  • If you're planning to hit the waters of Puget Sound today, December 28, 2024, here's what you need to know:

    ### Tidal Report
    Today's tide times for Olympia, Budd Inlet, are as follows: High tide at 5:36 AM with a height of 14.46 feet, low tide at 10:36 AM with a height of 9.5 feet, high tide again at 2:35 PM with a height of 13.56 feet, and finally a low tide at 10:13 PM with a height of -1.32 feet[2].

    ### Weather
    December in Puget Sound is typically chilly and wet, so make sure to dress warmly and bring your rain gear. Check the latest forecast for any updates, but expect cool and possibly rainy conditions[3].

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at 7:57 AM, and sunset will be at 4:29 PM[2].

    ### Fish Activity
    December is an excellent time for fishing in Puget Sound. Anglers have been catching a good number of coho and chum salmon, as well as some sea-run cutthroat. The "B run" coho are still returning through the area[1].

    ### Recent Catches
    Yesterday, anglers in South Puget Sound reported catching coho and chum salmon. For example, at Perry Creek, anglers caught 3 coho and 3 chum salmon[3].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For winter blackmouth (Chinook salmon), areas like Manchester inlet are reliable. Using lures that mimic baitfish, such as spoons or plugs that imitate herring or anchovies, can be very effective. For coho and chum salmon, using bait that mimics their natural prey can also yield good results[3].

    ### Hot Spots
    Manchester inlet is a good spot for winter blackmouth, and Perry Creek has been productive for coho and chum salmon. Additionally, areas around Budd Inlet and other parts of South Puget Sound are worth exploring for sea-run cutthroat and other salmon species[1][3].

    Make sure to check the latest fishing regulations and weather forecast before you head out, and don't forget to bring all your necessary gear. Good luck on the water
