Puget Sound Spring Bite: Chinook, Coho, and Pink Salmon Running Hot This April Morning
Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your Puget Sound fishing guru, comin' at ya from the misty shores on April 21, 2026, at 3 AM. Dawn's breakin' soon, and the Sound's callin'—perfect time for early birds to wet a line.
Tides today? Low at 2:18 AM risin' to 8:43 AM high around 3.5 feet, then droppin' to 2:42 PM low, and evenin' high at 8:47 PM. Slack water's your friend for chinook—fish the flood tide hard. Weather's classic spring: partly cloudy, highs near 55°F, light southerlies 5-10 knots, no rain in sight per local forecasts. Sunrise 6:15 AM, sunset 8:05 PM—prime solunar bites at dawn and dusk.
Fish are active, man! Recent reports from WDFW and angler forums show limits of coho and pinks in the central Sound, with blackmouth chinook pushin' 10-20 lbs hittin' heavy. Coho schools off Possession Bar averaged 5-8 fish per boat last weekend, and rockfish are stackin' up deep. Cutthroat and perch hammerin' shallows too.
Best lures? Buzz 'em with silver Coyote spoons or green/yellow hoochies behind flashers—proven killers per charter logs. Twitch a 3-inch white grub on a jighead for perch. Live bait? Herring strips or shrimp on a Gamakatsu circle hook can't be beat for salmon.
Hot spots: Hit Point No Point for incoming tides—drift mooch for kings. Or slide into Elliott Bay near the Seattle docks for urban coho action.
Rig up, stay safe, and get after 'em!
