Description
# Puget Sound Fishing Report – January 21st
Hey everyone, this is Artificial Lure with your Wednesday morning fishing report for Puget Sound and the Seattle area.
**Tidal Conditions**
We've got a decent tide window working for us today. High tide hit at 7:39 AM at 14.69 feet, and we're looking at a low tide around 1:36 PM at 6.23 feet. Another high tide will push through around 6:26 PM at 11.62 feet. Those morning and evening highs should give you solid fishing windows, especially if you're targeting structure.
**Weather & Light**
Sunrise was at 7:48 this morning, and sunset hits at 4:56 PM, so we've got about nine hours of daylight. Nothing crazy weather-wise – Northeast winds around 5 knots with seas running 4 to 5 feet. Pretty manageable for most anglers willing to get out there.
**Fish Activity & Recent Catches**
Coho salmon fishing in Marine Area 9 around Admiralty Inlet typically fires up in August and September, but don't sleep on winter opportunities. Pink salmon catch rates peak in early August, but we're also seeing consistent lingcod action this season around Possession Bar – that fishery's been on fire. Live sand dabs are your go-to for lingcod, though artificial swim baits and jigs work too.
For rockfish, look for those rock piles in water under 100 feet – they're thick out there and some of the easiest angling you'll find. Possession Bar remains your primary destination in Marine Area 9 for lingcod, but venture north up Admiralty Inlet and you'll find plenty of rocky structure near the bays and points worth exploring.
**Lures & Bait**
Downriggers are the standard setup for salmon work out here. For bottom fishing, live sand dabs are crushing it for lingcod. Rockfish? They'll smash most anything you throw at them near structure.
**Hot Spots**
Hit Possession Bar if you want proven lingcod ground, or head up into Admiralty Inlet and work Foulweather Bluff down through Point No Point – Marine Area 9 has some of the best fishing Puget Sound offers.
