Spring Chinook and Coho Action Heats Up Around Bainbridge Island
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things Puget Sound angling, comin' at ya from right here in Seattle on this crisp spring mornin'. Tides today around Bainbridge Island show low at 4:37 AM hittin' 0.59 feet, high at 12:37 PM pushin' 10.66 feet, then low again at 7:44 PM at 7.32 feet, and nighttime high at 10:35 PM reachin' 7.48 feet—Fishing Reminder's got the full chart, perfect for targetin' those swings. Sunrise kicked off at 7:08 AM, sunset's 7:26 PM, with major bite windows from 6:30-8:30 AM and 6:41-8:41 PM, plus minors at 2:07-4:07 PM and 11:15 PM-1:15 AM. First quarter moon's got the fish stirrin' early.
Weather's holdin' steady—mild temps in the 50s, light winds off the Sound, no big rains messin' things up, makin' it prime for gettin' out there. Fish activity's pickin' up with spring vibes; WDFW's North of Falcon meetin' yesterday flagged a Chinook season lookin' like last year's solid runs, though wild coho might be tight in marine areas due to low river returns on spots like Stillaguamish and Snohomish. Still, resident coho and kings are showin', with Ridge to River Outdoors notin' aggressive coho action buildin' toward summer. Recent catches? Folks pullin' shaker Chinook and small coho near wharfs, plus some resident rockfish if you're deep—NOAA's highlightin' 'em in the Salish Sea, but use recompression devices to keep it sustainable.
For lures, go with hoochies on a 20-24 oz setup for that wobble—pair 'em with anchovy or herring strips on size 1 octopus hooks or size 4 trebles for coho and kings. Live bait like herring or even squid strips shine on the troll. Jigs bouncin' bottom near reefs get rockfish fired up.
Hot spots? Hit Winslow Wharf or Chandlery on Bainbridge for easy access and night bites—wharfs are lit and baitfish swarm. Or try Fletcher Bay or Shilshole Bay for beach casters, where tides rip and structures hold fish.
Get out there safe, check regs, and tight lines!
