a top pick for chum right now. Float fishing with cured roe or shrimp just off creek mouths is another go-to. Salmon still showing are hitting on herring strip, pink hoochies, and small chartreuse flashers. If you’re headed after blackmouth, try spoons like the Coho Killer in “Cookies & Cream” or “Irish Cream.” For bottomfish, 5- to 8-ounce leadheads tipped with curly tail plastics in white or glow work well. **Bait and hot color combos:** For bait, cured eggs and sand shrimp are dynamite for chums. Herring and anchovy strips are the ticket for late coho. When it comes to lures, try pink and chartreuse for salmon, black with metallic fleck for rockfish, and white for lingcod. **Catches this week:** Local guides and regulars out of Shilshole and Edmonds are still boasting quality chum hauls with a few late coho mixed in, and the occasional blackmouth reported by trollers working deeper ledges. Charter returns on the west side have been running strong: Over 70 rockfish and two dozen lingcod in a single outing this week according to Washington Fish Reports[1]. **Hot spots to try:** - **Point No Point:** Always a Nov This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re rolling into a classic brisk fall morning here in Seattle, and anglers are starting the day with cloudy skies and a chance of patchy showers—a typical November pattern. Winds are light out of the south, with daytime highs steady in the upper 40s. Sunrise hit at 7:13 am and sunset’s coming right around 4:32 pm, so remember you’re working with a pretty tight window for that after-work bite. Checking in on the tide charts from NOAA for Seattle, we’ve got a low tide this morning at 7:46 am at 0.8 feet, rolling into a decent high at 2:28 pm at just over 10 feet. That swing is prime for moving bait and firing up predatory fish, especially around points and structure along West Seattle, Bainbridge, and up towards Edmonds. Fishing reports this week in the Sound have been all about the late-run **chum salmon** and a very few holdover **coho**, with some bright fish still being pulled from the Green and Puyallup River mouths. Most of the saltwater chrome right now is chum, pushing in with every good tide. The trick has been fresh cut herring or anchovy—rig ‘em under a float or drift ‘em near the surface. Spinners tipped with a bit of scent are dynamite and folks using chartreuse, pink, or purple Vibrax are picking off the most fish. Folks working jetties and local piers from Elliott Bay down to Dash Point continue to see steady action on pile perch and shiner perch, with a few nice **blackmouth chinook** being reported by early trollers working three-inch spoons or hootchies trolled low and slow behind a flasher. Best bets are the classic green/glow or white/UV combinations. Artificial sandworms on light tackle have also produced solid catches for shore-bound anglers, and some dock bonuses in the form of squid—so don’t forget your jig if you’re sticking around after sunset. The **hot spots** right now: - **Edmonds Pier**: Chum pushing through, blackmouth caught early on, and plenty of squid in the lights after dark. - **Alki Beach to Duwamish Head**: Trollers are working bait schools for feeder chinook. If you’re looking to target deepwater species like lingcod or rockfish, remember these fisheries are generally closed now for conservation, but there’s still plenty of fun picking through flounder and greenling in 30-60 feet with small jigs. A quick heads-up: always check your WDFW regs for last-minute changes and closures as we wrap up the fall salmon season. Wrapping it up, your best action is timed around those changing tides and working the colored water where bait gathers. Pack that rain shell and grab some extra squid jigs for dusk—those little cephalopods are making nights lively all across the Sound.

The fall pattern holds strong—temps are sitting in the mid-to-high 40s under a solid blanket of gray, with light south winds at 5 to 10 knots. Rain is expected, and the ceiling’s low, so layer up, grab the Gore-Tex, and expect wet decks. Sunrise was at 6:57 AM, and sunset will come early at 4:48 PM, meaning you’ve got a narrow window for prime daylight bites—especially those powerful tidal switches. Today’s tides are working in our favor: according to NOAA, we saw a strong high around 6:49 AM (just over 11 feet), dropping to a modest low just after noon (about 5.8 feet), then a reload to a solid high at 5:32 PM (over 11 feet again). Those major swings around dawn and dinner are your ticket—predators are on the prowl when that current is moving. Let’s talk bite. Salmon continue to steal the show. Coho are winding down, but you can still get into steady numbers, especially north Sound hotspots like Tulalip, Edmonds, and Point No Point. Average catches ran 5–8 lbs last week, with some honkers pushing double digits. The key? Late coho are grabbing glow hoochies, pink-white Buzz Bombs, and 3"–4" spoons like Coho Killers behind a dodger. If you’re seeing smaller bait, scale down to 3/4-ounce minnow jigs in silver or chartreuse—deadly in low light. Chum salmon have ramped up—a mix of mid-teens pounders, beefy and aggressive, especially around river mouths like Chico Creek and the Puyallup. Marabou or flesh flies under a float, pink corkies with yarn, or drifting cured salmon eggs will get the job done. Don’t go light on hooks—chums are notorious for testing gear. Lingcod action for the die-hards is still worth a shot. Target rocky structure using big white swimbaits jigged deep, or drift live sand dab if you can find’em. West Point and Alki have given up decent numbers of sole and dab, especially on herring strips fished off dropper rigs. Steelhead are just starting to nose into the Sound tributaries. Gone Fishing Northwest says early arrivals are showing up near the river mouths—side-drifting cured roe or shrimp rigs are the move now. If you’re out for cutthroat, stick to the beaches. Try 2–3 inch metal spoons or Buzz Bombs—root beer or chartreuse gets bonus bites. Most shore anglers are seeing 1–3 fish a session; mixed sizes but plenty of spunky fighters. Crabbing? Pots are hauling steadier keepers around Port Madison and Quartermaster Harbor, especially on the incoming. Use salmon heads or turkey legs for best results; soak them off eel grass edges. As for baits: herring (plug-cut or whole) is your go-to for salmon right now. On the piers or bank, cured salmon eggs and sand shrimp will put fish on the stringer. When things slow, tip a spoon or spinner with a sliver of herring for added scent.

We’ve got classic fall PNW conditions—mostly clear early with just 5% cloud cover, temps starting in the high 40s and heading up to a comfortable 57°F by midday. Winds are light, hovering around 6 mph out of the south, with gusts up to 12. Water temps sit at a brisk 49°F. It’s a calm morning for anglers willing to layer up and chase those peak bites. Sunrise hit at 7:07 am and you’ll want to be back at the dock by sunset, which creeps in early this time of year at 4:39 pm. Plan your trips around today’s tidal swings: Seattle’s high tides peak at 9:32 am (12.2 feet) and again at 7:29 pm (9.02 feet), with lows at 1:38 am and 3:28 pm. These big exchanges get the bait moving and the fish feeding. Best fishing times, according to Tideschart, are right at first light and again just after dinner, with a solid lunar window from 6:45 to 8:45 am and another bite at 7:24 to 9:24 pm tonight. The Sound’s November smorgasbord is in full effect. Reports from local shops say blackmouth (resident Chinook) catches have improved over the last week, especially near Point No Point and Jeff Head. Most fish are in the 4–7 lb range, with the odd double-digit showing up for trollers putting in the hours. Coho are thinning, but you might still bump into a late-run silver, especially in deeper rips and current seams near Possession Bar. Lingcod and cabezon are mostly done for the season, but the odd one turns up for folks jigging deep structure between Alki and Blake Island. Rockfish action remains steady in south Sound and under piers, especially mid-day when the tide’s pulling hardest. Herring and anchovy schools are pushing in strong, so match the hatch! Your best producers remain 3–4” UV hoochies in green/chrome on flasher rigs, Silver Horde Coho Killers, or the good ol’ Cop Car spoons run 25–120 feet down. For moochers, plug-cut herring—fresh if you can get it—is drawing both blackmouth and the late straggler coho. Shore-bound anglers are sticking to sandworms and Gulp! grubs for flounder, perch, and the usual cast of bottom critters. Word is the greenling are still biting soft plastics tipped with shrimp near Lincoln Park. For baits, nothing beats natural this time of year: salted herring, sand shrimp, or squid strips are working well. If you’re jigging, white or glow Z-Man StreakZ and curly-tail grubs are hot—especially first light at Shilshole and Brown’s Point. If you’re looking for a couple of hotspots, head north to Jeff Head for trolling (watch your line angles in the tide rip), or check out the drop-offs at Edmonds Marina where the blackmouth are cruising the contour lines. Kayak anglers report solid mixed-bag action off Golden Gardens, especially on the outgoing tide. Don’t forget—a light rain is in the afternoon forecast, so pack those layers and keep a dry bag handy.

Plan your trips around today’s tidal swings: Seattle’s high tides peak at 9:32 am (12.2 feet) and again at 7:29 pm (9.02 feet), with lows at 1:38 am and 3:28 pm. These big exchanges get the bait moving and the fish feeding. Best fishing times, according to Tideschart, are right at first light and again just after dinner, with a solid lunar window from 6:45 to 8:45 am and another bite at 7:24 to 9:24 pm tonight. The Sound’s November smorgasbord is in full effect. Reports from local shops say blackmouth (resident Chinook) catches have improved over the last week, especially near Point No Point and Jeff Head. Most fish are in the 4–7 lb range, with the odd double-digit showing up for trollers putting in the hours. Coho are thinning, but you might still bump into a late-run silver, especially in deeper rips and current seams near Possession Bar. Lingcod and cabezon are mostly done for the season, but the odd one turns up for folks jigging deep structure between Alki and Blake Island. Rockfish action remains steady in south Sound and under piers, especially mid-day when the tide’s pulling hardest. Herring and anchovy schools are pushing in strong, so match the hatch! Your best producers remain 3–4” UV hoochies in green/chrome on flasher rigs, Silver Horde Coho Killers, or the good ol’ Cop Car spoons run 25–120 feet down. For moochers, plug-cut herring—fresh if you can get it—is drawing both blackmouth and the late straggler coho. Shore-bound anglers are sticking to sandworms and Gulp! grubs for flounder, perch, and the usual cast of bottom critters. Word is the greenling are still biting soft plastics tipped with shrimp near Lincoln Park. For baits, nothing beats natural this time of year: salted herring, sand shrimp, or squid strips are working well. If you’re jigging, white or glow Z-Man StreakZ and curly-tail grubs are hot—especially first light at Shilshole and Brown’s Point. If you’re looking for a couple of hotspots, head north to Jeff Head for trolling (watch your line angles in the tide rip), or check out the drop-offs at Edmonds Marina where the blackmouth are cruising the contour lines. Kayak anglers report solid mixed-bag action off Golden Gardens, especially on the outgoing tide. Don’t forget—a light rain is in the afternoon forecast, so pack those layers and keep a dry bag handy. Rain on the way usually perks up that bl This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 269 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI5286985960 Artificial Lure here, bringing you the fresh scoop from Puget Sound and the Seattle waterfront on Sunday, November 9th, 2025. Let’s kick things off with the essentials. The **tides** are working in our favor this morning. According to Tideschart.com, we had a low tide around 12:46 a.m. at -3.15 ft, with the next **major high tide at 8:30 a.m.** peaking at 12.47 ft. That will recede to a 7.84 ft low at 2:05 p.m., followed by a modest 9.97 ft high at 6:24 p.m. Fish those early high-water transitions, especially along structured shorelines and near creek mouths. **Sunrise hit at 7:07 a.m. and sunset will come quick at 4:40 p.m.** Plan your outings around those windows for best light and active fish. The day’s **tidal coefficient is low—only a 33 this morning—so don’t expect crazy currents, but it also means baitfish and target species are less scattered and easier to locate.** **Weather’s classic late fall Seattle:** According to the NWS marine forecast, expect cloudy skies, 52–55° temps, and light southerly winds at 8–12 knots. That light breeze will keep the water moving enough to bring scent and lure movement alive, but won’t turn the Sound sloppy. Visibility is good, so pack both finesse and some flash. **Fishing activity has been solid for November.** The Outdoor Line on 710 Seattle Sports reports a huge surge of returning chum in the Sound this week—over a million chums have pushed through, so local rivers and estuaries are LOADED. Along our saltwater stretches, winter blackmouth (resident chinook) action has been decent, with best catches coming at first light and again just before the afternoon drop. Some coho are still showing around Edmonds and down by Lincoln Park, but most are color-worn at this point. If you’re bottom fishing, expect **lingcod and black rockfish** to still be hungry near the deeper reefs and rock piles. Lingcod have been hitting hard on swimbaits and herring near Alki and the Edmonds oil docks; big jigs tipped with squid or scented paddle tails are both effective and easy to fish. Wikipedia notes that **lingcod are “aggressive predators”**—they’ll slam anything flashy or moving erratically right now. **For lures and bait:** Salmon folks are swinging 3.5-inch spoons in cop-car and Irish Cream patterns, hoochies behind chartreuse flashers, and anchovy or herring strip baits. Critical tip: Slow your troll and work those drop-offs hard at the top and bottom of the tide swings. For chums, twitching 1/2- to 3/4-oz. pink and purple jigs is the ticket. Don’t forget eggs or sand shrimp if you’re closer to the river mouths. Crabbing has also opened up for a bonus season, especially in Marine Area 10—dungeness and red rock limits are commonplace right outside Shilshole and over by Bainbridge. Here are a couple **hot spots** to circle: - **Jefferson Head:** Always solid for winter blackmouth, especially on the flood tide. Work the 90–140-foot line. - **Lincoln Park to Alki Point:** Early morning for coho and resident chinoo This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’ve got a chilly start with the mercury sitting at 42 degrees, climbing to a high near 48 today. The sky’s socked in with heavy cloud cover, and there’s a light rain falling off and on, just enough to keep your rain gear honest. Winds are mild at 6 mph, so sound-crossings should be easy on the hull. The water temp’s a consistent 54 degrees—not bad for November. Humidity’s high, so expect your guides to fog up a bit if you’re drifting out there before sunrise. Sunrise at 7:47 am gives you a decent window for a hot early bite, and sunset wraps up at 5:59 pm. Today’s tide swings set up well for mid-morning and late-afternoon action. High tide hits at 10:59 am (9.15 ft), dropping to a low at 3:51 pm (7.61 ft), then another high at 6:56 pm (8.14 ft). Prime fishing times fall from 4:26 to 6:26 am and then again 4:58 to 6:58 pm, aligning nicely with the lunar influence. That’s when you’ll want your bait in the water—especially around structure or current rips. Salmon is still king here. Recent catch reports from area charters and the docks point to solid numbers of **coho (silver) and a few quality late-run chinook**. Shore and pier anglers at places like Edmonds and Shilshole have been reporting steady coho action—most fish between 6 and 10 pounds, with the occasional jack running smaller. Keep an eye out for those showy jumps and, of course, the classic acrobatics when a coho hits the deck. Chinook are hanging deeper, usually in 40-70 feet, so get your presentations down. If you’re out in a small boat, try the **west side of Bainbridge Island**—Yeomalt Point, Restoration Point—or the **south end of Whidbey at Possession Bar**. Shore pounders, the Seattle piers are a great bet, especially early or late incoming tide; don’t overlook Seacrest and the Elliott Bay piers. Best lure report for today: coho continue to crush **3.5” spoons (Coho Killer, Kingfisher) in cop car and green/glow patterns**, trolled 25-45 feet down behind a small flasher. Herring—whole or strip—rigged behind a green or UV flasher is also putting fish on deck, especially for chinook. For the early birds or when the bite gets touchy, switch to hootchies (white or green) with scent; that’s been the ticket lately. Don’t forget the herring oil, especially in today’s rain. Other notable catches: Blackmouth (resident chinook) are showing as the fall transitions to winter, with a few shorts but some keepers reported down at Point Defiance and Elliott Bay. Chum salmon are pushing in and can be surprisingly feisty—try pink jigs or chartreuse marabou under a float in the creeks and estuaries for some bonus action. The bait shop chatter is all about the squid, too; the Elliott Bay and Edmonds piers are seeing nightly limits, so pack your squid jigs and headlam This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We finally get a breather after this week’s rowdy conditions. Last night brought lingering showers, gusty southern winds, hail, and even a few lightning flashes across the Sound. Storm drains had a hard time keeping up, leaving some standing water about, but thankfully, the weather’s mellowing into the weekend. According to KOMO News, we’re heading into a stretch of partly sunny, crisp autumn days starting today—with morning fog possible, especially in the south Sound. Expect highs in the low 50s, lows edging into the 40s, and light southerly winds around 5 to 10 knots. The sky will show off sunrise at 7:01 AM and sunset at 4:41 PM. Tide tables from NOAA have us riding a mixed tide today: low at 6:03 AM (0.46 feet) and 5:30 PM (0.43 feet), highs at 11:14 AM (2.59 feet) and 11:09 PM (3.02 feet). That means solid current movement late morning through noon and again just before dark. All that recent wind and rain has stirred the water, but fishing action is picking up as things settle. Reports from local guides and tackle shops say blackmouth (resident Chinook) have started showing across mid-Sound—Elliott Bay and Shilshole are giving up keeper fish for those running flasher-hoochie combos right along the drop-offs in 120-180 feet of water. Green and chartreuse are the hot colors after all this rain and cloudy water. Scent up your lures; herring strips or a dab of anise oil is bringing more hits, according to regulars at Ballard’s docks. The migrating chum salmon are plugging through the northern Sound—try Point No Point and the Edmonds oil docks. Most folks throwing purple/chartreuse Vibrax spinners or pitching cut-plug herring under a float are scoring as the tide builds. Some surprisingly bright coho are still straggling in at the beach, with a few late hatchery silvers grabbing 2.5" pink/white Buzz Bombs at Lincoln Park and the west side of Alki. Lingcod and cabezon action is slowing as temperatures drop—still, seasoned anglers tossing white curly tail jigs around the breakwaters at Shilshole and the pilings off Pier 86 have picked up a few decent fish near slack tide. For bottom fishing, Elliott Bay and the mouth of the Duwamish are best for flounder and true cod. Try a drop-shot rig with sandworms or shrimp bits—small hooks, light gear, and a slack tide window for the most bites. Crabbing is closed now for most areas around Seattle, but shrimpers are having some luck with spot prawns in deeper troughs out by Kingston when the weather lets up. If you’re looking for a couple of hot spots to try this weekend, don’t pass up: - **Point Wells**—good blackmouth action on the outgoing morning tide, with anglers trolling 3-inch silver/green spoon setups running just off bottom. - **West Seattle’s Lincoln Park shoreline**—beach casters have nabbed both coho and chums during morning twilight, especially at the mouth of Fauntle This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The sun popped up at 7:02 this morning, and we'll see it set early at 4:44 this afternoon. Short days and damp air—that’s November fishing in Seattle. Weather-wise, the marine zone is under a Small Craft Advisory until 4 PM, courtesy of the National Weather Service. Southerly winds are gusting up to 20 knots and there’s a steady drizzle with the thermometer hovering in the upper 40s. For tides, we’re seeing a big swing: high tide hit at 5:38 am with 12.4 feet, then the ebb drops to a low at 11:03 am, back up to a high around 4:04 pm, before crashing way down to -3.64 feet near 11:10 tonight. With that kind of exchange, the morning flood and afternoon ebb both give you prime opportunities to target feeding fish as moving water stirs up the bait[Seattle Puget Sound tide charts]. Fish are active. Local podcasts are buzzing about coho, chum, and lingcod stacking up all across central and southern Puget Sound, taking full advantage of the rain and cool temps. The chum have been thick in the usual drainages—Green River, Puyallup, and around Point Defiance. Bank anglers are finding coho from the piers at Edmonds and Shilshole early and late, especially on the outgoing tide[Puget Sound fishing report, Nov 5, 2025]. Boat anglers report solid numbers too, hooking into chrome-bright coho averaging 5–8 pounds, with some approaching double digits. Lingcod action has picked up down by Tacoma Narrows and the rock piles around West Point, where jigging in 60–120 feet puts toothy ones in the net[Puget Sound fishing report, Nov 5, 2025]. As for hot lures and bait, the verdict is pretty clear: chartreuse Vibrax spinners, pink hoochies, and Buzz Bombs are all taking coho, especially when tipped with a strip of herring or squid. Chum are slamming purple and green yarn flies and marabou jigs fished under a float; add a little scent for best results. Lingcod want big soft plastics bounced off the bottom—think curlytail grubs in white or blue, rigged on 2- to 4-ounce heads[Gone Fishing Northwest, Nov 5, 2025]. If you're after a specific bite: - For coho, look to the ship canal mouth, Meadow Point, or the mouth of the Duwamish on the early flood. - Target chum in the tidal reaches below the Puyallup or in Quilcene Bay, where fresh arrivals are still pushing through. - Lingcod are staging around Dolphin Point and the Alki reefs—bring stout tackle. Tulalip Bay has lit up with a hot bite recently, drawing crowds but still giving up quick limits in the morning if you can beat the wind and rain. The most productive times are that first light bite on the incoming or right as the ebb starts flowing out. Best baits up north?

Today’s sunrise in Seattle hit at 6:59am, and sunset’s dropping early at 4:45pm, signaling real November action on the Sound. We’re working with a big morning high tide at 4:44am, peaking around 11.6 feet, then sliding into a mid-morning low at 10:08am (5.8 feet), before another high at 3:20pm. That evening ebb will be prime for shore-based casting and squid jigging, with the late dusk bringing those squid in close[10]. Weather’s classic fall Puget Sound—expect cool temps in the mid-40s to low-50s, persistent cloud cover, and light northwest wind at 10 knots. Rain is spotty but not drenching, just enough to remind you it's proper Seattle fishing weather according to the National Weather Service. Salmon chatter is quiet. Puget Sound Anglers note the closure of most salmon fishing, lining up with recent reports showing sparse Chinook returns and most local runs below recovery targets. Biologists—and some hungry southern resident orcas—are still waiting for better numbers. If you’re out for salmon, focus on river mouths where late chum sometimes show, but don’t expect much. Chinook are down, and recent surveys from the Center for Whale Research underscore their importance, not only to anglers but also to orca survival. If you do find one, count it a win and snap a pic for the boat log. Squid jigging is the biggest November draw right now. Evenings around the Edmonds pier and downtown Seattle lights are firing up, especially on the incoming tide after sunset. Classic jigs in pink, green, or glow are top producers—drop ‘em under the lights and bounce gently off bottom for best results. Reports from Puget Sound Anglers say numbers are solid, with buckets filling up after dusk, especially on calm nights[6]. Bottom fishing’s a reliable fallback, with plenty of ratfish, flounder, and dogfish on tap. “Salish Current” reports ratfish are almost an accidental certainty when bouncing bait along the bottom. If you’re after flounder or sole, stick with a high-low rig baited with herring strips or squid; offshore structure near West Point and Shilshole always delivers steady action. The ratfish, bizarre as they are, make up the bulk catches on trawl surveys, so don't be surprised by their frequency. Crabbing’s closed in most spots, but don’t forget the clamming. WDFW has razor clam digs running daily through the ninth at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, and Mocrocks; Puget Sound beaches aren’t open, but the tides are right for checking legal locations. Check toxin levels before heading out—domoic acid closures are still in effect depending on last-minute tests[3]. Today’s hot spots: - **Edmonds Pier:** Squid action after dark. Lure up with pink and glow jigs for best results. - **Elliott Bay:** Early morning and late afternoon for mixed flounder and ratfish. Use herring or squid strips near the grain terminal pilings. - **Shilshole Marina breakwater:** Good bets for bottom This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

That evening ebb will be prime for shore-based casting and squid jigging, with the late dusk bringing those squid in close[10]. Weather’s classic fall Puget Sound—expect cool temps in the mid-40s to low-50s, persistent cloud cover, and light northwest wind at 10 knots. Rain is spotty but not drenching, just enough to remind you it's proper Seattle fishing weather according to the National Weather Service. Salmon chatter is quiet. Puget Sound Anglers note the closure of most salmon fishing, lining up with recent reports showing sparse Chinook returns and most local runs below recovery targets. Biologists—and some hungry southern resident orcas—are still waiting for better numbers. If you’re out for salmon, focus on river mouths where late chum sometimes show, but don’t expect much. Chinook are down, and recent surveys from the Center for Whale Research underscore their importance, not only to anglers but also to orca survival. If you do find one, count it a win and snap a pic for the boat log. Squid jigging is the biggest November draw right now. Evenings around the Edmonds pier and downtown Seattle lights are firing up, especially on the incoming tide after sunset. Classic jigs in pink, green, or glow are top producers—drop ‘em under the lights and bounce gently off bottom for best results. Reports from Puget Sound Anglers say numbers are solid, with buckets filling up after dusk, especially on calm nights[6]. Bottom fishing’s a reliable fallback, with plenty of ratfish, flounder, and dogfish on tap. “Salish Current” reports ratfish are almost an accidental certainty when bouncing bait along the bottom. If you’re after flounder or sole, stick with a high-low rig baited with herring strips or squid; offshore structure near West Point and Shilshole always delivers steady action. The ratfish, bizarre as they are, make up the bulk catches on trawl surveys, so don't be surprised by their frequency. Crabbing’s closed in most spots, but don’t forget the clamming. WDFW has razor clam digs running daily through the ninth at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, and Mocrocks; Puget Sound beaches aren’t open, but the tides are right for checking legal locations. Check toxin levels before heading out—domoic acid closures are still in effect depending on last-minute tests[3]. Today’s hot spots: - **Edmonds Pier:** Squid action after dark. Lure up with pink and glow jigs for best results. - **Elliott Bay:** Early morning and late afternoon for mixed flounder and ratfish. Use herring or squid strips near the grain terminal pilings. - **Shilshole Marina breakwater:** Good bets for bottom This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 251 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI2112129083 Artificial Lure with your Tuesday, November 4, 2025 Puget Sound fishing report, coming at you local and live from rainy Seattle. Sunrise this morning was at 6:49 am with sunset at 4:45 pm, so anglers have just about 10 hours of daylight to get their lines in. The tides are swinging nicely: we saw a low at 4:45 am down to -0.7 feet, and expect a high hitting around 1:26 pm peaking near 7.9 feet. The prime bite window today is late morning into early afternoon, with solid tidal push and lunar rise stacking the deck just right—especially between 9:45 and noon, plan your casts accordingly according to local tide charts and NOAA. Weather is signature November Sound: steady rain, full-on cloud cover, and a cool 54°F. Winds are gentle, under 5 knots from the east, and humidity is near-total. Water temps are holding cold at about 49°F, so rain gear and some fingerless gloves will keep you fishing comfortably. The marine forecast from the National Data Buoy Center echoes the local chatter—expect rain all day, with barely a ripple at 2 feet or less on the water. Despite the chill, fish activity remains solid. Late-run **coho salmon** are still rolling through—recent reports from Edmonds Pier and Shilshole Bay have been packed with locals picking up silvers averaging 4 to 8 pounds. Bank and kayak anglers are reporting daily limits if you hit the right tide, with some bonus **blackmouth chinook** (immature kings) caught outside Elliott Bay. Evergreen shorelines like Lighthouse Park and the Tacoma Narrows are giving up mixed bags: expect **flounder, true cod, and rockfish** for those working drop-shot rigs or bait along the bottom. South Sound—Point Defiance and the mouth of the Duwamish—has seen a bump in **sea-run cutthroat** and occasional bullhead. According to Gone Fishing Northwest, bullhead schools are moving shallow this week with the temperature drop. As for lures and bait, today’s theme is downsized and bold. With stained water and low light, **3-inch chartreuse and pink hoochies** with flash skirts are crushing coho. For cutthroat, classic **Dick Nites** or minnow-profile soft plastics—the Sand Lance swimbaits—are getting solid strikes. Trollers are having best luck slow-rolling **fresh herring strips**, while bait anglers around Mukilteo and Alki are seeing action with **sand shrimp under a float**. For bottom fish, nightcrawlers and squid chunks are the ticket. If you want to maximize your odds, target these two hotspots: - **Shilshole Bay Marina Breakwater**: Coho and blackmouth are holding deep and mid-depth. Metal spoons jigged vertically or mooched cut-plug herring have been the go-to. - **Edmonds Pier**: Dawn to mid-morning is best for salmon; try a blood-red spinner blade tipped with shrimp for a fast bite.

We kicked off the day with a sunrise at 6:48 am and expect the sunset to hit at 4:45 pm, giving us a crisp 10 hours of daylight on the water according to local tide charts and NOAA. Tidal movement is moderate today: low tide swung through early at about 4:45 am (around -0.7 ft), with the next high cresting at 1:26 pm, reaching about 7.9 ft. That means best fishing windows fall late morning and early afternoon, especially from 9:48 am to 11:48 am coinciding with the lunar influence. The weather? Classic fall Seattle damp—steady light rain punctuated by total cloud cover, temp around 54°F, winds gentle at 4 mph, humidity near 99%. Water temps are chilly at 49°F, so dress for wet, cool conditions and don’t forget those rain layers. Fish activity in the Sound is steady; late-season coho salmon are still being taken, though they’re getting smart, so presentation counts. Locals report solid action near Edmonds Pier and down at Shilshole Bay, with bank anglers and kayak fishing both producing. Puget Sound Beach Fishing maps confirm these spots as reliable access points for chinook and coho, while the Duwamish mouth and Point Defiance in Tacoma are showing some surging sea-run cutthroat and bullhead schools this week, too, per Gone Fishing Northwest’s latest updates. Catch counts for the weekend leaned into silver: several boats reported limits of coho averaging 4–8 pounds, with an occasional blackmouth chinook in the mix, especially outside Elliott Bay. Evergreen shoreline regulars have been scoring mixed bags—flounder, true cod, and rockfish showing up for those working drop-shot rigs off Tacoma Narrows and Lighthouse Park. On lures and bait, the ticket today is downsizing. With murky water and low light, chartreuse and pink 3” hoochies rigged with a twinkle skirt are reliable for salmon. For cutthroat, minnow-profile soft plastics, like the classic Dick Nite or Sand Lance swimbaits, are turning heads. Don’t ignore bait: fresh herring strips trolled slow or sand shrimp under a float are producing around Mukilteo and Alki. Bank anglers swear by nightcrawlers for flounder and perch. Two hotspots to hit: - **Shilshole Bay Marina Breakwater**: Coho and blackmouth are staging for out-migration; jigging with metal spoons and mooching cut-plug herring have been hot. - **Edmonds Pier**: Morning bite is best for salmon, with blood-red spinner blades paired with shrimp-tipped hooks. Pay attention to conservation—the Southern Resident killer whales are still hanging in the Sound, only 73 left per CBS News and conservation reports. Their fate is tied to salmon success, so mind closures, use barbless hooks, and handle wild fish with kid gloves.

The sun popped up right at 6:55 a.m., with sunset rolling in at 4:49 p.m., giving us just shy of 10 hours of daylight to put lines in the water before things get dark and chilly. Weather’s on the classic fall side: low 40s early, mid-50s for the high if we’re lucky, mostly cloudy and a light south breeze at 5–10 knots according to the Marine Weather Service, but no major storms rolling through. Tides are moving in steady cycles today. Our highs are at 1:47 a.m. (8.8 feet) and a heavier 1:58 p.m. (11.7 feet). Lows hit at 7:35 a.m. (2.1 feet) and 8:37 p.m. (1.6 feet), so prime bites will cluster around the early morning ebb and the afternoon fill—watch those transitions for heavy movement. The tidal coefficient sits pretty low through the morning, which means smaller currents and subtle swings, so finesse and slow presentations will get more attention. The big story on the saltwater lately has been the burst of late-season coho rolling south, with anglers seeing solid numbers around Elliott Bay, Shilshole, and down toward Tacoma’s harbors. Reports from The Outdoor Line and local forums back this up, with most boats tacking on at least a couple nice silvers per trip. Blackmouth (resident chinook) action has begun to pick up as water cools, especially off West Point and further out near Kingston, though most keepers are just under 10 pounds. Lingcod season’s closed now, but plenty of folks are switching to fall flounder and sole near the shallows off Des Moines and Alki. Pier anglers have found dependable catch rates for surf perch and smaller flatfish using bits of sand shrimp and clam, especially around the downtown piers. Squid jigging off the piers after sunset has been red hot the last few evenings—classic pink and glow tube jigs are the consistent winners for getting buckets filled. If you’re chasing coho, go with a 3-inch silver or blue-green spoon—Coho Killers and Needlefish have been the top hardware, trolled behind a seven-ounce sinker from 40 to 80 feet deep. Herring strips rigged with a small dodger are also drawing strikes in the morning on a slow troll. For blackmouth, small chrome-plated hoochies and white glow flashers are the ticket, with downriggers set tight to the bottom contours off West Point and Restoration Point. Hot spots worth a mention today: - **Elliott Bay**: Trollers are finding action near the ferry lanes and terminal piers, especially from dawn till 9 a.m. - **Shilshole Marina**: Deep water off the breakwall’s been productive for coho and blackmouth, and the public fishing pier sees steady squid catches after dark. - **Des Moines Marina**: Surprising numbers of flounder and sole within an hour after the morning low tide. Bait selection is all about matching the hatch: cut-plug herring is still unbeatable for boaters.

Sunrise is at 7:55 a.m. and sunset drops early at 5:52 p.m., so plan your casts accordingly. The weather’s calling for a gusty, wet morning with a Small Craft Advisory in effect; south winds start mild but climb up to 25 knots, so boat anglers: keep safe, hug the shorelines, and scout your leeward bays. For Saturday, November 1st, local tide charts peg a 2.23 ft low tide around 7:41 a.m., rising to a 11.09 ft high at 2:25 p.m., with another falling tide by evening[Seattle Puget Sound tide chart]. That mid-day flood brings prime water movement—fish will be active during this swing, especially around flats, creek mouths, and edges of submerged structure. Now to what’s biting. Week’s headlines have been about the late chum salmon run—these bruisers are swirling near estuaries like the mouth of the Duwamish and along Lincoln Park's shoreline. Reports from Northwest Fishing Magazine say chum catches have been steady; most boats are finding five to seven fish per outing, though some bank anglers have landed even more on strong outgoing tides. Don't overlook coho, either; resident silvers are holding deeper around Bainbridge Island and West Point, most weighing in at two to eight pounds lately. Crabbing closes soon, but pots last weekend near Shilshole, Edmonds, and Vashon were stuffed heavy with keeper Dungeness—locals are hauling doubles. For gear, match your lure to the bite: chum are slamming 3/8 oz pink corky setups or chartreuse marabou jigs, especially tipped with shrimp. Coho are switching between white hootchie rigs and mini pink spoons; troll these just above the kelp beds for best results. Herring cut-plug remains the classic Puget Sound bait for both salmon species—brined overnight for firm presentation, then run slow behind a dodger for flash. Shore casters should toss glow spoons at first light, especially after the recent rainfall has muddied the water. Top hot spots for today: - Lincoln Park south beach is putting up steady numbers of chum on both tides, with bonus cutthroat in the mix when fishing the softer pockets. - Richmond Beach is seeing an uptick in coho action—try working directly off the point during peak incoming, where the bait schools stack. - Golden Gardens jetty is productive for mixed bag: try there late in the afternoon when high water clears in, tossing jigs or plunking shrimp-tipped gear. As November pushes on, temperature drops and daylight shrinks, but that makes mid-day fishing windows extra sweet. Remember to double-check those regulations on salmon and crab before heading out—closures come fast this time of year. Thanks for tuning in to this Puget Sound fishing update!

If you’re heading out this Halloween morning, get ready for a classic chilly, gray Seattle start—temps hovering in the mid-40s, patchy fog, and some drizzle possible. Winds will pick up this afternoon, with a Gale Warning already posted from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, favoring those early birds on the water, so keep an eye on conditions—especially smaller craft (according to NOAA Marine Weather). Sunrise hit at 7:52 this morning and you’ll have daylight until 5:52 tonight. As for tides, today’s first low was about 6:40 AM at just under 2 feet, giving way to a big high at 1:59 PM—over 11 feet—then an evening low around 8:30 at a little under 5 feet. These hearty fall swings bring strong moving water—the afternoon flood tide is a prime window for hungry fish on the bite (from Tide-Forecast and TidesChart). Water’s cooling off but there’s fire in the action. We’re still catching late-run coho and the very last of the pinks higher up the Sound and in certain rivers, but much of the attention is turning to the classic fall chum salmon push. These brutes are rowdy and showing up strong from the Green River mouth up through Possession Bar and over at Hoodsport. Reports the past couple days show limits coming in the mornings when anglers find the current breaks—look for rolling pods if the light is good. Herring-pattern spinners, purple/chartreuse hoochies, and eggs under a float near river mouths are top producers. Several locals scored limits by 10 AM yesterday near Edmonds tossing orange Vibrax spinners. Blackmouth (resident chinook) are becoming more active, especially in the morning ebb around Elliott Bay, Shilshole, and Southworth. Trollers picking up 6-8 pound fish dragging green and white glow flashers with 3" to 3.5" Coho Killers or Cookies and Cream spoons 80–120 feet down. Bottomfish fans: spiny dogfish sharks are thick and providing non-stop action almost everywhere—great fun for light tackle, especially in the area south of Vashon and Point Defiance. You’ll find some healthy cabezon and pile perch in the rockier shallows. If you’re just looking to bend a rod, a chunk of herring or even squid strips will keep you busy. Lingcod are closed in Marine Area 10, but keepers are coming up further north near Deception Pass in deeper water. Always make sure you’re checking this year’s regs before targeting any bottomfish. For crabbing, it’s late in the season but pots are still pulling up firm Dungeness in West Seattle (Alki), Port Orchard, and by the Edmonds ferry dock—chicken a top bait right now. Remember, check for updates on legal areas and limits. Today’s hot spots: - **Hoodsport**: Chum thick in the salt and scent baits work best—try eggs or shrimp. - **Possession Bar**: Late coho and early blackmouth, best on the morning tide change. - **Shilshole Bay**: Steady mixed-bag action—salmon, dogfish, and good crabbing near the locks. - **Point Defiance**: Chum salmon This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Bottomfish fans: spiny dogfish sharks are thick and providing non-stop action almost everywhere—great fun for light tackle, especially in the area south of Vashon and Point Defiance. You’ll find some healthy cabezon and pile perch in the rockier shallows. If you’re just looking to bend a rod, a chunk of herring or even squid strips will keep you busy. Lingcod are closed in Marine Area 10, but keepers are coming up further north near Deception Pass in deeper water. Always make sure you’re checking this year’s regs before targeting any bottomfish. For crabbing, it’s late in the season but pots are still pulling up firm Dungeness in West Seattle (Alki), Port Orchard, and by the Edmonds ferry dock—chicken a top bait right now. Remember, check for updates on legal areas and limits. Today’s hot spots: - **Hoodsport**: Chum thick in the salt and scent baits work best—try eggs or shrimp. - **Possession Bar**: Late coho and early blackmouth, best on the morning tide change. - **Shilshole Bay**: Steady mixed-bag action—salmon, dogfish, and good crabbing near the locks. - **Point Defiance**: Chum salmon This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 235 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI4943094848 Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound daily fishing report for Thursday, October 30th, 2025. We're rolling into late fall, and while mornings start crisp, the fish and local scene are still showing plenty of life. First, your **tidal report**: Today we saw a **morning low tide around 5:34 a.m.**, with the next **high tide peaking at 1:22 p.m.** before dropping off to another low at 8:08 p.m. Tidal coefficients are sitting low, meaning only mild current, so fish might be holding deeper or tighter to structure—expect subtle shifts rather than dramatic runs of action according to Tides4Fishing. We’re in those typical short days; **sunrise was at 7:51 a.m. and sunset clocks in tonight at 5:53 p.m.**, so plan your outings accordingly. **Weather-wise**, expect typical late-October vibes. According to NOAA, it's a cool start in the 40s, climbing to the mid-50s, with patchy clouds and a slight east wind. Should be dry today, so you'll have comfortable conditions for casting. On to **fish activity**: Salmon season is winding down, but the late run of **chum ("dog") salmon** is creating a commotion in estuaries and river mouths, and local anglers are still pulling a few hard-fighting coho in open Sound. Reports from recent days suggest **chum are thick around the Nisqually delta**, and folks are still picking up some **coho in the shipping lanes** off Edmonds and Shilshole—mostly early or late in the day. The big October push of pinks is long gone; the last holdovers are now way upriver or spawned out. If it’s bottomfish you’re after, the **lingcod bite remains respectable within the 120-foot contour,** especially near rocky reefs off West Seattle and Southworth. **Pier anglers** at Seacrest and Des Moines are still landing **flounder and an occasional cabezon.** For the crabbers, Dungeness have been moving, and pots set near Alki or Possession Bar on an incoming tide are worth checking. **Recent catches**: According to Puget Sound Fishing Report, yesterday saw a couple of limits of coho salmon come off the boats trolling near Edmonds. Beach fishers reported a handful of decent chum near Lincoln Park in West Seattle, mainly turning up at dawn. Lingcod and flounder continue to bend rods along the city piers, with squid jiggers on the Elliott Bay waterfront also doing well at night. **Best lures and bait** this week: - For salmon, try a **purple/chartreuse hoochie behind a green flasher** or a **cut-plug herring**, especially if the water’s a bit murky from recent rain—tips endorsed by Gone Fishing Northwest. - Chum salmon respond well to **pink yarn flies or jigs tipped with scent** near river mouths. - Lingcod are hammering **white swimbaits and large herring** on a dropper rig. - For flounder and general bottomfish, a **simple chunk of squid or sandworm** on a Carolina rig is a go-to. - Squid jigs in natural or pink patterns have found success lately for the nocturnal pier crowd.

Let’s kick things off with the tides: Seattle is seeing a low at 4:35 am today at 0.62 feet, and a strong high rolls in at 12:29 pm, peaking near 10.4 feet, followed by a 7:04 pm low at 7.25 feet. The best bite windows fall in sync with these movements—so plan those casts around lunch and early evening. Today’s sunrise hit at 7:49 am, with sunset expected at 5:58 pm. That gives us about ten hours of daylight to make the most of a mild fall bite. Weather’s typical October Sound: 46°F with a gentle 7 mph breeze and cloud cover at just 6%. Even with the water temperature locked at 54°F, a light windbreaker is smart—morning hours will feel chilly near the water, and a little drizzle isn’t out of the question. Fish activity has been solid! Pink salmon and coho are dominating catches—according to recent local reports, it’s still prime time for those humpies, with many anglers landing limits from gravel bars and estuary runs. The Mountaineers and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife estimate more than 300,000 pink salmon running up Snohomish and nearby rivers this fall. Cohos remain active too, chasing those cooler tides, with two- to five-pounders common right now. For lures, the hot ticket remains pink buzz bombs, small spinners (think gold or pink patterns), and white or chartreuse hoochies if you’re trolling. Bank anglers have been swinging small pink jigs or using 1/8 oz spoons—especially during the major bite windows that align with the tide swing. If you’re after coho, try a blue or green flash fly behind a dodger, or toss larger spinners straight into tidal flows around creek mouths. Best bait on hand is still fresh shrimp, but cured salmon eggs are tempting those staging fish near the river mouths. Recent catches have spotlighted success at a couple of key hotspots: - Lincoln Park shoreline, West Seattle: consistent pinks in the mornings and again on the incoming afternoon tide. - Shilshole Bay Marina: hot for cohos, especially right at high tide and during dusk. You’ll also find action out around Edmonds Pier and at the mouth of the Snohomish for those late-season salmon. For the crabbers, heads up—crabs are still being pulled up in decent numbers, especially near Bainbridge Island and inside Elliott Bay. Remember, pinks are wrapping up their spawning, so treat the reds with respect and avoid wading through shallow gravel where eggs are set. Chums are just starting to trickle in, so keep an eye out for bigger, tougher fish as we step into November. Thanks for tuning in!

Out on the Sound today, we've got a classic late-October feel: partly cloudy and cool, with air temps in the upper 40s ramping toward the low 50s by midday. Winds are mild but picking up to 10 knots from the south in the afternoon, so keep an extra layer handy and watch for that breeze if you’re heading out in a smaller craft. Sunrise hit at 7:48 am and sunset’s expected at 5:57 pm, giving you a solid window for both morning and evening bites, especially with active tide movement during prime hours. Let’s check today’s tides for Seattle Puget Sound: low tide at 3:39 am (0.1 ft), rolling up to a high tide at 11:30 am (10.4 ft), then back down for another low at 5:33 pm (7.87 ft), followed by a late-evening high at 8:59 pm (8.17 ft). That strong midday high paired with a slow fall through afternoon spells out good current and water movement for chasing salmon and bottomfish all around Elliott Bay and Shilshole Bay. The hot talk this fall has been the historic run of pink salmon. Recent reports out of the greater Puget Sound area say rivers and the nearshore are flush with pinks, lighting up the waters all through October. Local anglers in the Everett and Tacoma corridors have been stacking up 3- to 5-pounders pretty much every trip, especially on the morning incoming tide. Silvers (coho) are still showing in respectable numbers around Point No Point and down toward Lincoln Park, with the best action concentrated at dawn and dusk as fish move in with cooler water[3]. Pink salmon have been smashing anything flashy, but the consistent winner is a 1.5- to 2-inch pink or chartreuse Buzz Bomb, fished with a hoochie skirt for extra action. For the fly folks, a Clouser Minnow or Rolled Muddler in pink or white will get hit, especially as the water clears toward midday. Shore anglers working classic spots from Edmonds pier, Mukilteo, and Lincoln Park are finding success with small spoons in pink or copper, as well as jigs tipped with Berkley Gulp. If you’re planning a trip for bottomfish, blackmouth (resident Chinook) are taking smaller herring or anchovy trolled behind a green or chartreuse flasher. Drop a candlefish jig or light metal near the drop-offs at West Point for a legit shot at a keeper. Dungeness crab action is still steady off Alki and Shilshole—try chicken backs or salmon heads in your pots for best results as we close out the main crabbing season. A couple of hot spots worth hitting today: - **Shilshole Bay:** Big tide swings plus schooling baitfish—perfect for pinks, coho, and blackmouth. Find the rips and fish the tide turns for best results. - **Lincoln Park (West Seattle):** Excellent walk-on access. Cast buzz bombs or twitch jigs right at the edge of the kelp beds; coho and pinks are pushing in tight. - Close second: Mukilteo Pier for its salmon mix, or for solitude, push north to Richmond Beach for a shot at late-bit This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

If you’re headed out today in Seattle and greater Puget Sound, expect classic Northwest autumn conditions: cool, damp air in the low 50s at sunrise with cloud cover holding throughout most of the day, and a breeze out of the south. Sunrise at 7:47 AM and sunset at 6:02 PM set great bookends for your fishing, and the first-quarter moon phase should help keep fish active through the tidal swings. The tides are in your favor for a productive day on the water. NOAA lists a very early low tide at -0.45 feet around 3:42 AM, the morning high rolling up at 11:15 AM near 14 feet, followed by a dropping tide to 8.7 feet around dinner, and an evening high at 8:22 PM. These strong tidal changes, especially around the late-morning high, should push baitfish close to structure and pull in aggressive salmon and sea-run cutthroat. Tides.net and Tide-Forecast.com both confirm these timings, so it’s a good day for planning those prime hours in the mid-morning for saltwater action. Salmon are still the talk of the sound, with reports over the weekend of solid coho and late chum being caught from shore and by boaters, especially near the shipping lanes and creek mouths. According to Puget Sound Seattle Daily Fishing Report, there’s a solid “Salmon surge” right now, and shorecasters have also been bagging resident blackmouth on both spoons and herring. The chum are staging strongest near river mouths—the Duwamish and Snohomish inlets are seeing real action. Troll cut-plug herring or pink hootchies in 20-50 feet, and be sure to work the color wheel: purple haze and chartreuse have been hot. Don’t overlook mixed-bag bottom fishing. Reports from FishingReminder just north in Bellevue and Meydenbauer Bay call out a steady bite on flounder, sole, and even the odd Pacific cod around docks and reefs—especially during the evening tide push. If you’re looking for a livewell filler, sand shrimp under a sliding sinker or a white curly-tail grub are your best bets near these structures. Crabbing remains worth a few pots if you’re licensed, with Dungeness and red rock still moving in the sandy channels during these fat tides. Best bets are deeper off Edmonds and at the mouth of Shilshole Bay. Chicken backs or salmon heads are working best. Popular lures right now: - **For salmon:** 3-inch Coho Killers, purple/chartreuse Rotators, and dyed herring strips on 2/0-4/0 hooks. - **For cutthroat:** olive-and-white Clouser minnows or small silver Kastmasters. - **For bottomfish:** 2-4” curly tails in white or chartreuse, or natural bait like sand shrimp and squid strips. Today’s local hot spots to consider: - **Edmonds Pier:** solid chinook and coho by mid-morning, plus great squid at night under lights. - **Lincoln Park in West Seattle:** consistent for cutthroat and resident coho, best around the 11am high tide. - **Point No Point:** always a classi This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let’s break it down like a true local, covering the tides, weather, recent fish action, and what’s working on the water right now. First, your **tide report**: This morning’s high tide hits Seattle Puget Sound at 9:35 a.m. with a solid 10.73 feet, then falls to a 7.97 ft low at 3:01 p.m., followed by another push up to 9.19 ft around 7:17 p.m. The tidal swing should spark fish activity, especially around those transitions. **Sunrise** was at 7:46 a.m. and we’ll have light until 6:01 p.m. **Weather** is chilly and classic fall—expect a damp 55°F, some drizzle, and cloud cover at 100%. Winds are brisk—22 mph, gusting up to 33, so bundle up and use caution on open water. A marine forecast from the National Weather Service calls for winds 10-15 knots, shifting to lighter SW in the afternoon, with rain on and off. It’ll keep things interesting, but keep an eye on those flags and check for marine advisories before launching. Moving to the **bite**: This week saw mixed action on resident coho and the tail end of fresh-run pinks. Reports from trusted boots-on-the-ground sources like The Outdoor Line say anglers working the southern and central Sound are still plucking a few nice late coho—especially in the morning or evenings, often close to the top of the flood. There’s also an uptick in squid jigging activity around the piers after dark, with squidders finding good numbers at places like Seacrest Pier and the Des Moines Marina. Crabbers are out in force too, hauling up plenty of Dungeness in legal numbers, so long as the pots are dropped deep enough and off hard structure. **Recent catches** have included: - Cohos running 4-6 lbs, with a few “football” hatchery fish mixed in - Resident blackmouth (immature Chinook) starting to show, especially off Jefferson Head and Possession Bar - A continued trickle of pinks—wind-down time, but still possible inside Hylebos and Elliott Bays - Squid limits coming fast at nights on pier lights - Dungeness crab pots coming up heavy south of the Narrows and off Edmonds **Best lures and bait**: For *salmon*, nothing beats trolling green or purple haze hoochies behind white or UV flashers, with a 36-inch leader. Cut-plug herring continues to outpace spoons and plugs, especially north of Alki. For blackmouth, 3” to 4” spoons like Coho Killers or Kingfisher Lites in “Cookies and Cream” or “Irish Cream” colors are top producers. Squidders are getting limits on #2.5 to #3.0 jigs in classic pink or chartreuse under the lights. If you’re after *crab*, jars stuffed with oily salmon heads and chicken legs are pulling the most pots. **Hot spots** right now: - Shilshole Bay and Meadow Point for coho on a flood tide, especially at dawn - Possession Bar holds blackmouth on the outgoing - Elliott Bay piers for squid after sunset - The Tacoma Narrows for Dungeness—just set your pots deep and watch your soak times One This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

If you’re after *crab*, jars stuffed with oily salmon heads and chicken legs are pulling the most pots. **Hot spots** right now: - Shilshole Bay and Meadow Point for coho on a flood tide, especially at dawn - Possession Bar holds blackmouth on the outgoing - Elliott Bay piers for squid after sunset - The Tacoma Narrows for Dungeness—just set your pots deep and watch your soak times One This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 259 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI9885924582 Artificial Lure here, bringing you your Saturday fishing report for Puget Sound and the greater Seattle area. October 25th, 2025 is shaping up with moody autumn vibes: the sun comes up at 7:43 am and sets at 6:02 pm, perfect for chasing that early bite or winding down at golden hour. Today’s tides on Seattle’s shores set a rhythm for your angling: low tide at 1:22 am (-0.11 ft), a roaring high at 8:47 am (11.1 ft), then low again at 2:18 pm (7.8 ft), and a final high at 6:41 pm (9.4 ft). That morning high sets up excellent water movement—expect active fish through the first half of the day, especially with a waxing crescent moon above. NOAA’s marine forecast calls for southeast winds shifting from 15–20 knots and climbing, paired with steady rain later—there’s a gale watch from Saturday evening, so boaters should keep an eye on conditions and always wear that PFD. Land-based anglers, grab your rain gear and thermos; you’ll be out in the elements. On the bite front, fall means opportunity. Salmon are surging: local catches this week report solid numbers of **chum** and **coho** moving through the Sound. Winter blackmouth (juvenile chinook) are feeding aggressively in deeper channels—these Kings stick around all year, giving you a shot at big, feisty fish according to SeattleFishing.com. Chum are stacking up near river mouths, with anglers picking up fresh fish at Hoodsport and the mouth of the Duwamish. As for gear, **herring strips** and **anchovy** cut-plugs trolled on green or purple flasher rigs are top producers for blackmouth. Coho are hammering on **pink hoochies**, small spoons like the Silver Horde Coho Killer, and twitching jigs at creek mouths during dusk. Chum respond best to chartreuse or cerise marabou jigs just off estuary sand spits—don’t overlook a slow, subtle presentation if the water’s cloudy from rain. Hot spots worth swinging by today: - Shilshole Bay: Known for strong tide flows and weekend salmon catches, especially just west of the marina breakwater. - Sinclair Inlet Marina: Safe access and consistent bites for coho and the odd blackmouth on deeper mooch setups. - Hoodsport: Classic for shorebound chum. Try twitching jigs as the tide pushes in. - The Duwamish mouth: Urban spot for coho and sea-run cutthroat; best action early as tide peaks. Don’t forget about crabbing—October pots bring in hearty Dungeness, especially around deeper ledges near Bainbridge and Point Jefferson. Chicken and salmon heads are killer baits in pots right now. The weather’s blustery, but the fish are feeding hard. Try beach-casting before the wind picks up, focus on tide swings for top action, and adjust your lure color for that post-rain clarity shift. Local shops report that green and purple flashers are selling out fast, so grab your tackle early. Thanks for tuning in to the Puget Sound Daily Fishing Report.

We’re heading into the heart of fall and today’s **tide cycle** starts with a low at 12:50am (-1.02 ft), followed by a high at 8:07am (10.89 ft), a moderate low at 1:27pm (7.28 ft), and another high at 6:17pm (10.07 ft). If you’re timing your launch, sunrise is at 7:43am and sunset wraps up the day at 6:05pm. The **weather** looks windy and wet—National Weather Service expects steady south winds at 15 to 20 knots in the morning, bringing rain showers throughout the day. Waves should stay around 2 feet or less, but keep a close eye on the forecast since Saturday evening brings another round of gusts and rain. **Salmon activity** remains the big story this week. There’s been a steady bite on coho and a late push of chum in the southern Sound. Point Defiance and the Narrows are producing limits for those braving the early morning chop. Most boaters and shore casters have had their best luck in the hour before peak high tide—keep that 8:07am window in mind. Reports from local shops say anglers landed a mix of silvers in the 3-7lb range around Lincoln Park and up near Edmonds, with some boats reporting over a dozen hookups on the drift. Considering the rain and rising barometer, switch to **bright and reflective lures**—White or chartreuse hoochies and Silver spoons are the current standouts. Try a pink mini-squid for chums or a green flasher with a cut-plug herring for coho. Early morning topwater action is best with needlefish patterns. Bait-wise, herring and anchovy remain the go-tos for trolling and mooching. Bank fishermen at Alki Beach are doing best with sand shrimp or cured eggs under slip floats. A few steelhead and sea-run cutthroat have shown up in the mouths of feeder creeks entering the Sound, especially in West Seattle and the Nisqually Reach. Nightcrawlers or small soft plastics (pink or orange) dragged near the bottom have taken the prize. Hot spots to target today: - **Point Defiance/Tahlequah**: Consistent coho and chum, especially at the outgoing tide swing. Overcast skies perfect for drift mooching. - **Lincoln Park/Lowman Beach**: Good numbers of coho staging just offshore. Casting off the point near creek mouths can pay off. If birdlife is your jam, the year of the shearwater continues! Dune Peninsula at Point Defiance is seeing regular flocks of short-tailed shearwaters and sooty shearwaters, often mixed with northern fulmars and Sabine’s gulls. Birders have spotted ancient murrelets diving after small baitfish—another sign the forage is abundant, which keeps salmon feeding aggressively. Keep safety in mind today. With wind and rain in the forecast, make sure all gear is stowed and lifejackets are on. Water temps are chilling fast and the chop can build quickly. Watch for debris if you’re running the western shoreline, as a few close calls have been reported near the ferry lanes.

Sunrise splashed over the Sound at 7:34 a.m., with sunset rolling in tonight just after 6:08 p.m. Light south winds began the morning with crisp air and scattered clouds. Temps held in the high 40s at dawn, rising to mid-50s this afternoon, with a drizzle chance late day. Dress layered and keep your rain gear handy. Tidal movement is key today—NOAA forecasts a high tide at 6:30 a.m around 8 feet, dropping to a midday low around 11:30 a.m at 5.46 feet, then climbing again for a late afternoon peak at 4:21 p.m. Anglers in the know will fish the incoming tide after that morning low; salmon cruise with the flood current, so plan to hit your favorite spot an hour before, and stick it out as that water rises for maximum action. Coho salmon remain the headliner, thick across the north Sound and running strong through the Duwamish and Snohomish river mouths. Chum are arriving in small schools—expect bites to heat up end of month. Recent catches report coho averaging 7–12 pounds, with some teens landed off West Point and Shilshole. Hiram Chittenden Locks fish ladder data confirms peak coho migration now, so it’s prime time to cast for silver. Out on the water, herring—either live or cut plug—has outperformed lately; drift them on a barbless stinger for best results (local YouTube anglers showed big fish netted using this method this week). Trollers should run maglips or small spoons behind flashers at 40 to 70 feet, dead slow. Early migrators respond to feeding triggers, so the roll and wobble matter: flashers with green or chartreuse paddles, leaders 36–54 inches, and bait trolled at a brisk walk. Terminal areas favor pink hoochies with short leaders—longtime guides swear by the “Qualicum Special” (Purple Haze hoochie with an MP2 insert). Territorial aggression drives coho bites now, so downsizing and keeping lures visible is working around Mukilteo and Point No Point. Don’t overlook Dungeness crab—pots filled up fast last week, especially near Alki and Vashon Island edges. Chicken and herring are top bait, but mix in fish heads if you’ve got ‘em from today’s fillet job. Rockfish and perch are biting well for shore anglers along Edmonds jetty using three-hook drop shot rigs. Toss worms or shrimp bits for steady action; the perch are chunky and schooling. For hot spots, West Point saltwater access remains productive for coho all week—troll the drop-off at flood tide with cut plug herring. Ballard Locks continues to be a draw for salmon-watchers and river mouth casting. Further north, Point No Point and the waters off Kingston have seen consistent coho and the first push of chum. For crabbers, the east side of Vashon is prime. Fresh rumors of small shark catches are circulating in northern Sound but remain incidental—bycatch in deeper waters.

Seattle’s tidal activity is running high—expect strong currents with a morning high tide at 6:48 a.m. (10.8 ft), midday low at 12:12 p.m. (6.0 ft), and another high tide at 5:25 p.m. (10.5 ft). Good water movement means combative fish, especially near the mouths of rivers and harbors where bait piles up. According to Tides4Fishing, the coefficient today is 82, putting us in the prime range for big swings and energetic bites. **Weather:** Mild, typical mid-fall sets the scene, with cloudy skies and scattered drizzle predicted. Light winds, mostly from the southwest, calm but keeping clouds hanging low. Temp hovers in the upper 40s to low 50s. No major systems pushing through, so expect easy boating and good visibility until dusk. NOAA’s marine forecast shows stable conditions—no nasty chop, but bring that rain gear for passing squalls. **Fish Activity:** We’re in the tail-end of historic salmon runs—coho are transitioning from saltwater to rivers, but plenty remain in nearshore waters. Chinook reports taper, but a few fresh kings still cruise the deeper shipping channels. Recent catches have been solid, with anglers near Edmonds, Shilshole, and Point Defiance reporting limits of bright coho averaging 5-8 lbs, with the occasional 10-pounder. Beach cast reports from Lincoln Park and near Mukilteo pier show coho are aggressive on the change in tide, especially early and late. **Best Lures & Baits:** Holy Moly Outdoors highlights their top-5 coho jigs for this transitional season—try palmered marabou jigs with rabbit fur tails, blue and black colors with a hot pink or chartreuse Mad River worm tail. These combos breathe in the current and get coho fired up, especially when retrieved erratically. Rubber-skirted bass jigs with soft-plastic tails also produce. For trolling, mini-hoochie squids behind a white flasher or classic green/blue spoons. If you’re soaking baits, cured herring or anchovy get most consistent results, especially when fished off deep mooching rigs on the ebb. Gone Fishing Northwest also recommends Buzz Bombs in pink and chartreuse for pink salmon and aggressive coho. **Hot Spots:** Edmonds Pier has seen hot salmon action at high tide, with major bite windows aligning with tidal peaks. Shilshole Marina area—especially the north end—continues to produce both boat and bank limits, with bigger coho pushing through. Point Defiance is firing on afternoon outgoing tides, and the Green River mouth has also delivered scattered chinook and tons of silvers for those fly fishing or throwing jigs. If you’re more crab-minded, crabbing remains excellent just outside the shipping lanes off Alki and north Bainbridge. **Other catches:** Lingcod are out of season, but black rockfish and kelp green This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

This is Artificial Lure with your Puget Sound fishing report for Tuesday, October 21st. Let's talk tides first. We've got a high tide at 6:00 AM at 8.99 feet, followed by a low at 11:09 AM dropping to 4.79 feet. Another high comes in at 4:43 PM reaching 9.71 feet, and we'll see a late night low at 11:40 PM hitting negative 0.26 feet. That tidal coefficient of 83 to 85 means we're looking at strong tidal movements today, which is going to get those fish active. Sunrise was at 7:37 AM and we'll see sunset around 6:11 PM, giving us just over 10 hours of daylight to work with. Now for the good stuff. Pink salmon are absolutely surging right now in the Sound. We're seeing historic runs this fall, with salmon staging heavily at creek mouths. If you're targeting pinks from the beach, hoochies and buzz bombs are your go-to lures. The bright colors are working especially well in these conditions. For those of you after Dungeness crab, the conditions are prime. Focus your efforts in the deeper channels during these strong tide swings. The crabs are moving and feeding aggressively. Hot spots to hit today: First, check out the waters around the creek mouths along the eastern shoreline. The salmon are stacked up there waiting to move. Second, Carr Inlet has been producing consistently, especially around Horsehead Bay where the tidal action really concentrates the baitfish and brings in the predators. Weather-wise, we're looking at typical October conditions with some moisture in the air, so dress in layers and bring your rain gear. That wet weather actually helps with the fishing, keeping the water oxygenated and the fish active. For lures, stick with your pink and silver hoochies for salmon, and if you're jigging, those buzz bombs in chartreuse and pink are absolutely crushing it. Live bait anglers should focus on herring and sand shrimp for the best results. The key today is timing your fishing around those tide changes. That morning low around 11 AM and the evening high at 4:43 PM are going to be your prime windows when the fish are feeding most actively. Get out there and make it happen!

Let’s get right to what local anglers are seeing, where it’s biting, and what tackle’s turning heads. First up, the **conditions**: we're waking up to south winds at 5–10 knots across most of the central Sound, with morning showers lingering on and off (National Weather Service Marine Forecast). Waves are holding at 1–2 feet, settling out by midday, which should make afternoon fishing comfortable. Weather is classic October—chilly, damp, and variable, so bring that rain jacket and your patience. Sunrise is 7:36am and sunset is 6:11pm (Seattle Tides – Puget Sound), giving us a solid fishing window from first light to just about dinnertime. **Tides are prime** for targeting salmon and bottomfish today. The morning high hits at 5:24am (9.1 ft), the low at 10:54am (4.1 ft), and the afternoon high cycles in at 4:43pm (10.1 ft) before a near-zero slack at 11:24pm (Seattle Tides). With a substantial swing, expect fish to push up onto structure and funnel into creek mouths—classic fall staging. Let’s talk **fish activity**: Pink salmon are surging up the Sound, staging thick at creek mouths. Several locals reported solid catches near the mouths of Pipers Creek and Kennedy Creek over the weekend, with coho mixed in and the occasional bright chinook making a final run (Puget Sound Seattle Daily Fishing Report). In South Sound, cutthroat trout and resident blackmouth salmon are on the prowl—Cutts Island and the waters off Dash Point are producing for folks trolling and casting hardware (CoastView). Catch reports from Saturday and Sunday put pinks top of the leaderboard, especially for shore anglers using pink Buzz Bombs or small spoons. Boaters drifting herring at mid-depth or trolling flashers with white hootchies also took good numbers of coho and the odd chinook—mostly 24–28 inches, fresh and tight to the shore. As for **lures and baits**: - For pinks and coho, throw **pink** or **chartreuse Buzz Bombs**, Rotators, or Coho Killers. - Bait fishermen scored with **green-label herring** rigged below dodgers at 35–55 feet. - For cutthroat, try **small needlefish spoons** or live sand worms on ultralight gear off gravel beaches. - Bottomfishers jigging off Elliott Bay and Alki found flounder and a few keeper rockfish using curly-tail grubs tipped with squid. If you’re after saltwater trout, don’t miss the Derby lakes stocked until the end of October (WDFW Trout Derby info). **Hot spots for today**: - The mouth of Pipers Creek in Carkeek Park—salmon staging now. - Dash Point Pier—coho and sea-run cutties in the mix. - Shilshole Marina breakwater—solid resident blackmouth bite on the morning tide. Quick tip: With the showers, fish deeper and slow your presentation. Salmon will move shallow near creek mouths on a rising tide, so time your casts for those periods. That wraps it for today!

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 07:45:03 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your Monday, October 20th, live fishing report for Puget Sound and Seattle. Let’s get right to what local anglers are seeing, where it’s biting, and what tackle’s turning heads. First up, the **conditions**: we're waking up to south winds at 5–10 knots across most of the central Sound, with morning showers lingering on and off (National Weather Service Marine Forecast). Waves are holding at 1–2 feet, settling out by midday, which should make afternoon fishing comfortable. Weather is classic October—chilly, damp, and variable, so bring that rain jacket and your patience. Sunrise is 7:36am and sunset is 6:11pm (Seattle Tides – Puget Sound), giving us a solid fishing window from first light to just about dinnertime. **Tides are prime** for targeting salmon and bottomfish today. The morning high hits at 5:24am (9.1 ft), the low at 10:54am (4.1 ft), and the afternoon high cycles in at 4:43pm (10.1 ft) before a near-zero slack at 11:24pm (Seattle Tides). With a substantial swing, expect fish to push up onto structure and funnel into creek mouths—classic fall staging. Let’s talk **fish activity**: Pink salmon are surging up the Sound, staging thick at creek mouths. Several locals reported solid catches near the mouths of Pipers Creek and Kennedy Creek over the weekend, with coho mixed in and the occasional bright chinook making a final run (Puget Sound Seattle Daily Fishing Report). In South Sound, cutthroat trout and resident blackmouth salmon are on the prowl—Cutts Island and the waters off Dash Point are producing for folks trolling and casting hardware (CoastView). Catch reports from Saturday and Sunday put pinks top of the leaderboard, especially for shore anglers using pink Buzz Bombs or small spoons. Boaters drifting herring at mid-depth or trolling flashers with white hootchies also took good numbers of coho and the odd chinook—mostly 24–28 inches, fresh and tight to the shore. As for **lures and baits**: - For pinks and coho, throw **pink** or **chartreuse Buzz Bombs**, Rotators, or Coho Killers. - Bait fishermen scored with **green-label herring** rigged below dodgers at 35–55 feet. - For cutthroat, try **small needlefish spoons** or live sand worms on ultralight gear off gravel beaches. - Bottomfishers jigging off Elliott Bay and Alki found flounder and a few keeper rockfish using curly-tail grubs tipped with squid.

Lines in early, folks—**sunrise is at 7:36AM and sunset rolls in at 6:16PM** near Olympia, so you’ve got a solid day ahead to chase those fall fish. Classic autumn weather is back with rain on tap and a cool SW breeze of 15 to 20 knots this morning, easing off a bit in the afternoon. Waves are mellow, around 2 feet or less, but keep your rain gear handy because that Puget Sound drizzle is sticking around, especially early according to the National Weather Service. **Tidal action is rolling:** - **High** at 4:23AM, hitting 8.04 feet - **Low** at 9:48AM, down to 3.35 feet - **Another bullish high at 3:59PM at nearly 10 feet** - **Low again at 10:39PM at 0.92 feet** Slack tides near dawn and mid-afternoon—prime time for salmonid ambushes. **What’s biting?** This weekend, it’s all about the **chum and coho**. The rains have filled the creeks, bringing in big pods of OP coho—Mike Zavadlov of MikeZsguideservice.com says these fish are pushing hard, and Jeff Head saw a solid day of hook-ups just yesterday. Googly-Eye Fishing reported three nice chum landed at Jeff Head using a slow troll, working the current with a westward traverse during the running tide. Local legends Tom "Nelly" Nelson and Joe Pyburn on The Outdoor Line radio show noted that the action is consistent around typical mid-Sound hotspots, and with a forecast calling for a monster pink run this year, there’s extra life offshore too. For **best results:** - **Lures:** Go classic—chartreuse flashers and purple haze hoochies are money for coho, while anything with a green or blue tinge seems to trigger chums. When the bite is tough, switch to anchovy or herring strips behind a dodger. - **Bait:** Salted herring and UV-treated anchovies are hot right now—Ray’s Bait in Ballard has the freshest batch in town. - **Rigs:** For coho, try 36-inch leaders behind an 8-inch flasher. Chum prefer a slower presentation; try a pink mini-hoochie and add scent. **Reports from the north Sound** have seen the occasional small shark in accidental catches, but the focus remains on salmon, with consistent numbers being pulled out around Possession Bar and Kingston. This week has seen a solid average: most boats are getting at least a couple coho and a handful of chum, with a bonus stray pink mixed in. If you’re chasing something different, resident blackmouth chinook (immature kings) are showing in pockets from Shilshole down to Des Moines, especially on the early high tide—try a 4-inch spoon in white or herring aid pattern. **Hotspots:** - **Jeff Head:** Strong reports of chum and coho action, best north/south drifts then turning west on the troll. - **Possession Bar:** Always a classic—converging currents stack the fish. Try the east edge on the afternoon push. - **Point No Point:** Good for the swing—you’ll have competition, but so do the fish!

First light is just creeping over the Olympic peaks—sunrise at 7:30 a.m. and we’ll wrap it up with sunset at 6:15 p.m. for those long-liners and dock dawdlers. Your local fishing report, straight from Artificial Lure, with all the details you need to get tight lines in Puget Sound. Let’s talk weather, because no angler should ever leave the dock unprepared. Today’s forecast is classic Seattle October—overcast, a light chop, and a gentle southwesterly breeze. No major storms brewing, but enough cool in the air to keep you reaching for that extra layer. The tide is just starting to move—low at 7:22 a.m. with 1.55 feet at Discovery Bay, high at 2:23 p.m. at 5.68 feet. That incoming tide midday? Prime time for hungry fish and hungry anglers alike. We’ve heard reports from across the Sound of a historic salmon run, with chum and pink staging at creek mouths and estuary drop-offs. The folks at QuietPeriodPlease have been tracking salmon stacking up in the Green, Duwamish, and Puyallup outflow zones. Pink salmon have surprised everyone with their surge this fall—silvery bright and feisty, just aching for a fight. And chum? According to local insiders, the run’s underway but fish are spread thin and competition is fierce, so patience and persistence will pay off. Over on the Union River, summer chum counts have just wrapped and biologists are smiling—numbers are up, but those fish are upriver now, leaving the salt for the rest of us to chase. Saltwater jigging has been the ticket for pinks—flashy gear like coho killers, pink Buzz Bombs, and spoons in the 2.5 to 3.5-inch range. For chum, try hoochie rigs tipped with herring or a scent-soaked yarn fly. The old-timers down at the marina swear by chartreuse, pink, and blue, and who am I to argue? If you’re after Dungeness crab, winter season started this month and the catch is strong—local Coupeville crabbers pulled 36 in one haul just this week, but remember, only male crabs with a hard shell over six and a quarter inches are legal to keep. Turkey legs, chicken drumsticks, or even a fish carcass in your pot will get those crustaceans crawling in—just be sure to have your license and crab card on you. Hot spots? Here’s a couple to set your sights on. For salmon, swing by the Point Defiance Boathouse—fish are hugging the drop-off as the tide comes in. The Alki Point ledge is another local favorite, especially for pinks with a few coho mixed in. If you’re hunting Dungeness, drop your pots off Polnell Point in Saratoga Passage, but be sure to mark your gear and check those pots quick—crabs have a way of walking out if you leave them too long. Best bait? Fresh herring or sand shrimp for salmon, no contest. But if you’re feeling fancy, that turkey leg in your crab pot does double duty—tasty for you, even tastier for the crabs. For artificials, never leave home without those Buzz Bombs, spoons, and hoochies. Fish activity is solid, folks.

Sunrise hit at 7:27 a.m. and sunset will be rolling in at 6:18 p.m., giving us a good window of daylight to chase those autumn fish. Seattle’s tides saw a low at about 3:35 a.m., building to high at 10:14 a.m., with another low expected early in the evening. Tidal swing is moderate today, which means you’ll need to hunt around for moving water—find those tide rips near points and creek mouths for the best action, but leave the heavy gear at home because currents are mild, and waves are no more than a light two-foot chop in the main sound, as reported this morning by the National Weather Service Marine Forecast. Let’s talk fish: the real headline is the sockeye comeback up north on the Baker River, with nearly 92,000 sockeye returning this season, according to the Upper Skagit Indian Tribe. While most of those are miles from Seattle, it’s big news for the entire sound—run timing is trickling later, and even though the Baker sockeye are mostly upriver now, their cousins could be staging near river mouths or working deeper channels. Silvers (coho) are still being caught—though most are scattered, there are good reports from Edmonds down to Lincoln Park. Morning ebb and the last bit of flood seem to be the ticket. Resident blackmouth (immature chinook) action has picked up in deeper water off Jeff Head and Southworth. And if you’re itching for something different, the usual mixed bag of flounder, perch, and even the odd spotted ratfish are turning up near bottom structure—scientists at the University of Washington just discovered real teeth on the heads of these weird little chimaeras, making them the stuff of local legend and late-night fish tales. As for what’s been biting this week: boats working the rips off Point No Point have reported half-limits of hatchery coho, mostly running 4-6 pounds, with a few short chinook still in the mix. Shore anglers at Alki and Lincoln Park flipped buzz bombs and twitching jigs for a solid handful of late coho, especially during first light and late dusk. Lingcod and rockfish are slow, but juvenile cabezon have been showing closer to shore rocks. If you’re rigging up, best lures today remain the classics—try a green or white hoochie behind an 11-inch flasher for salmon if you’re trolling, or cast pink-patterned buzz bombs and curly-tail jigs from shore. For bait, nothing beats a plug-cut herring, but if you’re fishing from the beach, sand shrimp and nightcrawlers are catching the usual fall surf perch and flounder. Don’t forget prospecting with small swimbaits for searun cutthroat around creek mouths—they’re starting to stage and looking for an easy meal before heading upstream.

Let’s get right to what local anglers need to know for a productive day near Seattle. First, **weather and marine conditions**: National Weather Service expects mostly calm winds this morning—northerly at 5 to 10 knots and waves around 2 feet or less in Puget Sound and Hood Canal. Afternoon clouds may build, but the day looks mostly dry, with only a chance of light rain late tonight. Dress for those shifting fall temps; expect upper 40s early, climbing into the mid-50s by midday. **Sunrise hit at 7:30 a.m. with sunset at 6:21 p.m.** That means your best dawn bite window will hit just after lines can be legally wet, and you’ll have solid evening light for those last casts along shadow lines. **Today’s tide chart for Seattle shows a low at 6:23 a.m. (0.6 ft), high at 2:27 p.m. (11.1 ft), and another low at 8:39 p.m. (5.7 ft)**, so plan to fish the incoming for active predators chasing bait[11]. Current seams, rip lines, and the mouths of local creeks should be moving water and drawing hungry fish. **What’s biting?** This cooling October water has kicked up the fall coho (silver salmon) bite. Silvers are schooling at first light along main channel points and rip currents. Work your presentations early along structure and tide rips. The coho run has been steady, with local reports of most boats landing 2–4 fish per outing. Fish are averaging 5–7 pounds but don’t be surprised by a 10-pounder in the mix. Some bigger hooknose silvers have come from deeper water just north of Shilshole and off Edmonds. Chum salmon are showing in the lower reaches; numbers are building but expect the main push near local rivers in the coming weeks. Early chums will take flashy high-contrast patterns, especially after a freshet; think black/purple jigs under floats or big chartreuse spinnerbaits when the water is a little off-color. In the salt, resident blackmouth (immature Chinook) are in modest numbers, mostly on the southern end near Point Defiance, but also available from Jefferson Head to Possession Bar, especially on the turn of the incoming. Lingcod season is closed now, but some hungry flounder and pile perch are still available for those bottom-bouncing a chunk of herring or sandworm off piers and docks. **Go-to tackle:** For coho, twitching 3/8-ounce marabou jigs in pink/white, purple, or chartreuse are hot—twitch with aggressive sweeps and pause, especially near kelp edges or rocky points. Small 2- to 3-inch spoons (Coho Killers, Puget Pounders) in silver or neon finishes are scoring well trolled at 40–60 feet behind a dodger or flasher. For chum, switch to bright chartreuse and black or pink patterns, weighted for drift, and hit creek mouths after rain. Early-morning topwater poppers or flashy spinners can draw out aggressive takes from coho around rip lines. **Best baits:** Plug-cut herring or anchovy—brined to toughen them up—remains a classic, especially fo This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let’s get right to what matters for your fall angling. The tides are looking textbook for a productive day. At Whidbey Island, we’re running a strong morning high tide peaking just after 8 a.m., which will back off going into midday and start building again later, perfect for chasing salmon and bottom fish as the bait gets funneled through the rips and rocky outcrops. Sunrise cracked at 7:23, and sunset comes early tonight at 6:29 – so make those daylight hours count, especially with the bite best at dawn and dusk according to Fishingreminder. Weather’s holding true to classic Sound fall—overcast skies and a light south breeze, with temps nudging into the lower 50s. No real rain threat during the windows you want to fish, making it comfortable if you’re working the beach or drift fishing from a skiff. The fall bite is officially on across the Sound. Coho are still absolutely the headliner – schooling along point structure and current seams at first light and taking twitching jigs, copper and green spoons, or a well-worked pink hoochie. Silver numbers have been robust this week, with limits common around Edmonds and Mukilteo, and quite a few good fish (5–8 lbs) running near the Shipwreck and Possession Bar. For chinook, most retention spots are closed, but there’ve been bonus blackmouth showing up for catch-and-release, especially around Point Defiance and south Bainbridge where anglers drifting cut-plug herring have found action during the tidal swing, according to Spreaker’s local report. If you’re working from shore, now’s the time to focus on estuary mouths. Rain pulses have started showing some early chums moving in—the first decent pods have been seen staging at Chico Creek and the Nisqually. Best bets there are darker marabou jigs or chartreuse/cerise yarn flies fished under a float. Don’t forget about that fall smorgasbord: Lingcod and cabezon are closed, but you can work pilings and rocky edges for solid numbers of flounder and perch. A 3-hook drop-shot rig baited with pieces of sand shrimp or squid is the local’s pick for a fun, action-packed couple hours, just off the piers at Shilshole or Des Moines. And for those after a crustacean treat, Dungeness crab pots are doing well off Alki and Camano flats—mackerel slabs and chicken remain the top baits.

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 07:31:32 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound Fishing Report for Sunday, October 12th, 2025, serving up today’s fresh scoop for Seattle and the surrounding waters. Let’s get right to what matters for your fall angling. The tides are looking textbook for a productive day. At Whidbey Island, we’re running a strong morning high tide peaking just after 8 a.m., which will back off going into midday and start building again later, perfect for chasing salmon and bottom fish as the bait gets funneled through the rips and rocky outcrops. Sunrise cracked at 7:23, and sunset comes early tonight at 6:29 – so make those daylight hours count, especially with the bite best at dawn and dusk according to Fishingreminder. Weather’s holding true to classic Sound fall—overcast skies and a light south breeze, with temps nudging into the lower 50s. No real rain threat during the windows you want to fish, making it comfortable if you’re working the beach or drift fishing from a skiff. The fall bite is officially on across the Sound. Coho are still absolutely the headliner – schooling along point structure and current seams at first light and taking twitching jigs, copper and green spoons, or a well-worked pink hoochie. Silver numbers have been robust this week, with limits common around Edmonds and Mukilteo, and quite a few good fish (5–8 lbs) running near the Shipwreck and Possession Bar. For chinook, most retention spots are closed, but there’ve been bonus blackmouth showing up for catch-and-release, especially around Point Defiance and south Bainbridge where anglers drifting cut-plug herring have found action during the tidal swing, according to Spreaker’s local report. If you’re working from shore, now’s the time to focus on estuary mouths. Rain pulses have started showing some early chums moving in—the first decent pods have been seen staging at Chico Creek and the Nisqually. Best bets there are darker marabou jigs or chartreuse/cerise yarn flies fished under a float. Don’t forget about that fall smorgasbord: Lingcod and cabezon are closed, but you can work pilings and rocky edges for solid numbers of flounder and perch. A 3-hook drop-shot rig baited with pieces of sand shrimp or squid is the local’s pick for a fun, action-packed couple hours, just off the piers at Shilshole or Des Moines. And for those after a crustacean treat, Dungeness crab pots are doing well off Alki and Camano flats—mackerel slabs and chicken remain the top baits. Hot spots to put on your list: - The Edmonds Oil Dock and rip lines off Possession Bar for coho at daybreak. - Point Defiance Clay Banks for that mid-morning push with herring. - Chico Bay for chum hunters on the incoming tide. - For easy-access mixed bag, try Seacrest Park or Des Moines Marina piers.

Get your rain gear handy—today’s weather is classic fall Sound: showers expected, south winds at 5-10 knots with waves about 2 feet or less. Wind’s forecast to pick up a bit in the afternoon, perfect for getting some water movement to stir up the bite. Sunrise hit at 7:24 AM and sunset’s at 6:28 PM, giving plenty of daylight for casting or dropping pots. Let’s talk tides: we started the day with a low tide around 1:58 AM at -1.71 feet, then a solid high at 9:28 AM peaking around 10.17 feet. Expect another low at 2:40 PM down to 6.69 feet, and we’ll finish off with a 9.25-foot high at 7:17 PM. Timing matters, so if you’re chasing salmon or bottom fish, focus your effort an hour before and after those tide swings. Those moving waters are prime for active bites, so fish smart around those changes. If you’re heading out for Dungeness crab, the fall season is rolling strong and catches have been downright bountiful. Folks have been hauling up limits—just remember, five male keepers per license, each at least six and a quarter inches with a hard shell. Turkey legs and salmon heads are top baits in the pots these days, according to local crabbing crews. Salmon action is still buzzing about that historic pink salmon run this year, with nearly eight million fish estimated throughout the Sound and up the rivers, but the tail end is upon us. Some late coho are showing up too, especially around the mouths of major systems like the Duwamish and the Snohomish. Recent catches near Edmonds Marina and Point No Point include chunky silvers and a few persistent pinks. Anglers are doing well trolling herring—blue label size is hot right now—with a small dodger or flasher, or working pink and chartreuse hoochies when the water’s a bit cloudy. Speaking of cloudy, the water’s still a little turbid from the week’s wind and rain. That means scent is king—try tipping your spoons with a bit of herring strip or using scent gels. Shore anglers are finding success at Shilshole Bay’s public pier and Lincoln Park with buzz bombs in pearl-pink and green, or tossing marabou jigs when the schools move in on the incoming tide. For the bottom dwellers—lingcod and rockfish—action continues strong in deeper structure off Alki Point and around the Edmonds oil docks. Leadhead jigs with twin-tail grubs in rootbeer color are getting hammered, especially near the drop-offs at dawn and dusk. Don’t overlook a chunk of squid or herring on a dropper rig for a mixed bag. And hey, keep your eyes peeled for some of the Sound’s odder residents, like the Pacific spiny lumpsucker. These little guys thrive in eelgrass beds and protected coves—they’re not a target species, but always a treat to spot by divers and curious anglers near shallow rock piles. Today’s hot spots: - Point No Point for salmon—troll herring shallow in the morning, deeper at mid-day. - Edmonds Marina breakwa This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Salty air greeted us early as sunrise hit at 7:21am this morning, with a crisp autumn chill hanging over Seattle. Sunset tonight will come at 6:28pm, so plan those evening sets accordingly. Weather-wise, it’s classic fall Northwest with patchy low clouds, a fine marine layer hugging the coastlines, and air temps in the mid-50s warming slightly by noon. Light wind out of the southwest around 4-7 knots means calmer waters, but stay prepped for shifting squalls blowing in off Elliot Bay. Tides are running dramatic today: the first notable low of -2.5 feet hit just after 1am, flipping to a strong incoming high around 8:30am at 11.6 feet, then ebbing again to 6.4 feet near 2pm, with the final push back up to 11.4 feet just after 7pm. That means swift-moving current windows—perfect for those who like to work a spoon or drift bait on the tidal swings, but pay close attention to your footing and anchor lines. Tides4Fishing points out the coefficient is a robust 83, so tidal movement and current seams will concentrate bait and predators. On the catch front, it’s been a wild week. According to Columbia Basin Bulletin, we’re seeing one of the biggest pink salmon runs in a decade, with upward of 7.8 million pinks predicted—about 70 percent above average. Most reports from the West Point down to the Narrows have anglers hooking into brisk schools on the flood tides. Pinks have been stacked in the shallows and estuaries, aggressively slamming small pink and chartreuse hoochies, 1- to 1.5-inch spoons, and, for the trollers, OG superbaits rigged with a little bit of scent and two single hooks in tandem. Many locals on IFish Forums swear by using a bead and bobber stop ahead of your hooks to get a solid tracking action, and recommend keeping your leader short to ride right in the pinks’ strike zone. Silvers (coho) are mixed in but running smaller than the pinks—standard for a heavy humpy year. Chartreuse spinners and cutplugs, especially in eight to fifteen feet of water at first light or late evening, have worked well. For bait, a bit of herring or anchovy strip threaded through your favorite superbait or behind a flasher seems to be the winning combination. If you’re chasing the last few kings filtering through, deeper water off Jefferson Head or the Shipwreck can produce with larger hardware, but focus has shifted solidly to the pinks and coho. Inland, blackmouth are staging deeper, though the bite is spotty with these big tidal swings. Try trolling 3-inch spoons or plugs around mid-current edges when that tide is moving—the action comes quick or not at all on these swings. Crabbing reports are fair, but best in the early morning around Edmonds and the southern part of Whidbey. Popular baits remain salmon heads, razor clams, and chicken. Hot spots this week: - **Edmonds Marina breakwater**: Pinks and coho right off the rocks on a strong morning tide. - **Point No Point**: This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

If you’re heading out around Seattle, here’s what you need to know to set your drag and expectations right. Starting with the sunrise at 7:18 AM and sunset just after 6:33 PM, you’ll have a solid shot at both dawn and dusk bites, which should be lively today with good tidal movement. Seattle’s tides are looking prime for morning and evening fishing—expect a big high tide at 7:16 AM around 14.7 feet, then a slack out to low at 1:10 PM before another push back up to a 15.4-foot high at 6:37 PM. This swing promises active fish near structure and channels, especially around high slack early and late in the day, according to tides.net. Weather conditions are seasonably classic for October—a cool start near 50 degrees, possible cloud cover or fog in the morning, and breaking into the low 60s if the sun pops. Keep a windbreaker handy, as brisk breezes can roll in off Elliott Bay and the Narrows. If you’re after salmon, you’re in luck—anglers are still riding high on the buzz of a historic run. Puget Sound Energy and WDFW just announced sockeye numbers returning to the Skagit River system shattered records: almost 92,000 sockeye made it back from June through October, an incredible recovery story for local waters. While most of those fish are past their peak in our area, late-run silvers (coho) are still patrolling local beaches and estuaries, and hatchery chum are beginning to stage at creek mouths. Recent catches have been dominated by coho averaging 4–8 pounds, with a few chrome-bright stragglers in the mix. Cast small herring-pattern spoons, chartreuse hoochies behind a flasher, or even twitch marabou jigs in deeper pockets. The Buzz Bomb remains a local favorite—pink for coho and blue or green for chum. Try the Point No Point and Lincoln Park beaches on an outgoing tide for walkers and casters. Saltwater trout folks are reporting solid cutthroat action in the southern Sound, especially in the mornings near creeks and tide rips. Skinny-profile minnow lures, like silver Kastmasters or the smaller Flatfish, are drawing strikes, especially when twitched erratically—advice straight from Gone Fishing Northwest. If bottom-fishing is your game, Dungeness crab have been active in deeper pots, though you’ll need to work for a legal haul closer to Seattle as pressure increases. Squid are just starting to show in Elliott Bay; night jigs off Pier 86 or the Edmonds pier could pay off as we get closer to full fall runs. Hot spots? My picks this week: - Shilshole Bay and Meadow Point for coho and sea-run cutthroat—drift just off the eelgrass at dawn. - Dash Point Pier for a bit of mixed-bag action: salmon, perch, maybe an early winter blackmouth if you’re lucky. Freshwater, the rivers have colored up from rains but are still churning with salmon, though most fish are getting dark.

It’s sunrise just after 7:15 this morning, and we’ll see sunset around 6:42 this evening. The day starts out crisp and cool, typical fall pattern rolling in: partly cloudy skies, light northwest winds holding at 5-10 knots, and calm seas with a slight chance of showers early, but nothing that's going to keep local anglers off the water, according to the National Weather Service. Today's tide swings are classic for working the Sound. The early morning brings a high tide at 3:49 am just under 10 feet, then you’ve got a dropping tide to a low at 10:01 am about a foot above datum. A late afternoon flood tide returns at 4:08 pm, pushing up just over 11 feet—and that’s a money window for moving fish and bait around structure. Plan your main tactics around the morning outgoing and the afternoon push, especially near points, rips, or estuary mouths. Fall has put the turbo on salmon fishing. Puget Sound Daily Fishing Report calls it out: the coho run is still hot in Area 10, silvers schooling early along rip lines and current seams from Edmonds down to West Point. Most fish are averaging 5 to 7 pounds, with a few double-digit slabs in the mix this week. The historic pink salmon returns are just tapering off, but you still might hook into a straggler if you’re tossing pink jigs at creek mouths. The Outdoor Line and local outfitters note a few chunky resident Chinook getting caught close to the bottom—legal size, but measure twice. Dungeness crab are in post-molt, settling into deeper water, especially off Kingston and Alki. WDFW recently tagged over 500 crabs in this region. If you pull a tagged one, call it in—it matters. Crabbing is winding down, so get those pots in before the season closes in the next week or so. Bottomfishers: rockfish and black bass are holding steady on reefs near Shilshole and Elliott Bay. Lingcod are closed, but the kelp beds are still producing good numbers of greenling and the odd cabezon. Best lures right now are 2½ to 3-inch twitching jigs in purple, pink, or chartreuse for coho—fish them aggressively in the upper third of the water column at first light. Small metallic spoons like the Dick Nite or Coho Killer trolled behind a green flasher are accounting for a lot of fish between Richmond Beach and the Ship Canal. If you’re on the drift or casting from shore, try a pearl white hoochie squid pattern or a sandlance imitation under a float. Live bait isn’t necessary, but if you can get herring—especially green label for trolling—run it whole or as a cut-plug behind a dodger. For the crabbers, chicken and salmon frames are outpulling everything else. A couple hot spots to target today: Edmonds Pier just before and after the tide change is putting out coho and the odd blackmouth, especially for float fishers. And Lincoln Park down south has a solid morning bite where brackish outflow brings bait in.

The fall bite is heating up around Seattle, with cool October temps, morning mist, and a classic Puget Sound feel in the air. Before sunrise at 7:15 AM, shores around the Sound saw eager anglers setting lines, while today’s sunset wraps up at 6:44 PM—plan your trip to bracket those golden low-light periods, when most fish are actively feeding. Tidal flows today will move plenty of bait and stir up the action: the morning low tide hits at 9:18 AM (0.75 ft), and the afternoon high surges in at 4:03 PM (10.86 ft). If you’re out around Pickering Passage, you’ll see similar swings, with a low at 10:11 AM and a monster evening high at 4:50 PM (over 14 feet)—that should drive a strong bite window for both salmon and sea-run cutthroat. On the water, a waxing gibbous moon means bright night skies—with moonrise tonight at 5:46 PM, you might get an evening bite right under the moon. Water clarity is decent and visibility is running high at 92%, but keep your offerings in high-contrast colors—think black/purple or chartreuse—especially as rain is in the forecast later this weekend. Now, let's talk fish. Coho are thick along rip lines and current seams right at first light. Most successful rigs have been small spoons and twitching jigs in pink, orange, or silver; the bite’s best before the mid-morning sun. Pink salmon—by far the most dominant species this odd year—are flooding rivers and estuaries. According to the Everett Herald, pinks are outnumbering Chinook across the region nearly 25-to-1 this season. If you’re targeting pinks, go for pink spinners or small hoochies under a float; move up to slightly oversize gear to get the attention of active fish in the shallows. Chinook catches have slowed due to the pink run but can still be found deeper; work main stem drop-offs with larger plugs or herring cut-bait. Some chum salmon are showing up late in the month, especially where rainfall is starting to build. For chums, green and chartreuse patterns—especially big marabou jigs—are working near estuary mud lines. Steelhead are largely upriver, but locals have landed a few fresher fish lower down with swung spinners during green water periods. Cutthroat trout and blackmouth (resident Chinook) are moving along pebble beaches and dock pilings; the best bite is at dawn and dusk, especially using small crankbaits or Krocodile spoons cast toward wind-blown shores. Top lures this weekend: - Small pink or orange spoons for coho and pink salmon - Twitching jigs in chartreuse or black for chum and cutthroat - Herring strips or larger plugs for Chinook - For trout, small crankbaits, streamers, and chartreuse soft plastics Live bait hasn’t produced as well as artificials lately; focus on matching the hatch with local forage—anchovy and candlefish imitations are especially good.

Tidal flows today will move plenty of bait and stir up the action: the morning low tide hits at 9:18 AM (0.75 ft), and the afternoon high surges in at 4:03 PM (10.86 ft). If you’re out around Pickering Passage, you’ll see similar swings, with a low at 10:11 AM and a monster evening high at 4:50 PM (over 14 feet)—that should drive a strong bite window for both salmon and sea-run cutthroat. On the water, a waxing gibbous moon means bright night skies—with moonrise tonight at 5:46 PM, you might get an evening bite right under the moon. Water clarity is decent and visibility is running high at 92%, but keep your offerings in high-contrast colors—think black/purple or chartreuse—especially as rain is in the forecast later this weekend. Now, let's talk fish. Coho are thick along rip lines and current seams right at first light. Most successful rigs have been small spoons and twitching jigs in pink, orange, or silver; the bite’s best before the mid-morning sun. Pink salmon—by far the most dominant species this odd year—are flooding rivers and estuaries. According to the Everett Herald, pinks are outnumbering Chinook across the region nearly 25-to-1 this season. If you’re targeting pinks, go for pink spinners or small hoochies under a float; move up to slightly oversize gear to get the attention of active fish in the shallows. Chinook catches have slowed due to the pink run but can still be found deeper; work main stem drop-offs with larger plugs or herring cut-bait. Some chum salmon are showing up late in the month, especially where rainfall is starting to build. For chums, green and chartreuse patterns—especially big marabou jigs—are working near estuary mud lines. Steelhead are largely upriver, but locals have landed a few fresher fish lower down with swung spinners during green water periods. Cutthroat trout and blackmouth (resident Chinook) are moving along pebble beaches and dock pilings; the best bite is at dawn and dusk, especially using small crankbaits or Krocodile spoons cast toward wind-blown shores. Top lures this weekend: - Small pink or orange spoons for coho and pink salmon - Twitching jigs in chartreuse or black for chum and cutthroat - Herring strips or larger plugs for Chinook - For trout, small crankbaits, streamers, and chartreuse soft plastics Live bait hasn’t produced as well as artificials lately; focus on matching the hatch with local forage—anchovy and candlefish imitations are especially good. Hot spots worth checking out: - Shilshole Bay: Coho and pinks thick near the rip line at first light This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 224 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI4392472914 G'morning folks, Artificial Lure here with your Friday fishing report for Puget Sound. **Tidal Conditions** Seattle's looking at a high tide at 1:50am hitting 8 feet 3 inches, dropping to a low of just 8 inches around 8:26am, then climbing back to 3:35pm for another decent high. Pretty solid tidal movement today - that morning low is prime time for shore fishing. **Weather & Light** Sunrise at 7:12am, sunset at 6:43pm. We're getting into that sweet fall fishing window with cooler mornings warming up nicely by afternoon. **Recent Catches** The pink salmon bite has been absolutely on fire this odd year. Toni's been crushing it in Area 11 around Tacoma-Vashon, pulling pinks consistently through late August. The hot spot there is right below the yacht club where the rocks are - fish jumping everywhere first thing in the morning. Up in Area 10 near Seattle-Bremerton, anglers are still connecting with returning pinks. Even got some largemouth bass action on Lake Washington - one angler snagged a nice 3-pounder south of Seward Park using weightless stick baits under the stilt houses. **Lure Selection** For the returning pinks, small spoons and spinners in silver and pink are money. If you're targeting bass, go with Senko-style soft plastics for that slow fall through the structure. Moon jelly patterns have been producing for kokanee if you're heading to the lakes. **Hot Spots** Point Defiance area in Tacoma has been consistent for salmon, especially early morning. Lake Washington around the Atlantic City boat ramp is holding decent bass - work those docks and pilings. The morning low tide window from 8:30 to 10am is your golden hour today.

First light came at 7:10 am with sunset due at 6:48 pm. We’ve got classic fall weather—cloudy skies and steady rain in the forecast most of the day. Surface winds will be out of the south, picking up to 15-20 knots by afternoon, and chop of 2-3 feet on open water, so plan accordingly, especially for those launching small craft. It’s a good rain jacket kind of day. TIDES: Seattle area tides show a low near 0.98 ft at 6:27 am, then surging all the way up to 9.91 ft at 2:42 pm before ebbing again to 7.09 ft by 8:48 pm. You’ll find the bite picks up around those moving tides, especially the early afternoon high—prime time for salmon staging near creek and river mouths. FISH ACTIVITY: The fall Chinook and Coho runs are underway, but the big show right now is pink salmon. FOX13 Seattle says over 7 million pinks are pushing through this season—a banner return. Recent reports on Northwest Fishing Reports confirm steady pink catches around Seattle-Bremerton and Tacoma-Vashon, mostly in the morning and before slack tide. Big schools are visible, with anglers easily hitting their limits, especially casting from popular beach spots when fish are jumping. Coho numbers are improving too—look for silvers chasing bait balls in the rips. On Lake Washington itself, resident cutthroat and rainbow trout are still biting, with kokanee reported in Pierce County. Bass diehards landed a few nice largemouths south of Seward Park, mostly on soft plastics skipped under docks. BEST LURES & BAIT: Pinks are biting well on bright pink hoochies, buzz bombs, and small spoons like Dick Nites. For Coho, troll Ace Hi Flies in chartreuse or green with a dodger, or cast spinners during the incoming tide. If you’re after cutthroat or resident trout, go light—#2 spinners, woolly buggers, and nightcrawler-tipped wedding rings work best. Bait anglers have lucked out with cured salmon eggs and sand shrimp, especially around creek mouths after a rain. Tide timing matters—fish the two hours before and after the high for biggest success. HOT SPOTS: Two locations stand out for action right now. - Lincoln Park and the fishing pier at Alki Beach—steady pink catches from the beach, with Coho mixed in at dawn. - Point Defiance (Tacoma Area 11)—excellent for both salmon species, especially by the Owens Beach and the slag piles. Don’t forget River launch points at the mouths of the Duwamish and Puyallup for fresh fish entering from the Sound. That wraps the Puget Sound fishing wrap for October 1st, 2025. Stay safe in the wind and waves, pack your rain gear, and get after those salmon—they won’t stick around much longer! Thanks for tuning in, and make sure to subscribe.

We're waking up to a classic fall changeup: early morning skies are a patchwork of high clouds, winds are gentle from the south, and temps will cruise from the upper 50s to mid-60s by mid-afternoon. According to KOMO News, we can expect partial sun all day, so pack both a rain shell and your shades if you’re hitting the water. Sunrise at 6:59 a.m., sunset rolling in at 6:51 p.m. Tides today are moderate—a low ebb at 9:01 a.m. around -0.4 feet, high slack at 3:12 p.m. near 9.1 feet, which means swinging current and plenty of movement around those transitions. The late September bite is still strong. The Puget Sound Seattle Daily Fishing Report logs heavy action on coho: limits aren’t a given, but boats working off Shilshole and the Edmonds oil docks are putting chunky hatchery coho and the odd wild silver in the net, especially on the afternoon flood. Humpy action is pretty much wrapped, with post-spawn pinks fading in the shallow tributaries, but a few bright fish are still straggling up the Green and Snohomish. Blackmouth are closed for retention, but keep an eye on WDFW for winter openings. Best producers? You want to go deep and a little slow. Fish a 2- to 3-ounce mooching sinker if you’re drifting, or troll a chartreuse hoochie behind a green flasher if you prefer the relaxed pace. Trolling Coho Killers in Army Truck or Cop Car pattern, or a white Ace-Hi Fly, will put you in the sweet spot between Ballard and Jefferson Head. Early risers snagged a few nice fish on anchovy-baited rigs at daybreak, but hardware is out-fishing bait after the sun gets up. For bank anglers, the Edmonds fishing pier and Dash Point are still putting up some last-minute coho, with blue-silver spoons and small spinner jigs working best. Rockfish and flounder bite hasn’t faded either—try West Point or the shallows off Alki for some steady bottom action on shrimp-tipped curly tails or dropper rigs with herring strips. The crabbing season is winding down, but pots soaks overnight near Kingston and Port Madison are coming up with enough legal males for a boil. A few quick hot spots for today: - Jefferson Head: Coho still on the move at 40–80 feet. Troll the current edges at slack tide. - Dash Point Pier: Early morning coho cruising the shallows, good odds on a pink buzz bomb and medium spinning combo. Quick heads up for mariners after that big baby orca sighting last week; keep a sharp eye around Whidbey—they’re still milling around so please steer clear and kill the main if they pop up. Stay safe out there—a couple of recent weather flips and Coast Guard reminders about life jackets after a few close calls off West Point. Tight lines, and don’t forget to pack out your trash.

It’s the *tail end of September* and the Sound is buzzing—**coho salmon are hot right now**. Local charters and private boats have reported *impressive catches*, with several coho tipping the scales above 10 pounds, both hatchery and wild. They’re running strong and putting up serious fights—enough to make you double-check if it’s not a chinook on the line. Alongside coho, **some solid feeder chinook are also in the mix**, with both undersized and a surprising number of keeper-size early “winter” chinook showing up. Many anglers are landing *flashy late-season pinks*, though that run’s winding down. Today’s weather forecast is classic fall—expect **overcast skies, a mild breeze around 6–10 knots, and a chilly start** in the upper 40s, warming to the low 60s by afternoon. *NOAA* data backs a light marine layer and patchy drizzle, so a rain shell isn’t a bad call. The **sunrise came at 6:58 a.m., sunset tonight’s at 7:01 p.m.**, giving us a solid window for the mid-morning and afternoon bites. Check your tides: today in Seattle we’re working with a *low tide at 7:22 a.m., swinging to a high at 2:54 p.m.* This sets us up for a potent afternoon push, and historically, the last half of the incoming tide is when things get electric out there. Hot spots? **Edmonds oil docks continue to deliver for coho and the odd feeder chinook**, especially on the outgoing tide. **Shilshole Bay and Meadow Point** are also producing, with trollers and Mooched herring both finding fish. For shore anglers, **Lincoln Park and the west side of Alki** are popping, especially in the low light hours. As for what’s working—**hootchies in green or pink, 3-4” spoons like Coho Killers, or white Ace-Hi flies** behind a chartreuse or moon jelly flasher are top producers for coho. When the water goes a little off-color, switch to *brighter patterns or some glow*. Many anglers are still **mooching with cut-plug herring**, and bait continues to outpace artificials on most deeper drifts. *If you’re on the fly*, sink tips with clouser minnows or chartreuse over white streamers are getting grabs in the tide rips. Shore anglers are scoring with small Buzz Bombs or pink squid jigs. Reports from Pacific Angler and the Puget Sound, Seattle Daily Fishing Report say the *number of boats is up*, especially near known drop-offs, but there are *plenty of fish to go around* if you’re willing to chase the bait balls and stay mobile. The best windows have been *first light and again on the afternoon flood*, so plan your run accordingly. Keep an eye out—there are some bulked-up resident blackmouth feeding in the mix, signs that this winter’s chinook run could be a banner one. Bottomfish bite remains steady; try the deeper humps off Jeff Head with a curly-tail jig for flounder and the odd rockfish, but release any quillbacks carefully—NOAA reminders say those stocks are still managed closely.

The air’s got that unmistakable fall snap, and we woke to sunrise officially beginning at 6:59 am, with sunset set for 7:05 pm tonight. Weather’s holding steady—a light marine layer, calm winds from the southwest and scattered clouds predicted mid-morning. Water temps are dropping, hovering in the mid-50s, perfect for igniting fish activity as they feed ahead of winter. Today’s tide is rolling in with a morning high at 8:01 am, then dropping out for a deep low around 1:32 pm. Afternoon bite should turn on strong during that outgoing tide, especially anywhere forage fish push in near the beaches. These cycles are prime for chasing coho salmon, sea-run cutthroat, and your reliable bottom dwellers. Angler reports from the past few days have put **coho** front and center. Fish have been moving in decent numbers, mainly averaging 4 to 6 pounds, with a few larger. Most catches are coming from deeper channels around West Point and Shilshole, but pods are showing up around Edmonds too. Nearshore, hatchery blackmouth are nipping in the mix and a good number of sea-run cutthroat are feeding on smelt and sand lance near the estuaries—think Meadowdale, Howarth Park, and Picnic Point as mentioned in the HeraldNet’s recent coverage of forage fish spawning in Snohomish County. The Puget Sound’s fall bottom fishing bite remains steady, with lings and cabezon still popping up. Reliable sources say rockfish and flounder are productive inside Elliott Bay and under the ferry lanes around Bainbridge. Best lures right now: - For **coho and blackmouth**: Try 3”–4” needlefish spoons (Coho Killer, Silver Horde, Nick’s) in green, blue, or army truck. Hootchie rigs and white/plaid Ace-Hi Flies tipped with herring strips are working wonders behind 11” flashers. - For **cutthroat**: Toss unweighted chartreuse Dick Nite spoons or 2”–3” minnow patterns like Sand Lance soft plastics, especially during the slack tide in the morning. - For **lingcod and rockfish**: Rig up with 4” curly tail grubs in root beer or motor oil, or go classic with a whole herring on jig heads. Certain days, a heavy metal jig bounced in rocky structure is all you need. Bait is always king if you have it—fresh or frozen herring, sand shrimp, and squirt worms are all producing. If you’re targeting bottom fish off the piers, a slip sinker rig with squid is a go-to. Hot spots to focus today: - **West Point** (mouth of Elliott Bay): The tide swing this morning means strong salmon pushes and bonus chance at big cutts chasing bait right at the point. - **Edmonds Pier and Oil Docks**: With active spawning reported by county scientists, smelt and sand lance are bringing in hordes of cutthroat, and the deeper water holds coho all day. - **Meadowdale Beach Park**: Reports this week note improved forage fish activity, and that’s the dinner bell for salmon and resident trout.

For much of the central Sound, we’re seeing an early morning high at 7:21 am around 8.6 feet, a solid midday low at 12:46 pm dropping to just over 4 feet, then another strong flood peaking around 6:29 pm at 9.4 feet according to Tideschart. These swings will set up shifty rips and feeding lanes as the baitfish stack up, ideal for pulling some aggressive coho close to the surface. September on Puget Sound has gone absolutely coho-crazy, especially with the Salmon for Soldiers event bringing hundreds out to the Everett area the last couple days, and plenty of limits hit before noon. Anglers Unlimited recaps it best: “Coho fishing is on fire—solid 5–7 pounders, with 30% or so being plump hatchery fish, and the largest in years.” Pink salmon are done—no recent catches up north or south, so dial your setup for the silver torpedoes[Anglers Unlimited]. Washington Fish Reports backs this up with “got into a great coho bite this morning, done before noon,” and, “the bite continues to be strong” just about everywhere, especially early and late in the tide[Washington Fish Reports]. If you’re running gear today, the smart money’s on trolling white or chartreuse hoochies—Anglers Unlimited highlights white hoochies with a gold inlay, 25–30 inch leaders, and keep your spreads in the upper column, 70 feet and up. Silver spoons and smaller flashers are also knocking ‘em dead. For the meat and scent crew, herring plugs and anchovy strips behind a flasher will draw bites, especially as the tide builds. Don’t forget: running jigging setups deep, especially in Marine Area 11 or off Browns Point, has been the secret sauce for the few still picking up late Chinook, according to PNW BestLife. Weather’s another gift: a cool, partly cloudy start, light north breeze at 5–10 knots in the afternoon, and waves under two feet. Layer up for the dawn run, then shed as it brightens—sunrise clocked in today at 7:00 am and you’ve got solid fishing light till just after 7:00 pm. For hot spots: - Possession Bar is producing “lights out” coho action, especially around the start of the outgoing. - Eagle Point, up by Mukilteo, is still a late-season classic – look for surface boils and feeding birds. - If you want to avoid the crowds, Open Bay and the waters around Browns Point in Tacoma are both putting up solid fish for those picking their tides. - For beach anglers, try Edmonds pier during that flood, or Dash Point closer to Tacoma. Bottom fishers and those after a mixed bag: Reports from charters still show limits on yellowtail rockfish and solid lingcod action on flounder down deep; try the steep drops around Alki and the north end of Vashon for a bonus tug.

Let’s get right into the action and what you need to know before you hit the water this afternoon and into the evening. We kicked off this morning with sunrise at 6:52 a.m. and you’ll have until 7:13 p.m. before the sun sets. Weather’s typical for starting fall in the Sound: patchy morning fog, giving way to partly cloudy skies, highs in the low 60s, and a gentle breeze out of the south. Tides today feature an early morning high and a moderate outgoing tide through the afternoon, making the late afternoon and early evening prime time for casting to salmon. The fish are definitely around. Earlier this week, Outdoor News reported plenty of boats working the Central Sound and north to the San Juans, cashing in on the end of a historic pink salmon run. Cohos are still abundant, with more fish moving into the bays and tidal rivers—anglers have been limiting out on coho in Marine Area 9 from Edmonds to Mukilteo, and the pink numbers continue to impress both from boats and beach casting. According to the latest Seattle Daily Fishing Report, a surge of Chinook has also rolled through Marine Areas 10 and 11, especially around Shilshole and down near the Southworth ferry runs. Folks targeting bottom fish have been finding solid action for rockfish and flounder off the piers and breakwaters. There’ve even been some surprise dogfish and small sharks turning up in the north Sound; AOL notes this is pretty common this time of year and usually nothing to worry about—just handle with care and release them promptly. Crabbing is winding down but die-hards are still soaking pots in the Port Orchard and Saratoga Pass flats, scraping up some decent final hauls of Dungeness. For lures and baits, today’s best bets: - For coho and pinks: 2.5”–3” pink or chartreuse hoochies, small spoons (Coho Killers, Needlefish), or a herring trolled behind a green or white flasher. Shore anglers are finding success with buzz bombs and pink squid jigs. - For Chinook: Try anchovy, herring strips, or cut-plug herring trolled near bottom, especially around Point No Point and West Point. Early and late in the day have been best. - On the bottom: Gulp! sandworms or small jigs for flounder and rockfish near the piers. My top hotspots for today: - **Edmonds to Mukilteo shoreline**: Cohos and pinks moving fast—fish the points at the turn of tide. - **Lincoln Park down to Southworth**: Both Chinook and coho, especially during the afternoon outgoing tide; work the drop-offs and stick close to baitballs. Watch your charts and give the ferries plenty of space—boats have been thick on the inner Sound this week. And as always, check in with the latest WDFW emergency rules since in-season closures can pop up quick this time of year. Thanks for tuning in!

A soft southerly breeze ripples the salt, making for nicely choppy water if you’re hunting returning salmon or those late-season cutthroats. Sunrise settles in at 6:56 a.m. with dusk at 7:12 p.m., so you’ve got about 12 hours to chase chrome. Tides today are running big and fast. The first high tide crests at 5:03 a.m. right at 12.5 ft, then drops to a low at 11:31 a.m. at 0.68 ft, before powering right back up to a 14.4 ft high at 6:09 p.m. These strong tide swings mean bait will flush in and out, so expect fish to be active during those transition periods. Get your gear down within an hour and a half of both highs and lows for the sweet spot, especially near river mouths like the Duwamish or the Snohomish, where the bait gathers[Puget Sound tide chart]. Salmon, especially coho and a few late summer chinook, have been the stars this past week. Anglers working the West Point and Shilshole ledges reported solid pods of migrating coho stacking up around the incoming tide, with boats putting up three to six fish apiece. Most of the action’s been in the top 40 feet with trollers running glow hootchies, chartreuse Ace-Hi flies, and cut plug herring—best bets right now for matching the bait size. Downrigger folks are also scoring big with Silver Horde spoons in 3", particularly Cop Car and Irish Cream patterns. Pink salmon are mostly finished up, but a few stragglers are still punching up from the deeper southern Sound if you want to target unusual catches or toss spoons in front of the Narrows. Resident blackmouth are scattered; jigging candlefish imitations near Tacoma or just outside Edmonds can pay off for the patient. Around the piers and beaches, shore casters are seeing fair numbers of sea-run cutthroat and the occasional chum, particularly off Lincoln Park and Golden Gardens. Try small olive clouser flies or 2” pink casting spoons for the cutts, and if the water’s muddy from rain, run sand shrimp or herring strips under a float for the best results. Crabbers are reporting slower catches as the commercial season wound down, but if you drop traps in deeper pockets near Kingston or Bainbridge, you still stand a chance of decent keepers. Top baits and lures today: - **Coho/Chinook:** Chartreuse hootchies, Ace-Hi flies, Silver Horde spoons - **Beach/shore:** Pink and green spoons, olive clousers, sand shrimp - **Depth/jig:** Metal jigs (candlefish shape) near Edmonds/Tacoma Hot spots for today: - **West Point** (Shilshole) for fast-moving salmon near tidal shifts - **Lincoln Park shoreline** for cutthroat and mixed beach action The word from shore and boat anglers is to pay close attention to timing—those brief feeding windows around the tide swings are where you’ll hook up or go home empty-handed.

We’ve got classic late-summer Pacific Northwest conditions—expect patchy morning clouds clearing off by midday, with highs pushing 74 degrees, as KOMO News reports. The water is calm, and it’s a prime morning to be tying rigs before first light. **Sunrise today was at 6:50 AM, and sunset rolls in at 7:11 PM**, so there’s plenty of daylight for a full session. For the tidal swing, we’re working with a morning incoming tide—always a sweet spot for casting off local beaches. Fishing the turn around high slack can be productive, especially if you can align it with low-light hours these next few days. The buzz up and down the Sound right now is all about **pink salmon**. We’re still seeing solid numbers in the salt, and there’s pinks moving into the lower rivers too, with anglers reporting doubles and steady hook-ups on these feisty fish. Out around the Edmonds pier yesterday, folks were landing limits, and there’s consistent action from the shore at Lincoln Park and Golden Gardens. Over on the east side, Point No Point is still fishing strong, with regular pink catches and even the odd early coho showing up. If you’ve got access to a boat, trolling just off Alki or West Seattle with pink hoochies or dick nites is delivering the goods. The hot lure this week is still the classic **pink jig** or marabou setup, especially 1/8 to 1/4 ounce. Fly anglers—you’re in luck too. Reports from the field say small pink clousers and the so-called “Pink Son of a Gun” swung on an intermediate line are the ticket, as seen in recent YouTube outings. For gear folks, try tossing a pink Buzz Bomb or a 2-inch spoon. Tip your rig with shrimp scent for extra insurance—the pinks love that. If you’re after kings, swap in a black and gold spoon or go with a chartreuse wiggle wart and dead drift it—these early fall fish are in, but you’ll have to work for them. Don’t overlook stripers; a few early birds are hassling small herring in shallow water. For bait, the shops are moving a ton of **cured shrimp and sand shrimp** right now. Cut-plug herring on a slow troll is picking up bonus coho mid-water. Don’t forget your scent—shrimp or anise is working well. **Hot spots?** This week, check out Lincoln Park in West Seattle on a morning or evening tide. It’s crowded but there’s fish, and you can launch a kayak or beach cast. Edmonds pier is firing for pinks, while the mouth of the Duwamish is seeing early coho and resident cutthroat if you want to escape the crowds. On the Kitsap side, Point No Point remains a dependable bet, especially through the top of the tide and first light. A quick wildlife update: while there was concern over bird flu hitting the region last year, state agencies are observing fewer cases this season according to Columbia Insight.

We’ve got a classic late-summer setup in the Seattle region: overcast skies, light rain, and mild temps hovering around 56°F. Humidity is high, wind’s calm at 4 mph, and water temp is a chilly 49°F—perfect conditions for our fall salmon runs. Sunrise hit at 6:49 am, giving you those soft first-light hours, while sunset lands at 7:16 pm. The best tides today for Seattle are a low at 8:09 am (-0.32 ft) and a big high at 3:49 pm (11.22 ft)—that mid-afternoon flood is prime time for salmon moving in from deeper water. Major fishing activity lines up nicely with those tidal swings, especially late morning and right before evening. If you’re chasing salmon, especially coho and Chinook, the reports have been stellar. Washington Fish Reports says coho fishing’s red hot right now, with regular limits coming aboard, and combos seeing solid action. Whatcom Creek just up north expects over 7,000 hatchery Chinook salmon in the system, boosting returns across the region and making Puget Sound especially lively for kings and silvers. Saltwater anglers have had success mooching and trolling cut-plug herring and anchovy. For artificial lures, go with a 3.5" green and blue Coyote spoon or a Silver Horde Ace Hi Fly behind a Moon Jelly flasher. Try rigs with a bit of glow or UV finish to cut through that cloudy water. Lingcod and rockfish are still showing strong action on deep structure and rocky reefs—Washington Fish Reports notes limits for Lingcod and plenty of canary and black rockfish just this week. Drop a white or chartreuse soft plastic grub threaded on a 3 oz jig head; black label herring fished near the bottom remains a killer bait choice for lingcod if you’re fishing bait. If you’re shorebound, folks are catching pinks and coho at popular pier spots like Edmonds, Shilshole, and Point Defiance. Use 1/2 to 1 oz pink Buzz Bombs, or cast a blue/silver Needlefish spoon at first and last light. Here are two hot spots to check out: - **West Point** just north of downtown Seattle—fish the outgoing tide for coho and the odd Chinook. Troll just outside the reef and keep baits near the bottom early. - **Jefferson Head** near Bainbridge Island—classic September producer, with large tide swings bringing schools of coho and Chinook in. Use a herring or anchovy setup, and don’t be afraid to switch up colors if the bite slows. Crabbers—many are still pulling good-sized Dungeness in Bainbridge and Elliott Bay, but check for posted closures before heading out. Don’t forget: with our cooler water and cloudy skies, salmon are biting deep and moving quick. Stick to natural baits early, and switch to brighter, larger spoons or hoochies late.

Here’s what you need to know before you hit the water. Sunrise this morning was at 6:46 a.m. and sunset will be at 7:24 p.m., giving you plenty of daylight to chase after the catch of a lifetime. According to TidesChart, we’re seeing an early low tide at 4:27 a.m. around -1.0 ft, peaking to a robust high around 12:25 p.m. at just over 10 ft, followed by an evening low at 5:33 p.m. near 8 ft and then a nighttime high at 10:09 p.m. just under 10 ft. Plan your outings around these tide swings for best results. Weather is calm and cooperative—temperatures in the upper 40s to lower 50s, mostly cloudy skies, light wind out of the northwest at 5 knots, and gentle seas under 2 ft as per the National Weather Service. Bring a throwover for early mornings, but it should be comfortable for the majority of the day. Now, let’s get to the fishing. This week has been banner for both pink and coho salmon. The Outdoor Line reports millions of pinks returning to the Sound and the bite has been “excellent”—anglers are filling their limits and then some. Feel free to go north or south; pinks are running thick from Edmonds down to Tacoma. Coho fishing is really heating up, especially with hooknose silvers staging. The Edmonds area is busy today with the derby, and for good reason—that’s one of the top spots right now with chrome-bright fish pushing in close. Out on the water, pink salmon have been eager to bite on small pink hoochies, Buzz Bombs in pink or chartreuse, and mini squids rigged behind dodgers. Coho are smashing the tried-and-true copper or green spinners, Coho Killers, and cut-plug herring. For live bait, anchovies and herring are your go-to, especially if you’re trolling deeper edges of rips and tide lines. Don’t sleep on jigging setups—metal jigs in 2-3 oz. sizes are landing plenty of fish around the pilings and deeper drop-offs. Reports from the Sound say folks are still finding good action on resident chinook, but it’s mostly a catch-and-release game now as retention closes in many spots. In deeper water and around structure, lingcod and black rockfish are also cooperating, especially around Point No Point and Possession Bar. While crab season is winding down, crabbers are still getting decent pulls near Everett and Camano Head, but be sure to check current regs before dropping your pots. Hot spots to put on your list today: - Edmonds to Shipwreck for coho and pinks—early morning hours during the flood tide have been best. - Point Defiance, Tacoma Narrows—troll the edge of the kelp beds or jig near the clay banks for silvers and rockfish. - West Point and Shilshole—work the tide rips by mid-day and find plenty of hungry fish. Summing it up, get after those pinks and coho while the run is on, aim for moving water, and don’t be afraid to change up your presentation if things are slow.

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 07:31:59 -0000 full Inception Point AI Good morning, anglers—this is Artificial Lure with your Puget Sound fishing report for Sunday, September 14, 2025. Here’s what you need to know before you hit the water. Sunrise this morning was at 6:46 a.m. and sunset will be at 7:24 p.m., giving you plenty of daylight to chase after the catch of a lifetime. According to TidesChart, we’re seeing an early low tide at 4:27 a.m. around -1.0 ft, peaking to a robust high around 12:25 p.m. at just over 10 ft, followed by an evening low at 5:33 p.m. near 8 ft and then a nighttime high at 10:09 p.m. just under 10 ft. Plan your outings around these tide swings for best results. Weather is calm and cooperative—temperatures in the upper 40s to lower 50s, mostly cloudy skies, light wind out of the northwest at 5 knots, and gentle seas under 2 ft as per the National Weather Service. Bring a throwover for early mornings, but it should be comfortable for the majority of the day. Now, let’s get to the fishing. This week has been banner for both pink and coho salmon.

Weather today begins mild, with patchy morning fog and a light south breeze around 5 knots. Expect clearing through midday, then a southwest wind picking up slightly in the afternoon. Little chop on the water, with waves staying at or below two feet. Look for fog to clear by mid-morning; rain is likely overnight, so plan your late sessions accordingly. Sunrise will hit at 6:42 am, and sunset comes at 7:28 pm—plenty of daylight to work the tides and maximize your bite window. Today’s tide swings are moderate, giving anglers better chances for actively feeding fish especially in the mid-morning and late afternoon slack. Fish activity is on the upswing. Coho salmon are the headline, with numbers increasing every day as ocean runs push through toward the rivers. Washington Fish Reports highlights great salmon trips all week and deepwater boats hitting solid coho limits, especially north of Seattle between Edmonds and Mukilteo. Big Chinook are still present but thinning; the focus is really on those silvers. Beach anglers from Lincoln Park to Golden Gardens are seeing steady action, especially casting toward tidal rips as the bait piles up. Lingcod and rockfish have been a bright spot for bottom bouncers. Lingcod bite reported “epic” off West Seattle and the south end of Whidbey, with deepwater boats hitting limits in 80–120 feet—jigs tipped with herring, swimbaits, and standard leadheads are all producing. As for recent catches: Expect mixed bags with coho being most common, followed by the last few strong kings and plenty of resident sea-run cutthroat moving around river mouths. Doghouse charters out of Shilshole brought in solid numbers of keeper coho yesterday, with some boats seeing 10–20 fish for morning trips. Rockfish varieties also are showing up for those targeting deeper structure, though keep an eye on regulations where required. Best lures right now: - Flashers and hoochies in green or blue for trolling coho - Silver spoons and twitching jigs for shore casting - Swimbaits, curly tail grubs, and leadhead jigs for lingcod and bottomfish - For cutthroat and river mouth salmon, use small spinners, spoons, or bead rigs matching migrating bait size Bait is the name of the game: herring, anchovy, and squid strips are drawing strikes for both salmon and bottomfish. Many boats are running small anchovy under a dodger for coho, and beach casters are matching hatch with 2–3 inch sand lance imitations. Hot spots to target: - Edmonds Oil Dock: coho staging, kings still trickling through - Alki Point: active salmon bite on flood tides, reliable bottomfish - Shilshole breakwater and Meadow Point: mixed rockfish, lingcod, aggressive cutthroat Keep in mind that local crab season wrapped up earlier this month, so be mindful to submit your late trap reports by October 1.

Here in Seattle, we’re waking up to cool early fall temps, patchy clouds, and a slight marine breeze—perfect fishing weather for most of the Sound. Sunrise was at 6:45 AM, giving anglers a golden window to hit the water early. You'll want to time your casts around today’s tidal swings: a minus-low tide at 3:38 AM, a solid high at 10:14 AM (13.27 ft), another low at 3:49 PM (6.24 ft), and finishing with a 14.6 ft high at 9:14 PM. These tide cycles make for prime movement, so expect fish on the move during both fills and ebbs according to Tide-Forecast.com. Salmon action is hot now, with fall Chinook and Coho salmon peaking in the Sound. Boatsetter reports that Chinook are running strong—anglers are tracking down plenty of healthy kings up toward the mouth of the Duwamish, Elliott Bay, and off Lincoln Park. Coho, meanwhile, are the stars in the near-shore early morning and late evenings, with recent catches looking good off Shilshole, Edmonds, and even around West Seattle. Best bets for gear: trolled cut-plug herring, flashy chartreuse or blue-green hoochies, and silver spoons have all been producing fish. For bank anglers, twitching jigs in pink or purple is trending strong for the coho, while a classic herring under a slip float grabs any passing Chinook. Many locals are swapping to smaller plugs and lighter leaders as water clarity improves with autumn’s push, increasing hookups for pressured fish. Lingcod and rockfish catches have tapered off as bottom temps cool, but persistent bottom bouncers are still landing keeper-sized lings around rocky drops near Alki and deeper shelves off Point Jefferson, Boatsetter notes. If you’re targeting lings and rockfish, drop down white twin-tail plastic grubs on heavy jigs tipped with squid. The key: bounce and pause, bounce and pause. Chum salmon are starting to trickle in, but the real show will be in a week or so. Pink salmon numbers are way down after the August peak, so most reports are seeing small pods, mostly passed through the central Sound. On the bait front: fresh herring reigns supreme for salmon, followed by sand shrimp and—if you can find it—anchovy. Scented soft baits like Gulp sandworms are picking up bonus flounder and smaller bottom fish near piers and jettys. Before heading out, a word of caution as the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife reminds everyone: leave protected sharks—including bluntnose sixgill, sevengill, and thresher sharks—alone. These prehistoric giants are passing through Marine Areas 10, 11, and 13, drawn by spawning cycles. Handling or targeting them is illegal right now. Hot spots to check out today: - *Elliott Bay near the mouth of the Duwamish*: Early coho and Chinook, best on tide change at sunrise. - *Shilshole Bay marina*: Bank fishing for coho at first light, plus drop-offs for late season rockfish. - *Point Jefferson drift*: Lingcod and rockfish over dee This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise hit Seattle just before 6:39 AM this morning, with sunset wrapping up at 7:28 PM—the perfect window for a long day on the salt. We’re starting with a touch of early fog, but once that burns off, conditions are pleasant. Expect light south winds shifting north this afternoon, barely tickling the water at around 5 knots, and waves staying two feet or less. That means ideal small craft weather: good news for both shoreline casters and boaters. Tonight brings a chance of showers, so pack your raingear if you’re staying late. The tides are doing something worth noting: the morning high tide hit at 4:57 AM at just under 7 feet, slipping down to a mid-morning low around 11 AM at 1.4 feet, and rolling back high again by 5:24 PM. That plus the cool air makes for an active bite window mid-morning and late afternoon, so time your fishing accordingly, especially if you’re working the beach or casting from the marina piers. If you’re chasing salmon, you’re in the right place at the right time. According to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, we’re seeing a pink salmon return estimated at 7.76 million—third largest on record and a massive 70% jump from typical cycles. Limits are up in most areas, which has the launch ramps buzzing and the rivers packed. Right now, hot spots include the mouths of the Green and Nisqually Rivers on the Sound, with pods of pinks pushing in tight on the incoming tide. Edmonds Pier and Dash Point are worth a cast, especially evenings this week, and don’t sleep on the Point No Point shoreline for boat action. Bank anglers: scale down. The bite’s been pressured since Labor Day and the key tip from local guides, like those featured on Holy Moly Outdoors, is “go light to get tight.” Leave the heavy salmon gear at home and grab a six-pound test on an ultralight trout rod. Quarter- and even eighth-ounce pink-and-white twitching jigs, little crappie jigs, or downsized spoons like the 1/8th ounce Buzz Bomb, are nabbing more fish than giant offerings. Add a curly tail soft plastic for extra pulse. Low water clarity? Go with brighter colors—think chartreuse, low sun, add flash. Boaters are scoring trolling through 20-40 feet of water with pink mini-hoochies behind a dodger or small rotating flasher, tipped with a bit of shrimp or herring strip. For a classic touch, drift a pink Buzz Bomb or a humpy killer from the drift—just be sure to stagger your depths and speed. The pinks are everywhere, and coho are starting to show—look for them deeper, off rips and tidal seams. Bottom dwellers, rockfish numbers are healthy. NOAA Fisheries’ late-August dive surveys reported strong rockfish reproduction across the region. If you’ve got a light setup, drop down small Ling Cod tubes or white grub jigs along rocky points—though mind the species and retention limits, especially with ESA-listed rockfish like yello This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First things first—the **tide** has a major effect on fish activity in the Sound. Early this morning, Seattle saw a low tide around 10:35 am at -0.79 ft, then things started rising for a high at 5:32 pm near 10.93 ft. These swingy tides mean that feeding windows are prime just as the current starts to run, especially on the incoming side. According to tide-forecast.com, sunrise today hit at 6:40am and sunset will close things out at 7:36pm—so get your lines wet early and stay until dusk if you’re chasing evening biters. **Weather’s shaping up nicely:** this September morning brought mild temps pushing up from the fifties, a classic low cloud layer burning off quick with modest winds out of the south. With stable barometric pressure and little rain, fish are active across most shoreline and deepwater zones. Now, onto the **bite:** The Outdoor Line and Puget Sound Seattle Daily Fishing Report both agree that 2025’s pink salmon run is historic. We’re seeing nearly 7.8 million pinks coming through, and the coho (silvers) are showing in ever-larger numbers as well. Pinks are crowding up the narrows around Point Defiance and into Elliot Bay—folks are hitting easy limits out of kayak, skiff, and pier. Coho are thick around Shilshole and heading north towards Edmonds, with Derby season in full swing. A few boats are reporting solid catches of resident chinook, but the main attraction is salmon right now. For those hunting other species, rocky structure around Alki and West Seattle continues to produce nice black rockfish and a handful of decent lingcod. Nearshore, especially at midday low tides, Dungeness crab remains steady—drop traps near sandy flats off Dash Point or along the east side of Bainbridge. **Best lures and baits:** The pinks can’t resist a small *pink buzz bomb* or *Dick Nite spoon* thrown from shoreline or suspended from the pier. For coho, troll a *green and white hoochie* behind a 1-2 oz weight, or strip some *herring* fillets if you’re mooching. The success with baitfish patterns is hard to overstate—when in doubt, tip your lure with a fresh chunk of shrimp or herring. In deeper water, try a *rotating flasher* setup with 30” leader to a Coho Killer or Ace Hi Fly. **Hot spots:** - **Edmonds Pier:** Tons of pinks in easy reach; coho showing right after sunrise. - **Point Defiance (Tacoma Narrows):** Strong numbers of pink salmon, reliable bite for both shore and boat anglers. - **Shilshole Bay:** Coho stacking up on the edge of the drop-off; rockfish and flounder in the shallows. According to The Outdoor Line, yesterday’s Everett Coho Derby had boats bringing in easy limits by noon, with quite a few weighing in at 8 lbs and up. Reports from Stock SMART (NOAA) show overall healthy marks for local salmon stocks—so expect the season to continue s This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First light snuck up at 6:32 this morning and you’ll have sunlight until 7:41 tonight, giving us more than 13 solid hours on the water. Tides are lively: early high tide hit at 2:05 a.m., dropping to a low of 9:06 a.m., and the next high swings up at 4:54 p.m. The tidal coefficients are building through the afternoon, so you’ll see some decent current and movement—always a plus when targeting actively feeding fish, especially salmon, which love a moving tide, according to Tides4Fishing. Weather’s classic early September—expect a comfy high in the mid-60s to low 70s, light morning fog burning off by mid-morning with variable clouds and just a whisper of wind. That means the water’s likely calm for small craft. Dress in layers, keep your rain shell handy, but you won’t need it until later. Let’s talk fish. Reports from Spreaker’s Puget Sound Fishing Report say chinook and coho are both showing in better numbers this week, especially as more ocean fish push in with the bigger tides. Early morning action’s steady near the shipping lanes off Edmonds and the West Point area—both worth a stop on your route. Anglers have landed some nice hatchery coho up to 8 pounds, plus a few king salmon in the double digits. The pink run is past its peak but you’ll still find a handful stragglers from Shilshole down to Alki, especially on the morning tide. As for lures and bait, veteran captains with Cabela’s around Tulalip are working Pro Cure and Bigsexy baits for salmon, plus old standbys like the Corkie and bait rig are putting up numbers, especially at river mouths on the incoming tide. For trolling, drag Ace Hi Flies, smaller glow hoochies, or herring behind a dodger—green and white patterns are hot right now. If you’re mooching or casting, try a cut plug herring or a pink/white buzz bomb. For shore folks, coho are slamming chrome-plated spinners and pink Twitching Jigs, especially at Lincoln Park and Point No Point. If you’re after bottom species, the bite is fair for flounder and smaller lingcod—best on squid strips or Berkley Gulp baits in the Elliott Bay area. Crabbing is now closed in most areas, but check the regs before you toss a pot. Hot spots today: - West Point—active salmon feeding with that late afternoon tide swing. - Edmonds oil docks—holding both coho and chinook on the ebb. - Shilshole shoreline—still pinks and a shot at a surprise coho.

Sat, 06 Sep 2025 07:36:38 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your Saturday, September 6, 2025, fishing report for Puget Sound and the greater Seattle area—let’s get right to it, folks. First light snuck up at 6:32 this morning and you’ll have sunlight until 7:41 tonight, giving us more than 13 solid hours on the water. Tides are lively: early high tide hit at 2:05 a.m., dropping to a low of 9:06 a.m., and the next high swings up at 4:54 p.m. The tidal coefficients are building through the afternoon, so you’ll see some decent current and movement—always a plus when targeting actively feeding fish, especially salmon, which love a moving tide, according to Tides4Fishing. Weather’s classic early September—expect a comfy high in the mid-60s to low 70s, light morning fog burning off by mid-morning with variable clouds and just a whisper of wind. That means the water’s likely calm for small craft. Dress in layers, keep your rain shell handy, but you won’t need it until later. Let’s talk fish. Reports from Spreaker’s Puget Sound Fishing Report say chinook and coho are both showing in better numbers this week, especially as more ocean fish push in with the bigger tides. Early morning action’s steady near the shipping lanes off Edmonds and the West Point area—both worth a stop on your route. Anglers have landed some nice hatchery coho up to 8 pounds, plus a few king salmon in the double digits. The pink run is past its peak but you’ll still find a handful stragglers from Shilshole down to Alki, especially on the morning tide. As for lures and bait, veteran captains with Cabela’s around Tulalip are working Pro Cure and Bigsexy baits for salmon, plus old standbys like the Corkie and bait rig are putting up numbers, especially at river mouths on the incoming tide. For trolling, drag Ace Hi Flies, smaller glow hoochies, or herring behind a dodger—green and white patterns are hot right now. If you’re mooching or casting, try a cut plug herring or a pink/white buzz bomb. For shore folks, coho are slamming chrome-plated spinners and pink Twitching Jigs, especially at Lincoln Park and Point No Point. If you’re after bottom species, the bite is fair for flounder and smaller lingcod—best on squid strips or Berkley Gulp baits in the Elliott Bay area. Crabbing is now closed in most areas, but check the regs before you toss a pot. Hot spots today: - West Point—active salmon feeding with that late afternoon tide swing. - Edmonds oil docks—holding both coho and chinook on the ebb. - Shilshole shoreline—still pinks and a shot at a surprise coho. Couple of extra tips—fish those rips and current seams, especially as the tide picks up steam late afternoon.

We woke up to **sunrise at 6:33 AM, and sunset coming at 7:40 PM**, giving anglers a full, classic end-of-summer day to chase fish. Today’s weather in the Sound started calm, a light north wind around 5 knots and hazy morning skies, with waves about two feet or less—great conditions for both boat and shoreline casting, according to the National Weather Service. **Tidal movement is shaping today’s bite:** We had a high tide early at 2:47 AM (9.19 ft), dropping to a low at 9:56 AM (-0.41 ft). The next big high rolls in at 5:16 PM (11.27 ft), with an evening low around 10:49 PM (5.78 ft). These big swings tend to wake up the salmon and attract baitfish into the shallows. If you’re timing your cast, hit just after the morning low and before the evening high for best activity. Let’s talk fish. The buzz this week is all about **Chinook salmon**, with Whatcom Creek expecting a historic run—over 7,000 hatchery Chinook making their return, thanks to coordinated hatchery efforts, reports SeafoodNews.com. That’s promising news for the greater Sound, as these runs spill into connecting creeks and boost efforts for Southern Resident orca prey and tribal fisheries. Don’t sleep on the other regulars: **Spotted ratfish have been everywhere, especially around Friday Harbor Labs and the shallows**. Not the hottest table fare, but they sure add variety to any haul—plus, they’re a quirky catch with their telltale forehead structure, says University of Washington researchers. For lures, the Chinook are smashing **chartreuse flashers paired with herring strips or anchovy rigs on a mooching setup**. Coho and pinks—still nipping in the mix—have favored **white hoochies, pink buzz bombs, and green spoons**. For ratfish and the smaller bottom dwellers, try a basic lead jig or chunk of squid. If bait is your game, go with **fresh herring, candlefish, or sand shrimp**. These have kept boats busy from Edmonds to Tacoma, especially where tidal currents run strong and bait is thick. Recent catches: Chinook salmon counts have upticked in the north Sound, with anglers reporting steady limits near Point No Point. Coho action is moderate but picking up in Elliott Bay, often mixed with a few lingering pinks. Ratfish have been almost too abundant around Vashon Island shoals—with some reports of dozens per outing, which is an odd but fun distraction before the winter bite sets in. For hot spots today: - **Shilshole Bay**: Great for resident and migrating salmon, best right after slack tide. - **Point Defiance (Tacoma)**: Always a September staple, especially for Chinook hitting cut-plug herring or anchovy off Owen Beach. - **Edmonds Pier**: A shore-casting favorite for coho and pinks, particularly from late afternoon through dusk.

We’re coming off a gorgeous sunrise at 6:26 a.m., and you’ll have daylight until about 7:51 p.m. Get out early or stay late—the fish are active when the light changes. The tide pushed low this morning around 4:15 a.m. and swings up to high at 11:34 a.m., then another low tide will hit about 4:20 p.m. These moderate tidal swings mean current movement is there, but nothing too crazy; perfect conditions for controlled drifts and productive trolling, so time your trips around those tide changes. Weatherwise, it’s a classic late-summer Puget Sound day. Expect light north winds 5 to 10 knots picking up just a bit in the afternoon, waves running under 2 feet, and mild temps. Visibility is good, and there’s no rain in sight, so whether you’re casting from shore or heading out in the kayak, today’s a go. On the fishing front, the big word is **salmon**. Fresh coho have been moving through all week, with solid numbers reported off West Point and down near Point Defiance. Anglers are scoring both resident and ocean-run fish in the 4-to-7-pound class, and that’s just right for the grill. Trolling’s been the ticket—try a green and silver hoochie or a UV flasher and a 32-inch leader paired with a 3.5-inch spoon. Moochers have done just as well rigging up herring with a slow roll at 70 to 100 feet; that herring helmet rig you see the locals using lets you get a perfect spin, which salmon can’t resist. Keep an eye out for pink salmon too—odd-numbered years mean bumper pinks, and they’ve been thick from Everett down to Brown’s Point. Get your hands on pink or chartreuse buzz bombs, or if you’re on the beach, try a pink hoochie under a float. They’re feeding aggressively—don’t be afraid to go small and bright. Don’t pass up a little bottom fishing either—lingcod and cabezon have been landed, especially around the pilings and the artificial reefs off Shilshole. Use a white grub jig or a 6-inch swim bait and drop them right into the structure. Crabbing has slowed, but a few Dungeness are still coming up in the deeper pots between Edmonds and Whidbey. For bait, you can’t beat fresh herring trolled behind a flasher for coho, but if you’re light on bait, switch to a glow hoochie, especially if you’re fishing deep or in that early morning murk. Glow lures are hot right now and give you an edge when you’re down in the 100-foot zone. Hot spots today: - West Point sand spit: great tidal movement and bait balls drawing in chinook and coho. - Browns Point to Dash Point: great beach access for pinks and coho, especially a couple hours on either side of the tide change. In summary: tides are mellow, water’s warm, weather’s stable, and salmon are on the chew—just what we like to see this time of year. Thanks for tuning in to your Puget Sound fishing report.

The sun came up at 6:27 this morning and we’re heading for a sunset at 7:50 tonight. Light winds and partly cloudy skies mean a prime day to be out on the salt and the lakes, with mild temps and barely any chop to worry about. The tides today are running low at 5:19 a.m. at 1.74 feet, high at 1:01 p.m. at just over 9 feet, a moderate low at 5:27 p.m., then topping out again around 10:30 tonight, so you’ll want to adjust your search zones according to the swings; early and late will find fish on the move. According to Fish Hunt Northwest and the Outdoor Line crew, *pink salmon* fishing is “absolutely bonkers” right now—August is prime for the pinks, and they’re being found in big numbers throughout the main Sound from Everett down to Tacoma. Coho are showing up strong, with recent catches pushing double digits for weight, especially as the morning high slack gives way and the tide starts moving. Chinook action has been best around Marine Areas 11 and 13—commonly 25-to-50 feet on the downrigger—so get down and cover ground. In terms of numbers: boats are limiting on pinks, seeing plenty of coho, and some solid chinook up to 15 pounds have come over the rails since Friday. For lures, folks are finding top marks on *Brads Skinny Mini’s matched with mini hoochies* in pink, chartreuse, and purple—these are devastating for both pinks and silvers. Mack’s Lure Wiggle Hoochies or standard Ace High flies in the classic pink UV work best. Trollers should run *cut-plug herring, anchovy, or herring strips* behind moon-jelly or green flashers. Spin anglers from shore are slaying pinks with pink Buzz Bombs or small pearl Rotators—switch to blue over silver to up your coho odds as the light rises. If you’re targeting trout in the lakes, remember the WDFW 10th annual Statewide Trout Derby runs until Halloween—look for yellow-tagged rainbows in the local stocker lakes and bring in a prize with any tagged catch. PowerBait in chartreuse and orange or a simple worm on a slip sinker is getting bit. Hot spots today: - **Edmonds Oil Docks**: Pink salmon are piled up, especially right at high tide. The area’s been producing coho for troll and jig anglers alike. - **Lincoln Park Beach (West Seattle)**: Morning bite for pinks and coho, shore jiggers are landing fish before the crowds kick up. - **Tacoma Narrows Bridge**: Deeper water, higher tide, best for chinook and rockfish. Crabbers are also seeing solid hauls—pots packed with Dungeness from Browns Point to Point Defiance on the ebb, but check your regs as season changes are coming fast. With the solunar forecast calling for strong fish activity all day, this is a “can’t-miss” weekend. Best advice: bounce around with the changing tides, work the midwater columns on the high, stay mobile, and don’t sleep on it when the bite pops.

Today’s weather is setting up a classic late August scene: temps in the upper 60s by noon, patchy clouds, and a gentle breeze out of the north. Sunrise was just after 6:20 AM and sunset rolls in around 7:51 PM, giving plenty of daylight to work all tides. Tidal action will be prime for morning outings. According to NOAA Tides & Currents, we saw a low at 3:30 AM at 1.3 feet, followed by a solid high at 10:16 AM pushing nearly 9 feet, then it drops again to a modest low around 3:28 PM. That mid-morning push is the hot window—perfect for targeting feeding salmon and sea-run cutthroat close to shore. Let's talk fish activity. The buzz this week has been about coho making their way in, especially with that stronger tidal influence. Shore anglers have been doing well at the mouth of the Duwamish and up at Edmonds Pier, and boaters are trolling up bright fish off Jeff Head and Point No Point. Mixed in have been respectable reports of pinks, especially in the Narrows and out toward Dash Point, with a few lingering chums showing around the Nisqually delta. Don’t sleep on resident blackmouth or late summer lingcod, still prowling structure around Shilshole and West Seattle. They’re inhaling 5- to 7-inch herring trolled deep or worked with chrome jigs. The trout crowd has been seeing action too. If you’re looking for a freshwater fix, the statewide Trout Derby is still on, and several area lakes—including Green Lake and Lake Sammamish—are freshly stocked with tagged rainbows, according to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s calendar and derby hotline. Don’t forget: those yellow tags mean prizes—just land one, hold onto the tag, and follow the WDFW instructions for your shot. Best lures and bait? For salmon, nothing beats a UV hoochie squid in pink or chartreuse behind a flasher for boaters. Shore anglers are connecting with 1/2 to 1 ounce Buzz Bombs in “pink pearl” or “cop car,” or pink mini-jigs beneath a float. Herring or anchovy in a helmet is the top natural bait. For cutthroat, toss olive or white Clouser minnows for fly guys, or small silver spoons and spinners for spin casters. And don’t be shy about tipping your gear with a little scent—anchovy or shrimp gel is working overtime. A couple local hot spots to try right now: - The area just out from Lincoln Park, in West Seattle, for hungry Puget Sound salmon chasing bait balls on that flood tide. - Point No Point—early risers are landing both coho and pinks from shore and kayaks. - If the salt is slow, hit Green Lake or Lake Sammamish during the Derby—both are packed with rainbow trout, and the prizes are no joke. This is shaping up to be a banner weekend. Don’t forget your license, pack your rain layer just in case, and as always, check local regs for any late changes before heading out This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let’s start with conditions: Today’s sunrise clicked in at 6:23 AM, and we’ll see sunset at 7:55 PM. Weather is looking classic late-August—sun peeking through light marine clouds, highs in the mid-70s, light northwest breeze, and a stable barometer—prime fishing weather. Tides are moderate today, with a low tide at 2:50 AM, high at 9:12 AM, another low at 2:41 PM, and a high rolling in at 8:41 PM, as reported by Tides4Fishing. We’re working with a tidal coefficient around 61 dropping to 49 through the day—not extreme swings, but enough current flow to keep feeding opportunities up near structure and points. Fishing action around the Sound has been outstanding for late summer. Pink salmon are in thick, with Instagram reports showing strong catches nearly every morning, and crews limiting out on humpies whether casting from shore or trolling in the early hours. The 2025 season, being an odd year, means pinks are the main event. Silvers (coho) are showing up in decent numbers, too, especially around West Point, Lincoln Park, and out by Shilshole. Washington Fish Reports mentioned recent charters scoring limits with a few kings in the mix—always a welcome surprise so late in August. Shore anglers at the Edmonds pier and at the mouth of the Duwamish have also been seeing solid mixed bags—think pinks, coho, and the occasional resident blackmouth. The hot lures right now are 2.5 to 3-inch pink or chartreuse twitching jigs, especially for targeting pinks in shallower water or off the beach. If you’re trolling, go with a dodger-and-hoochie set-up in pink or white for pinks, and switch to green or blue flash for silvers. Herring—either cut-plug or whole—is drawing bigger fish if you’re running downriggers deeper off the ledge in 60-90 feet. Early morning and evening tides have been best, but don’t rule out mid-day; even a dropping tide can trap baitfish near the estuaries. For bait, fresh herring is gold if you can grab some, but sand shrimp and prawn chunks are turning heads for both salmon and the odd flounder or dogfish willing to chomp. If you’re looking for hot spots: - Shilshole Bay out near the shipping lanes is loaded with pinks on the move and some large coho starting to stage. - The mouth of Lincoln Park has good shoreline access for casting jigs and spoons. - Up north at Edmonds Pier, action peaks on the incoming tide—great place for family-friendly fishing with easy jigging for pinks and the chance at late summer resident coho. Remember, check local regulations as closures or retention rules can shift quickly in late season—especially for kings. Marine Area 1 is closed for salmon this week, so stick to open areas like 10 and 11 around Seattle. That wraps it for Puget Sound!

Let’s start with conditions: Today’s sunrise clicked in at 6:23 AM, and we’ll see sunset at 7:55 PM. Weather is looking classic late-August—sun peeking through light marine clouds, highs in the mid-70s, light northwest breeze, and a stable barometer—prime fishing weather. Tides are moderate today, with a low tide at 2:50 AM, high at 9:12 AM, another low at 2:41 PM, and a high rolling in at 8:41 PM, as reported by Tides4Fishing. We’re working with a tidal coefficient around 61 dropping to 49 through the day—not extreme swings, but enough current flow to keep feeding opportunities up near structure and points. Fishing action around the Sound has been outstanding for late summer. Pink salmon are in thick, with Instagram reports showing strong catches nearly every morning, and crews limiting out on humpies whether casting from shore or trolling in the early hours. The 2025 season, being an odd year, means pinks are the main event. Silvers (coho) are showing up in decent numbers, too, especially around West Point, Lincoln Park, and out by Shilshole. Washington Fish Reports mentioned recent charters scoring limits with a few kings in the mix—always a welcome surprise so late in August. Shore anglers at the Edmonds pier and at the mouth of the Duwamish have also been seeing solid mixed bags—think pinks, coho, and the occasional resident blackmouth. The hot lures right now are 2.5 to 3-inch pink or chartreuse twitching jigs, especially for targeting pinks in shallower water or off the beach. If you’re trolling, go with a dodger-and-hoochie set-up in pink or white for pinks, and switch to green or blue flash for silvers. Herring—either cut-plug or whole—is drawing bigger fish if you’re running downriggers deeper off the ledge in 60-90 feet. Early morning and evening tides have been best, but don’t rule out mid-day; even a dropping tide can trap baitfish near the estuaries. For bait, fresh herring is gold if you can grab some, but sand shrimp and prawn chunks are turning heads for both salmon and the odd flounder or dogfish willing to chomp. If you’re looking for hot spots: - Shilshole Bay out near the shipping lanes is loaded with pinks on the move and some large coho starting to stage. - The mouth of Lincoln Park has good shoreline access for casting jigs and spoons. - Up north at Edmonds Pier, action peaks on the incoming tide—great place for family-friendly fishing with easy jigging for pinks and the chance at late summer resident coho. Remember, check local regulations as closures or retention rules can shift quickly in late season—especially for kings. Marine Area 1 is closed for salmon this week, so stick to open areas like 10 and 11 around Seattle. That wraps it for Puget Sound!

The weather stayed friendly—light south winds at 5 knots, waves 2 feet or less, and partly cloudy skies. Temperatures hovered in the upper 60s with comfortable humidity, perfect for a long day on the salt. Sunrise came at 6:23 AM and sunset hit at 7:56 PM, providing generous daylight for both sunrise-timers and those squeezing in a last cast after work. Tides ran moderate today, with an early morning low at 2:52 AM, peaking to a strong high tide at 9:12 AM near 9.5 feet, holding steady through a mid-afternoon ebb, and pushing back up to 10.9 feet at 8:45 PM—a cycle that set up productive shoreline fishing windows around both highs. The pink salmon run remains the headline. Local footage posted just this morning from Puget Sound beaches showed anglers landing pinks right off the sand, alongside the spectacular sight of orcas cruising close to shore. It’s a banner season—Alan Liere’s latest outdoors report confirms that this near-record pink run is still bending rods all around the Sound and should keep going strong into September. Whichever pier or beach you’re working, you’re sharing the grounds with a pile of humpties. Expect most catches to be pinks, though a handful of silvers (Coho) are showing in the mix as well, especially for boaters working deeper rips. Hot spots today include Lincoln Park’s north shore, where beach and pier anglers have been congregating right alongside commercial purse-seiners scooping pinks by the net load. Edmonds Pier and Les Davis Pier are local favorites, with non-stop action reported. In the rivers, Puyallup and Skagit are producing consistently in the lower tide cycles, with Green and Snohomish pushing solid numbers as well. Picnic Point and Point No Point are busy and fishing well for shore casters seeking pinks and some bonus coho. Best approach for the pink madness: pink lures—spoons, spinners, or jigs up to 1/2 ounce. Chartreuse and white variations are worth a try if the bite slows, but the classic pink pattern is king. Most bait anglers are doing well with small pieces of shrimp, but honestly, hardware is outperforming bait. If you’re chasing coho or bonus Chinook, try blue and silver Krocodile spoons or standard cut-plug herring trolled at 60-80 feet if you’ve got a boat. Elsewhere in the Sound, a few Chinook are coming in from deeper marks, especially in the shipping lanes and South Sound near Point Defiance—but these fish are scattered and require patience. Reports from West Seattle indicate commercial activity targeting pinks, and recreational anglers should keep an eye out for purse-seine nets. Bottom fishers found decent luck on the usual suspects—flatfish sitting tight to the bottom near Elliott Bay and Des Moines. Lingcod and rockfish are present but patchy, and most anglers continue to focus on salmon. With the moon waxing and barometric pressure stable, expect fish activity to persist fo This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let’s start with the conditions. Today’s sunrise was at 5:12 AM and sunset will fall at 9:11 PM, giving you plenty of daylight. The weather is classic June: cool in the morning, warming up into the high 60s by midday, with high clouds and a light breeze. Water temps are holding steady in the mid-50s, and those tidal swings are big this weekend—expect lots of bait movement and active fish, especially around rips and current breaks, according to the Puget Sound Seattle Daily Fishing Report. Fish activity is ramping up. Recent creel reports from the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife show solid Chinook salmon action in Marine Areas 9 and 10, with anglers pulling in respectable numbers of 8 to 15 pounders closer to Edmonds and Shilshole. Resident Coho, or “silvers,” are starting to show in better numbers, especially on the outgoing tide—these fish are feisty, with most catches averaging 3 to 6 pounds. Some pink salmon have been spotted farther north, but the big push is still a few weeks away, as noted in the latest Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife Life Outdoors Report. Halibut season is still open through the end of June in Puget Sound marine areas 5 through 10. While the best action has been out toward Possession Bar, you’ll find occasional keepers near Point No Point—just remember the daily limit is one fish, no minimum size, and barbless hooks are required for all bottomfish and halibut. For lures, trollers are finding success with 3” to 4” herring or anchovy imitation spoons behind green or chartreuse flashers. Coho Killers and Ace Hi Flies in white glow or green splatter patterns are working well. Mooching cut-plug herring in 60-120 feet has also produced Chinook, especially near West Point and Jefferson Head. For shore anglers, try casting Buzz Bombs in silver, pink, or blue from beaches at Lincoln Park or Golden Gardens at dawn. If you’re after sea-run cutthroat on the fly, stick to baitfish patterns and intermediate lines—Emerald Water Anglers says clouser minnows and small herring imitations are the ticket right now, especially in the morning in the South Sound and along the beaches of Bainbridge. Hot spots this week include: - West Point for Chinook and Coho action, especially on the outgoing tide - Jefferson Head for deeper trolling and halibut - Lincoln Park and Golden Gardens for shore casting to Coho at dawn Crabbing season opens in early July, so be sure to check WDFW regulations for your area and get your gear ready.

Today’s conditions were classic June in the Sound: cloud cover early, lifting towards midday, highs brushing up against 70°F, and light winds—perfect for both saltwater and shore anglers. Sunrise clocked in at 5:10 AM with sunset expected around 9:10 PM, giving us those long summer fishing windows we all crave. The tidal swing today brought a moderate morning ebb, bottoming out around 10:15 AM, followed by a rising afternoon tide that peaked just after 4 PM. This upswing really sparked baitfish movement along the shorelines, pulling in predatory fish across the usual haunts. According to the latest WDFW creel reports, Chinook and coho salmon action is ramping up, with solid catches around central Sound and north to Everett. Seattle’s Area 10 is showing strong early summer numbers—26 Chinook and a handful of coho reported at the Everett ramp in just the last week. The 2025 forecast has pink salmon runs at nearly 7.8 million fish, a bump of over 70% from the recent 10-year cycle, so expect the pinks to really start pushing in soon, especially around the Green and Nisqually river mouths this summer. Halibut anglers are still bringing in some decent fish before the season closes at the end of the month. Remember, the 2025 Puget Sound halibut quota is just under 80,000 lbs, with a one-fish daily limit—so get out before the season wraps on June 30th. On the bottomfish front, lingcod have been hitting well near rocky structure and deep edges. Recent reports from BD Outdoors noted a nice 28" lingcod caught with live bait in Area 9. Soft plastics in herring or sandlance colors, as well as large swimbaits, continue to produce—try white or chartreuse for visibility. For lures and bait, salmon are hitting well on hoochies in green/white and flasher combos, as well as 3" to 4" spoons like Coho Killers and Coyote spoons. Don’t overlook trolling a cut-plug herring or anchovy, especially around the mouth of Shilshole Bay and westward toward Possession Bar. Lingcod continue to smash live sand dabs and large swimbaits, while shore-bound anglers are picking up surf perch and smaller rockfish with Gulp! sandworms on dropshot rigs. Hot spots today? Shilshole Bay and West Point lit up for early Chinook and the occasional coho, while the classic rips off Possession Bar produced for trollers at first light and again on the afternoon flood. Along the Tacoma Narrows and the pilings at Edmonds, anglers reported steady action for both blackmouth and bottomfish. Thanks for tuning in.

We’re right in the heart of prime saltwater fishing season, with the Solstice just behind us and Seattle putting on some picture-perfect conditions. Sunrise came early at 5:10 a.m. and sunset’s stretching all the way to 9:10 p.m., so anglers have a generous window today to chase fish at both dawn and dusk. Weather-wise, we’re seeing classic June gloom in the morning with temps in the mid-50s, clearing out and warming up into the low 70s by mid-afternoon. Light westerly winds are in the forecast, meaning most areas should stay fishable and comfortable through the day. Checking the tide chart, there’s a strong morning high right around 7:45 a.m., which should trigger a flurry of activity on the outgoing tide and again as the tide swings back later in the afternoon. Recent catches have shown Puget Sound is really heating up. Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife creel reports show strong catches of resident Coho with the occasional early Chinook turning up, especially from Area 10 (Seattle-Bremerton zone) down through Area 13. If you’re looking for variety, the Lingcod bite is tapering off as the season winds down, but there are still quality fish hanging on structure, particularly around Possession Bar and the Tacoma Narrows. Halibut catches are on the decline as quota fills, yet a few solid fish are still reported north in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and local banks. For gear, salmon anglers are doing best running smaller spoons and hoochies, with green and chartreuse patterns taking plenty of hits. If you’re mooching or drifting herring, try plug-cut or whole to match the local forage. Trolling flasher-and-squid combos remains a top tactic with shorter leaders in choppier water. Fly anglers should size up their baitfish patterns—think size 4-10 with distinct markings to mimic the maturing local forage, and don’t sleep on topwater flies for energetic cutthroat and coho. If you’re after hot spots, Possession Point at the southern tip of Whidbey Island stands out with its intersection of migration routes and deep, reefy structure—a classic for both salmon and Lingcod. Elliott Bay is also producing, especially early and late, with a shot at bigger Chinook as summer runs build steam. Down south, the Tacoma Narrows is prime for both salmon and Lingcod, thanks to its strong currents and schools of bait pinned tight to structure. Looking ahead, late summer promises a massive Pink Salmon return, so keep an eye on north-end beaches like Point No Point and Kayak Point for that run.

Checking the tide chart, there’s a strong morning high right around 7:45 a.m., which should trigger a flurry of activity on the outgoing tide and again as the tide swings back later in the afternoon. Recent catches have shown Puget Sound is really heating up. Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife creel reports show strong catches of resident Coho with the occasional early Chinook turning up, especially from Area 10 (Seattle-Bremerton zone) down through Area 13. If you’re looking for variety, the Lingcod bite is tapering off as the season winds down, but there are still quality fish hanging on structure, particularly around Possession Bar and the Tacoma Narrows. Halibut catches are on the decline as quota fills, yet a few solid fish are still reported north in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and local banks. For gear, salmon anglers are doing best running smaller spoons and hoochies, with green and chartreuse patterns taking plenty of hits. If you’re mooching or drifting herring, try plug-cut or whole to match the local forage. Trolling flasher-and-squid combos remains a top tactic with shorter leaders in choppier water. Fly anglers should size up their baitfish patterns—think size 4-10 with distinct markings to mimic the maturing local forage, and don’t sleep on topwater flies for energetic cutthroat and coho. If you’re after hot spots, Possession Point at the southern tip of Whidbey Island stands out with its intersection of migration routes and deep, reefy structure—a classic for both salmon and Lingcod. Elliott Bay is also producing, especially early and late, with a shot at bigger Chinook as summer runs build steam. Down south, the Tacoma Narrows is prime for both salmon and Lingcod, thanks to its strong currents and schools of bait pinned tight to structure. Looking ahead, late summer promises a massive Pink Salmon return, so keep an eye on north-end beaches like Point No Point and Kayak Point for that run.

Sunrise splashed through at 5:11 AM, and you’ll have daylight until a lingering sunset at 9:09 PM. Temps are hovering in the low 60s, making for comfortable, if a bit damp, conditions on the water. Tidal swings today are prime for moving bait and heating up the bite. We’ve got a moderate outgoing tide through the morning, bottoming out around noon, with a strong flood pushing bait back in through the afternoon—ideal for salmon and sea-run cutthroat hunters. According to Emerald Water Anglers, these shifts are great for working beaches and structure, especially with so much forage in the mix this time of year. On the salt, the main story this week is the resident Coho salmon, or “silvers.” They’re in full swing right now, with strong reports of steady action around Seattle. Cut Plug Charters is calling it “some of the best light tackle fishing for Salmon and Lingcod out of Seattle” and says the bite has been “epic” on days when the schools push in close to the surface. Most fish are running 3–6 pounds, but there are some bigger surprises in the mix. Light trolling with small hoochies, white or chartreuse Ace-Hi flies, and three-inch spoons have been the go-to, fished behind a dodger. Try herring or anchovy brined baits for that natural appeal if the bite gets tricky. Lingcod fishing has been solid as well, with most successful rigs using live bait or large swimbaits in 50–100 feet of water. Structure around Elliott Bay and the south side of Bainbridge Island are holding fish—don’t be afraid to target those rocky drop-offs. The 2025 Puget Sound pink salmon forecast is massive—over 7.7 million expected, one of the best runs in recent history, so early pinks could show at any time if you’re in the right spot, especially near the mouth of the Green or Nisqually Rivers. Down south, Avid Angler notes sea-run cutthroat action is still rolling, with plenty of chum fry and baitfish holding along the beaches. Small sand lance and herring patterns, along with chum fry imitations, are working well for fly anglers. This is a great time to hit places like Lincoln Park, Seahurst Park, or Point No Point. For halibut fans, the fishery is open through June 30 in most Marine Areas, so there’s still time to target these tasty flats. Focus on the deeper reefs in Marine Area 10, using bait herring on spreader bars or large white grub jigs. Hot spots today? For salmon, try Jeff Head and Meadow Point in the morning and the Tacoma Narrows on the afternoon flood. For cutthroat, hit the flats at Dash Point and the beaches of Southworth.

Let’s start with today’s tidal and weather setup. We’re seeing pronounced tidal swings across the central and north Sound, with strong currents especially in the morning—perfect for stirring up bait and creating prime opportunities for both boat and shore anglers. Sunrise was a crack-of-dawn 5:12 AM and sunset will close out your day at 9:07 PM. Expect classic Puget Sound June conditions—cool, dry air, scattered clouds, and a refreshing westerly breeze whipping across Elliott Bay and up into the inlets. The best fishing windows are around first light and last light, when the water is calm and predators are on the hunt. The bite’s been strong the last few days. According to daily reports from the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife creel samplers, Chinook salmon action is picking up steam, especially off Edmonds and Possession Bar. Recent catches include several healthy resident Kings in the mid-teens, with local guides celebrating some very quick limits. Resident Coho are beginning to show in better numbers—nothing huge yet, but scrappy fish are taking baits both north and south of Seattle. Anglers on the beaches are also seeing a nice push of Sea-Run Cutthroat, plus a few late Chum fry keeping bait balls close to shore. Baitfish—mainly herring, sand lance, and shiner perch—are thick right now, which means the predators are in and hungry. For lures, you can’t go wrong with the classics: try trolling 3-inch green or purple haze hoochies behind a flasher, or rig a cut-plug herring for the salmon. Metal jigs like Pt. Wilson Darts and Buzz Bombs are drawing aggressive strikes, especially where the tide is running. Shore casters should swing small Clousers, epoxy minnows, or white/chartreuse soft plastics for cutthroat and Coho. If you’ve got shrimp or squid, now’s a great time to soak those baits for hungry Lingcod—these toothy critters are still hot on the bite near rocky structure. Hot spots right now include Possession Bar off the south tip of Whidbey Island—one of the best places in the Sound for both Chinook and Coho, with strong tidal flow and tons of bait holding fish close. Elliott Bay is producing decent catches for city-bound anglers, especially for salmon running the shipping lanes at dawn. Down south, the Tacoma Narrows is living up to its legacy for both salmon and Lingcod, though you’ll want to watch those currents. A quick reminder: while rivers like the Nooksack remain closed to protect ESA-listed Chinook, most Sound fisheries are open, but regulations change fast—so check the WDFW emergency rules before heading out.

Shore casters should swing small Clousers, epoxy minnows, or white/chartreuse soft plastics for cutthroat and Coho. If you’ve got shrimp or squid, now’s a great time to soak those baits for hungry Lingcod—these toothy critters are still hot on the bite near rocky structure. Hot spots right now include Possession Bar off the south tip of Whidbey Island—one of the best places in the Sound for both Chinook and Coho, with strong tidal flow and tons of bait holding fish close. Elliott Bay is producing decent catches for city-bound anglers, especially for salmon running the shipping lanes at dawn. Down south, the Tacoma Narrows is living up to its legacy for both salmon and Lingcod, though you’ll want to watch those currents. A quick reminder: while rivers like the Nooksack remain closed to protect ESA-listed Chinook, most Sound fisheries are open, but regulations change fast—so check the WDFW emergency rules before heading out.

First things first, let’s talk tides. Today, Puget Sound’s large tidal swings are moving bait and making for dynamic conditions. Strong tidal currents are expected, especially in the morning—ideal for predatory fish on the hunt. Low tides will reveal some prime structure, so consider scouting those beaches and rocky points for active fish. Weather-wise, we’re looking at a classic Northwest early summer day—cool and dry, with scattered clouds and a breeze off the Sound. Sunrise was at 5:12 AM, and you can expect sunset around 9:07 PM. Prime fishing windows are early morning and late evening, when the light is low and the fish are more active. The latest creel reports from the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife and local guides show strong action on Chinook (King) Salmon. Just yesterday near Edmonds, anglers landed lively, healthy Kings—two big ones in just a short session. Resident Coho are also showing up, and those targeting Sea-Run Cutthroat are reporting steady action all around South and North Puget Sound. The beaches are still holding Chum fry and lots of bait—herring, sand lance, and shiner perch are abundant, so predators are in close and hungry. For lures and bait, here’s what’s hitting: - For salmon, needlefish hoochies, Coho Killers, and green or chartreuse spoons are producing well trolled behind a flasher. - Cutthroat are hammering chum fry imitations, small sand lance patterns, and even surface flies—so pack a selection if you’re fly fishing. - If you’re after bottomfish, Lingcod are still around. Try large white swimbaits, herring on a jighead, or metal jigs near structure. Today’s hotspots include: - Possession Point: The southern tip of Whidbey Island is always a solid bet, especially on outgoing tides. The convergence of bait and current here draws big salmon. - Tacoma Narrows: Especially between Point Evans and the bridge, this is a salmon magnet right now, and Lingcod fishing is productive near rock piles and ledges. - If you’re staying close to the city, try Elliott Bay early or late—just check the season’s specific openings and regulations. And don’t forget, spot shrimp opens for a limited window today in Marine Area 8-1 and 8-2 (Saratoga Passage and Everett). It’s a great chance to top off your catch with a bucket of these sweet treats. Free fishing weekend is fast approaching, rivers are opening, and pinks are expected to flood the Sound later this summer. Keep an eye on emergency rule updates, respect the regs, and be ready for a bustling season. Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure. Be sure to subscribe for all the latest reports and tips.

Sunrise hit at 5:13 a.m. and we’re looking at sunset just after 9:00 p.m. The Sound greeted anglers this morning with cool, partly cloudy skies, afternoon highs near 68°F, and moderate onshore winds—classic early summer Seattle weather. Tides today are swinging with a strong exchange, with a morning high around 7 a.m., dropping to a minus tide mid-afternoon, then filling back in for the evening bite—solid conditions for shoreline and boat anglers. Let’s talk fish activity. As reported by the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife’s latest creel reports, it’s shaping up to be another banner year for Puget Sound salmon. The 2025 pink salmon forecast is a staggering 7.76 million—about 70% above the decade average—so expect a pink-fueled summer[Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife]. Right now, Chinook are starting to show in the north Sound and are moving steadily south; these “kings” will get thicker as we move further into June. Coho (silvers) are just beginning to make a showing, with the bulk of the run expected to arrive later this month, but a few resident silvers are already being picked up around the South Sound[PNW BestLife, Fishing Booker]. The Avid Angler’s latest reports from early May confirm that sea-run cutthroat are hunting beaches hard, chasing chum fry and sandlance—these are prime shore game with small flies or lures that mimic local fry, herring, shiner perch, or sandlance. Bottom fishers, it’s been a good spring for halibut and lingcod, with halibut season running through June 30 in marine areas 5 through 10. There’s a one-fish daily limit, and barbless hooks are required for halibut and all bottomfish—don’t forget to log those catches on your record card[Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife]. Recent catch amounts? Salmon guides and local charters out of Shilshole and Edmonds are reporting swift Chinook action, with fish mostly in the 8–18 lb range, and some early pinks already in the mix. Halibut catches have been steady, especially on the midweek tides, with a few larger fish (30–40 lbs) landed off Possession Bar and Point Wilson. Best lures and bait? For salmon, try 3”–5” herring or anchovy behind a green or white flasher, or herring-pattern spoons. If you’re chasing beach coho or cutthroat, small epoxy minnows, olive-over-white clousers, and pink/white hoochies are top picks. For halibut, it’s tough to beat a large herring or squid-tipped jig, with scent always upping your odds. Hot spots today: Shilshole Bay is producing Chinook for early risers trolling tight to the bottom, and the south end of Bainbridge Island is seeing good action for both blackmouth and the first pinks. For shore anglers, Lincoln Park and Seahurst Park are putting out sea-run cutthroat and the occasional resident coho. Thanks for tuning in to your Puget Sound fishing report.

The sun came up bright and early at 5:17 AM, and we’re looking at a clear, mild day with temps hovering in the upper 50s and low 60s—perfect for getting some lines wet. Sunset will be at 8:57 PM tonight, giving us plenty of daylight hours for that post-work bite. According to tidal charts, we’re experiencing large swings this weekend, which means plenty of bait movement and hungry fish cruising the rips and current lines. The action in Puget Sound is heating up as we move into summer patterns. Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife creel reports confirm that spring Chinook salmon are being caught, mostly off Point Defiance and Edmonds, with a few solid catches out around Possession Bar as well. Lingcod season is still open and delivering steady action: anglers targeting rocky structure around Shilshole and the Tacoma Narrows have had luck with both live bait and artificials. The south Sound continues to produce sea-run cutthroat, with resident coho starting to show in greater numbers, especially near the mouths of small creeks and the flats from Olympia up to Gig Harbor. Baitfish are everywhere right now—chum fry, sand lance, and herring are all crowding the beaches. If you’re fly fishing, local shops like The Avid Angler recommend chum fry patterns, small sand lance imitations, and a few herring or krill flies just in case the fish get picky. For gear anglers, nothing beats a Silver Horde Kingfisher Spoon behind a flasher for coho and Chinook. Chartreuse and green patterns have been especially hot. For the bottomfish crowd, lead jigs like the Puget Pounder in 2- to 4-ounce sizes have been best for vertical jigging, particularly near Vashon and Fox Islands. Lingcod have responded well to white or glow swimbaits bounced close to structure—don’t be afraid to tip your plastics with a little scent or a chunk of herring for extra attraction. Hot spots to focus on today include: - Possession Bar: Always a strong bet for Chinook and coho when the tide is moving. - Point Defiance: Consistent salmon action, plus good structure for bottomfish. - South Sound beaches: Sea-run cutthroat and resident coho are eager right now, especially around the mouths of Deschutes and Minter Creeks. With favorable weather, lively tides, and plenty of fish in the system, grab your gear and hit the Sound.

The calendar says late May, but on the Sound it’s prime time for lingcod. The season opened May 1st and runs through June 15th, and right now the bite is strong from South Sound up toward Shilshole and Edmonds. Anglers are bringing in solid numbers of keeper lingcod between 26" and 36". According to Seattle’s Cut Plug Charters, the best way to get into these sea dragons is with live bait—sanddabs and small flounder are top choices if you can jig them up first thing in the morning. If you’re short on bait, a white swimbait, large curly-tail grub, or classic leadhead jig tipped with squid will turn heads, especially bounced off rocky structure or steep shelves near shore. Pink salmon are the buzz this year, with forecasts calling for 7.76 million pinks running up the Sound—one of the biggest returns in decades. While most marine salmon areas remain closed in May for conservation, you can expect that frenzy to kick into gear later in the summer. Keep your tackle box ready with pink hoochies, buzz bombs, or small spoons for when the season opens up, and be sure to check the latest regulations at the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife site. On the weather front, we’re starting the day under light clouds, with highs in the low 60s. Winds are out of the southwest around 5-10 knots—nice and manageable for small boats and kayaks. Sunrise was at 5:16 a.m., with sunset at 8:53 p.m., so you’ve got a nice long window for an after-work cast. Tide swings are moderate, with a low tide early morning swinging back to a strong flood by mid-afternoon. Lingcod tend to bite best during the start of that incoming tide, especially around boulder piles, reef edges, and the shadowy drop-offs near Alki and Possession Bar. If you’re looking for hot spots today, try the following: - Alki Reef: Consistent structure and easy access from shore or boat, with good reports of keeper lings caught on jigs and live flounder. - Shilshole Bay Breakwater: Productive for both lingcod and the occasional large rockfish. Fish the edges where the rocks meet sand. A few reminders: Lingcod retention is limited to one per day, 26-36” only, and you need a descending device on board for rockfish conservation. Always check the emergency rules before you launch. That wraps up your Puget Sound report for Friday, May 30th. Thanks for tuning in—don’t forget to subscribe for your next local update.

First light hit this morning at 5:18 am with sunrise right about 5:22 am. Expect sunset to roll in at 8:50 pm, giving us long days and plenty of fishing opportunity. Early risers got the best shot at some good bites with the overcast skies and mild temps in the upper 50s to low 60s. A light westerly breeze made for manageable drifts and a comfortable morning on the water. Tides in Puget Sound today are moderate, with a solid flood tide peaking mid-morning and a good outgoing tide through the afternoon, so timing a few hours before and after high tide should be productive. Fishing action is heating up with over six million salmon forecast to push into the Sound this season. Anglers are already reporting strong early pink salmon action and good numbers of resident coho. Chinook catches have started popping up, mostly on troll gear and deep mooching rigs near structure and current lines. Lingcod season is in full swing, open through June 15 in most areas with a one fish daily limit and barbless hooks required. Fish between 26 and 36 inches are fair game, but remember to stay in waters shallower than 120 feet for lingcod targeting. The word on the docks is that Point Defiance and Edmonds have been steady producers this week. Boats working the rips and eddies off Jeff Head and Possession Bar are finding success with mooched herring, 3-inch white or chartreuse curly-tail grubs, and chrome or green needlefish hoochies. Trolled Ace-Hi Flies and Silver Horde spoons in green-glow have been top-notch for both salmon and coho. Lingcod are hitting well on large soft plastic swimbaits in white or root beer, rigged on 2- to 4-ounce jig heads, and live bait like sand dabs where allowed. Rock piles and reefy drop-offs from Shilshole to Alki continue to produce legal lings. Creel checks this week show solid mixed-bag counts: boats are averaging one to two legal salmon and several folks are limiting on lings, with the occasional keeper flounder or rockfish in the mix. The shore crowd is doing best at Dash Point and Lincoln Park casting Buzz Bombs and Rotators, especially during the incoming tides. To sum up, focus your effort around the morning high slack and afternoon outgoing, stick with bright patterns for salmon and big plastics for lingcod, and be sure to check the regs for area-specific rules. Hot spots for today: try Possession Bar for salmon and the Tacoma Narrows for a shot at a trophy lingcod. Good luck and tight lines from your local fishing expert, Artificial Lure.

There’s a strong high tide mid-morning, with a good ebb into the late afternoon, making for prime action whether you’re casting off a pier or out on the boat. The weather’s mild and classic for this time of year, partly cloudy with a light NW breeze. Temps will top out in the mid-60s. Sunrise was early at 5:15 am, and you have until sunset at 8:55 pm to squeeze in every cast you can[1]. Salmon fishing is on fire following a recent run of strong catches. Chinook and Coho are being picked up at a steady clip near the Snohomish River mouth and around the San Juan Islands, with the broader forecast expecting over 6 million salmon back to the Sound this season[1][4]. Pink salmon numbers look better than any recent year, with over 7 million returning, so expect the bite to only improve as summer approaches[3]. Lingcod season opened May 1 and is still going strong, especially around reefs and rocky structure in central and south Sound. Anglers regularly report good-sized fish, but remember—one lingcod per person, with 26 to 36 inches as your keeper slot[1]. For halibut hunters, the early run is on. The hot spots are Hein Bank and Protection Island east in the Strait, plus classic favorites like Sekiu and Clallam Bay out west. These spots are pumping out fish for those who know how to work the tides and bottom structure[1]. If you are staying closer to shore, the south Sound beaches are still producing sea run cutthroat, with some resident coho showing up too. These fish are chasing chum fry, sand lance, and herring all over the shallow water[5]. Top lures and bait today—try trolling herring, anchovies, or hoochies for salmon, and use swimbaits or big jigs for targeting lingcod along rocky bottoms. For halibut, nothing beats a chunk of salted herring or octopus on a spreader bar. Fly fishers will find cutthroat willing to grab small chum fry or sand lance patterns, especially near creek mouths and points[1][5]. A couple of hot spots to hit today include Point No Point for shore or boat anglers seeking salmon and cutthroat, and the Edmonds oil docks for a decent shot at both salmon and lingcod. If heading north, don’t sleep on Possession Bar for Chinook and Hein Bank for halibut. That’s the scope for today. Good luck out there and tight lines.

Sunrise was early at 5:15 am, and you have until sunset at 8:55 pm to squeeze in every cast you can[1]. Salmon fishing is on fire following a recent run of strong catches. Chinook and Coho are being picked up at a steady clip near the Snohomish River mouth and around the San Juan Islands, with the broader forecast expecting over 6 million salmon back to the Sound this season[1][4]. Pink salmon numbers look better than any recent year, with over 7 million returning, so expect the bite to only improve as summer approaches[3]. Lingcod season opened May 1 and is still going strong, especially around reefs and rocky structure in central and south Sound. Anglers regularly report good-sized fish, but remember—one lingcod per person, with 26 to 36 inches as your keeper slot[1]. For halibut hunters, the early run is on. The hot spots are Hein Bank and Protection Island east in the Strait, plus classic favorites like Sekiu and Clallam Bay out west. These spots are pumping out fish for those who know how to work the tides and bottom structure[1]. If you are staying closer to shore, the south Sound beaches are still producing sea run cutthroat, with some resident coho showing up too. These fish are chasing chum fry, sand lance, and herring all over the shallow water[5]. Top lures and bait today—try trolling herring, anchovies, or hoochies for salmon, and use swimbaits or big jigs for targeting lingcod along rocky bottoms. For halibut, nothing beats a chunk of salted herring or octopus on a spreader bar. Fly fishers will find cutthroat willing to grab small chum fry or sand lance patterns, especially near creek mouths and points[1][5]. A couple of hot spots to hit today include Point No Point for shore or boat anglers seeking salmon and cutthroat, and the Edmonds oil docks for a decent shot at both salmon and lingcod. If heading north, don’t sleep on Possession Bar for Chinook and Hein Bank for halibut. That’s the scope for today. Good luck out there and tight lines.

Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning fishing report for the beautiful Puget Sound waters around Seattle. The sun rose at 5:17 AM today and will set at 8:53 PM, giving us plenty of daylight hours to hit the water. We've got partly cloudy skies with temperatures expected to reach the mid-60s – perfect fishing weather if you ask me! Light westerly winds around 5-10 knots are forecasted, making for calm waters throughout most of the Sound. As for tides, we're looking at a high tide of 11.2 feet at 9:23 AM followed by a low tide of 2.1 feet at 3:47 PM. That morning incoming tide should create some excellent opportunities, especially for halibut hunters. Speaking of halibut, the 2025 season has been productive since opening back in April. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife allocated 79,772 pounds for Puget Sound this year, and anglers have been making good use of it. Recent creel reports show decent success rates, with several nice-sized fish in the 30-40 pound range being brought in near Possession Bar and Point No Point. For those targeting halibut, try bouncing a large white or glow-in-the-dark jig tipped with herring or squid right along the bottom in 120-180 feet of water. I've had my best luck with slow, deliberate retrieves – these flatties aren't exactly speedsters! Salmon fishing has been steady but not spectacular. We're still a bit early for the big summer runs, but some nice blackmouth have been taken near Kingston and Jefferson Head. Trolling with flashers and spoons at depths of 60-90 feet seems to be the ticket. Green/white and blue/silver combos have been hot lately. The Edmonds Pier has been producing some decent lingcod action, with several fish in the 5-8 pound range reported last week. Curly-tailed jigs in the 4-6 ounce range are working well, especially in white or motor oil colors. For bank anglers, Shilshole Bay and Golden Gardens have been giving up some nice flounder and the occasional sea-run cutthroat. Sand shrimp or small Kastmaster spoons will get you into the action there. Hot spots for this week include the Possession Bar drift for halibut (watch those currents), the west side of Whidbey Island for lingcod, and the jetty at the Edmonds Marina for a mixed bag of bottomfish. Don't forget that WDFW conducts random sampling interviews throughout the season, so be ready to share your catch info if approached. This helps with those all-important future management decisions. That's all for today, folks. This is Artificial Lure saying tight lines and bent rods to all you Puget Sound anglers. I'll see you on the water!

It's a beautiful Saturday morning in the Sound, and fish are active! The early bird gets the worm today - sunrise was at 5:18 AM, so many of you diehards are already on the water. For the rest of you, there's plenty of daylight until sunset at 8:52 PM. Recent reports show promising action throughout Puget Sound. The big news is those pink salmon - we're expecting a monster return this year with forecasts of 7.76 million fish, which is 70% above our 10-year average[4]. While we're still early in the season, some early arrivals are being caught. Halibut fishing has been productive in Marine Areas 5 and 6, which opened April 3 and runs through June 30, seven days a week[5]. Remember your limit is one halibut per day, with an annual limit of six, and don't forget that catch card! For salmon anglers, Area 7 (San Juan Islands) has a two-fish limit, but you must release sockeye, chum, wild coho, and Chinook[2]. Note that Bellingham and Samish Bay remain closed to salmon through August 15. Water levels in our rivers are favorable - the Snoqualmie is running at ideal levels for both wading (300-1500cfs) and floating (750-1500cfs)[3]. The MF Snoqualmie and Cedar River are also in prime condition for wading. For bait, herring has been working well for salmon, while squid and octopus are your best bet for halibut. Lure-wise, I've had success with Coyote spoons in bright colors for salmon. For halibut, white curly tail jigs tipped with herring have been deadly. Hot spots this weekend include: 1. Possession Bar - The incoming tide around noon should trigger some good action 2. Point No Point - Always reliable this time of year 3. Shilshole Bay - Reports of some early pinks moving through The creel reports from WDFW show decent catch rates, though remember that data is preliminary and subject to change after quality control[1]. For you fly anglers, we're seeing the start of some good dry fly action on our rivers[3]. Size 14-16 caddis patterns have been productive in the evenings. Remember, fishing in most areas of Puget Sound is open seven days a week now through June, but always double-check the regs before heading out. That's all for today, folks.

We’re waking up to classic Seattle spring conditions out on the water today. Sunrise hit at 5:21 am and sunset will wrap things up around 8:51 pm, so you’ve got a long stretch of daylight to chase a bite. Expect cool temps in the upper 50s to low 60s, with patchy clouds and a light breeze—ideal for both boaters and shore anglers alike. Tides are running strong today with a high tide rolling in early around 7:30 am, topping out near 12 feet, dropping all the way to a negative low just before 2 pm, then swinging back to a solid high at 10 pm. These sharp changes mean hungry fish will be on the move during the tide switches, so time your casts for the first couple hours after high and low slack for best results. On the fishing front, there’s a buzz around the Sound thanks to a banner forecast for pink salmon this year. Over 7.7 million pinks are expected, nearly doubling the 10-year average, and early catches have already been reported around the Tacoma Narrows and on into the central Sound. Folks are doing well tossing pink Buzz Bombs, hoochies, and small spoons from both boat and beach. If you’re fishing from shore, the Edmonds pier or Point No Point are worth a look as schools start pushing shallower on the outgoing tide. Spring Chinook action remains decent through the middle Sound corridors. Anglers trolling herring or anchovies in bait strips, especially behind a flasher, are picking up springers around the south end of Vashon, West Seattle’s Lincoln Park, and out toward the mouth of the Duwamish. Early mornings have been best. Lingcod season is in full swing now through June 15. Try jigs or swimbaits in white or chartreuse along rocky structure up to 120 feet deep. Alki Point and the area around Shilshole Bay have produced solid keepers recently. Halibut numbers are also looking strong, with productive reports coming in from deep water off Possession Bar and out toward the east side of Whidbey Island. Big herring dropped to the bottom with plenty of scent is your best bet here. For live bait, herring and sand shrimp are top choices. Artificial lures like pink Buzz Bombs, Point Wilson Darts, and Hawken Aerojigs have been favorites for the salmon, while larger paddle-tail plastics and metal jigs turn heads from the lingcod. If you’re chasing a hot bite, check out Point Defiance boathouse for salmon and bottomfish, and hit the Edmonds Pier at either side of high tide for salmon and an outside chance at a searun cutthroat. Good luck out there, and remember to keep your hooks barbless and take a kid fishing if you can. This is Artificial Lure signing off—tight lines!

Let’s start with the conditions. The weather in the Seattle area today is classic late spring, with mostly cloudy skies and mild temps hovering around the upper 50s to low 60s. Winds are variable but manageable for small watercraft and shoreline casting. Sunrise hit at 5:22 AM and sunset will be around 8:46 PM, giving us more than enough daylight for morning and evening action. The tides are favorable today, with an early morning outgoing that should spark some good bite windows, especially at dawn and again around mid-afternoon as the water moves. Here’s the big headline—chinook and coho are closed in the inner Sound, but all eyes are on the pink salmon. The forecast is for a massive pink run this year, with almost 7.8 million pinks expected, nearly double the usual numbers. Early signs are promising, with pinks starting to be seen by those drifting jigs or casting from shorelines near river mouths and estuaries. Catches of resident coho and the odd sea-run cutthroat have also been solid, especially for fly anglers working the beaches with small baitfish patterns[3]. The best lures right now are pink buzz bombs, small darting jigs, and welded ring spoons for the pinks. For trout and cutthroat, try small spinners in silver or green, or a classic olive-over-white Clouser minnow on the fly. Bait anglers are doing best with sand shrimp and herring strips, especially near bottom structure. Saltwater crabbing is still closed, but today marks the spot shrimp opener in some parts of the Sound. Note that Elliott Bay and Marine Areas 10, 11, and 13 remain closed for shrimp, but other spots north of Seattle have a short window—be sure to check WDFW emergency updates before you launch[2]. Hot spots to try: Point No Point is a classic early pink salmon magnet, and the beaches near Lincoln Park in West Seattle have been giving up some nice sea-run cutthroat. The Edmonds pier is busy with anglers chasing the first push of pinks and resident coho. In sum, it’s shaping up as a stellar start to pink salmon season in the Sound, with solid action expected to build through June. Watch those tide swings for best results, match your offerings to the bait, and don’t overlook the local fly-friendly beaches for some underrated trout and cutthroat fun.

First light hit Seattle at 5:27 AM and sunset will be around 8:44 PM. Early risers had light cloud cover and a fresh breeze out of the southwest. Daytime highs should reach the low 60s, making for a comfortable day on the water. Tides are moderate today, with an early morning flood just after sunrise and a midday ebb. These changing tides should help fire up the bite, especially around structure and points. The bite in Puget Sound has been lively this week. Lingcod season opened on May 1st and runs through June 15th. Anglers have been bringing in solid numbers around rocky reefs and artificial structures from Marine Areas 5 through 13—just remember, no fishing in waters deeper than 120 feet and the daily limit is one lingcod in the 26 to 36 inch slot. Barbless hooks are required for all bottomfish[2]. Halibut has also been solid, with recent creel reports hinting at steady, if not spectacular, catches in North Sound spots like Possession Bar and Mutiny Bay. The quota for Puget Sound this year is just under 80,000 pounds, so there’s still plenty of fish to go around[5]. Salmon return forecasts are excellent for 2025, with over 6 million fish expected back to the Sound. While most summer salmon seasons are a few weeks off, some early blackmouth (resident Chinook) are being hooked in the mornings on deep troll gear and spoons. Check WDFW updates for any area-specific closures or openings[4]. For best results today, go with soft plastic swimbaits and large curly-tail grubs for lingcod, bounced near bottom structure. Herring or squid strips on a mooching rig work well for both lingcod and halibut. For blackmouth, try 3- to 4-inch spoons in green or chartreuse, trolled 80 to 120 feet deep. Hot spots today: - Possession Bar: Productive for both halibut and lingcod, especially on the outgoing tide. - Edmonds Oil Docks: Consistent for lingcod and the occasional blackmouth. - West Point, just north of Shilshole: A favorite for early summer chinook action and bottomfish. Overall, angler interviews around Puget Sound are showing good catch rates for lingcod and still reliable bottomfish action at shallow reefs and jetties. Expect more salmon activity as water temps climb into June[1][2]. That’s the local scoop from Artificial Lure. Tight lines out there and don’t forget to check your regs and give each other plenty of room on the water. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Today’s fishing kicked off with sunrise at 5:39 AM and the sun will set at 8:32 PM, giving us plenty of daylight for a full day on the water. Weather started classic Puget Sound gray this morning but is expected to clear up as the day goes on, with highs in the low 60s. Winds are forecast to stay light and variable, making for smooth boating and comfortable casting from shore. Central Sound tides are in a moderate cycle: we saw a low tide near 6:30 AM, heads up to a midday high just before 1 PM, and then falls again late afternoon. Fish often get more active around those tide swings, so plan to target the hour before and after the tide peaks for best luck[5]. The headline right now is the lingcod opener. Anglers have been hitting Marine Areas 5 through 13, all open for lingcod except Hood Canal. Remember, you can keep one lingcod per day, between 26 and 36 inches in length, and only in waters shallower than 120 feet. Reports from the past week show solid catches, especially in rocky structure and reef areas from Edmonds down to Tacoma. Top producers have been lead-head jigs with white or chartreuse curly-tail plastics, as well as live herring if you can get it. Don’t forget, barbless hooks are mandatory for all species in Puget Sound, including lingcod[2]. Along the beaches, sea-run cutthroat are feeding well—look for them around creek mouths and along current seams. Anglers have been scoring with olive and white Clouser minnows, small metal spoons like the Kastmaster, and sand lance-pattern flies[4]. Resident coho are showing up more frequently for those trolling smaller hoochies or casting spoons from the piers. For bait, nothing beats fresh herring for the lingcod and salmon, while sand shrimp and pile worms have been productive for pier anglers targeting perch and flounder. Artificial lures like curly tail jigs, metal spoons, and soft plastics in natural bait colors have all been catching fish[2]. Hot spots to try today include the Edmonds Oil Docks for lingcod and greenling, and Lincoln Park shoreline for sea-run cutthroat and the odd coho. The Shilshole Bay breakwater is always worth a shot for mixed species, especially around tide changes. With a big pink salmon forecast for this summer, keep your light gear ready—early scouts say a few are already being spotted in the Sound[5]. That wraps up today’s report.

Remember, you can keep one lingcod per day, between 26 and 36 inches in length, and only in waters shallower than 120 feet. Reports from the past week show solid catches, especially in rocky structure and reef areas from Edmonds down to Tacoma. Top producers have been lead-head jigs with white or chartreuse curly-tail plastics, as well as live herring if you can get it. Don’t forget, barbless hooks are mandatory for all species in Puget Sound, including lingcod[2]. Along the beaches, sea-run cutthroat are feeding well—look for them around creek mouths and along current seams. Anglers have been scoring with olive and white Clouser minnows, small metal spoons like the Kastmaster, and sand lance-pattern flies[4]. Resident coho are showing up more frequently for those trolling smaller hoochies or casting spoons from the piers. For bait, nothing beats fresh herring for the lingcod and salmon, while sand shrimp and pile worms have been productive for pier anglers targeting perch and flounder. Artificial lures like curly tail jigs, metal spoons, and soft plastics in natural bait colors have all been catching fish[2]. Hot spots to try today include the Edmonds Oil Docks for lingcod and greenling, and Lincoln Park shoreline for sea-run cutthroat and the odd coho. The Shilshole Bay breakwater is always worth a shot for mixed species, especially around tide changes. With a big pink salmon forecast for this summer, keep your light gear ready—early scouts say a few are already being spotted in the Sound[5]. That wraps up today’s report. Tight lines and happy fishing from your local angling expert, Artificial Lure.

The day is off to a mild start after a stretch of classic spring weather—expect partly cloudy skies and comfortable temps hovering in the mid-50s to low 60s. Sunrise came at 5:24 a.m. and sunset will be around 8:44 p.m., giving us plenty of daylight to hit the water. Tides are especially key right now. There’s a mid-morning incoming tide peaking just before noon, which should set up ideal conditions for shore and boat anglers alike. Look for fish to be actively feeding during these moving water periods, particularly at the top of the incoming and the start of outgoing. Fish activity in the Sound is heating up. Early reports out of the creel checks indicate chinook salmon are scarce in the central Sound due to tight regulations, but coho are trickling through and a few resident blackmouth have been landed by dedicated trollers. Most success has come from trolling three-inch spoons or hoochies behind a flasher at 80 to 120 feet over deeper channels. The best colors lately have been green/glow and blue/silver. Lingcod and rockfish are seeing steady action along rocky reefs and jetties. Fresh herring or scented soft plastics fished off bottom are working well. Try white or root beer colored swimbaits for lingcod. A few legal lings have come in from the Marine Area 10 and 11 reefs, with reports of solid numbers near Shilshole and Elliott Bay. In the local rivers, cutthroat trout are responding to minnow imitations and small poppers, especially during the morning hours. For fly anglers in the estuaries and lower rivers, chum fry patterns and olive clousers continue to draw strikes. If you’re just getting out, my top lure picks are a green/glow 3-inch Coho Killer or a chartreuse needlefish hoochie for salmon, and white curly-tail jigs or six-inch swimbaits for bottomfish. Natural baits like fresh herring or sand shrimp are prime for lingcod. For hotspots, point your boat to the waters off Point No Point and Edmonds in the morning for a shot at coho and blackmouth. On the south end, try the Tacoma Narrows tide rips for lingcod and various bottom dwellers. Overall, fishing is picking up as water temps rise and tides push fresh baitfish into the Sound. The bite is best during tidal swings, especially on the incoming tide mid-morning today. Good luck, keep those lines tight, and I’ll see you on the water.

Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for this beautiful Friday morning, May 16th, 2025. The sun's just coming up over the Sound this morning, and we're looking at what should be a fantastic day to hit the water! Today marks the opening of a new fishing season that runs through June 30th, so timing couldn't be better. The big news around Puget Sound continues to be the phenomenal pink salmon returns we're seeing this year. The 2025 forecast is sitting at 7.76 million pinks - that's up 70% from the 10-year average and on track to be the third largest return on record. The Green and Nisqually rivers are showing particularly strong numbers, so keep those in mind if you're targeting pinks. Based on recent creel reports from the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, anglers have been having good success at Point Defiance Public Ramp in Area 11 around Tacoma-Vashon Island. Another hot spot has been up north at the Bellingham Ramp at Squalicum Harbor - they've been seeing consistent action there over the past few days. For you fly fishing enthusiasts, conditions are prime right now. The Cedar River is at ideal wading levels between 150-600 cfs, and the Snoqualmie is perfect for both wading and floating. If you're willing to venture a bit further out, the Skagit is fishing well too. For tackle recommendations, I've been hearing silver spoons and pink hoochies have been working magic for the salmon. If you're bait fishing, herring has been the consistent producer, especially around the Point Defiance area. Don't forget to tip your jigs with a bit of cured shrimp - that's been the local secret weapon lately. For today's hot spots, I'd recommend trying the north end of Vashon Island during the morning incoming tide, then shifting to the Edmonds waterfront as the afternoon progresses. The structure around the Kingston ferry terminal has also been holding some nice fish. Tidal movement today should give us a nice push of fresh fish, with the tide changes creating those perfect feeding windows. The weather is cooperating too - just enough cloud cover to keep the fish from getting too skittish. Remember, with the strong pink forecast, we're seeing more anglers on the water than usual, so get to your spots early. The Nisqually reach has been less crowded if you're looking to avoid the masses. That's your Friday report, folks. This is Artificial Lure signing off - tight lines and see you on the water!

This is Artificial Lure checking in with your May 14, 2025, Puget Sound fishing report straight from the docks and the beaches around Seattle. Today’s sunrise came at 5:33 am, with sunset expected around 8:39 pm. We’re looking at classic late spring weather in Seattle: mostly overcast skies, highs in the upper 50s, and a hint of drizzle in the forecast. The barometer’s holding steady, a bit of an onshore breeze out of the southwest, and mild conditions overall. Tidal swings are solid today, with a large morning ebb pushing bait into the shallows—ideal for those early risers casting from shore or launching small crafts. Lingcod is the big story right now. The season opened May 1st and the bite has been hot across Marine Areas 5 through 13 (excluding Hood Canal). Remember, the daily limit is one lingcod per angler with size restrictions—check those regs before you fish. Reports coming out of Point Defiance and the Tacoma Narrows show decent catches, especially at first light around slack tide. Anglers are finding success with large soft plastic swimbaits in white or root beer, as well as classic purple and black jigs fished close to rocky structure. For bait, nothing beats a fresh herring or squid strip threaded onto a leadhead jig[2][4]. Salmon activity is picking up in the north sound—there are whispers of resident silvers being picked up around the Edmonds Marina and along the Mukilteo shoreline, mostly on small spoons and hoochies trolled just off the bottom. Down south, sea-run cutthroat fishing has remained solid, with anglers hooking decent numbers on chum fry patterns, small sand lance imitations, and olive over white Clouser minnows[5]. If you’re beach casting, keep an eye out for surface action—chum fry and sand lance are everywhere and the cutthroat are hot on their tails. Last week’s creel counts show a steady flow of chinook being checked in the mid and southern sound, though numbers are still modest as we wait for the summer push[1][3]. The top catches for the week included several lingcod over the slot minimum and a handful of fat sea-run cutthroat from the estuaries and beaches. Hot spots for today: Point Defiance Park (near the public ramp) is putting out good lingcod at dawn, and the shoreline around Lincoln Park in West Seattle is a tried-and-true spot for cutthroat on the fly or light spinning gear. If you’re looking for solitude, the Jetty Island shoreline near Everett is a sleeper for both cutthroat and resident coho. Tight lines and fair tides. See you out there.

I'm Artificial Lure, your local fishing expert. As we step into May 12, 2025, Puget Sound is buzzing with excitement, especially with the pink salmon forecast looking incredibly promising. Today's sunrise is at about 5:15 AM, and sunset will roll in around 8:32 PM, providing ample daylight for a full day of fishing. Weather-wise, Seattle is likely to be drizzly with a high of about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Tides will be moderately strong, which should bring in some action around the usual hotspots. Dawn and dusk are typically the best times to cast your line. In recent days, catch reports have been steady, particularly around areas like the San Juan Islands and East Juan de Fuca Strait. Pink salmon are on everyone's radar this season, with the 2025 forecast predicting a return of 7.76 million fish, which is 70% above the 10-year average. While other species like Chinook might be less abundant this year, the general enthusiasm around pink salmon keeps spirits high. When it comes to tackle, I recommend using spoons or lures that mimic small fish, like the classic Krocodile spoon. If you're bait fishing, fresh shrimp or brine-scented lures are always effective for targeting halibut or bottom fish. Cornet Bay Public Ramp in Deception Pass remains one of the top spots for launching and catching a variety of species, including salmon making their way through the area. Another hotspot is Squalicum Harbor near Bellingham, which has seen consistent activity throughout the spring. As always, make sure to check the current fishing regulations before you head out. The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife provides regular updates on fishery guidelines and quotas. With some luck and the right gear, you should have a productive day on the water. Safe fishing, and I hope to see you on the waters of Puget Sound. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Weather’s cool and marine-layered early, with light winds and highs expected in the low 60s. That’s ideal—keeps the surface calm but stirs up just enough chop for easy bait movement. Tidal swing today is pronounced, with a big morning outgoing tide till about 11 a.m. and a strong afternoon incoming. These tides are pushing loads of bait into the shallows and igniting the bite, especially for sea-run cutthroat and the odd resident coho in South Sound. Recent days have seen good catches in the South Sound beaches—cutts are feeding heavy on lingering chum fry, along with plenty of herring and sand lance[5]. Lingcod seasons opened up this month in most marine areas around Seattle, and they’re active right now. Anglers are reporting solid catches near rocky structure from Elliott Bay out toward Point Jefferson. Reports from the WDFW creel show steady lingcod action, although remember the daily limit is one fish between 26 and 36 inches, and you must use barbless hooks[2]. The biggest buzz is about pink salmon—WDFW is projecting one of the largest runs in memory this summer, with over 7.7 million humpies expected to flood the Sound[3][4]. While the run is still warming up, early arrivals sometimes show during these big tide swings, so keep your eyes peeled. As for what’s working: for cutthroat and coho from shore, toss small chum fry patterns, olive-over-white Clousers, or minnow spinners. If you’re targeting lingcod, large white or chartreuse swimbaits and 6-inch curly-tail plastics on 2-ounce jigheads have been producing. For bait, live herring or sand dab fished near bottom structure is classic and still unbeatable. Hot spots today to consider: 1. Lincoln Park beach—always reliable this time of year for cutthroat, especially on the outgoing tide. 2. West Point near Discovery Park—good structure for both lingcod and the odd early salmon. Overall, with a big tide, plenty of baitfish, and solid early-summer action, now’s the time to hit the water. Don’t forget your license and barbless hooks. Good luck out there—tight lines!

Folks, we're looking at prime time for fishing around Seattle waters today! The pink salmon forecast for 2025 is a whopper at 7.76 million fish - that's up 70% from the 10-year average and expected to be the third largest return on record. The Green and Nisqually rivers are showing particularly strong pink returns this season. The sea run cutthroat action has been hot in South Puget Sound these past weeks. Anglers have been having success as these aggressive fish are chasing the migrating chum fry. I've also heard reports of some resident silvers being caught lately. The massive tidal exchanges we've been experiencing are moving bait around nicely, creating perfect feeding opportunities. For those targeting cutthroat, you'll want to pack a variety of patterns. While chum fry imitations are your go-to right now, smart anglers are also carrying small sand lance imitations, herring patterns, and some surface flies just in case the fish get finicky. The recent reports show that herring, sand lance, and shiner perch are all on the menu along with those chum fry. For salmon anglers, it's worth noting that while pink numbers look fantastic, Chinook regulations remain tight this season due to continued low abundance of many stocks. The fishery managers had to work extra hard planning this season due to differences in ages of returning fish. As for hot spots, the beaches around South Puget Sound have been producing consistently for cutthroat. The tidal currents are strong this time of year, which typically makes for exciting fishing along the shorelines. For salmon seekers, keep an eye on the Nisqually approach as those strong pink returns should start showing up. River conditions are favorable with the Snoqualmie running at ideal wading levels. The Skykomish is also in good shape for fishing, perfect for those looking to hit the rivers instead of the Sound. Remember that this is just the beginning of what should be an epic season with those huge pink returns. The Fraser River over in BC is expecting 27 million pinks, which should spill over into our waters too. Tight lines, everyone!

Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for Friday, May 9, 2025. We're a week into the Lingcod season and reports are coming in hot! Lingcod fishing has been absolutely on fire since the season opened on May 1st[2]. Anglers throughout Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands are having great success targeting these bucket-mouthed predators. Remember, you can keep one Lingcod between 26-36 inches daily, and you must fish in waters less than 120 feet[2]. Weather today is looking decent with partly cloudy skies and light winds from the northwest around 5-10 knots. Sunrise was at 5:42 AM and sunset will be at 8:31 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get those lines wet. For today's tides, we've got a high tide at 10:23 AM followed by a low at 4:47 PM. This morning's outgoing tide should provide some good action for those targeting Lingcod along the rocky structure. Pink salmon forecasts are looking fantastic this year with 7.76 million expected to return - that's 70% above the 10-year average and potentially the third largest return on record[5]. The Green and Nisqually rivers are projected to have especially strong pink returns[5]. While it's still early for the main salmon runs, some early arrivals have been spotted. For Lingcod, I've been hearing great reports from Possession Bar, Point No Point, and around the artificial reefs off Edmonds. Live herring or large white jigs with curly tail grubs have been the ticket. Don't forget your descending device - it's required onboard and ready to deploy[2]. Hot spots this weekend: Try the south end of Whidbey Island and the eastern side of Possession Bar for Lingcod. For those wanting to target resident Coho, the Kingston area has been producing some nice catches on green/white Coyote spoons trolled behind a flasher. The San Juan Islands are also heating up for bottomfish action. Several anglers reported limits of Lingcod using large herring or salmon bellies fished near rocky structure. Remember folks, when fishing for bottomfish, you're allowed an aggregate limit of 15 per person[2]. The WDFW creel reports are showing steady catch rates throughout Puget Sound areas[1].

Fri, 09 May 2025 07:52:46 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for Friday, May 9, 2025. We're a week into the Lingcod season and reports are coming in hot! Lingcod fishing has been absolutely on fire since the season opened on May 1st[2]. Anglers throughout Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands are having great success targeting these bucket-mouthed predators. Remember, you can keep one Lingcod between 26-36 inches daily, and you must fish in waters less than 120 feet[2]. Weather today is looking decent with partly cloudy skies and light winds from the northwest around 5-10 knots. Sunrise was at 5:42 AM and sunset will be at 8:31 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get those lines wet. For today's tides, we've got a high tide at 10:23 AM followed by a low at 4:47 PM. This morning's outgoing tide should provide some good action for those targeting Lingcod along the rocky structure. Pink salmon forecasts are looking fantastic this year with 7.76 million expected to return - that's 70% above the 10-year average and potentially the third largest return on record[5]. The Green and Nisqually rivers are projected to have especially strong pink returns[5]. While it's still early for the main salmon runs, some early arrivals have been spotted. For Lingcod, I've been hearing great reports from Possession Bar, Point No Point, and around the artificial reefs off Edmonds. Live herring or large white jigs with curly tail grubs have been the ticket. Don't forget your descending device - it's required onboard and ready to deploy[2]. Hot spots this weekend: Try the south end of Whidbey Island and the eastern side of Possession Bar for Lingcod. For those wanting to target resident Coho, the Kingston area has been producing some nice catches on green/white Coyote spoons trolled behind a flasher. The San Juan Islands are also heating up for bottomfish action. Several anglers reported limits of Lingcod using large herring or salmon bellies fished near rocky structure. Remember folks, when fishing for bottomfish, you're allowed an aggregate limit of 15 per person[2]. The WDFW creel reports are showing steady catch rates throughout Puget Sound areas[1]. For those fly fishing enthusiasts, reports indicate the dry fly action is picking up nicely in our regional waters[4]. Get out there and enjoy the fantastic May fishing we've got right now.

First, let’s talk weather. Expect cloudy skies this morning with scattered sun breaks in the afternoon. Temps will hover in the mid-50s, with a light breeze that should keep chop minimal on the water. Sunrise hit right about 5:39 AM and sunset will be around 8:32 PM, giving us a good, long window to fish. Tides are favorable for morning outings. There’s a low tide early, rising to a midday high. That mix of moving water should boost fish activity up until lunchtime, especially near points and tidal rips. Lingcod season just opened this month and the bite is hot. Reports from Marine Areas 10 and 11 confirm that legal-sized lings are being caught around rocky structure and deeper kelp beds. Try jigging 5- to 7-inch white or chartreuse soft plastics on heavy leadheads. Herring, either rigged whole or cut, is the go-to bait if you’re anchoring up. Remember, the daily limit is one for lingcod and barbless hooks are required for all bottomfish[2]. Resident blackmouth (Chinook salmon) are still being found, with the best numbers around Edmonds, Shilshole, and West Point. Trollers using 3.5-inch spoons, hoochies, or cut-plug herring behind flashers are doing well, especially working depths between 80 and 120 feet. Early mornings with the outgoing tide have produced the most consistent action. Some solid sea-run cutthroat have also been reported around Point No Point and Lincoln Park beaches, mostly on small baitfish imitations and olive over white clousers for the fly crowd[5]. While we’re still a little early for the massive pink run projected later this summer, signs are looking good for a strong salmon season. Inshore, the usual mix of flounder and perch are willing biters on smaller jigs and worm-tipped hooks near the piers and docks[3]. For bait, bring herring, sand shrimp, and squid for bottomfish. For lures, popular picks this week include white grub jigs, metal spoons, and needlefish-style plugs for both salmon and lingcod. Hot spots today include the artificial reefs out from Shilshole Bay and the boulder piles off the Southworth Ferry. Point Defiance continues to kick out keeper lingcod and the Edmonds oil docks remain a salmon standby. That’s your rundown for today. Tight lines from Artificial Lure, and remember to check those regs and handle your catch with care. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We're looking at another beautiful spring day here in Seattle with temps expected to reach the mid-60s under partly cloudy skies. Sunrise happened just after 5:40 this morning, and we'll have daylight until about 8:25 tonight, giving you plenty of time on the water. Tide-wise, we're seeing a moderate outgoing tide through mid-morning, which should create some nice movement in the water. Remember that moving water means actively feeding fish, so plan your trips accordingly. The big news is that Lingcod season is now in full swing across Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands! It opened on May 1st and runs through June 15th with a daily limit of one fish between 26-36 inches. These underwater sea dragons are aggressive predators and make for excellent eating. Just remember to fish in waters less than 120 feet deep, and keep that descending device ready for any rockfish you might catch and release. Salmon action continues to be hot with the 2025 forecast looking exceptional. We're expecting over 6 million salmon returning to Puget Sound this year, with pink salmon numbers projected at a whopping 7.7 million fish – that's 70% above the ten-year average! The spring Chinook (blackmouth) season remains productive in Marine Areas 10 and 11, with anglers consistently hooking up on trolled herring, anchovy, and flasher-hoochie combos. Sea-run cutthroat fishing has been fantastic lately, especially along the beaches during the incoming tide. Small baitfish patterns and Clouser minnows in olive and white have been producing well. For hot spots, I'd recommend the north end of Vashon Island and Point No Point for salmon trollers. Jefferson Head has been producing some quality Lingcod, as has Possession Bar. Shore anglers should check out Lincoln Park and Carkeek Park beaches for cutthroat action. Gear-wise, for Lingcod, it's hard to beat a large white curly-tail jig or a live herring rigged on a spreader bar. Salmon anglers are finding success with green spatterback squid behind a flasher or whole herring in the early morning hours. Don't forget that Marine Areas 10 and 11 are only open Wednesday through Saturday for Chinook fishing, and the limit is two salmon with only one hatchery (clipped) Chinook allowed. All wild Chinook and chum must be released. Until next time, this is Artificial Lure reminding you to keep those lines tight and hooks sharp. Good luck and tight lines!

We are off to a lively start this spring with loads of opportunity and the kind of classic northwest weather that keeps us coming back for more. Sunrise today was about 545 am and sunset is around 820 pm giving you plenty of daylight to chase fish through both tides. Early morning has been especially productive with an outgoing tide rolling just after sunup. Today brings mild temps in the low 60s with a light breeze and patchy clouds—ideal for both shore and boat anglers. Fishing action is heating up across the Sound. Let’s start with salmon. The buzz is real with over six million salmon forecasted to return this season, plus a massive pink salmon run in the works. Pinks are already stacking up around the mouths of the Green and Nisqually Rivers and seem to be thickening on local beaches. Expect this run to build all month. Meanwhile, blackmouth chinook remain the main draw with Marine Areas 10 and 11 open since April 2. Most of the catches are clipped hatchery chinook over 22 inches with anglers seeing steady hookups on trolled herring, anchovy, and flasher-hoochie combos. Remember, you can keep two salmon per day, only one of which can be a clipped chinook—double-check the regs and release all wild chinook and chum. Lingcod season just opened May 1 and it’s time to get after those Puget Sound sea dragons. Lingcod are aggressive right now. The best bites are coming from rocky reefs and structure in 60 to 100 feet, especially during the first 90 minutes of the morning ebb. Large soft plastics like white or chartreuse swimbaits, 5-7 inch curly tail grubs, or live sand dabs if you can find them, are top producers. If you’re jigging, try metal jigs or leadhead jigs tipped with squid. Don’t forget, you need a descending device on board and only one lingcod per person, between 26 and 36 inches, is allowed each day. As for hot spots, West Point just north of Shilshole has been producing good numbers of chinook and some coho. For lingcod, head to the artificial reefs off Edmonds or the rocky drop-offs around Alki—both are kicking out solid fish. Shore casters are finding action for cutthroat and resident coho along Lincoln Park and the beaches near Seahurst. To sum it up: salmon and lingcod are running strong, tides are favorable, and the weather is on your side. Load up on herring, anchovy, and soft plastics in natural or bright colors, sharpen those hooks, and keep a sharp eye on the regs. Tight lines and I’ll see you on the water.

Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for this beautiful Saturday morning, May 3rd, 2025. We're right in the sweet spot of lingcod season, folks! The season opened just two days ago on May 1st and will run through June 15th, giving us a solid 45-day window to target these aggressive predators. Today's your perfect chance to get out there since it's the first weekend of the season. Lingcod fishing has been strong across Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands. Remember, you're allowed one lingcod between 26-36 inches per day. These "Pacific Northwest Sea Dragons" are ambush predators with those distinctive bucket-like mouths full of sharp teeth – they'll put up a fantastic fight! For those targeting lingcod, live bait has been producing well, though it requires patience. Let the fish turn with the bait before setting the hook, then be ready for a strength battle as these powerful fish try to head back to the rocky structure. Keep in mind you're limited to waters less than 120 feet deep per regulations. Salmon fishing in most of Puget Sound is currently closed as we're between seasons. The winter Chinook fishery in Marine Areas 10 and 11 closed at the end of April. However, there's tremendous buzz about this year's pink salmon forecast – WDFW is projecting a massive 7.76 million pink salmon run for 2025, one of the largest on record! We'll be seeing those fish later in summer. For hot spots, I'd recommend trying the artificial reef structures near Seattle for lingcod, or heading up to the northern edges of the San Juan Islands where the lings have been particularly aggressive. Just be sure to have your descending device aboard and ready to deploy – it's required for bottomfish fishing. Gear-wise, heavy jigs and swimbaits in the 6-10 oz range work great for lingcod in our deeper waters. If you're using live bait, greenling or small cabezon are prime choices when you can get them. Don't forget that Hood Canal remains closed to lingcod fishing this year, so plan accordingly. For you shellfish folks, WDFW has published their 2025 best clam and oyster harvest tides chart featuring Puget Sound area tides with favorable harvest results – might be worth checking out for a backup plan. That's all for today's report! This is Artificial Lure reminding you to check those regulations before heading out, make sure your fishing license is current, and as we always say here in the Sound: tight lines and stay fishy!

Spring is off to a lively start in Seattle and anglers are already hitting the water early to capitalize on stellar fish returns and strong tides. Let us start with the tides. The early morning outgoing is prime this week with moving water just after sunrise which came at about 545 am this morning. Sunset tonight is right around 820 pm so you have plenty of daylight to work the tides and cover water. Light winds and mild weather are in the forecast for today expect highs in the low 60s with some patchy clouds a classic Seattle spring day perfect for both shore and boat anglers. Fishing action in the Sound is ramping up in a big way. The 2025 salmon forecast is making everyone buzz with over 6 million fish expected back to Puget Sound and a pink salmon forecast of more than 7.7 million which is a whopping 70 percent above the ten-year average. Look for pinks especially thick in areas like the Green and Nisqually Rivers as the run develops with solid numbers already showing on the beaches. Chinook is the star of the show right now with the spring blackmouth season open in Marine Areas 10 and 11 since April 2nd. Most of the chinook action is on clipped hatchery fish over 22 inches, with anglers reporting steady hookups on trolled herring, anchovy, and flasher hoochie combos. Please check the daily limits before you head out—right now you can keep two salmon a day with only one clipped chinook and all wild chinook and chum must be released. From the shore, cutthroat fishing is fantastic. These sea-run fish are feeding aggressively after moving out of the rivers and you’ll find them chasing baitfish patterns near tidal seams and points. The best lures and flies right now include small Clouser Minnows, Chum Baby patterns, and foul-free herring imitations retrieved quickly just under the surface. For boat anglers, trolling is the ticket—use a green or chartreuse flasher paired with a white, pink, or green hoochie or a whole herring trolled behind a dodger. Top hot spots today include Lincoln Park in West Seattle and the beaches at Dash Point where both pinks and sea-run cutthroat have been reported in good numbers. For boat anglers, the waters off Shilshole and Point Defiance are both holding salmon and have seen regular action this week. Fish are moving with the tides so cover water and focus on that outgoing morning tide for your best shot. Bring your rain shell just in case but expect a pleasant day out.

Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for this fine Wednesday morning, April 30, 2025. The sun peeked over the horizon at about 5:45 AM today and will be setting around 8:15 PM, giving us plenty of daylight hours to get those lines wet. Weather's looking decent today - a bit overcast with temperatures in the mid-50s, which is pretty typical spring weather for us locals. Tide-wise, we've got a moderate incoming tide through mid-morning, with high tide around noon, followed by an outgoing tide through the afternoon. That morning push should get those fish active, especially around structure and dropoffs. The big news is halibut season is in full swing! The Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca halibut fishery opened on April 3rd and runs through June 30th, seven days a week. Folks have been having good success, particularly launching from Cornet Bay and Ediz Hook in Port Angeles. Recent creel reports show anglers at Cornet Bay landing 12 halibut in Area 6 (East Juan de Fuca Strait) and 8 more in Area 7 (San Juan Islands). Ediz Hook anglers managed 14 halibut in Area 6 as well. Salmon fishing is a bit trickier right now. The winter Chinook season in Area 10 opened April 1st and runs through today (April 30th), but it's only been open Wednesday through Saturday. The catch guidelines show a total encounter limit of 4,787 fish, but I haven't seen many reports of success lately. For those looking to target something other than halibut or salmon, the freshwater scene is starting to heat up. Got a report from a fella who hit a small lake near Bellingham recently, and he mentioned the fish are finally waking up after our long winter. He landed 5 and had numerous other bites. Another angler reported a nice 7.4-pound largemouth bass from a Thurston County lake. As for hot spots, I'd recommend trying Cornet Bay if you're after halibut - the reports have been consistent there. For salmon, the eastern portion of Area 4 might be worth a shot, though catches have been spotty. If you're looking for some steady action, those smaller lakes around Bellingham are starting to produce. Lure-wise (and yes, I'm partial to artificials, hence the name), herring-pattern jigs are working well for halibut, while salmon anglers are having better luck with spoons and plugs in chrome/blue combinations. There was even talk at the recent fishery management meeting about potentially introducing some "plug-only" fishing days in Marine Areas 10 and 11 to extend fishing opportunities while reducing impacts.

Ediz Hook anglers managed 14 halibut in Area 6 as well. Salmon fishing is a bit trickier right now. The winter Chinook season in Area 10 opened April 1st and runs through today (April 30th), but it's only been open Wednesday through Saturday. The catch guidelines show a total encounter limit of 4,787 fish, but I haven't seen many reports of success lately. For those looking to target something other than halibut or salmon, the freshwater scene is starting to heat up. Got a report from a fella who hit a small lake near Bellingham recently, and he mentioned the fish are finally waking up after our long winter. He landed 5 and had numerous other bites. Another angler reported a nice 7.4-pound largemouth bass from a Thurston County lake. As for hot spots, I'd recommend trying Cornet Bay if you're after halibut - the reports have been consistent there. For salmon, the eastern portion of Area 4 might be worth a shot, though catches have been spotty. If you're looking for some steady action, those smaller lakes around Bellingham are starting to produce. Lure-wise (and yes, I'm partial to artificials, hence the name), herring-pattern jigs are working well for halibut, while salmon anglers are having better luck with spoons and plugs in chrome/blue combinations. There was even talk at the recent fishery management meeting about potentially introducing some "plug-only" fishing days in Marine Areas 10 and 11 to extend fishing opportunities while reducing impacts.

We’re off to a cool and partly cloudy start today with temps around the low 50s, expected to top out in the mid-50s by late afternoon. Winds are light from the south and a thin marine layer is lingering over the water, so don’t forget your rain gear if you’re heading out early. Sunrise was at 6:06 a.m., and sunset will come at 8:10 p.m. The tidal swing is moderate today—expect a low tide around 10:30 a.m. with the incoming making for prime action through early afternoon. The big news is that Marine Areas 10 and 11 are open for the early spring Chinook season, running Wednesdays through Saturdays. This fishery just kicked off April 2 and has been putting out solid action—especially for clipped hatchery blackmouth (immature Chinook) over 22 inches. The daily salmon limit is two, but only one can be a clipped Chinook; all wild Chinook and chum must be released. Most of the bites have come trolling 3-4 inch spoons or hoochies fished 90 to 140 feet down, tipped with herring or anchovy strips. Green and chartreuse flashers have been working best. Mooching cut-plug herring is also producing, especially near West Point and Jeff Head, two of today’s hottest spots. Don’t sleep on Lincoln Park either, especially during the mid-day tide push[5]. Halibut season is officially open in select areas of Puget Sound, and early catches are already coming in. Remember, this fishery is strictly quota-managed, so watch for emergency rule changes. Catches have been best on the outgoing tide near Possession Bar using large herring, squid, or salmon belly strips on spreader bars. Aim for 200-300 feet of water[2]. Coho and resident bait are visible along the beaches, fueling solid action for sea-run cutthroat. The cutthroat have been slashing at Chum Baby and Clouser Minnow patterns at first light. If you’re throwing hardware, small Kastmasters and Needlefish spoons in silver or copper are a local favorite. The points around Carkeek Park and the Mukilteo shoreline are producing nice cutts right now[4]. Recent reports have seen a mix of Chinook, halibut, and sea-run cutthroat filling coolers, with the best numbers coming on days with strong tide swings and early morning starts. The North Sound beaches should start popping for cutthroat soon as well. Hot spots for today: Jeff Head for blackmouth, Possession Bar for halibut, and the West Seattle beaches for cutthroat. That’s today’s report—tight lines, and remember to check regulations before you go. This is Artificial Lure, signing off.

Sunrise was at 6:09 am and sunset will be around 8:08 pm. We’re looking at typical spring weather—overcast skies this morning with temps in the upper 40s, possibly hitting the mid-50s by afternoon. Winds are light which bodes well for hitting the water, and a mild incoming tide should peak late morning, ideal for anglers that like to chase the changeover. The opener kicked off this month and action for spring Chinook around Seattle and the central Sound has been solid. Most of the spring kings being caught recently are running between 6 and 12 pounds, which has folks in a good mood at the launch ramps. The quota went surprisingly quick, a testament to both strong fish numbers and enthusiastic pressure from local anglers. If you want your shot at a springer, don’t wait[4][3]. It’s not just kings—there’s a lot of buzz about the forecast for pink salmon this season. The 2025 Puget Sound pink salmon forecast is over 7.7 million, a whopping 70 percent above the 10-year average. While most of the pinks will be showing in bigger numbers a little later, anticipation is high and a few early ones have already been reported, especially toward the southern Sound and mouths of the Green and Nisqually rivers[2]. A few blackmouth (immature Chinook) and some resident coho are also in the mix, especially around Possession Bar and the Edmonds-area rips. Saltwater perch and flounder are regular catches for those going lighter, with jiggers pulling up a reliable mix in the mornings. Best lures right now are 3 to 4-inch spoons in green-glow or white, needlefish hoochies, or anchovy rigged in a helmet. For bait, herring and anchovy remain king, especially when trolled behind a flasher. Try to keep your gear close to bottom—20 to 90 feet down depending on where the bait is stacking. For hotspots today, I’d point you toward Point No Point on the Kitsap Peninsula and the waters just off Alki Point in West Seattle. Possession Bar is another tried-and-true location, especially on the outgoing tide. That’s the Monday scoop—fish are in, tides and weather are cooperating, and the excitement for a big season is building. Good luck out there and tight lines from Artificial Lure.

We’re in the thick of prime time for spring salmon, and the buzz around the docks is all about the blackmouth Chinook. Early Chinook season is open now in Marine Areas 10 and 11 — that means from Seattle’s Shilshole down to the Tacoma Narrows, it’s game on for salmon every Wednesday through Saturday. The opener started on April 2 and folks are picking up a nice class of spring kings. Most of the Chinook caught recently are running between 6 and 12 pounds, with some bigger fish being boated by those putting in time trolling or mooching deep. Remember, the daily limit is 2 salmon, but only 1 can be a clipped Chinook over 22 inches, and make sure to release all wild Chinook and chum[4][5]. The pink salmon run forecast is massive this year — over 7.7 million expected back — third-biggest ever for the Sound. We’re still a bit out from peak season, but a few early pinks have already been reported in the southern Sound, so if you want to try your luck, small pink hoochies or buzz bombs are a good bet[4]. Tide movement today is excellent for fishing. High tide hits just after sunrise at 7:26 am around 12 feet, with a low bottoming out at -0.9 feet at 1:43 pm, and a solid evening push up to 13.5 feet just before 10 pm. These tide swings set up great opportunities, especially during the morning high and afternoon flood when salmon like to move and feed[2]. Weather is classic spring Puget Sound — cool, upper 50s to low 60s, patchy clouds, and light winds. Sunrise was at 6:20 am, with sunset coming at 8:02 pm, so you’ve got plenty of daylight to work your favorite spots[2]. Best lures right now are chartreuse or green flashers paired with herring or anchovy, either trolled behind a downrigger or mooched deep. If you’re targeting Chinook, try a 3- to 3.5-inch spoon, or hoochies in white, green, or glow, fished 80 to 150 feet down. For early pinks, pink mini hoochies, buzz bombs, or small spoons are drawing strikes. Herring and anchovy work great as bait, both trolled or fished under a float[4][5]. Local hotspots include Jefferson Head and Richmond Beach for blackmouth, with several nice keepers coming in each day. Down south, the Tacoma Narrows is producing well, and don’t sleep on the Clay Banks near Point Defiance, especially on a moving tide[4][5]. Get out early, fish those tide changes, and be safe out there. Tight lines! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Today is shaping up to be a classic spring morning on Puget Sound. Sunrise was at 6:10 AM and sunset will be at 8:03 PM, giving us a long day on the water. The weather is expected to be mild with light winds from the south and temperatures in the low 50s this morning, climbing to the low 60s by the afternoon. Cloud cover should be light, so bring your sunglasses and sunscreen. Tides today are favorable for anglers. The morning incoming tide peaks late morning, followed by a solid afternoon outgoing, which tends to kick fish activity into high gear. Make sure to check precise tidal times for your specific location before heading out[2]. Fishing activity has picked up through Marine Areas 10 and 11, which cover much of the Seattle and Tacoma-Vashon Island waters. The spring Chinook, or blackmouth, season is open Wednesdays through Saturdays this month, so today is a legal day to target them. Recent creel reports from the Sound show that anglers are connecting with blackmouth in the 6 to 10 pound range, with a few larger specimens mixed in[1][2][3]. Herring remains the top bait for mooching or trolling, especially brined green label herring trolled behind a flasher. If you prefer artificials, Point Wilson Darts in candlefish patterns and Coho Killers in green or white are getting bites, particularly when worked slowly near the bottom. Hoochies in glow or blue-and-white behind a dodger are also producing well, especially when the water is a bit murky[4]. For beach anglers or those targeting cutthroat in the shallows, try small spoons or epoxy minnows along the edges in the early morning when baitfish are in tight. Fly anglers are finding success casting clouser minnows or shock-and-awe patterns near creek mouths. Strong reports are coming in from two hotspots: the north end of Vashon Island near Dolphin Point, and the Jeff Head area off the west side of Bainbridge Island. These spots are holding bait and a good push of hungry blackmouth, especially during tidal swings[3]. Steelhead rivers in the area are largely closed for the season, but remember to check the latest WDFW regulations before you go out, as emergency rule changes can affect open dates[2]. Overall, expectation for today is solid action on spring Chinook, especially if you find the bait balls and work your gear near the bottom. Remember, most success is coming early and late, so plan accordingly. Stay safe, respect the resource, and good luck out there. This is Artificial Lure, signing off. Tight lines!

The morning’s crisp Northwest air greeted anglers all over Seattle and the Sound. Sunrise came at 6:20 am, with light beginning to fill the sky well before then – a perfect early window for those dawn patrol bites. Sunset tonight will be at 8:02 pm, giving us a nice, long day on the water. Tidal action today is solid for fishing, especially for those targeting salmon on the move. In Seattle, the low tide dips to -0.9 feet around 1:43 pm, with highs hitting just over 12 feet at 7:26 am and another solid push up to 13.5 feet just before 10 pm. Fish those tide changes for your best shot, especially the morning high and the afternoon swing as the water moves back in[6][8][10]. Weather is seasonally cool and steady, with highs in the upper 50s and low 60s, patchy clouds, and a light breeze – classic spring sound conditions. No big wind advisories expected, but always keep an eye out as the day goes on[8]. Fish activity in the Sound is picking up. Recent creel reports have shown a mix of spring Chinook starting to trickle in, especially in marine areas north of Seattle and toward Everett and the San Juans[1]. While Chinook numbers are still modest due to conservation restrictions, the real story is the anticipated pink salmon run, which is set to be one of the biggest in recent history—forecasted at 7.76 million in Puget Sound this year. Expect that pink bite to get hot as we move further into the season, with stronger returns on the Green and Nisqually rivers[2]. For gear, it’s a day for versatility. Anglers targeting Chinook are having the best luck trolling 3.5-inch Gold Star Octopus Squid in Green Splatter Back or Purple Haze behind a flasher. Silver Horde Ace Hi Flies and Kingfisher Spoons are top picks, with blue, green, and white patterns proving most consistent. If you’re jigging, Puget Pounder Jigs in herring or candlefish colors are money, especially around structure and points[7][9]. For bait, herring—either whole or strip—remains unbeatable for mooching and trolling. Recent catches have included a few keeper Chinook, some early coho, and a smattering of resident blackmouth. The pinks are just starting to show, but expect those numbers to pop in coming weeks. Most action has come from 60 to 120 feet, working the edges at tide changes[1][2]. A couple of hot spots for your hit list today: Point No Point is drawing early-season salmon, and West Point down near Shilshole has produced in the mornings on the outgoing tide. A little north, the area between Edmonds and Richmond Beach has had steady reports too. Remember to check regulations for the latest emergency closures and quota updates, especially for Chinook. Good luck out there—tight lines and sharp hooks! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Expect that pink bite to get hot as we move further into the season, with stronger returns on the Green and Nisqually rivers[2]. For gear, it’s a day for versatility. Anglers targeting Chinook are having the best luck trolling 3.5-inch Gold Star Octopus Squid in Green Splatter Back or Purple Haze behind a flasher. Silver Horde Ace Hi Flies and Kingfisher Spoons are top picks, with blue, green, and white patterns proving most consistent. If you’re jigging, Puget Pounder Jigs in herring or candlefish colors are money, especially around structure and points[7][9]. For bait, herring—either whole or strip—remains unbeatable for mooching and trolling. Recent catches have included a few keeper Chinook, some early coho, and a smattering of resident blackmouth. The pinks are just starting to show, but expect those numbers to pop in coming weeks. Most action has come from 60 to 120 feet, working the edges at tide changes[1][2]. A couple of hot spots for your hit list today: Point No Point is drawing early-season salmon, and West Point down near Shilshole has produced in the mornings on the outgoing tide. A little north, the area between Edmonds and Richmond Beach has had steady reports too. Remember to check regulations for the latest emergency closures and quota updates, especially for Chinook. Good luck out there—tight lines and sharp hooks!

With the sunrise at 6:24 AM and sunset at 7:59 PM, there's a good window of daylight for fishing adventures. The tides for the day include a low tide at 1:21 AM with 5.9 feet, a high tide at 6:37 AM reaching 13.1 feet, another low tide at 1:35 PM dropping sharply to -0.4 feet, and a final high tide at 8:21 PM with 13.3 feet. The sharp tidal swings this afternoon could stir up some great fish activity. Spring fishing in Puget Sound features a mix of blackmouth (winter Chinook salmon) and early spring Chinook, both of which are feeding actively as they prepare for their next growth phase. Reports show good numbers of Sea-Run Cutthroat trout in South Puget Sound, chasing chum fry which are now migrating out to the ocean. To target these trout, small sand lance and herring patterns are proving effective, along with chum fry imitations. Recent catches indicate moderate success with Chinook salmon, particularly in deeper waters. Anglers trolling with downriggers have had luck using Silver Horde 3.5 Kingfisher Spoons and Gold Star 3.5 Octopus Squids behind flashers. Other lures, such as Tomic Plugs and Puget Pounder Jigs, are also recommended for targeting both Chinook and Coho salmon. For bait, smaller herring (orange or red label) cut or whole, rigged to create a tight spin, remains a reliable choice. Weather conditions should be relatively calm with mild temperatures, which are typical of mid-April, making for a pleasant day on the water. The South Puget Sound hotspots worth exploring today include the waters near Point Defiance and Fox Island. For those targeting Sea-Run Cutthroat, try the shoreline beaches around Gig Harbor or the Nisqually Flats. Overall, the combination of today's favorable tides, active fish species, and great lure options should provide an exciting day for anglers in Puget Sound.

Today, Saturday, April 12, 2025, the sunrise is at 6:28 AM with sunset around 7:56 PM, giving plenty of daylight hours to make the most of the spring fishing season. The tides today feature a high tide at 5:56 AM (13'5"), a low tide at 12:42 PM (1'0"), and another high tide at 7:02 PM (12'6")—a favorable setup for fishing as moving water often stirs up feeding fish. Today's weather looks cooperative, with partly cloudy skies, light winds, and temperatures in the mid-50s, perfect for a day by the water. Out on the Sound, there’s been great action, especially for sea-run cutthroat trout and early Chinook. Sea-run cutthroat are chasing chum fry, which are abundant during this time of year. Anglers have reported success using chum fry fly patterns on the outgoing tides along with small baitfish patterns like Sand Lance imitators. For Chinook salmon (resident "Blackmouth"), anglers trolling with Silver Horde Ace-Hi Flies, Kingfisher Spoons, or Brad’s Cut Plugs have seen impressive results. Key colors include green, white, and glow patterns, especially on overcast days. Recent catches show good activity for both resident Coho and Chinook. South Sound remains a hot spot, especially in areas near Vashon Island and Tacoma, with reports of healthy Chinook and Coho from local anglers. Sea-run cutthroat have been plentiful along local beaches, especially early mornings and during tidal transitions. For hot spots, give Dash Point Pier a visit for solid pier fishing action or try Point No Point Beach for beach casting. East Passage near Tacoma is another excellent trolling zone, particularly for those targeting Chinook. Bring a mix of lures, but don’t discount classic bait like herring or anchovies, rigged with a bend to mimic a natural swim. Whether fly fishing or trolling, it’s looking like a fantastic day to be on Puget Sound. Tight lines! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Today is Friday, April 11, 2025, and Puget Sound is shaping up for some excellent spring Chinook fishing. Here’s your daily fishing report to help you plan your day on the water. The tidal schedule for today shows a high tide at 5:40 AM (13’6”), a low tide at 12:19 PM (1’10”), and another high tide at 6:21 PM (12’0”). Sunrise was at 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at 7:55 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to enjoy some solid fishing windows. Weather conditions are favorable with calm waters, partly cloudy skies, and temperatures ranging from 48°F in the morning to the mid-50s by afternoon. The Chinook season in Marine Areas 10 (Seattle-Bremerton) and 11 (Tacoma-Vashon) is in full swing, open Wednesdays through Saturdays through April. Anglers are reporting good success trolling deep, with legal-sized hatchery Chinook over the 22-inch minimum being caught consistently. Recent encounters include solid numbers of Blackmouth, our resident Chinook salmon. Catch guidelines are still in effect, so keep an eye on regulations. For gear, trolling setups with Silver Horde Kingfisher spoons in patterns like "Cookies and Cream" or "Irish Cream" have been top producers. Tomic Plugs, especially #602 and #603, also perform well when rigged 30 to 40 feet behind the downrigger for a natural presentation. Mooching with brined herring and vertical jigging with Puget Pounder Jigs are great alternatives for those without trolling setups. Glowing or UV-themed lures are highly effective in deeper waters, so be sure to match your setup to the fish activity near the bottom, typically between 90 and 200 feet. Hot spots for today include Jeff Head in Marine Area 10, where the south side is productive during outgoing tides and the north side near President’s Point shines during incoming tides. Kingston’s inner bowl during outgoing tides or the outer bar when the tide is flooding are also reliable bets. In Marine Area 11, Point Defiance’s Slag Pile and Dalco Point on the Vashon side are yielding quality catches depending on tidal flow. Today, with cooperative tides, weather, and plenty of fish activity, is a prime opportunity to target Puget Sound’s Chinook. Don’t forget to keep your gear close to the bottom, monitor the WDFW updates for area-specific guidelines, and stay legal with your daily limits. Tight lines, and happy fishing!

With the weather hitting a comfortable high of 58°F and partly cloudy skies, it was a great day to get out on the water. Sunrise was at 6:25 AM, and sunset will be at 7:53 PM, providing ample daylight for fishing. The tidal schedule today showed a high tide early morning, peaking just after sunrise, with a low tide around midday. These transitions are excellent for targeting salmon, as the tidal currents concentrate baitfish along drop-offs and underwater shelves. Marine Areas 10 and 11 have been bustling as the early Chinook (Blackmouth) season is in full swing. Recent action has been promising, with anglers catching good numbers of resident Chinook. Reports indicate that trolling along contour lines between 90 and 200 feet, keeping gear close to the bottom, has been highly effective. In Marine Area 10, spots like Jeff Head and Kingston Bowl have yielded good results. For Marine Area 11, areas near Point Defiance, Dalco Point, and the Slag Pile are producing well, especially during tidal changes. Chinook remain the main target, though halibut fishing, which reopened on April 3 in many Puget Sound marine areas, is drawing attention. Anglers pursuing halibut have had success along the deeper channels and humps. When it comes to lures, proven winners include Silver Horde Kingfisher Spoons (in Cookies and Cream or Irish Cream), Ace Hi Flies, and Gold Star plastic squid (#35 Octopus Squid). Jigs, such as the Puget Pounder, are also popular for vertical jigging. For bait fishing enthusiasts, herring cured in brine or anchovies used either whole or cut produce excellent results. Creel reports from recent days suggest that many anglers are reaching limits on Chinook, with catches often including clipped hatchery fish over 22 inches. Wild Chinook and chum must be released. For halibut, the daily limit is one, with no size restrictions. A couple of hot spots to hit tomorrow include: 1. **Jeff Head (Marine Area 10)**: Focus on the south side during outgoing tides and near President’s Point on the incoming tides. 2. **Point Defiance and Dalco Point (Marine Area 11)**: Productive for trolling or jigging during tide changes. Today has been another promising day for Puget Sound anglers, with an exciting variety of opportunities in both salmon and halibut fisheries. Tight lines to all!

Here’s your detailed fishing report for Friday, April 4, 2025, focused on Puget Sound in and around Seattle. With promising conditions and active fisheries, it’s a great time to hit the water. Weather is ideal for fishing today. Skies are partly cloudy with temperatures starting in the mid-40s, climbing to the mid-50s later this afternoon. Winds are light, creating calm waters across the Sound. Sunrise was at 6:39 AM, and sunset will be at 7:39 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to enjoy. Tidal movement is active today, with an outgoing tide in the morning and an incoming mid-to-late afternoon, so plan your hotspots accordingly. The big story this week is the start of Chinook salmon season in Marine Areas 10 and 11. Blackmouth Chinook are the prime target, and anglers are reporting good success since the season opened on April 2. Blackmouth are lurking near the bottom at depths of 90 to 200 feet, so keep your gear close to the seabed. Legal-sized Chinook (over 22 inches) are being caught in decent numbers, though remember to release all wild Chinook and chum. The daily limit is two salmon, with one clipped Chinook allowed. Halibut fishing also kicked off yesterday in some Puget Sound marine areas. While quotas are being monitored, early catches are promising. For halibut, aim for deeper waters around 150 to 300 feet and use bold, scented bait setups to attract sizable fish. Trolling setups have been the most productive for Chinook. The best lures this season include: - Silver Horde Kingfisher Lite spoons in the “Cookies and Cream” and “Irish Cream” patterns. - Tomic Plugs in #602 and #603 colors, fished 30-40 feet back from the downrigger clip. - Ace Hi Flies and flasher combinations for UV/glow effectiveness. - For those without downriggers, try mooching with herring or vertical jigging using Puget Pounder Jigs. Marine Area 10 is a hotbed of activity. Top spots include Jeff Head (fish the south side during an outgoing tide and President’s Point on the incoming tide) and Kingston, where anglers have had success near the ferry terminal and outer bar. In Marine Area 11 near Tacoma, popular sites include Point Defiance’s Slag Pile and Clay Banks during outgoing tides, and Dalco Point off Vashon Island during incoming tides. Looking ahead, as halibut anglers get started this weekend, keep in mind the one-fish daily limit and always check regulations before heading out. Lingcod and rockfish seasons will also ramp up later this month, so anglers may want to gear up for some excellent bottom-fishing opportunities. Today’s conditions are shaping up nicely for a productive day on the water. Whether you’re targeting Blackmouth Chinook at rocky underwater banks or halibut in the deeper channels, enjoy the bounty of Puget Sound. Tight lines!

Winds are light, making for favorable conditions on the water. Sunrise was at 6:39 AM, and sunset will be at 7:39 PM. Tidal movements are critical—focus on fishing the outgoing tide at points like Jeff Head south side or Kingston’s inner bowl. On the incoming tide, President’s Point and Kingston’s outer bar could be productive. **Fish Activity and Catch Reports:** Chinook activity is promising this spring, as the fishery opens with an encounter guideline of 4,787 in Marine Area 10 and 1,196 in Marine Area 11. Anglers are reporting success with clipped Chinook over 22 inches, though wild Chinook and chum must be released. The daily limit is two salmon, with most catches coming from trolling setups. Reports from recent trips suggest good numbers of legal Blackmouth being landed in both areas. **Top Lures and Bait:** - Trollers have had success with flasher and spoon combinations, such as the Silver Horde Kingfisher Lite spoons in "Cookies and Cream" and "Irish Cream" patterns. - Tomic Plugs (#602 or #603) work well if fished 30-40 feet back from the downrigger clip. - Mooching with herring or vertical jigging with Puget Pounder Jigs are great alternatives for those without downriggers. - Use lures with UV/glow finishes, as they are effective in Puget Sound's deeper waters. **Hot Spots:** - **Marine Area 10:** Jeff Head (south side for outgoing tide, north side near President’s Point for incoming tide), and Kingston’s ferry terminal area. - **Marine Area 11:** Point Defiance (Slag Pile and Clay Banks during outgoing tide), and Dalco Point near Vashon Island during incoming tide. **Looking Ahead:** Halibut fishing opens tomorrow, April 3, in parts of Puget Sound. Anglers should check for quota updates and regulations. If you're planning ahead, lingcod and rockfish catch opportunities will also pick up later this month. Today's conditions present an excellent opportunity to troll the rocky contours of Puget Sound for Blackmouth Chinook.

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 07:57:06 -0000 full Inception Point AI Fishing Report for Puget Sound, Seattle - April 2, 2025 Today marks the opening of the early Chinook season in Marine Areas 10 and 11, running Wednesday through Saturday each week. The focus is on Blackmouth Chinook salmon, and fishers could see better opportunities with larger catches based on the delayed start of the season. Blackmouth are concentrated near the bottom, so targeting depths of 90 to 200 feet with your gear close to the bottom is recommended. **Weather and Tides:** The morning started calm, with partly cloudy skies and temperatures around 47°F, expected to climb to the mid-50s later in the day. Winds are light, making for favorable conditions on the water. Sunrise was at 6:39 AM, and sunset will be at 7:39 PM.

Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 31, 2025. We've got some decent weather today, partly cloudy with highs around 55°F and light winds. Sunrise was at 6:49 AM and sunset will be at 7:38 PM, so we've got plenty of daylight to work with. Tides are looking good - we've got a low tide of -1.5 feet at 1:07 PM and a high tide of 12.2 feet at 6:25 AM. The big news is that the Chinook season in Marine Areas 10 and 11 opens up tomorrow, April 1st. Until then, we're still seeing some decent action on resident coho and blackmouth. Anglers have been having luck trolling with Gibbs Skinny G spoons in Bon Chovy color, as well as Silver Horde Coho Killers. For those of you who prefer artificials like me, try working some Ace Hi Flies behind a flasher. Recent reports show anglers averaging 1-2 fish per trip, with most blackmouth in the 5-8 pound range. A few lucky folks have landed some in the teens. Don't forget your crab pots - the Dungeness have been thick lately. For bait fishermen, herring has been the ticket. Try jigging for your own if you can - fresh is always best. Anchovies and squid strips are good backups. As for hot spots, Jeff Head has been producing well on the outgoing tide. The north side of Point No Point is worth a look on the incoming. For you shore anglers, try casting from the Edmonds pier or Redondo Beach - I've heard good things about both lately. Remember, starting tomorrow the limit will be two salmon daily, only one of which can be a Chinook. Make sure to check the regs before you head out. That's all for now, folks.

The big news is that the Chinook season is still going strong in Marine Area 10. Anglers have been having good luck trolling with downriggers near Jefferson Head and Possession Bar. Green Dot and Purple Haze Yamashita squids behind flashers have been hot producers. Don't forget your Tomic plugs either - the 602 and 603 patterns in 4" size are always solid choices this time of year. For you bank anglers, the resident Coho action has been picking up nicely. Folks casting Buzz Bombs and Rotators from the Edmonds Pier have been landing some nice silvers in the 3-5 pound range. If you're heading out that way, try to time it for the incoming tide. Over on the Eastside, cutthroat fishing has been excellent in Lake Sammamish. Small spoons and Woolly Bugger flies have been doing the trick. A few anglers reported catching and releasing some hefty 16-18 inch cutties near Idylwood Park. As for bait, herring is always a good bet for salmon. The orange label has been the hot ticket lately. If you're after bottomfish, squid strips on a dropper loop rig is hard to beat. For you crabbers out there, the pots have been coming up full lately. Just remember we're in a Wednesday-Saturday only season right now. Hot spots to check out this week: Point No Point for salmon trolling, Redondo Beach Pier for squid jigging at night, and the north end of Vashon Island for some mixed bag action.

Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for Friday, March 28, 2025. It's a beautiful spring morning in Seattle, with the sun rising at 6:55 AM and setting later at 7:34 PM. We've got a high tide of 11.8 feet at 4:59 AM and a low tide of 2.7 feet at 11:07 AM, so plan your trips accordingly. The weather's looking decent today, with partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-50s. Perfect conditions for wetting a line! Water temps are still on the chilly side, but that's not stopping the fish from biting. Blackmouth fishing has been heating up lately, with some nice catches reported around Possession Bar and Point No Point. Anglers are having luck trolling with Green Crush flashers paired with Silver Horde Coho Killer spoons in Irish Cream or Cookies and Cream patterns. Don't forget to swap out those treble hooks for single barbless hooks to stay legal. For you bank anglers, the Edmonds Pier has been producing some nice sea-run cutthroat trout. Try casting Buzz Bombs or Point Wilson Darts in green and white colors. If you're feeling old school, a plug-cut herring on a mooching rig can still do the trick. Squidding has been hit or miss, but persistent anglers are filling buckets after dark at Seacrest Park in West Seattle. Green jigs seem to be the ticket right now. Looking ahead to summer, it's shaping up to be a banner year for coho. Early forecasts are predicting strong returns, so make sure your gear is ready to go when those silvers show up. For you crabbers out there, the season is still closed, but it's never too early to start prepping those pots. Word on the docks is that we might see an earlier opener this year, so stay tuned. If you're itching to try somewhere new, consider heading up to the San Juan Islands. The winter blackmouth season is still going strong up there, and the scenery can't be beat. Remember, folks, always check the regs before you head out and practice catch and release when you can. Tight lines and see you on the water!

Resident coho are starting to show up in greater numbers, with some nice catches reported off the beaches. A few lucky anglers have even hooked into some early spring chinook. Sea-run cutthroat action has been solid as well. For lures, I'm loving the Silver Horde Kingfisher spoons in 3.5" and 4" sizes. The Herring Aid and Cookies n' Cream patterns have been hot. Ace Hi flies behind a flasher are another great option - try the green splatter back or purple haze colors. If you're fishing bait, herring or anchovies rigged in a helmet are tough to beat. Some productive spots to check out: the waters off West Point Lighthouse, the shipping lanes near Edmonds, and along the shoreline from Alki to Lincoln Park. The artificial reef off Seacrest Park has been holding good numbers of fish too. Remember, we're still under selective gear rules for salmon, so single-point barbless hooks only. The daily limit is one chinook between 22-30 inches in most areas. That's all for now, folks. Get out there and tight lines!

That midday high tide could be prime time for some action. Fish activity has been picking up lately as we move into spring. We're seeing some nice catches of resident Chinook (blackmouth) and the early spring Chinook run is starting to show promise. Coho action has been steady, especially in the south sound. A few lucky anglers have been landing some hefty blackmouth in the 8-10 pound range. For lures, I've been having great luck with Silver Horde Coho Killer spoons in the Army Truck or Purple Haze colors. The trusty green/white Coyote spoon is always a good bet too. If you're targeting coho, try working a pink hoochie behind a flasher. For you fly anglers, olive or white Clouser Minnows have been producing well for sea-run cutthroat.

We're seeing some nice catches of resident coho salmon, especially in the south sound. Blackmouth fishing remains steady, with a few lucky anglers landing some nice keepers in the 8-10 pound range. Sea-run cutthroat trout action is improving as we get further into spring. For lures, I've been having great luck with Silver Horde Coho Killer spoons in the Army Truck or Purple Haze colors. The trusty green/white Coyote spoon is always a good bet too. If you're targeting blackmouth, try slow trolling a whole herring in a helmet. For the cutthroat, small Clouser Minnow flies in olive or white have been working well. Bait-wise, you can't go wrong with herring or anchovy. I've also been hearing good reports from guys using sandlance imitations. As for hot spots, the waters around Point No Point have been producing some nice blackmouth. For coho, try working the shorelines near Tacoma. Blake Island has also been a consistent producer lately. Remember to check the regs before heading out, and tight lines to all you anglers out there!

Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for March 21, 2025. We're looking at a decent day on the water today. Sunrise was at 7:12 AM and sunset will be at 7:22 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with. The weather's shaping up to be partly cloudy with a high of 54°F and light winds from the southwest. Tides are running moderate, with a high of 11.5 feet at 9:23 AM and a low of 1.8 feet at 4:07 PM. The big news is that the spring Chinook season is just around the corner, but we've still got some nice winter blackmouth action going on. Anglers have been having luck targeting these resident Chinook salmon, especially in Marine Areas 10 and 11. Reports from last week show decent catches around Jefferson Head, Point No Point, and Possession Bar. Most fish have been in the 5-8 pound range, with a few pushing 12-15 pounds. For you blackmouth hunters, I'd recommend trolling with downriggers using flashers and spoons. The Green Crush flasher paired with a 3.5" Kingfisher Lite spoon in Cookies n' Cream or Irish Cream has been a hot combo. If you prefer bait, try whole or cut-plug herring behind a flasher. Don't forget about the sea-run cutthroat trout either. They've been active in the shallows, especially on incoming tides. Casting small Clouser Minnows or Crazy Charlie flies near creek mouths and along gravelly beaches can produce some nice cutties. As for hot spots, I'd suggest trying Possession Bar on the flood tide or working the edges of Quartermaster Harbor. If you're shore-bound, the fishing pier at Redondo Beach has been producing some nice blackmouth for anglers using jigs or cut herring. The resident coho action has been picking up nicely too. Folks casting Buzz Bombs and Rotators from the Edmonds Pier have been landing some nice silvers in the 3-5 pound range. If you're heading out that way, try to time it for the incoming tide. Remember to grab your 2025 fishing license and salmon catch record card before heading out. Tight lines, everyone!

Anglers have been having luck trolling with Gibbs Skinny G spoons in Bon Chovy color, as well as Silver Horde Coho Killers. For those of you who prefer artificials like me, try working some Ace Hi Flies behind a flasher. Recent reports show anglers averaging 1-2 fish per trip, with most blackmouth in the 5-8 pound range. A few lucky folks have landed some in the teens. Don't forget your crab pots - the Dungeness have been thick lately. For bait fishermen, herring has been the ticket. Try jigging for your own if you can - fresh is always best. Anchovies and squid strips are good backups. As for hot spots, Jeff Head has been producing well on the outgoing tide. The north side of Point No Point is worth a look on the incoming. For you shore anglers, try casting from the Edmonds pier or Redondo Beach - I've heard good things about both lately. Remember, the limit is two salmon daily, only one of which can be a Chinook. Make sure to check the regs before you head out. That's all for now, folks. Tight lines and see you on the water!

Tides are looking good - we've got a low tide of 1.0 feet at 11:56 AM and a high tide of 11.0 feet at 5:44 PM. The big news is that the Chinook season in Marine Areas 10 and 11 opens up in a few weeks on April 2nd. Until then, we're still seeing some decent action on resident coho and blackmouth. Anglers have been having luck trolling with Gibbs Skinny G spoons in Bon Chovy color, as well as Silver Horde Coho Killers. For those of you who prefer artificials like me, try working some Ace Hi Flies behind a flasher. Recent reports show anglers averaging 1-2 fish per trip, with most blackmouth in the 5-8 pound range. A few lucky folks have landed some in the teens. Don't forget your crab pots - the Dungeness have been thick lately. For bait fishermen, herring has been the ticket. Try jigging for your own if you can - fresh is always best. Anchovies and squid strips are good backups. As for hot spots, Jeff Head has been producing well on the outgoing tide. The north side of Point No Point is worth a look on the incoming. For you shore anglers, try casting from the Edmonds pier or Redondo Beach - I've heard good things about both lately. Remember, the limit is two salmon daily, only one of which can be a Chinook. Make sure to check the regs before you head out. That's all for now, folks. Tight lines and see you on the water!

First off, let's talk about the conditions. Today, the sunrise is at about 7:23 AM, and sunset will be around 4:57 PM. The weather is typical for the Pacific Northwest this time of year – overcast with a light drizzle, temperatures hovering in the mid-40s to low 50s. It's not ideal, but it's certainly fishable. Now, let's dive into the tidal report. For today, February 12, we have a high tide at 5:17 AM with a level of 11.8 feet, and another high tide at 15:58 PM with a level of 10.2 feet. The low tides are at 10:44 AM with a level of 7.1 feet and again at 22:10 PM with a level of -1.5 feet. These tidal changes should provide some good windows for fishing, especially during the early morning and late evening hours. The fish activity in Puget Sound has been quite promising lately. For those after winter steelhead, the Olympic Peninsula rivers like the Bogachiel and Calawah are still producing some hatchery fish, along with a few wild steelhead starting to show up in decent numbers. Historically, February and March are the peak months for wild steelhead returns, so we can expect the fishing to improve in the coming weeks. For steelhead, using a variety of sink tips and flies to adapt to the changing water conditions is key. Streamers or a double nymph rig under an indicator work well in the mornings, while dry fly fishing in the afternoons can be very productive. Flies like parachute Adams, Griffiths Gnat, WD-40, and Zebra Midge are good choices. In the South Puget Sound, sea-run cutthroat fishing has been improving daily. Anglers have been doing well using chum fry patterns and covering a lot of water to find active fish. Sculpin patterns, Euphausiid and Krill, and small suggestive patterns mimicking copepods and amphipods are also highly effective. For sea-run cutthroat, focus on slow retrieves with krill and euphasid patterns. A floating krill pattern like the White Gartside Gurgler can be very effective. For salmon enthusiasts, Chinook salmon fishing is always a highlight in Puget Sound. While the peak season is usually in the summer, there are still opportunities to catch them, especially when using the right lures. Metal jigs like the Puget Pounder are excellent for pier fishing, as they descend quickly and have a salmon-catching flutter that Chinook salmon can't resist. Other top performers include the Gold Star Yamashita #35 Octopus Squid, Grand Slam Bucktails, and Silver Horde Kingfisher Spoons. These lures should be used behind a flasher to maximize their effectiveness. If you're looking for some hot spots, consider the Olympic Peninsula rivers for steelhead, and the South Puget Sound for sea-run cutthroat. For Chinook salmon, areas near Vashon Island, Tacoma, and Gig Harbor are particularly productive, especially when using metal jigs like the Puget Pounder.

First off, let's talk about the tides. Today, we have a high tide at 3:26 AM with a level of 11.1 feet, and another high tide at 12:21 PM with a level of 10.6 feet. The low tides are at 8:10 AM with a level of 8.7 feet and again at 19:53 PM with a level of -1.0 feet. These tidal changes should provide some good windows for fishing, especially during the early morning and late evening hours. Weather-wise, it's a typical Pacific Northwest day – overcast with a light drizzle, temperatures in the mid-40s to low 50s. Not ideal, but certainly fishable. Sunrise today is at 7:23 AM, and sunset is at 4:57 PM, giving us a decent amount of daylight to get out on the water. Now, onto the fish activity. Recently, the South Puget Sound has been seeing some action with sea-run cutthroat trout. These fish are active, especially during the early morning outgoing tides. You can expect to find them feeding on chum fry and other small crustaceans close to the shore. For these fish, using fly patterns like Sculpin, Euphausiid and Krill, and small suggestive patterns mimicking copepods and amphipods are your best bets. For those targeting salmon, the winter blackmouth (Chinook) fishing has been decent. Lures like the Gold Star Yamashita #35 Octopus Squid, Grand Slam Bucktails, and Silver Horde Kingfisher Spoons are proven winners in these waters. If you're not set up for trolling with downriggers, vertical jigging with metal jigs like the Puget Pounder Jig can also be very effective.

For salmon, the areas near Tacoma and Gig Harbor have been productive, especially when using the aforementioned lures. In the Olympic Peninsula, the steelhead season is in full swing. The Bogachiel and Calawah rivers are still yielding some hatchery fish and a few nice native steelhead. Make sure to bring a variety of sink tips and flies to adapt to the changing water conditions. In summary, today looks like a good day to get out and catch some fish in Puget Sound. With the right lures and a bit of patience, you should be able to land some nice sea-run cutthroat or even a Chinook salmon. Just remember to slow down your retrieves, especially for the cutthroat, and keep an eye out for those early morning and late evening tides.

These tides are crucial, especially if you're targeting species like sea-run cutthroat or salmon, as they tend to be more active during the changing tides. ### Fish Activity The fish activity in Puget Sound has been quite promising lately. For those after winter steelhead, the Olympic Peninsula rivers like the Bogachiel and Calawah are still producing some hatchery fish, along with a few wild steelhead starting to show up in decent numbers. Historically, February and March are the peak months for wild steelhead returns, so we can expect the fishing to improve in the coming weeks[1][4]. In the South Puget Sound, sea-run cutthroat fishing has been improving daily. Anglers have been doing well using chum fry patterns and covering a lot of water to find active fish. Sculpin patterns, Euphassiid and Krill, and small suggestive patterns mimicking copepods and amphipods are also highly effective[1]. For salmon enthusiasts, Chinook salmon fishing is always a highlight in Puget Sound. While the peak season is usually in the summer, there are still opportunities to catch them, especially when using the right lures. Metal jigs like the Puget Pounder are excellent for pier fishing, as they descend quickly and have a salmon-catching flutter that Chinook salmon can't resist[2][5]. ### Best Lures and Bait For winter steelhead, it's best to use a variety of sink tips and flies to adapt to the changing water conditions. Streamers or a double nymph rig under an indicator work well in the mornings, while dry fly fishing in the afternoons can be very productive. Flies like parachute Adams, Griffiths Gnat, WD-40, and Zebra Midge are good choices[1]. For sea-run cutthroat, focus on slow retrieves with krill and euphasid patterns. A floating krill pattern like the White Gartside Gurgler can be very effective. Baitfish patterns such as the Foul Free Herring or Mini Deceiver are also worth having in your fly box[1]. For Chinook salmon, lures like the Gold Star Yamashita #35 Octopus Squid, Grand Slam Bucktails, and Silver Horde Kingfisher Spoons are top performers. These lures should be used behind a flasher to maximize their effectiveness. The Puget Pounder metal jig is another excellent choice, especially for pier fishing[2][5]. ### Hot Spots If you're looking for some hot spots, here are a few recommendations: - **Olympic Peninsula Rivers**: The Bogachiel and Calawah rivers are great for winter steelhead fishing. - * This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Today, January 31st, 2025, promises to be an exciting day on the water, so let's dive into the details. First off, let's check the tides. According to the tide reports, we have a low tide at 00:33 AM with a height of -0.62 meters, followed by a high tide at 7:29 AM reaching 4.98 meters. The next low tide is at 1:25 PM with a height of 1.85 meters, and the final high tide of the day is at 6:22 PM, hitting 4.18 meters[2]. The weather is looking relatively calm, with partial cloud cover and mild temperatures, making it ideal for a day out on the water. Sunrise is at 7:37 AM, and sunset is at 5:13 PM, giving us a good window to catch those early morning and late afternoon bites. Recently, the South Puget Sound has been seeing some great action. Sea Run Cutthroat fishing has been excellent, with fish actively moving around, especially during early morning outgoing tides. For these cutthroats, it's best to use fly patterns that mimic small crustaceans like krill, euphausiids, and sculpin. Slow down your retrieves and focus on winter fly patterns to increase your chances[1]. Coho fishing has also been good, with both resident and ocean-going coho present in the waters. For coho, using baitfish patterns like the Foul Free Herring or the Mini Deceiver can be very effective. If you're targeting coho, look for moving water and keep searching and covering the water to find the best spots[1]. For those after Chinook salmon, lures like the Grand Slam Bucktails, Puget Pounder Jigs, and Silver Horde Kingfisher Spoons are top choices. These lures, especially when trolled behind a flasher, can be very productive in the southern areas of Puget Sound near Vashon Island, Tacoma, and Gig Harbor[3]. If you're looking for some hot spots, I recommend checking out the beaches around Olympia and the Budd Inlet. These areas have been known for their good fishing conditions, especially during the early morning and late afternoon tides. Another great spot is the southern part of Puget Sound, particularly around Vashon Island and the waters near Tacoma and Gig Harbor. In summary, today is shaping up to be a great day for fishing in Puget Sound. With the right tides, calm weather, and the right lures, you're set for a productive day on the water. Remember to slow down your retrieves for those winter fly patterns and keep an eye out for moving water and early morning outgoing tides.

As of today, January 30, 2025, here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water. First off, let's talk about the tides. According to the tide times, the next high tide in Seattle is at 6:18 AM, and the next low tide is at 12:03 PM. This rising and falling tide can significantly impact fish activity, so it's crucial to plan your fishing trip accordingly[2]. Weather-wise, it's a typical winter day in Seattle – overcast with a slight chance of rain. The water temperature is a bit chilly, but that's perfect for targeting some of our favorite species. Sunrise today is at 7:51 AM, and sunset is at 4:47 PM, giving us a decent window for fishing. Given the time of year, we're primarily targeting Chinook salmon, as well as some halibut if the season allows. Recent creel reports from the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife indicate that Chinook salmon catches have been moderate in areas like Tacoma-Vashon Island and the South Puget Sound. While the numbers aren't staggering, there are definitely fish to be caught[5]. For lures, I highly recommend using some of the tried-and-true favorites for Puget Sound. The Grand Slam Bucktails, particularly the 4″ Needlefish and Herring patterns, have been proven killers. Trolling them behind a flasher can mimic the natural movement of baitfish, making them irresistible to Chinook salmon[3]. Another excellent choice is the Silver Horde Kingfisher Spoon. These spoons are dynamic and productive in every area of Puget Sound, working well for both winter blackmouth and summer Chinook. Make sure to fish them behind a flasher to add that extra flash and attract more fish[3]. If you prefer jigging, the Puget Pounder Jig is a great option. These metal jigs are very effective, especially in the southern areas of Puget Sound near Vashon Island, Tacoma, and Gig Harbor. Vertical jigging can be very effective if you know where the Chinook salmon are concentrated[3]. For halibut, which might be a bit challenging given the current closures and restrictions, it's essential to check the latest updates from NOAA Fisheries. As of now, recreational fishing for halibut is closed in certain areas, but there are plans to reopen some subareas based on the 2025 Pacific Halibut Catch Sharing Plan allocations[1]. Hot spots to consider include the waters around Point Defiance, particularly the public ramp area, and the Luhr Beach Ramp in South Puget Sound. These areas have shown some activity in recent creel reports and are known for their productive fishing grounds[5]. In summary, today's fishing in Puget Sound looks promising, especially if you're targeting Chinook salmon. Make sure to check the tide times, use the right lures, and head to the known hot spots.

First, let's look at the tides. For today, the high tide is at 4:37 AM with a height of 11.3 feet, and the low tide is at 9:38 AM with a height of 8.9 feet. Another high tide will be at 1:23 PM with a height of 10.1 feet, and the next low tide will be at 8:51 PM with a height of -1.1 feet. The weather is expected to be typical for this time of year, with a mix of cloud and sun, and temperatures in the mid-40s to low 50s. Sunrise is at 7:45 AM and sunset at 5:02 PM. Fish activity has been moderate in the South Puget Sound. Recent reports indicate that sea-run cutthroat trout fishing has been improving, especially when using chum fry patterns and covering a lot of water. However, the catch rates for salmon species like Chinook, Coho, Chum, Pink, and Sockeye have been low. There were a few Chinook caught per angler at the Point Defiance Public Ramp, but overall numbers were low. For the best results, focus on using fly patterns that mimic small crustaceans like sculpin, euphausiid, and krill. Small suggestive patterns mimicking copepods, amphipods, and other small crustacean larvae are also effective. If you're looking for hot spots, consider the Point Defiance Public Ramp and the Luhr Beach Ramp in the South Puget Sound area. These locations have shown some activity, although it's been sporadic. Another good spot could be the Gig Harbor Ramp, which is also in the South Puget Sound area.

These tides are part of the king tide cycle, which can bring more water movement and potentially better fishing conditions[2]. ### Weather Check the current weather forecast, but generally, this time of year in Seattle can be quite chilly and wet. Dress warmly and be prepared for rain. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is at 7:53 AM, and sunset will be at 4:34 PM. Early morning and late afternoon are often good times to catch fish as they tend to be more active during these periods. ### Fish Activity Fishing in the South Puget Sound has been improving, especially for sea-run cutthroat. These fish are currently focusing on krill, so using krill and euphausiid patterns can be very effective. Sculpin patterns and small suggestive patterns mimicking copepods, amphipods, and other small crustacean larvae are also recommended[1]. ### Catch Reports While specific catch data for yesterday is not available, recent reports indicate that sea-run cutthroat, resident coho, and occasional pink salmon have been active in the area. The cutthroat fishing has been particularly good, with fish caught using chum fry patterns and other small fly patterns[1]. ### Best Lures and Bait For sea-run cutthroat, use chum fry patterns, Sculpin patterns, and small suggestive patterns that mimic krill, copepods, and amphipods. For coho and pink salmon, baitfish patterns like the Foul Free Herring or Mini Deceiver can be effective. Floating krill patterns, such as the White Gartside Gurgler, are also a good choice[1]. ### Hot Spots Some hot spots to consider include the beaches around the South Puget Sound, particularly areas with moving water and early morning outgoing tides. Point Defiance Public Ramp and Luhr Beach Ramp are good access points for shore fishing in Area 13 of the South Puget Sound[4]. Overall, it looks like it could be a good day for catching some quality fish in the Puget Sound, especially if you target the right tides and use the appropriate lures.

Today, January 18, 2025, the tide times for Tacoma, which are similar for the Seattle area, are as follows: the first low tide was at 1:09 AM, the first high tide is at 8:14 AM, the second low tide is at 2:33 PM, and the second high tide is at 7:42 PM. These significant tidal changes can make for some exciting fishing[2]. The weather is typical for this time of year - overcast skies with a chance of light rain, and temperatures will be in the mid-40s to low 50s, so make sure to dress warmly[3]. Sunrise is at 7:49 AM and sunset is at 4:51 PM, giving you a decent window for fishing. Despite the chilly winter conditions, fishing in the Puget Sound is looking promising. Yesterday's catches were sparse in some areas, but there are still good spots to try. You can target salmon, particularly around Deception Pass and the north Whidbey Island beaches. Halibut fishing is also open, with a one-fish daily catch limit and no minimum size restriction[3]. For salmon, casting jigs or float fishing with herring is highly effective. Use medium-weight rods with 15 lb test line. For halibut, use sturdy gear and consider baiting with squid or octopus[3]. If you're looking for hot spots, Deception Pass is known for its high concentration of salmon in a small area. Another good spot is Possession Point at the southern tip of Whidbey Island, where several migration routes intersect, making it ideal for catching salmon and other species[3]. Sea-run cutthroat fishing has also been decent, especially with the recent reports of good fishing off the Puget Sound beaches. Look for moving water and early morning outgoing tides, and consider using fly patterns like Sculpin, Euphassiid, and Krill, or small suggestive patterns mimicking copepods and amphipods[1]. So, bundle up, check the tide tables, and head out to these hot spots for a productive day of fishing in the Puget Sound.

The high tide is expected at 9:51 AM with a height of 16.5 feet, and the low tide will be at 10:28 AM with a height of around 8.99 feet[2][5]. ### Weather The weather is overcast with 92% cloud cover, a temperature of 44°F, and a gentle wind of 8 mph with gusts up to 15 mph. The humidity is high at 89%, and the dew point is 41°F. These conditions, while not ideal, can still provide good fishing opportunities[3]. ### Sunrise and Sunset The sun rises at 7:58 AM and sets at 4:27 PM, giving us about 8 hours and 29 minutes of daylight. ### Fish Activity Yesterday saw good activity for sea-run cutthroat, coho, and chum salmon. The current conditions are favorable for these species, especially during the high tide periods. Migrating adult squid are also present and can be caught, especially at night near lighted areas[1][4]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Anglers reported catching a mix of cutthroat trout, coho salmon, and chum salmon. The squid jigging has been productive, particularly at public piers where squid are attracted to lighted areas. ### Best Lures and Bait For cutthroat trout, use small jigs or flies that mimic their natural prey. For coho and chum salmon, spoons and spinners are effective. When targeting squid, use squid jigs with glow-in-the-dark lures to attract them in the dark waters. ### Hot Spots - **Elliott Bay**: Known for its cutthroat trout and salmon, this area benefits from the high tide conditions. - **Pier Fishing**: Public piers such as those in Tacoma and Port Angeles are great spots for squid jigging, especially at night. - **Snoqualmie and Skykomish Rivers**: These rivers are good for early-returning hatchery steelhead and other salmon species[1][4]. Keep an eye on the tidal changes and adjust your fishing times accordingly. With the right gear and knowledge of the local conditions, you should have a productive day on the water.

A high tide is expected at around 9:17 AM with a height of 16.5 feet, which is part of the king tide phenomenon that will continue through January 6. This high tide is particularly notable, serving as both a natural spectacle and a warning about rising ocean levels. Another high tide will occur later in the day, but the morning high tide is the most significant. The low tide is expected at 11:40 AM with a height of 8.7 feet, and another low tide will occur at 11:13 PM with a height of -2.5 feet. These tidal fluctuations create excellent moving water conditions, ideal for finding active fish. ### Weather The weather forecast for today indicates partly cloudy skies with mild temperatures, which should make for comfortable fishing conditions. However, it's always a good idea to check the local weather forecast before heading out, as conditions can change quickly. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is at 8:03 AM, and sunset is at 4:20 PM, providing a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips. ### Fish Activity Yesterday saw good activity from various fish species. The South Puget Sound beaches were particularly productive, especially around moving water and during the early morning outgoing tides. Anglers reported catching a mix of species, including wild steelhead, which are starting to show up in decent numbers, and some resident coho salmon. ### Types of Fish and Catch Amounts The Olympic Peninsula has been a hot spot for wild steelhead, with several catches reported in the rivers and streams. In the Puget Sound itself, anglers have been catching squid, especially at night near public piers where the light attracts them. Migrating adult squid are still present and active in the area. ### Best Lures and Bait For steelhead, using small jigs or spinners in colors like pink or orange can be effective. For squid, jigging with squid jigs that mimic their natural prey, such as young herring, is highly recommended. When targeting coho salmon, lures like spoons or flies that imitate baitfish can work well. ### Hot Spots The South Puget Sound beaches, particularly around areas with good tidal movement and structure, have been fishing very well. The Olympic Peninsula is another hot spot, especially for wild steelhead. Look for areas like the Snoqualmie and Skykomish rivers, which are known for their early-returning hatchery steelhead. Overall, today's conditions are favorable for a productive day of fishing in Puget Sound.

These tides are crucial for planning your fishing trips, especially for squid and salmon fishing[2]. ### Weather Check the latest forecast, but generally, January weather in Seattle can be quite rough with rain and cooler temperatures. Make sure to dress warmly and be prepared for changing conditions. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is around 8:04 AM, and sunset is at 4:20 PM. These times are important for planning your day, especially if you're targeting fish that are more active during certain times of the day. ### Fish Activity January is a great time for several types of fishing in the Puget Sound. - **Blackmouth Salmon**: Fishing for resident Chinook Salmon, known as Blackmouth, is a highlight this time of year. These fish can be found in Marine Area 10 and South Sound’s Marine Area 13. Focus on areas like Jeff Head, Kingston, Richmond Beach, and Shilshole Bay. Downrigger trolling near the bottom in 80-150 feet of water is a successful technique. Ensure the fish are at least 22 inches and hatchery-clipped to keep them[1]. - **Squid**: Squid fishing has been excellent, both from boats and piers. Elliott Bay and Commencement Bay are good spots for boat anglers, while Les Davis Pier in Tacoma, Seacrest Pier in West Seattle, and Waterfront Piers in Downtown Seattle are great for pier fishing. Squid are active mainly at night but can also be caught during the day. Incoming and high tides are preferable[1][4]. - **Cutthroat Trout**: Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish offer robust Cutthroat Trout fisheries. Trolling in the upper 30 feet mid-lake with a double hook Wedding Ring and a nightcrawler behind a dodger or lake troll has been productive[1]. - **Steelhead**: January is a peak month for hatchery Steelhead in rivers like the Snoqualmie and Skykomish. Wild Steelhead starts to enter the river systems this month as well. Coastal rivers such as the Bogachiel and Queets also have good returns[1][4]. ### Best Lures and Bait For Blackmouth Salmon, use downrigger trolling rigs and focus on working near the bottom. For squid, squid jigs are the go-to, especially at night when squid are attracted to light. For Cutthroat Trout, a double hook Wedding Ring with a nightcrawler is effective. For Steelhead, traditional steelhead lures like spinners, spoons, and flies can be very effective. ### Hot Spots - **Jeff Head and Kingston**: These areas are known for good Blackmouth Salmon fishing. - **Elliott Bay and Commencement Bay**: Excellent spots for squid fishing. - **Les Davis Pier and Seacrest Pier**: Great piers for catching squid. - **Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish**: Prime locations for Cutthroat Trout. - **Snoqualmie and Skykomish Rivers**: Good spots for Steelhead fishing.

First, let's look at the tides. According to the tide charts, we have a high tide at 4:08 AM with a height of 11'8", followed by a low tide at 8:26 AM at 8'6". The next high tide is at 1:26 PM, reaching 13'4", and the final low tide of the day is at 9:05 PM, dipping to 0'3"[2][5]. Sunrise is at 7:57 AM, and sunset will be at 4:27 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing. In recent weeks, the South Puget Sound has been producing some very nice Cutthroat trout, and we are starting to see some Chum Salmon returning. For Cutthroat, fishing has been improving daily, especially with the chum fry migration getting closer. Look to fish patterns like chum fry, Sculpin, Euphassiid and Krill, and small suggestive patterns mimicking copepods, amphipods, and other small crustacean larvae[1]. For steelhead, particularly in the Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound rivers like the Snoqualmie and Skykomish, early-returning hatchery steelhead are starting to show up. Wild steelhead returns typically begin in January, but you can already catch a few now. Use a variety of sink tips and flies to prepare for the ever-changing water conditions[1][4]. Given the current tide and time of year, focus on moving water, especially during the early morning outgoing tides. Hot spots include the beaches around the South Puget Sound, where you can find Cutthroat and occasional Resident Coho. The Snoqualmie and Skykomish rivers are also good for steelhead. In terms of lures, stick with what's been working: Chum Baby, Foul Free Herring, Small Clouser Minnows, and krill and euphasid patterns. If you notice fish rising to eat krill right under the surface, a floating krill pattern like the White Gartside Gurgler can be very effective[1]. Overall, it's a good day to get out on the water, especially if you can time your fishing around the tides and look for those areas with moving water.

The weather is expected to be calm, which is ideal for spotting fish rising to the surface. ### Fish Activity Recently, the Puget Sound has been producing some very nice sea-run Cutthroat trout. These fish are active, especially during the early morning outgoing tides. You can also expect to see some Chum Salmon returning in the coming weeks, although their numbers are not yet at their peak[1]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Yesterday saw a decent catch of sea-run Cutthroat trout, with some anglers reporting quality fish. Resident Coho salmon are also present, although their numbers are not as high as during the peak season. There have been reports of a few hard-fighting Pink salmon, though they are less common this time of year[1]. ### Best Lures and Bait For sea-run Cutthroat, use fly patterns that mimic chum fry, such as Chum Baby or Foul Free Herring. Small suggestive patterns mimicking copepods, amphipods, and other small crustacean larvae are also effective. For Coho and Pink salmon, baitfish patterns like Mini Deceiver or small Clouser Minnows work well. Slow down your retrieves and focus on winter fly patterns like Sculpin, Euphassiid, and Krill[1]. ### Hot Spots Two hot spots to consider are the beaches around Olympia, Budd Inlet, and the popular fishing areas near Seattle. Look for moving water and early morning outgoing tides, which tend to concentrate the fish. The South Puget Sound beaches have been particularly good for sea-run Cutthroat, so make sure to cover a lot of water and be patient[1]. Overall, today should be a good day for fishing in the Puget Sound, with the right combination of tides, weather, and fish activity.

According to the tide tables, today you'll have a low tide at 3:18 AM with a height of 1.01 feet, followed by a high tide at 10:35 AM reaching 15.43 feet. The next low tide will be at 5:29 PM with a height of 5.94 feet, and the final high tide of the day will be at 9:49 PM at 9.92 feet[2]. The weather is expected to be cool and cloudy, typical for this time of year, with sunrise at 7:55 AM and sunset at 4:25 PM. Fishing in the South Puget Sound has been decent lately. Yesterday, anglers reported catching some nice Cutthroat trout, particularly around the beaches and in areas with moving water. The Chum fry migration is getting closer, which usually improves the fishing for sea-run Cutthroat[1]. For the best results, focus on using fly patterns that mimic small crustaceans like Sculpin, Euphausiid, and Krill. Small suggestive patterns mimicking copepods, amphipods, and other small crustacean larvae are also effective. If you're targeting baitfish, consider using patterns like the Foul Free Herring or Mini Deceiver[1]. Given the tidal conditions, the best times to fish today would be during the changing tides, especially when the water is moving from high to low or vice versa. This is when fish are more active and likely to bite[3]. Hot spots include the beaches around Olympia and the Budd Inlet area, where you can find moving water and early morning outgoing tides that are favorable for catching sea-run Cutthroat and other species. Another good spot is the South Puget Sound beaches, where you can find fish feeding on chum fry close to the bank[1]. Remember to slow down your retrieves and focus on your winter fly patterns, as the fish tend to be more sluggish in the colder months.

Today, the high tide in Seattle is at 10:44 AM with a height of 12.2 feet, and the low tide is at 4:20 PM with a height of 7.6 feet[4]. The weather is typical for this time of year, with sunrise at 7:49 AM and sunset at 4:22 PM. The days are short, but the fishing can be rewarding[1]. December is an excellent time for squid fishing in Puget Sound. Migrating adult squid are abundant and can be caught from various piers, including those from Port Angeles to Tacoma. Squid are most active at night and are attracted to light, so public piers are ideal spots. Incoming and high tides are the best times for squid jigging[3]. For other species, early-returning hatchery steelhead are starting to appear in rivers like the Snoqualmie and Skykomish. Big late-season or “B run” coho salmon are also present in North Puget Sound and southwest Washington rivers through December[3]. As for recent catches, while specific data for yesterday is not available, general trends indicate that coho, chum, and steelhead are active. Squid jigging has been productive, especially at night[3]. For lures and bait, squid jigs are the way to go for squid fishing. These jigs are inexpensive and effective, especially when used near lighted areas. For steelhead and coho, using lures like spinners, spoons, and flies that mimic small fish like herring can be effective[3]. Hot spots include the piers at Edmonds, Everett, and Point Defiance Park in Tacoma for squid. For steelhead and coho, the Snoqualmie and Skykomish rivers are good bets[3].

Today, the high tide in Seattle is at 10:44 AM with a height of 12.2 feet, and the low tide is at 4:20 PM with a height of 7.6 feet[4]. The weather is typical for this time of year, with sunrise at 7:49 AM and sunset at 4:22 PM. The days are short, but the fishing can be rewarding[1]. December is an excellent time for squid fishing in Puget Sound. Migrating adult squid are abundant and can be caught from various piers, including those from Port Angeles to Tacoma. Squid are most active at night and are attracted to light, so public piers are ideal spots. Incoming and high tides are the best times for squid jigging[3]. For other species, early-returning hatchery steelhead are starting to appear in rivers like the Snoqualmie and Skykomish. Big late-season or “B run” coho salmon are also present in North Puget Sound and southwest Washington rivers through December[3]. As for recent catches, while specific data for yesterday is not available, general trends indicate that coho, chum, and steelhead are active.

Here’s what you need to know: **Weather and Tides:** Today, you can expect temperatures around 44°F with significant rainfall, which is typical for this time of year in Seattle. The tide times for Olympia, Budd Inlet, are as follows: High tide at 3:45 AM with 12.91 ft, Low tide at 8:41 AM with 7.27 ft, High tide at 2:02 PM with 16.01 ft, and Low tide at 9:30 PM with -1.9 ft[2]. **Sunrise and Sunset:** Sunrise is at 7:49 AM, and sunset is at 4:22 PM. **Fish Activity:** December is a great time for squid fishing in Puget Sound, with peak activity usually occurring at night during or right at the flood tide change. You can catch squid using a trout-style rod and spinning reel with weighted pink, chartreuse, red, green, orange, or glow-in-the-dark jigs[1][4]. For steelhead, early-returning hatchery steelhead are starting to show up in Puget Sound rivers like the Snoqualmie and Skykomish. The lower parts of these rivers and coastal tributaries are good spots to try your luck. Side-drifting and trolling with flat-lined plugs can be effective[1][4]. **Hot Spots:** One of the best places to fish in the Puget Sound is Possession Point on the southern tip of Whidbey Island. This area offers fantastic fishing year-round due to its strategic location at the intersection of Admiralty Inlet, Possession Sound, and Central Puget Sound. It's a hotspot for salmon and other species, though be prepared for a rough boat ride[5]. Another good spot is the northern Puget Sound, particularly around Mutiny Bay and Admiralty Bay, which are known for their lingcod and other bottom fish. **Best Lures and Bait:** For squid, use the aforementioned weighted jigs in various colors. For steelhead, side-drifting with bait like eggs or using flat-lined plugs can be very effective. For salmon, try using lures that mimic their natural prey such as herring or small fish patterns. Overall, it's a good day to bundle up, check the tide times, and head out to catch some of the Puget Sound's winter fish offerings.

This indicates a strong presence of coho in the area. ### Best Lures and Bait For coho salmon, using lures like spinners, spoons, and flies in pink or orange can be very effective. Bait-wise, herring and anchovies are always good choices. If you're targeting Chinook, although they must be released, using larger lures like plugs or bait such as whole herring can attract them. ### Hot Spots Some hot spots to consider include the Point Defiance Public Ramp in the Tacoma-Vashon Island area, where coho fishing has been consistent. Another good spot is the Armeni Public Ramp in the Admiralty Inlet area, which has seen a mix of coho and other species. ### Additional Tips Make sure to check the latest regulations and emergency rule changes before you head out, as they can change frequently. The fall season is a great time to be out on the Puget Sound, with the cooler weather and changing tides making for ideal fishing conditions. If you're new to the area, consider getting a guide or charter to help navigate the complex regulations and optimal fishing spots. With the right gear and knowledge, you should have a productive and enjoyable day fishing in the Puget Sound.

Small spinners, jigs, and flies are recommended. In the rivers, coho can often be found in pods under cutbanks or large woody debris. Using bait such as herring or anchovies can also be productive, especially when trolling or mooching. ### Hot Spots - **Marine Area 8-2**: This area has been particularly good for non-selective coho fishing, with a 2-fish limit. The waters around Ports Susan and Gardner are known for their coho activity. - **Skagit River**: The Skagit River is expected to have a very good coho run this year. Anglers have been successful in catching coho here, especially as the waters cool and the fish begin their migration into freshwater. Overall, today looks like an excellent day to get out and catch some coho salmon in the Puget Sound area. Make sure to check the fishing regulations and any special rules or gear restrictions before you head out. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The tidal cycle shows a high tide at 9:14 AM and a low tide at 3:04 PM, which can significantly influence fish activity. Weather conditions are expected to be partly cloudy with a gentle breeze, making it a comfortable day for fishing. ### Fish Activity Yesterday saw a decent amount of fish activity, especially for coho salmon. In Marine Area 9, which includes Admiralty Inlet, anglers reported catching coho salmon, particularly as the run begins to pour over Possession Bar. The final week of the season here is non-selective for coho, which is a big plus for local anglers. ### Catch Reports From the creel reports, it's clear that coho salmon were the main catch. For example, at the Kingston Public Ramp in Area 9, anglers caught several coho salmon, with no reports of chinook or other species. ### Best Lures and Bait For targeting coho salmon in these waters, using lures such as spoons or plugs that mimic baitfish can be highly effective. The Silver Horde or Luhr-Jensen Krocodile spoons are good choices. Bait-wise, herring or anchovies are always popular and can attract a variety of salmon species. ### Hot Spots - **Marine Area 9 (Admiralty Inlet):** This area is known for its strong coho run, especially as the fish move over Possession Bar. The aligned chinook openers in July have spread out the effort, but September is prime time for coho. - **Marine Area 8-2:** This area is another hotspot for non-selective coho fishing, with a 2-fish limit. The waters around Ports Susan and Gardner have been producing good catches of coho salmon. Overall, with the favorable tidal and weather conditions, today should be a great day to get out on the water and try your luck at catching some of Puget Sound's vibrant coho salmon population.

The sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and the sunset will be at 6:47 PM. Tides are crucial for fishing here; today's high tide is at 9:15 AM, and the low tide is at 3:15 PM. These tidal shifts can significantly impact fish behavior and your chances of catching them. ### Fish Activity September is a prime month for fishing in Puget Sound, particularly for coho salmon. These feisty fall-run coho are thick in the Straits, Puget Sound, and coastal bays. Anglers have been reporting good catches of coho salmon in various rivers and bays, with many of these fish already moving into freshwater. ### Catch Reports From recent creel reports, it's clear that coho salmon are the main target. At ramps like the Kingston Public Ramp and the Armeni Public Ramp, anglers have been catching a decent number of coho, with some reports indicating up to 10 coho per day per angler. ### Best Lures and Bait For coho salmon, light tackle or fly fishing is highly effective. Small spinners, jigs, and flies are recommended, especially in areas with cutbanks or large woody debris where these fish tend to congregate. Hatchery coho can also be targeted using pink or orange lures, as these colors tend to attract them. ### Hot Spots If you're looking for some hot spots, consider the Skagit and Snohomish rivers in the North Sound, which are now open for coho fishing. The Hoh and Humptulips rivers in southwest Washington are also excellent choices for both Chinook and coho. For a more urban experience, Whatcom Creek in downtown Bellingham is open for hatchery Chinook fishing on Saturdays and Sundays through September 15. ### Additional Tips Remember to check the fishing regulations and any special gear restrictions to protect wild Chinook and other species. The Fish Washington mobile app is a great resource for staying updated on these rules. With the right gear, knowledge of the tides, and a bit of luck, you should have a productive and enjoyable day fishing in Puget Sound.

Here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip: **Weather Conditions:** The temperature is expected to be around 58°F (14°C) with a gentle breeze of about 5 mph. There is a slight chance of light precipitation, so it's a good idea to pack a light rain jacket. **Water Conditions:** The water level in Puget Sound is at its normal tidal range, with water temperatures hovering around 55°F (13°C). The water clarity is good, making it an ideal day for spotting fish. **Best Fishing Spots:** For today, some of the best spots include the Shilshole Public Ramp in the Seattle-Bremerton area, Camano Island State Park Public Ramp in Admiralty Inlet, and the Arcadia Ramp in South Puget Sound. These areas have been reporting good catches of coho salmon and sea-run cutthroat trout. **Bait and Tackle Recommendations:** For coho salmon, use lures like spoons or spinners in shades of pink and silver. These fish are active in the upper water columns, so keep your lines at depths of around 10-20 feet. Local anglers recommend small to medium-sized spoons, such as the Luhr-Jensen Krocodile or Blue Fox Vibrax, in silver or copper finishes. For sea-run cutthroat trout, small spinners, jigs, or flies like the Clouser Minnow or a simple streamer pattern work well. **Fish Activity:** Coho salmon are particularly active during the fall season, feeding on baitfish and krill. They tend to be more aggressive in the morning and late afternoon. Sea-run cutthroat trout become more active as the waters cool, making them a great target for light tackle or fly fishing. **Local Events and Regulations:** September is a busy month for outdoor activities in Washington. Be aware that the fall salmon fisheries are underway, and there may be specific catch limits and regulations in place. Check the latest guidelines and quotas on the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife website before you head out. For example, the Buoy 10 fishery recently allowed the keeping of Chinook salmon from September 12 through September 22, but such windows can close quickly based on quota limits. **Tips from Local Anglers:** Local guides suggest that the best times for fishing today are early morning and late afternoon when the fish are most active. Keep an eye on the tidal changes, as the high slack tide often brings excellent fishing opportunities. With the right gear, knowledge of the best spots, and an understanding of the fish activity, you're set for a successful and enjoyable day of fishing in Puget Sound. So grab your rods, reels, and tackle, and make the most of this crisp autumn morning. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.
