Coho Surge in Puget Sound as Salmon Season Peaks
Artificial Lure here with your Thursday, October 30th Puget Sound fishing report. If you’re rigging up before sunrise, expect **cloud cover at 100%**, light showers, and chilly fall temps—about 42°F out there with water temps holding steady at 54°F. **Winds are light, NE shifting to N at 5-10 knots through the day, waves staying tame around 2 feet or less.** The sun pops up at 7:47AM and drops out at 5:59PM, giving over 10 hours of daylight to work with.
**Tide action today is mellow—low at 5:34AM (1.1ft), hitting high at 1:22PM (10.8ft), and ebbing to 6.2ft at 8:08PM.** Tidal coefficients are low, meaning slower currents and less dramatic swing, so don’t expect fast action in shallow points. Best fish activity lines up with major solunar periods from **4:26AM to 6:26AM** and **4:58PM to 6:58PM**—get your lines in water early and hit it again before dusk for best chances.
**What’s biting?** According to Puget Sound Seattle Daily Fishing Report, it’s a **salmon surge**, especially with pinks winding down and coho still moving. Chum have started showing, joined by feisty cutthroat cruising the beaches. Bottomfish—black rockfish and flounder—are heating up at deeper ledges and rocky drops. Crab action still solid, especially for folks soaking pots around the edges of eel grass beds.
Latest buzz says anglers running hoochies and BuzzBombs off the Sound are steady on coho and pinks. Troll a white or pink flasher with a pink hoochie when working open water, or swap in a green/silver setup for overcast conditions. For coho near shore, drift-fish a Dick Nite spoon, tip it with a sliver of herring for bonus scent. Herring and anchovy baits, fished below a sliding sinker, keep things productive especially when bite slows.
Typical catches reported for the past week: most boats in the north Sound are boating **2–4 coho apiece** on a good tide push, with some pink salmon mixed in, especially south of Everett. The shore game’s focused on cutthroat, with beach anglers sticking 1–3 fish in a session using small jigs or spoons. Crabbers are averaging **5–8 keepers** per pot set north of Edmonds if you hit the edge before incoming tide.
Hot spots to check:
- **Edmonds Oil Docks**: Coho keep stacking, especially on the afternoon incoming tide. Troll 25–50 feet down.
- **Dash Point Pier**: Shore-bound folks finding cutthroat and the odd coho early morning. Try a small chartreuse jig.
- **Possession Bar**: Bottomfish action ramped up, best on slack tide, drift with squid strips or Berkley Gulp.
If you’re heading over toward the islands, note that spot shrimp season isn’t open right now except select areas. South Sound’s current focus is mostly on late-season coho and resident blackmouth.
Remember, gear up for the wet and chill, keep an eye on those tides, and be sure your license is up to date before dropping traps or chasing salmon. Thanks for tuning in—don’t forget to subscribe for daily local insights and tips to keep your tackle box on point.
