  • Catching Spring Chinook in Puget Sound's Hotspots on April 14, 2025

    Catching Spring Chinook in Puget Sound's Hotspots on April 14, 2025
    Apr 14 2025
    The Puget Sound fishing scene today, April 14, 2025, offers promising opportunities for anglers targeting Chinook salmon, particularly in Marine Areas 10 (Seattle-Bremerton) and 11 (Tacoma-Vashon). The weather is cooperative with partly cloudy skies and temperatures rising from a crisp 47°F in the morning to mid-50s by the afternoon. Sunrise was at 6:39 AM, and sunset will be at 7:39 PM, providing plenty of daylight for action on the water. The tides are crucial today; focus on the outgoing tide at hotspots like Jeff Head and Kingston’s inner bowl in Marine Area 10, as well as Point Defiance’s Slag Pile and Clay Banks in Area 11. During the incoming tide, President’s Point in Area 10 and Dalco Point in Area 11 are excellent bets.

    The Chinook fishery, which opened April 2, has been producing well. Anglers are seeing good numbers of legal-sized Chinook over the 22-inch limit for hatchery-marked fish. These spring Blackmouth are biting best close to the bottom in depths of 90-200 feet. Be prepared to troll deep and use gear that stays within 10 feet of the seabed.

    Effective lures for Chinook today include:
    - Silver Horde Kingfisher spoons in patterns like "Cookies and Cream" and "Irish Cream."
    - Tomic Plugs (#602 or #603) with a setback of 30-40 feet behind the downrigger clip.
    - Gold Star 3.5 Octopus Squid in colors like Green Dot and Purple Haze, rigged with flashers.
    If you’re mooching or jigging, brined herring and Puget Pounder Jigs are excellent for consistent results. UV and glow lures are also effective, particularly in deeper, low-light conditions.

    Recent reports indicate Marine Area 10’s Jeff Head and Kingston areas have been producing well during tidal transitions. In Marine Area 11, Point Defiance’s Slag Pile and Dalco Point are solid choices. For those without downriggers, mooching with bait like Red Label Herring remains a solid option.

    With manageable weather, optimal tidal changes, and a healthy Chinook salmon run in progress, today is shaping up to be a stellar day for fishing in Puget Sound. Check regulations to stay updated on quotas and emergency closures. Tight lines!

  • Puget Sound Spring Fishing Report April 13 2025 - Chinook, Halibut & Hot Spots

    Puget Sound Spring Fishing Report April 13 2025 - Chinook, Halibut & Hot Spots
    Apr 13 2025
    April 13, 2025

    Good morning, anglers! It’s shaping up to be another fantastic spring day for fishing in Puget Sound. Let’s dive into today’s report, covering the latest conditions, catches, and tips for making the most of your day on the water.

    **Weather and Conditions:**
    Expect calm waters with partly cloudy skies and temperatures starting at 47°F in the morning and climbing to the mid-50s by the afternoon. Sunrise was at 6:37 AM, with sunset at 7:41 PM, leaving plenty of daylight for a full day of fishing. Tidal movements are critical today: focus on the outgoing tide at Jeff Head or Kingston’s inner bowl, and switch to the incoming tide near President’s Point or Kingston’s outer bar in Marine Area 10. In Marine Area 11, target the Slag Pile or Dalco Point on the Vashon side during tide shifts.

    **Current Fishing Activity:**
    Chinook salmon fishing is the primary draw right now, with the early spring season in full swing. Marine Areas 10 and 11 have been producing solid numbers of legal-sized Chinook, many over the 22-inch minimum. Anglers are enjoying an uptick in catches of hatchery-marked fish, as the season started off well on April 2. For halibut enthusiasts, fishing has also been open since April 3 in designated areas, with anglers reporting some success in deeper waters.

    **Hot Spots to Hit Today:**
    1. **Marine Area 10:** Jeff Head and Kingston are consistently productive. Stick to the south side of Jeff Head on an outgoing tide and President’s Point during the incoming tide.
    2. **Marine Area 11:** The Clay Banks, Slag Pile, and Dalco Point remain top spots. Focus on depths of 90 to 150 feet to stay in the Chinook action.

    **Gear and Techniques:**
    Trolling remains the most effective method for Chinook. Use gear set 90-200 feet deep, staying within 10 feet of the bottom. Successful setups include:
    - Silver Horde Kingfisher spoons in "Cookies and Cream" or "Irish Cream."
    - Tomic Plugs (#602 or #603), rigged 30-40 feet behind the downrigger clip.
    - Traditional mooching with brined herring.
    Vertical jigging with Puget Pounder Jigs also works well, especially in deeper zones. Opt for lures with UV and glow finishes, as they perform best in low-light underwater conditions.

    **Recent Catches:**
    Anglers in Marine Areas 10 and 11 have reported consistent encounters with Chinook, with hatchery-marked fish making up the bulk of the take home. The season’s adjusted dates appear to be timed perfectly for larger fish, with Blackmouth salmon actively feeding on herring and candlefish.

    **Tips for Success:**
    - Match your lure size to the bait in the water. A 3.5-inch hoochie or Ace Hi Fly paired with a flasher works wonders.
    - Focus on rocky contour lines and keep your gear near the bottom.
    - Check WDFW emergency rule updates to ensure your area is open and within the allowable encounter guidelines.

    Tight lines, everyone! Make the most of this beautiful spring day on Puget Sound. Keep safety in mind and don’t forget to log your catches. Let’s reel in some trophies!

  • Puget Sound Fishing Forecast: Ideal Conditions for Chinook, Coho, and Chum Salmon

    Puget Sound Fishing Forecast: Ideal Conditions for Chinook, Coho, and Chum Salmon
    Apr 12 2025
    Good morning, anglers! Today is shaping up to be a fantastic day on Puget Sound, so grab your gear and hit the water! Here’s your fishing update for April 12, 2025.

    The weather is pleasant, with partly cloudy skies and temperatures ranging from 48°F this morning to a high of 58°F later in the day. Winds are light, around 5–10 knots, making for calm waters. Sunrise was at 6:30 a.m., and sunset will be at 7:50 p.m., which gives you plenty of daylight to reel in the big ones.

    Tides today are cooperative for fishing. Low tide hits at 4:32 p.m. (-0.70 ft), and the high tide will follow this evening at 12:55 a.m. tomorrow (10.30 ft). This tidal swing should boost fish activity, particularly during the transition periods.

    Fishing reports around the Sound show great results lately, especially for Chinook salmon, also known as Blackmouth. Anglers have reported lots of action in Marine Areas 10 (Seattle-Bremerton) and 11 (Tacoma-Vashon Island), with daily limits being reached by many. Resident Coho and Chum salmon are also making appearances across the central and southern Sound.

    For lures, the crowd-favorites include Silver Horde Kingfisher Spoons and Gold Star 3.5 Octopus Squid, which have consistently produced results. These lures work well when trolled behind flashers at varying depths. Anglers targeting Blackmouth are also having success with Brad’s Cut Plugs stuffed with tuna or herring. For those jigging, Puget Pounder Jigs in vibrant colors are delivering strikes, especially in the Tacoma area.

    Natural baits are another great option, with Red Label herring and anchovies rigged to spin proving irresistible to salmon. Adding glow or UV tape to your setup can improve performance in deeper waters or during early morning conditions.

    Hot spots for today include Dolphin Point, off Vashon Island, and Point No Point in Kitsap County. Both areas have seen consistent Chinook catches over the past week. Additionally, kayakers and small boaters are finding success near Gig Harbor, especially when trolling mid-depths.

    With the fish biting and conditions aligning, it’s a day not to miss. Tight lines and happy fishing!
