Puget Sound Fishing Outlook: Coho Salmon Abound in Fall Fishing Frenzy
As of October 17, 2024, the fishing scene in Puget Sound is looking promising, especially with the fall season in full swing.
### Tidal and Weather Conditions
Today, the tide is expected to be high at around 7:30 AM and low at 2:00 PM, with a moderate tide change that should keep the fish active. The weather forecast indicates partly cloudy skies with a gentle breeze, making it an ideal day to be out on the water. Sunrise is at 7:38 AM, and sunset will be at 6:02 PM.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a good number of coho salmon being caught, particularly in the marine areas around Sekiu and Pillar Point. Anglers reported catching several coho, with some areas yielding up to 10 fish per boat.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
The coho salmon are the main attraction right now, with a strong run expected throughout October. Chinook salmon are also present, although in lesser numbers compared to the coho. Some areas like the Seattle-Bremerton region reported catches of coho and a few chum salmon.
### Best Lures and Bait
For coho salmon, using lures that mimic small fish or baitfish patterns is highly effective. Spoons, such as the Luhr-Jensen Krocodile or the Acme Kastmaster, are good choices. For those preferring bait, herring or anchovies are excellent options. If you're fly fishing, patterns that mimic copepods, amphipods, and other small crustacean larvae are working well.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots right now is the area around Van Riper's South in Marine Area 5, where several coho were caught yesterday. Another good spot is the Shilshole Public Ramp in the Seattle-Bremerton area, which has seen consistent catches of coho and some chum salmon.
Overall, it's a great time to be fishing in Puget Sound, with plenty of opportunities to catch some exciting fish. Make sure to check the latest fishing regulations and any emergency rule changes before you head out.
