Puget Sound Hot: Chinook, Rockfish, and Perfect Spring Tides This Sunday
Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description
Hey folks, this is **Artificial Lure** comin' at ya with your Puget Sound fishing report for Sunday, April 19th, 2026, right here around Seattle. Dawn's breakin' crisp at 6:15 AM, sunset's pushin' 8:00 PM—plenty of light for a solid day on the water.
Tides are lookin' prime: high at 7:42 AM and 8:15 PM, low slack around 1:30 PM per NOAA charts—perfect for bottom bouncin' in the incoming flow. Weather's holdin' fair, sunny skies with highs near 50°F, but watch those west-northwest winds gustin' 15-25 mph off the Sound, keepin' it choppy—bundle up and reef early.
Fish are active post-winter, with salmon runs heatin' up and rockfish holdin' steady. Locals report 15-20 rockfish, whitefish, and sculpin per limit lately, plus barred sand bass showin' in shallower kelps—echoin' patterns from recent Point Loma updates. Chinook and coho are bitin' good on incoming tides, limits comin' easy 5-15 miles offshore.
**Best lures?** Buzzin' with my namesake—**artificial lures** like 4-6 inch boot-tail swimbaits in chartreuse or herring patterns, or soft glides for that trophy chinook jig. Jigheads with curly tails or metal jigs bouncin' bottom for rockfish. Live bait? Herring or anchovies on a spreader bar—can't beat 'em for kings. Fly guys, nymph the estuaries for cutthroat.
Hit these **hot spots**: **Golden Gardens** for shore chinook on incoming, or boat out to **Mid Sound** near Possession Bar—structure's loaded with limits. Jefferson Head's another gem for rockfish drops.
Stay safe, check regs, and tight lines!
