Puget Sound Fishing Report: Coho Salmon Shining in the Fall Bounty
As of October 12, 2024, the fishing scene in the Puget Sound around Seattle is looking promising, especially with the fall season in full swing.
### Weather and Tides
Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 48 degrees. The sunrise was at 7:24 AM, and the sunset will be at 6:06 PM. Tides are crucial for fishing here; today's high tide is at 10:17 AM, and the low tide is at 3:44 PM. The tidal changes are moderate, which should help stir up the fish.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a decent amount of activity, particularly for coho salmon. Anglers reported catching several coho, with some areas yielding better results than others. The coho are active, especially during the changing tides, and there are also reports of some Chinook salmon, although these must be released in most areas.
### Catch Reports
From the creel reports, it's clear that coho salmon were the main catch. For example, at the Point Defiance Public Ramp in Area 11, anglers caught around 53 coho salmon per 113 anglers interviewed.
### Best Lures and Bait
For coho salmon, using lures like spinners, spoons, and flies in pink or orange can be very effective. Bait-wise, herring and anchovies are always good choices. If you're targeting Chinook, although they must be released, using larger lures like plugs or bait such as whole herring can attract them.
### Hot Spots
Some hot spots to consider include the Point Defiance Public Ramp in the Tacoma-Vashon Island area, where coho fishing has been consistent. Another good spot is the Armeni Public Ramp in the Admiralty Inlet area, which has seen a mix of coho and other species.
Overall, the fall season is a great time to be out on the Puget Sound, with the cooler weather and changing tides making for ideal fishing conditions. Make sure to check the latest regulations and emergency rule changes before you head out, as they can change frequently.
