Puget Sound Sunday: Prime Tides, Chilly Waters, and Hot Crab Action
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for all things Puget Sound angling. It's a drizzly Sunday morning in the Sound, temps hovering around 49-53°F with light southerly winds at 5-10 knots easing off, per the latest marine forecast from NOAA. FOX13 Seattle says we got a soggy Saturday but some relief today—perfect for bundling up and hitting the water. Sunrise kicked off at 7:07 AM, sunset's at 4:39 PM, giving us about 9.5 hours of light. Water's a chilly 49°F, so fish are active but picky.
Tides today in Puget Sound are prime: low at around 12:38 AM (-2.43 ft), high 8:25 AM (10.99 ft), low 1:43 PM (7.25 ft), and high 5:51 PM (9.02 ft), according to TidesChart. Fish the incoming around that morning high and outgoing afternoon low—currents will stir up baitfish.
Action's heating up! Seattle Fishing Company reports late-season Dungeness crabbing wide open in many Puget Sound spots through December, with crisp air making for solid pots. River systems nearby are pushing big Chinook, Chum, and Coho salmon, spilling into the Sound edges. Anglers at piers like Les Davis in Tacoma are pulling crab and bottom dwellers overnight—pier's 24/7 with restrooms and parking, though it fills quick. Recent catches include Dungeness, plus smallmouth bass hits around Whidbey and Anacortes lakes feeding into the Sound.
For lures, grab Steelhead Slammer Spinners, Yakima Bait Mag Lip 3.5 plugs, or Blue Fox Vibrax spinners—they're top sellers for salmon and steelhead per Seattle Fishing Co. Live herring or shrimp for bait works killer on Chinook; squid strips for bottom fish.
Hot spots: Hit Glendale Beach on Whidbey Island's southeast shore—quiet beach access for casting. Or Les Davis Public Fishing Pier in Tacoma for easy pier action and views. Bundle for rain, check WDFW regs, and stay safe out there.
