Puget Sound Fishing Report: Blackmouth Bites, Lingcod Action, and Prepping for Pink Salmon Run
Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for March 26, 2025. It's a beautiful spring day out on the water, with partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-50s. Sunrise was at 6:54 AM, and we'll have daylight until sunset at 7:32 PM.
Tides are looking good today, with a low tide of 1.2 feet at 10:23 AM and a high tide of 8.7 feet at 4:45 PM. This swing should get the fish moving, especially around the tide changes.
Fishing activity has been picking up lately as we transition into spring. Blackmouth (resident Chinook) fishing has been decent, with anglers reporting catches in the 5-10 pound range. The Tacoma Narrows and Point No Point have been producing well. Don't forget, the Chinook season in Marine Areas 10 and 11 opens next week on April 2nd, so get ready for some more opportunities.
For you bottomfish enthusiasts, lingcod season opened earlier this month, and folks have been having good luck around rocky structure and artificial reefs. The jetties at Westport and Ocean Shores have been hot spots.
As for lures, I've been hearing great things about the Silver Horde Kingfisher spoons in the 3.5" size, especially in the Cookies and Cream and Irish Cream patterns. For those of you mooching with cut-plug herring, try adding a Mack's Lure Smile Blade in front of your bait for some extra flash.
Speaking of bait, herring has been the go-to for salmon, while squid strips have been working well for lingcod. If you're heading out for some shore fishing, sandworms or berkley gulp sandworms have been producing nicely for perch and flounder.
A couple of hot spots to check out: Possession Bar has been consistently good for blackmouth, and the north end of Vashon Island has been producing some nice-sized lingcod.
For you crabbers out there, the pots have been coming up full lately. Just remember to check those regulations and have your catch record card handy.
Lastly, don't forget that the big pink salmon run is coming up later this year. It's looking to be a banner year, so start getting that gear ready!
That's all for now, folks. Remember to stay safe out there, respect the resource, and tight lines to ya! This is Artificial Lure, signing off.
