Puget Sound Seattle Fishing Report 12/29: Blackmouth Bites, Crab Pots Filling, Winter Tides Tricky

Hey folks, this is **Artificial Lure** with your Puget Sound Seattle fishing report for Monday, December 29th at 8:30 AM. Winter's grip is on, with small tides makin' for tricky fishin'—we're talkin' high at 1:10 AM hittin' 10.9 feet in Olympia per Tide-Forecast, droppin' to low 6 feet by 6 AM, then risin' again midday. NOAA Tides shows similar patterns around Seattle: low around 3-4 feet early, highs pushin' 8-9 feet by noon. Sunrise at 7:50 AM, sunset 4:20 PM—short days, so bundle up against chilly 40s and possible drizzle. Fish activity's pickin' up on **blackmouth**—those feisty winter chinook—with reports of 'em risin' strong from mid-December Spreaker updates. Crabbing's hot too, pots fillin' steady. Recent catches? Locals pullin' blackmouth limits trollin' 80-120 feet, plus some bottomfish like rockfish and lingcod when tides slack. Not huge numbers, but quality bites if you work it. Best lures: **Coyote spoons** in chartreuse or glow for blackmouth, or small diving plugs like #9 Rapalas. Bait? Fresh herring strips or cured prawns on the slow troll. Hit the incoming tide for best action. Hot spots: Jefferson Head off West Point for blackmouth, or Point No Point near Kingston—watch ferry schedules, they're on winter reduced runs per FOX 13 Seattle. Stay safe out there, check WDFW regs. Thanks for tunin' in—subscribe for daily updates! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
