Puget Sound Fishing Report: Perch, Salmon, and Rockfish Action on the Rise

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things rod and reel in the Puget Sound. It's early February 6th, 2026, and we're lookin' at a solid day on the water around Seattle—sunrise at about 7:22 AM, sunset 'round 5:15 PM, with average solunar activity peakin' from 6:45-8:45 AM and 7:24-9:24 PM. Tides today hit low at 12:35 AM around 0.66 ft, high at 7:22 AM pushin' 12.45 ft, low 1:39 PM, and high 7:15 PM per NOAA predictions—fish the incomin' currents for best action. Weather's typical winter mild, mid-40s, partly cloudy with light winds—perfect for bundlin' up and droppin' lines without freezin' your bait off. Fish activity's pickin' up; recent reports show perch bitin' steady in shallower bays, with limits easy on dropshot rigs usin' maggots or shrimp. Chinook salmon runs are drawin' Southern Resident orcas back—saw J27 rockin' a salmon hat near Point No Point last fall, sign of healthy prey around. Anglers pulled decent rockfish and lingcod last week, plus flounder and sea bass on herring or squid strips. Limits on perch by the dozens near Shilshole Bay. **Top lures:** Buzz Bombs or Kyber jigs in chartreuse for bottom dwellers; spoons like Pixee for mid-water. **Best bait:** Fresh herring, shrimp, or bloodworms—match the hatch for perch and bottomfish. Hit these hot spots: **Meadow Point in Shilshole Bay** for perch stacks, or **Eagle Harbor on Bainbridge** for mixed bag rockfish. Launch early, watch for orcas, and stay safe out there.
