Late Winter Puget Sound Hot Bite: Cutthroat and Coho Movin on Morning Highs
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to Puget Sound fishing guru, comin' at ya live from the salty shores around Seattle on this crisp early March mornin'. Weather's classic late winter—light rain showers with temps hoverin' around 51°F, winds gustin' up to 30 mph from the southwest, and that Puget humidity at 83%. Water temp's sittin' steady at 54°F, perfect for gettin' the blood pumpin'. Sunrise was at 7:49 AM, sunset 5:58 PM, givin' us a solid 10 hours of daylight to chase 'em.
Tides are movin' nice today per Tideschart.com for Elliott Bay—low at 4:35 AM around 0.6 ft, high at noon pushin' 10+ ft, then droppin' to evening lows. Fish the incoming highs, especially mornin' and evenin', when cutthroat trout and coho are keyin' in on the push, as noted in recent Spreaker reports from late winter action.
Action's been hot on cutthroat and coho lately, with anglers pullin' limits on the morning highs—schools of 10-15 fishers reportin' steady grabs near drop-offs. Pink salmon hoochie jigs from Gone Fishing Northwest are killin' it for pinks, and Ventures Fly Co. setups with pink flies are nailin' salmon on fly gear. Best lures right now? Pink hoochie jigs rigged tight, small spinners, or coyote spoons in chartreuse. Live bait? Sand shrimp or herring chunks on a single hook—can't beat naturals for picky coho.
Hit these hot spots: Possession Bar in north Sound for cutthroat on the tide rips, or Hood Canal near Hoodsport where tides swing big and coho stack up. Launch early, bundle up, and stay safe out there.
