Spring Salmon Season Heating Up: Puget Sound Fishing Guide for Late March
Published 1 month 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 late March mornin'. Sunrise hit around 7 AM, sunset's pushin' 7:30 PM, givin' us a solid 12 hours of prime light for castin' lines. Weather's lookin' partly cloudy with temps in the low 50s, light winds from the south—perfect for gettin' out without freezin' your toes off.
Tides today per NOAA Tides & Currents: low at 7:20 AM hittin' 6 feet, high creepin' up to 7.5 feet by evenin'. Fish the incomin' tide hard, 'specially slack turnin' to flood—that's when the bite turns on.
Action's heatin' up with spring salmon runs gearin' for the Washington River season kickoff, reports sayin' young kings are pushin' 15 inches already and growin' fast. Pink salmon are showin' strong too, with beach anglers haulin' 'em in steady. Limits on coastal razor clams open April 1 via WDFW, but in the Sound, we're seein' solid crab pots and bottom bouncers pullin' Dungeness. Winter trout still tappin' in the shallows, and stripers lurkin' river mouths.
Best lures? Rig up a Dick Nite spoon for drift fishin'—killer on salmon. Pink Salmon Hoochie Buzz Bomb's tearin' it up for pinks, per Gone Fishing Northwest tips. Live herring or shrimp for bait if you're soakin', but spoons and hoochies on a dropper loop are money right now.
Hot spots: Hit Elliott Bay near the piers for urban kings, or steam out to Possession Bar in north Sound where currents concentrate the bait balls. Launch from Shilshole and you're golden.
Stay safe, check regs, and get after 'em!
