Puget Sound Fishing Report: Cutthroat, Perch, and Crab Action on the Wet Winter Tide
Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to Puget Sound fishing guru, comin' at ya from the salty shores on this drizzly February 7th mornin'. Sunrise hit around 7:20 AM, sunset's callin' it at 5:30 PM—plenty of daylight to chase bites before the rain kicks in heavy.
National Weather Service says south winds 10-15 knots today in Puget Sound and Hood Canal, waves 2 feet or less, with rain all day and a Small Craft Advisory till 4 PM. Dress warm, that chill's sneakin' in with the wet. Tides in Seattle per NOAA show low at 1:14 AM (2.23 ft), high 7:50 AM (12.18 ft), low 2:22 PM, high 8:17 PM—fish the incoming around mid-mornin' when currents stir the bottom dwellers.
Fishin's been steady despite the winter grey. Emerald Water Anglers reports sea-run cutthroat trout active from beaches and boats, hittin' swung flies like nobody's business. Locals pulled dozens of perch last week usin' hook-on dropper dropshot rigs with worms or shrimp, per Gone Fishing Northwest tips. Smaller salmon schools showin', but crab's hot—Puget Sound Dungeness pots fillin' quick with herring bait. Cutthroat numbers up near 20-30 per outing, perch by the bucket if you drop deep.
Best lures? Clousers or woolly buggers on fly gear for cutthroat—swing 'em Spey-style. For perch and bottom feeders, try small jigs or dropshots tipped with maggots. Live bait shines: shrimp or herring chunks on a sliding sinker rig for everything from rockfish to flounders.
Hot spots today: Hit Possession Bar in Admiralty Inlet for cutthroat on the tide change, or drop lines off Alki Beach for perch—easy access, fish stacked. Stay safe out there, check your regs.
