Coho Salmon Thrive in Puget Sound's Autumn Fishing Scene - Tides, Weather, and Hot Spots for a Successful Day on the Water
As of October 13, 2024, the fishing scene in Puget Sound is thriving, especially with the fall season in full swing. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Tidal and Weather Conditions
Today, the sunrise is at 7:30 AM, and sunset is at 6:00 PM. The tidal cycle shows a high tide at 9:30 AM and a low tide at 3:30 PM, which are optimal times for fishing. The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with mild temperatures, making it an ideal day to be out on the water.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a significant amount of activity, particularly with coho salmon. Anglers reported catching a good number of coho, especially in areas like the Seattle-Bremerton area and around Sekiu and Pillar Point. Coho salmon have been the stars of the show this fall, with many hatchery-reared fish being caught.
### Catch Reports
In the Puget Sound marine areas, coho salmon were the most common catch. For example, at the Shilshole Public Ramp in the Seattle-Bremerton area, anglers caught 12 coho salmon and 4 chum salmon. Similarly, at Van Riper's South in the Sekiu and Pillar Point area, 16 coho salmon were reported caught.
### Best Lures and Bait
For coho salmon, using lures like spoons, especially those with a silver or pink finish, have been effective. Additionally, bait such as herring or anchovies, either whole or in plug-cut form, have been attracting a lot of bites. If you're targeting other species, squid and shrimp can also be good options for lingcod and halibut, though these species have been less active recently.
### Hot Spots
Two hot spots to consider are the waters around the Seattle-Bremerton area, particularly near the Shilshole Public Ramp, and the Sekiu and Pillar Point area near Van Riper's South. These areas have seen consistent coho salmon activity and offer good access points for both boat and shore anglers.
Overall, with the right gear and knowledge of the tides and fish behavior, today promises to be a great day for fishing in Puget Sound. Make sure to check the latest regulations and emergency rule changes before you head out, and enjoy the beautiful fall weather on the water.
