"Gale Warning, Prime Time Bite: Puget Sound Fishing Report for October 25, 2025"
Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound Fishing Report for Saturday, October 25, 2025. Early risers were treated to sunrise at 7:41 AM, and sunset will wrap up the day at 6:02 PM. We’re off to a dramatic start as a potent front rolls in: National Weather Service flags a Gale Warning for this afternoon through tonight, calling for southeast winds gusting up to 40 knots and waves building to 14–17 feet by midnight. Expect steady rain—this is classic fall fishing in the Sound, folks! If you’re heading out, make safety priority one and watch for those changing conditions.
Tidal movement is substantial today: Seattle’s first high tide hit at 6:47 AM with 10.76 feet, dropping to a 5.97-foot low at 12:11 PM, then back up for a 10.5-foot high at 5:24 PM. Strong exchanges like this really get the fish moving. The major bite windows will line up nicely with these shifting tides, especially the late afternoon push—prime time if you can stick it out between fronts.
The October salmon surge is still in full swing. This week, local tackle shops and Puget Sound Daily Fishing Report both note fast coho limits coming from Elliott Bay down to Shilshole and up towards Edmonds. Cohos have been running between 4 and 8 pounds, with a few larger fish for lucky anglers. The north Sound has seen a decent push of chum as well—look for those “dogs” rolling in the shallow, ghost-green water around estuary mouths like Chico Creek and the Nisqually delta.
Top producers for the coho this week: UV or chartreuse hoochies behind a white or green flasher, trolled from 30 to 60 feet on the downrigger. A 3-inch cut-plug herring is money for both coho and those early blackmouth (resident Chinook) just starting to show on opener days off Southworth and Possession Bar. Shore anglers are doing well with BuzzBombs in pink or green, particularly during last light. For the chums, drift a large purple or pink yarn fly if you want a shot at a scrappy fight near the creek mouths.
Plenty of action on the bottom too—lingcod season may be closed in many spots but rockfish and flounder are still biting, especially around the piers and reefs near Elliott Bay Marina and Tacoma Narrows. Crabbing has been decent between rains: chicken or salmon carcasses in your pots have been hauling up nice-sized Dungeness, but be sure to check those updated regulations and closures.
A couple of hot spots to try:
- **Elliott Bay**—boats trolling along Harbor Island to the mouth of the Duwamish have seen consistent coho pulls all week.
- **Edmonds Marina breakwater**—shore anglers are reporting solid catches on jigging spoons, especially mid-morning as the incoming tide peaks.
If you’re landlocked, don’t sleep on Lake Washington cutthroat and rainbow trout right now—worm-tipped spinners and trolling small plugs work best. And don’t underestimate Mount Baker Beach for a last-minute evening cast—this quiet stretch often sneaks out a late season salmon or two.
That’s your report for today. Thanks for tuning in to your local Puget Sound update. Make sure to subscribe for daily reports and real-time tips.
