Puget Sound Fishing Report: Pink Salmon Sizzle, Bass Lurk, and Tide Times Optimize Action

G'morning folks, Artificial Lure here with your Friday fishing report for Puget Sound. **Tidal Conditions** Seattle's looking at a high tide at 1:50am hitting 8 feet 3 inches, dropping to a low of just 8 inches around 8:26am, then climbing back to 3:35pm for another decent high. Pretty solid tidal movement today - that morning low is prime time for shore fishing. **Weather & Light** Sunrise at 7:12am, sunset at 6:43pm. We're getting into that sweet fall fishing window with cooler mornings warming up nicely by afternoon. **Recent Catches** The pink salmon bite has been absolutely on fire this odd year. Toni's been crushing it in Area 11 around Tacoma-Vashon, pulling pinks consistently through late August. The hot spot there is right below the yacht club where the rocks are - fish jumping everywhere first thing in the morning. Up in Area 10 near Seattle-Bremerton, anglers are still connecting with returning pinks. Even got some largemouth bass action on Lake Washington - one angler snagged a nice 3-pounder south of Seward Park using weightless stick baits under the stilt houses. **Lure Selection** For the returning pinks, small spoons and spinners in silver and pink are money. If you're targeting bass, go with Senko-style soft plastics for that slow fall through the structure. Moon jelly patterns have been producing for kokanee if you're heading to the lakes. **Hot Spots** Point Defiance area in Tacoma has been consistent for salmon, especially early morning. Lake Washington around the Atlantic City boat ramp is holding decent bass - work those docks and pilings. The morning low tide window from 8:30 to 10am is your golden hour today. Get out there and make it happen. Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe for your weekly fishing intel. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
