October 27th Puget Sound Fishing Report - Coho, Chum, and Crab Bonanza
This is Artificial Lure with your October 27th Puget Sound fishing report. Out on the water early, sunrise just cracked at 7:47 and sunset’s coming up at 5:59 this evening—prime fishing windows on both ends today.
Tides are rolling with a -0.03 foot low at 2:40 AM, followed by a 9.15 foot high tide at 11:00 AM, then another drop to 7.61 feet at 3:51 PM, before climbing again to 8.14 feet just before 7:00 PM. That late morning high tide should turn on the bite in the channels and near the mouths of the rivers, so be ready to follow the moving water according to the Puget Sound tide charts.
Weather’s classic fall Sound—clouds, drizzle and barely a break. The National Weather Service is calling for light south winds around 5 to 10 knots, with patchy showers. Water’s relatively calm, waves about 2 feet or less. Bundle up and keep your gear dry, but don’t let the drizzle scare you off—it’s classic October action.
Fishing activity has been solid this week. Salmon have scattered a bit after the last push, but plenty of fall coho are still cruising, especially around Point No Point and Possession Bar. According to the Puget Sound Seattle Daily Fishing Report, recent hookups have been best during tide changes, with most coho running 4 to 8 pounds and the odd larger one pushing double digits. Anglers are also reporting a strong return of chum in the south Sound—don’t overlook the Nisqually delta or Kennedy Creek for arm-stretching battles.
Surf smelt and candlefish are thick in pockets, drawing attention from feeding salmon and sea-run cutthroat. Beach anglers working Southworth and Dash Point are reporting some hard-pulling sea-runs, especially on the incoming tide.
On the salt, Dungeness crab is still on tap. While California’s commercial season is delayed, Puget Sound recreational pots are pulling steady limits. Look for crab in 60 to 100 feet around Edmonds and Camano Head, baited with salmon heads or chicken. Crab numbers reported through Gone Fishing Northwest have been especially strong this week, so don’t forget your shellfish license.
For lures, coho are taking 3.0 or 3.5 inch spoons in green/silver and cop-car patterns, especially trolled fast behind a 10-inch white flasher. Anglers are still bouncing hoochies—purple haze and green spatterback—in mid-Sound, especially when the water’s a little muddy. Plugs like the Maglip 3.0 in “Clown” or “Silver/Chartreuse” are producing near the shipwreck and Edmonds oil docks, as detailed on Gone Fishing Northwest. If you’re after resident blackmouth or late sockeyes, try herring-baited mooching rigs or the classic Rasticle Sockeye Lure behind a dodger when marking bait balls.
Hot spots for today: Point No Point is holding bait and coho off the drop, so get there on the outgoing tide. Possession Bar’s west edge is ideal for trolling, and don’t sleep on Mukilteo for nighttime crab or Vashon’s south end for chunkier chums and a surprise ling or two in the rocks. Shallow beaches at Lincoln Park and Golden Gardens are worth a walk for cutthroat with a small spoon or sand lance imitation.
That’s your rundown for Puget Sound—remember, early and late bites are key with tidal swing and overcast skies. Thanks for tuning in to your local source for the latest on tides, weather, and what’s biting. Don’t forget to subscribe for daily updates and tips—it helps keep this report on the water.
