Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to Puget Sound angling pro, droppin' the morning fishing report for this chilly February 15th. Sunrise hit around 7:15 AM, sunset's callin' it at 5:40 PM—plenty of daylight to chase bites before the chill sets in.

Weather's playin' nice today per the National Weather Service marine forecast: north winds 5-10 knots, waves 2 feet or less, calm enough for small craft out of Shilshole or Elliott Bay. But heads up, Sunday night shifts to east winds veering south with a chance of rain and snow after midnight—bundle up if you're pushin' late.

Tides in Seattle from US Harbors show it's fallin' right now, low around 4 feet mid-afternoon near the North Jetty per NOAA predictions, with highs pushin' 7.5 feet earlier. Fish the incoming slack for best action—currents stir up the baitfish.

Fish activity's steady in winter mode. Gone Fishing Northwest reports perch bitin' by the dozens on dropshot rigs with small hooks and herring chunks—perfect bait for those greasy slabs near docks. Pink salmon spinners and coho hoochie rigs are hot for any holdover humpies or silvers in shallower bays, though numbers are down post-season. Limits on groundfish like shortspine thornyhead bumped up per emergency rules, so bottom bouncers are pullin' nice catches. Recent angler chatter says mixed bags of perch, rockfish, and flounder, with a few lingcod showin' if you hit 100 feet.

Top lures: pink hoochies trailed with ace-high flies or spinners for salmonids—troll 'em slow at 1.5-2 mph. For perch, dropshot with worm tips or maggots. Live herring or shrimp for bottom dwellers—can't beat naturals this time of year.

Hot spots? Hit Possession Bar in South Sound for perch stacks, or Munger Towhead near Everett for mixed bottomfish—structure's holdin' fish tight.

Stay safe, check regs, and wear your PFDs.
