March Madness on Puget Sound: Cutthroat and Coho Bite Hard This Morning

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for Puget Sound angling. It's early morning on this crisp March day in 2026, and the Sound's callin' us out. Sunrise hit around 7:15 AM, sunset's pushin' 7:30 PM—plenty of daylight to chase 'em. First quarter moon at 39% proximity means solid solunar action: major bites from 6:30-8:30 AM (you're right in it now), 6:41-8:41 PM; minors at 2:07-4:07 PM and 11:15 PM-1:15 AM. Tides per Fishing Reminder for Bainbridge Island: low at 4:37 AM (0.59 ft), high noonish at 12:37 PM (10.66 ft), evening low 7:44 PM (7.32 ft), late high 10:35 PM (7.48 ft). Fish the incomin' floods, especially mornings and evenings for cutthroat and coho—late winter patterns holdin' strong. Weather's cool and overcast, light winds—perfect for not spookin' the fish. Recent reports show cutthroat trout tearin' it up on high tides, coho salmon showin' in shallower bays, plus perch and rockfish stackin' limits. Limits of 5-10 fish per boat common last week around Seattle waters. Go with **artificial lures** like small silver spoons or jigs in chartreuse for cutthroat; buzz bombs or hoochies behind flashers for coho. Live bait? Herring or shrimp on a single hook—deadly on the drop. Hot spots: Hit Winslow Wharf or Eagle Harbor Marina off Bainbridge for easy access and structure. Fletcher Bay or Shilshole Bay for beach casters—tide rips there are gold. Get out there safe, check regs, and tight lines! Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for daily updates!
