  • Puget Sound Fishing Forecast: Tides, Weather, and Hotspots for a Promising Day on the Water

    Puget Sound Fishing Forecast: Tides, Weather, and Hotspots for a Promising Day on the Water
    Jan 9 2025
    As of today, January 9, 2025, fishing in Puget Sound is shaping up to be an interesting day, especially with the tidal conditions.

    First, let's look at the tides. According to the tide forecast, today's high tides in the Seattle area are at 1:53 AM and 11:38 AM, with heights of 9.6 feet and 11.92 feet, respectively. The low tides are at 6:03 AM and 7:22 PM, with heights of 7.65 feet and -1.04 feet, respectively. These tidal shifts can significantly impact fish activity, especially for species like salmon and sea-run cutthroat trout[4].

    The weather is expected to be cool and possibly rainy, which is typical for this time of year. Sunrise is at 7:55 AM, and sunset is at 4:37 PM, giving you a decent window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips.

    Fish activity has been moderate in recent days. Based on creel reports, there hasn't been a significant catch of Chinook, Coho, Chum, Pink, or Sockeye salmon in the areas around Gig Harbor and other parts of South Puget Sound. However, this doesn't mean the fish aren't there; it might just be a slower period[1].

    For those targeting sea-run cutthroat trout, winter and spring are peak times in the southern parts of the Sound. These fish can be caught using medium-weight rods with 15 lb test line. Effective lures include jigs and float fishing with herring, which are also good for salmon[3].

    If you're looking for hot spots, Deception Pass is highly recommended for its high concentration of salmon in a small area. The north Whidbey Island beaches are also excellent for catching stunning cutthroat and bull trout. Another great spot is Possession Point, which offers fantastic fishing year-round due to its strategic location at the intersection of several migration routes[3].

    Given the current conditions, it might be a good idea to focus on areas less affected by the recent king tides, which could have stirred up the waters and made fishing more challenging. However, these tides also bring in fresh fish, so it's worth the effort to find the right spots[2].

    Overall, while the catch reports might not be spectacular, the right combination of tides, lures, and bait can still yield a successful fishing trip in Puget Sound today.

  • Puget Sound's Promising Fishing Forecast: Targeting Winter Blackmouth and Resident Coho

    Puget Sound's Promising Fishing Forecast: Targeting Winter Blackmouth and Resident Coho
    Jan 5 2025
    For January 5, 2025, the fishing scene in Puget Sound is looking promising, especially with the current tidal and weather conditions. Today, the tides are significant, with a high tide expected around 6:28 AM at 12.3 feet, a low tide at 11:40 AM at 8.7 feet, another high tide at 3:58 PM at 10.5 feet, and a low tide at 11:13 PM at -2.5 feet. These tidal changes create excellent moving water conditions, ideal for finding active fish.

    The sun rose in Seattle at 7:57 AM and will set at 4:29 PM, giving us about 8 hours and 32 minutes of daylight. The tidal coefficient is high, indicating major currents and movements on the sea bed, but be sure to check the weather forecast as well.

    In terms of fish activity, this time of year is great for targeting Winter Blackmouth Chinook Salmon, also known as immature Chinook that haven't yet migrated to the open ocean. These fish are abundant in Puget Sound and can be caught year-round. Coho Salmon, or Resident Silvers, are also present throughout the year.

    For the best results, use lures like Grand Slam Bucktails, particularly the 3-inch Mini, which are effective when the local bait is smaller. Trolling with Pro-Troll Flashers, especially the 11-inch flasher in green/glow, red/glow, or purple haze patterns, can also attract Chinook Salmon. Silver Horde Kingfisher Spoons are versatile and work well for both Winter Blackmouth and summer Chinook.

    As for bait, mooching with a herring or using metal jigs like the Puget Pounder Jig can be very effective, especially in the southern areas near Vashon Island, Tacoma, and Gig Harbor.

    Hot spots include Possession Point at the southern tip of Whidbey Island, which offers fantastic fishing all year round due to its access to Possession Bar and the intersection of migration routes. Another great spot is Deception Pass, known for its high concentration of Salmon in a small area.

    Yesterday's catches were mostly Winter Blackmouth Chinook and some Resident Coho, with anglers reporting decent numbers despite the winter season. With the right gear and knowledge of the tides, you're in for a great day of fishing in Puget Sound.

  • Puget Sound Fishing Forecast: Ideal Conditions for Coho Salmon and Sea-run Cutthroat Trout

    Puget Sound Fishing Forecast: Ideal Conditions for Coho Salmon and Sea-run Cutthroat Trout
    Jan 4 2025
    For January 4, 2025, the fishing scene in Puget Sound is looking quite promising, especially with the current tidal and weather conditions.

    ### Tidal Report
    Today, we're experiencing king tides, which are the highest tides of the year. In South Puget Sound, the high tide is expected at around 9:17 AM with a height of 16.5 feet. This significant tidal change creates excellent moving water conditions, ideal for finding active fish. The low tide will be later in the day, but the high tidal coefficient of 76 indicates strong tidal movements, which can stir up fish activity[2][5].

    ### Weather
    The weather forecast for today shows partly cloudy skies with a mild temperature, making it a comfortable day for fishing. However, it's important to note that king tides can coincide with high levels of precipitation, potentially causing flooding and property damage, so keep an eye on the weather updates[2].

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at 7:57 AM, and sunset will be at 4:33 PM, giving you a good window of daylight to get out on the water.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a lot of activity from sea-run Cutthroat Trout and Coho Salmon. The tidal changes and moving water made it an ideal day for these species to be active. Fishermen reported catching a decent number of Coho Salmon, particularly around the north Whidbey Island beaches and at Possession Point[1][4].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For catching Coho Salmon, using jigs or float fishing with herring has been very effective. For sea-run Cutthroat Trout, fly fishing with patterns that mimic their natural prey can be highly successful. Medium-weight rods with 15 lb test line are recommended for tackling these fish[4].

    ### Hot Spots
    If you're looking for some of the best spots, consider heading to Possession Point at the southern tip of Whidbey Island. This area is known for its fantastic fishing all year round due to its strategic location where several migration routes intersect. Another great spot is Deception Pass, which is renowned for its high concentration of Salmon in a small area[4].

    Overall, today's conditions are ripe for a great fishing day in Puget Sound. Just be mindful of the king tides and any potential weather changes.
