Puget Sound Fire: 98% Solunar Activity, Prime Tides, and Hot Rockfish Action This Saturday
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things Puget Sound angling. We're talkin' Saturday, March 21st, 2026, and the Sound's lookin' prime for a solid day on the water. Sunrise hits at 7:09 AM, sunset around 7:25 PM per Tides4Fishing charts, givin' us a long window of daylight.
Tides today are killer—very high solunar activity at 98%, rated top-tier for fish feedin'. Low at 12:53 AM (3.6 ft), high 6:46 AM (12.0 ft), super low 1:25 PM (-0.5 ft), and high again 8:00 PM (11.0 ft). Fish the outgoing around that afternoon minus tide for rockfish and bottom dwellers; incoming flood mornin' high pulls 'em shallow.
Weather's mild, expectin' temps 49-57°F, light winds 6 mph with gusts to 12, low cloud cover at 5%, humidity 76%—straight from Tideschart.com Puget Sound reports. Water's sittin' comfy at 49°F, perfect for early spring action.
Fishin's been hot lately. Anglers report steady rock sole madness in Marine Area 11, per recent YouTube hauls from The Piscatorian. Salmon's windin' up too—chinook and coho showin' in South Central Puget Sound Basin and Whidbey areas, accordin' to Ridge to River Outdoors guides. Limits on bottomfish like lingcod and blacks makin' rounds, with pink salmon rigs still pullin' stragglers from late runs via Gone Fishing NW tips.
Best lures? Dick Nite spoons or custom sockeye dodgers for salmon driftin'—they flash erratic in the current. Buzz Bombs or herring rigs for rockfish. Live bait? Anchovies or herring chunks on the bottom; crab chunks if you're mixin' it up.
Hit these hot spots: Point Defiance in South Puget Sound for mixed bags, or Hood Canal drop-offs for lings—tides align perfect today.
