Crisp Winter Fishing in Puget Sound - Blackmouth Salmon, Crabbing, and the Best Lures and Spots
Published 4 months ago
Description
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for this crisp winter morning. Temps are chilly around 40 degrees with partly cloudy skies and light winds from the south—perfect for bundling up and hitting the water, per local forecasts. Sunrise was at 7:34 AM, sunset around 4:20 PM, giving us a short day but prime low-light bites.
Tides today in Seattle show a low at 4:46 AM around 2.7 feet, high at 11:48 AM hitting 11.9 feet, then dropping to 3.5 feet by 6:42 PM—fish the incoming and slack for best action, says Tides4Fishing charts. Solunar peaks from 6-8 AM and 7-9 PM make now through evening hot.
Blackmouth salmon are on the rise despite stormy spells, with coho mixing in strong—recent reports from mid-December note limits off Seattle and solid catches in the Sound. Crabbing's firing too, pots filling fast. Anglers pulled strings of 8-15 pound chinook last week.
Go with glow-in-the-dark lures like Simon Dodgers in blue goo for deep winter kings—they charge up great for low light, per tackle pros. Live herring or candlefish on downriggers at 60-120 feet, or metal jigs for versatility. Avoid bait in rough spots; stick to artificials.
Hot spots: Jefferson Head for blackmouth trolling, and Possession Bar near Bainbridge for mixed bags—watch ferry winter schedules with some cuts for low tides.
Bundle up, check your gear before the dock, and tight lines!
