Puget Sound Fishing Report: Chilly Temps, Blackmouth on the Rise, Crabbing Strong
Published 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for this crisp December morning. Sun's up around 7:07 AM and sets at 4:39 PM, giving us about 9.5 hours of light. Weather's holding steady at 53°F air temp, water sitting at 49°F—chilly but fishable if you bundle up.
Tides today: Low at midnight around -0.75 ft in spots like Edmonds, high pushing 10.6 ft by 7:25 AM, then low 6.63 ft at 12:46 PM and high 9.78 ft at 5:48 PM. Best bites line up with major windows 6:54-8:54 AM and evening lunar transits—hit those moving tides hard.
Fish action's slowing post-fall runs, but blackmouth are on the rise after waning coho and chum, per recent Puget Sound Seattle Fishing Report updates. NW Sportsman Mag notes Dungeness crabbers in Eastern Straits, San Juans, and Admiralty Inlet wrapping strong 2025 hauls—surveys dropping soon. Salmon forecasts hint at big pink returns next year, but right now, target resident cutthroat and bottom dwellers. Limits are modest, few salmon reported lately, more crab and rockfish action.
Gear up with pink salmon jigs or rasticle sockeye lures from Gone Fishing NW tips—they jig well in current. Live herring or squid strips for bait on spreads; artificials like small spoons shine in clear water.
Hot spots: Browns Bay near Edmonds for shore jigging, and Gig Harbor marinas—seals splashing, easy access, fresh bites.
Rig tight, watch for winter steelhead openers soon. Thanks for tuning in—subscribe for daily updates! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
