Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to Puget Sound fishing guru, comin' at ya from the misty docks on this crisp March 16th mornin'. Sunrise hit at 7:19 AM, sunset's lockin' in at 7:17 PM, givin' us a solid 12 hours of daylight to chase the bite[Tides4Fishing].
Tides today are prime: low at 10:42 AM (5.6 ft), high swingin' to 3:46 PM (9.5 ft), then droppin' to 10:16 PM (0.4 ft)—fish the incomin' flood around noon for best action, as solunar's rated high at 77%[Tides4Fishing]. Weather's coolin' off with spotty rain and darker skies, temps in the 40s—bundle up, but those overcast conditions are stirrin' the bottomfeeders[Fox13Seattle].
Fish activity's pickin' up post-winter lull. Reports from Gone Fishing Northwest note Chinook salmon showin' early in Lake Washington, spillin' into south Sound, with pink salmon hoochies pullin' 'em last week[GoneFishingNW]. Limits on Dungeness crab too, usin' premium bait like herring or squid[TwinJCharters]. Anglers haulin' in rockfish, flounders, and lingcod—20-30 fish days common on recent charters.
Top lures? Hoochie Buzz Bombs rigged with corn or prawn for pinks and Chinook; buzz bombs trollin' 20-40 ft. Best bait: herring chunks or emerald shiners for bottom bouncin', crab pots loaded with chicken legs or fish heads[GoneFishingNW][TwinJCharters].
Hot spots: Hit Possession Sound near Glendale for incoming tide rips—lingcod and rockfish stack up there[NOAA Tides]. Or slide into Kitsap County waters for crab and flounder; major bite windows 7-9 AM and 8-10 PM today[TidesChart].
Get out there safe, check regs, and tight lines!
