Published 4 months ago
Description
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to Puget Sound fishing guru, comin' at ya from the misty docks on this crisp Friday mornin', December 26th at 8:24 AM. Skies are overcast with SW winds at 5-10 knots daytime, easin' to 5 knots tonight per the PNW BestLife marine forecast—rain likely, waves 1 foot or less, perfect for bundlin' up and hittin' the water. Sunrise was around 8 AM, sunset by 4:25 PM like Tides4Fishing charts for Seattle show, givin' ya a solid 8-hour window.
Tides today in central Sound like Tacoma area: low at 2:02 AM hittin' 1.25 feet, high 9:23 AM at 10.47 feet, low again 3:56 PM, per Tideschart.com—fish the incoming flood hard, that's when bait moves and fish feed aggressive.
Fish activity's pickin' up post-holidays! Blackmouth season's buzzin' according to The Guide's Forecast on Dec 23—those feisty immature Chinook are schooled up, with recent creel reports from PNW BestLife showin' solid catches in Marine Area 11: mostly kings 10-20 pounds, some coho mixin' in, and perch by the dozens if ya drop rigs. Numbers ain't peak summer yet, but sonar's markin' 'em suspended 90-120 feet deep—folks are hookin' 2-5 per trip lately.
Best lures? Big profile hoochies in chartreuse or glow, trolled slow 2.5-3 knots, or jig vertically with heavy jigs—jiggers are outfishin' everybody right now, says PNW BestLife. Bait-wise, herring chunks or whole herring on spreads work killers for staging kings; live shrimp for perch if ya switch it up.
Hot spots today: Clay Banks on the ebb—troll SE to NW off the NW tip. And Point Dalco on the flood, north toward Girl Scout Camp—kings pushin' through there heavy.
Bundle up against that chill rain, check WDFW regs, and stay safe out there.
