Weather's shapin' up nice per NOAA—mostly sunny with highs in the mid-60s, light winds from the northwest at 5-10 knots, perfect for gettin' out there without gettin' tossed around.

Tides are key today: NOAA reports low tide at 4:12 AM (-0.2 ft), high at 11:03 AM (11.8 ft), then low again at 5:47 PM (2.1 ft). Fish the incomin' tide hard from now till noon—that's when the current stirs up the forage. Fish activity's been hot lately. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife logs show chinook salmon runnin' strong in the Sound, with limits posted from recent charters out of Shilshole—anglers pullin' 6-10 fish days on 20-30 lb kings.

For lures, my top picks: Buzz Bombs or Apex Super Mikados in chartreuse or glow for salmon—they're tearin' it up in 80-120 ft. For lings, try a 1-2 oz jighead with a Berkley PowerBait Minnow. Live bait? Herring or candlefish chunks on a spreader bar can't be beat for halibut and bottomfish. Hot spots: Hit Elliott Bay near the shipping lanes for salmon on the tide change, or steam to Point No Point for lings and rockfish—structure there is loaded.

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!

First quarter moon's got the fish stirrin' early. Weather's holdin' steady—mild temps in the 50s, light winds off the Sound, no big rains messin' things up, makin' it prime for gettin' out there. Fish activity's pickin' up with spring vibes; WDFW's North of Falcon meetin' yesterday flagged a Chinook season lookin' like last year's solid runs, though wild coho might be tight in marine areas due to low river returns on spots like Stillaguamish and Snohomish. Still, resident coho and kings are showin', with Ridge to River Outdoors notin' aggressive coho action buildin' toward summer. Recent catches? Folks pullin' shaker Chinook and small coho near wharfs, plus some resident rockfish if you're deep—NOAA's highlightin' 'em in the Salish Sea, but use recompression devices to keep it sustainable. For lures, go with hoochies on a 20-24 oz setup for that wobble—pair 'em with anchovy or herring strips on size 1 octopus hooks or size 4 trebles for coho and kings. Live bait like herring or even squid strips shine on the troll. Jigs bouncin' bottom near reefs get rockfish fired up. Hot spots? Hit Winslow Wharf or Chandlery on Bainbridge for easy access and night bites—wharfs are lit and baitfish swarm. Or try Fletcher Bay or Shilshole Bay for beach casters, where tides rip and structures hold fish. Get out there safe, check regs, and tight lines!

Mornin' everyone's kickin' off with sunrise at 7:11 AM PDT and sunset at 7:23 PM, givin' us a solid 12 hours of light to chase 'em. Tides are pumpin' today per Tides4Fishing charts: low at 12:12 AM hittin' 2.4 ft, high at 6:18 AM toppin' 11.9 ft, low again 12:45 PM at 0.5 ft, and evenin' high 7:05 PM at 11.0 ft.

Weather's classic early spring—mild temps in the 50s, light winds off the Sound, but watch for those pop-up showers keepin' things fresh. Fish activity's heatin' up; pink salmon are showin' strong on beaches from Gone Fishing Northwest reports, with coho and steelhead mixin' in. Perch are stackin' buckets in spots like Lake Washington shallows, and bottom bouncers are pullin' limits. Recent catches mirror SoCal patterns but local-style: think whitefish, bass, and sheephead analogs like rockfish and lingcod on yo-yo jigs. Best lures? 4/0 dodgers for salmon, buzz bombs or hoochies in chartreuse for coho. Live bait shines—herring or shrimp on a spreader bar. Jig setups 25-50 lb test for deeper drops.

# Artificial Lure's Puget Sound Fishing Report Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Wednesday morning Puget Sound report. **Tides & Timing** We're looking at a high tide of 11.56 feet at 5:30 AM—you probably just missed it if you're heading out now. Low tide hits at 11:36 AM at 3.08 feet, then we get another high around 5:23 PM. Sunrise was at 7:13 AM and sunset's at 7:21 PM, so you've got decent light all day. Over in Rocky Point and Eld Inlet, similar patterns with highs around 15 feet—classic Puget Sound range. **Weather Intel** Fair warning: the marine forecast is calling for southerly winds 5 to 10 knots this morning, ramping up to 15 to 25 knots this afternoon with gusts hitting 35 knots tonight. Rain throughout. It's going to get choppy out there, especially later, so get out early if you're planning a run. **What's Biting** Fresh intel from local anglers shows trout activity at American Lake with fish holding around 40 to 45 feet deep. They're being picky though—one angler recently had a hoochie snapped clean off and missed another bite. The takeaway? Go with darker lures. Whites, pinks, and greens aren't cutting it right now. Gulp pincher crawlers are getting attention when other offerings aren't. Blackmouth salmon season kicks off next month, so serious anglers are out there tuning up their trolling techniques on trout—same methods, just downsized gear. **Best Baits & Lures** For trout, Gulp pincher crawlers are producing. Switch to darker hoochies—avoid the standard whites and pinks. Downriggers are the play when fish are deep. For the broader Puget Sound, Dungeness crab is active according to recent reports, so crabbing around the sound's mudflats and protected waters is worth your time. **Hot Spots** American Lake is holding trout right now around that 40-45 foot mark—work the pockets where baitfish congregate. If you're after something different, the mudflats around Eld Inlet and Rocky Point are prime for Dungeness crab. Get out there before that afternoon wind picks up.

# Artificial Lure's Puget Sound Fishing Report Alright folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Monday morning Puget Sound report, and let me tell you, we've got some solid conditions shaping up out there. First things first—the tides. We're looking at a high tide at 4:54 AM this morning around Seattle, sitting pretty at 11.25 feet. That low tide is coming in around 10:36 AM at 5.55 feet. If you're out on the water right now, you're in that sweet spot between the highs, so current should still be pushing fish around. Over in Tacoma, we're seeing similar patterns with a high of 11.32 feet this morning. Sun came up early—right around 7 AM—and we've got a full day of light ahead of us. That's crucial because stripers and bluefish key in on that morning bite when baitfish are most active. Now, here's what's been happening in our waters. The Puget Sound salmon fishery is gearing up, and while we're not expecting massive runs just yet this season, the infrastructure is in place for when those fish start moving. Word from the guides around here is that striped bass have been cooperative in the deeper channels, especially around the flats at first light. You want to work your flies or live herring in 15-25 feet of water where they're staging. For lures, grab your Bunny Split Flies—those musky patterns work wonders for aggressive stripers—or tie on some beast flies if you've got them. Live herring is still king for bait, but don't sleep on shrimp and small baitfish imitations. Hot spots? Head to Elliott Bay early—it's classic for a reason. The structure there holds fish consistently. If you've got time, Kingston's Appletree Cove is firing right now with the tidal exchange pushing baitfish through. Thanks for tuning in, and make sure you subscribe for daily updates on what's biting around Puget Sound. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out quietplease.ai.

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things Puget Sound angling. It's early Sunday morning here in Seattle, with sunrise around 7:15 AM PDT and sunset at 7:20 PM—plenty of daylight to chase bites. Weather's starting cold and cloudy per FOX 13 Seattle, temps in the upper 20s to low 30s overnight, watch for icy spots on docks early, but expect scattered rain showers by afternoon as it warms a touch. Tides today from tide-forecast.com: high at 4:32 AM (11.04 ft), low 10:07 AM (6.52 ft), high 2:41 PM (8.99 ft), and evening low 9:39 PM (0.62 ft). Fish the outgoing tides hard—lows are prime for bottom dwellers. Fish activity's solid this winter. Puget Sound's loaded with oysters right now, Anthony's Restaurants calling March Oyster Month with fresh local hauls. Salmon's been spotty but chinook showing in deeper channels, rockfish steady off islands, and perch hitting limits near shore. Recent reports whisper good lingcod grabs jigging 100-200 feet, plus flounder and sole on the flats. Limits of 10-20 perch common last week from piers. Best lures: Buzzbombs or heavy jigs in chartreuse or glow for lings and rockfish—drop 'em deep on the troll. For perch, small orange or green curly-tail grubs on 1/4 oz jigheads. Bait-wise, live herring or chunks of squid rule for salmon, mud shrimp or bloodworms for perch and sole. If you're bait fishing, herring strips on a spreader bar can't miss. Hot spots: Hit Elliott Bay near Seattle seawall for perch and flounder on the low tide—easy access from shore. Or steam out to Possession Bar in central Sound for rockfish and lings; structure there holds fish tight. Bundle up, check your regs, and get after 'em safe.

Fish activity's heating up after a slow winter. Recent reports from Peninsula Daily News show halibut stacking in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, with Chilsey McKee pulling a nice one last week—derby's firing up Memorial Day, but you can chase 'em now. Puget Sound's seeing limits of coho silvers and landlocked kokanee in the deeper waters, per Gone Fishing NW videos—folks are hammering five-fish days on those feisty silvers. Bottomfish like canary rockfish opened coastal-side with sub-bags intact, and WDFW's monitoring rockfish pops healthy but quota-tight—no copper, quillback, or vermilion May-July. Crab's solid too, Dungeness pots filling quick. For lures, John Beath's halibut seminar tips green herring or jigs on the drift—anchor with chum for flatties. Coho? Worm trolling rigs or small spoons like Coyotes in chartreuse. Live bait kings: herring strips or squid for halibut and rockfish; sand shrimp for crab pots.

According to Tide Forecast, we've got a high tide coming in at 8:16 AM at about 10.7 feet, with sunrise at 7:35 AM and sunset at 7:04 PM—plenty of daylight to work with. The water's moving nice and steady, which is exactly what we want to get those fish feeding. March is transition time here in Puget Sound, folks. We're seeing solid action on both cutthroat and coho, especially during the morning and evening highs. The recent conditions have been producing some quality fish, and the tidal movements we're experiencing right now are prime feeding windows. If you can get out there around those high tide periods, you're positioning yourself for the bite. For lures, I'm going to stick with what's been working—small silver spoons and shads that mimic the baitfish these salmonids are chasing. The cutthroat are responding well to smaller presentations, while the coho want something with a bit more flash and substance. Don't sleep on live herring either if you're the bait-fishing type. Head out to the classic Puget Sound spots: Elliott Bay near the piers is always productive this time of year, and Shilshole Bay offers excellent access with consistent morning action. The structure and current breaks in both areas concentrate fish. Stay mobile, watch those tides, and keep your line tight out there. Thanks for tuning in to this report!

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Puget Sound fishing report around Seattle. We’re on a nice moving tide today. Tide-Forecast’s Seattle table shows a low at about 12:51 a.m. around 4 feet, a strong morning high about 6:50 a.m. pushing 11 feet, midday low around 1:30 p.m. near 1 foot, then an evening high around 8:10 p.m. just under 10 feet. Sunrise is right around 6:40 a.m., sunset just after 6 p.m., so you’ve got solid light on both sides of those big exchanges. Weather-wise, expect classic late-winter Sound conditions: cool mornings in the upper 30s to low 40s, climbing into the 50s, light to moderate southerly breeze, broken clouds with decent windows of sun. That combo, plus those morning and evening highs, sets up good edges for bait to stack along points and current seams. Pacific Fly Fishers’ March write-up notes sea‑run cutthroat and resident coho are the main game on Puget Sound beaches this time of year, with fish already poking around the usual South Sound and central Sound haunts. They report consistent cutthroat action with a mix of smaller resident coho from the beach, which tracks with what I’m hearing: no wide‑open blitzes, but steady pick‑a‑fish mornings if you grind. Near Seattle, anglers have been finding: - Sea‑run cutthroat in the 10–16 inch range with occasional 18–20s. - Resident coho mostly 12–18 inches. - A few blackmouth and undersize chinook for those trolling deep, plus the odd flounder and dogfish on bait. Catch rates have been “a handful per tide” rather than limits: think 2–6 cutts or resident coho per angler if you work the tide, more if you’re dialed into a bait lane. Best lures right now: - For beach casting: small **clouser‑style** flies, epoxy minnows, and 2–3 inch baitfish patterns in olive‑white, grey‑white, or sand‑lance colors. For gear, 1/4‑ to 1/2‑ounce **Kastmasters**, **Buzz Bombs**, and smaller metal jigs in silver, green, or blue. - For trolling: 3–3.5 inch **hootchies** or spoons in green/glow, cop car, or Irish cream behind an 11‑inch flasher, run 80–140 feet down over 120–200 feet of water. Best bait: - For bottom and bycatch: strips of herring or anchovy on a simple hi‑lo rig will pick up flounder and the odd hungry salmon. - For folks soaking bait off piers: small herring chunks or shrimp pieces under a sliding sinker to stay in the zone during those big tide swings. A couple of local hot spots to consider: - **Lincoln Park / West Seattle shoreline**: Work the dropping side of the morning high, casting along the edges of current sweeping past points and small coves. Sea‑run cutts like to sit just off the rip lines there, especially when the sun’s low and there’s a little chop. - **Meadowdale and the Edmonds shoreline**: Great for resident coho and cutts on that afternoon flood pushing toward the evening high. Fan‑cast metals or flies along the beach, cover water until you bump into bait. If you’re in a boat, troll just off the drop‑off parallel to the beach, following the 60

Recent reports from local forums like WashingtonLakes.com and WDFW updates show rockfish and lingcod bitin' steady in 60-100 feet off Possession Bar, with limits of blacks and quillbacks on the troll. Salmon scouts are spottin' kings staged near Point Monroe, a few 10-15 pounders boated last week usin' spoons. Cutthroat trout are active in the shallows 'round Shilshole Bay, slammin' smallmouth bass too—dozens reported daily, up to 4 pounds. Best lures right now? Buzz 'em with chartreuse or pink hoochies behind a flasher for salmon, or drop BuzzBomb jigs in white/pink for rockfish—they're tearin' it up. Natural bait? Herring strips or squid chunks on a spreader bar can't be beat for lings. Match the hatch with small shrimp patterns if you're fly-fishin' beaches.

Cutthroat trout are active in shallows near Elliott Bay, and perch schools are thick for family limits. Salmon's slow but chinook cruises show promise on outgoing tides. Recent reports from Bremerton and Pickering Passage tally dozens of rockfish per boat, plus sea bass and flounder stackin' up. For lures, my top picks are white or chartreuse Buzz Bombs jigged vertically for rockfish—they're tearin' it up right now. Spoon 'em with 2-4 oz Coho killers in silver for cutthroat. Live bait? Herring or shrimp on a spreader bar can't be beat—fish the tide change for max hookups. Hit these hot spots: Possession Bar south of Whidbey for rockfish piles, or the Eld Inlet walls near Rocky Point for mixed bags. Launch from Shilshole or Des Moines and troll slow.
