Puget Sound Fishing Report: Late Pinks, Fading Silvers, and Squid Under the Lights
Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for Wednesday, October 29th, 2025. Out on the salt, we’re waking to classic fall weather—overcast skies, drizzle in the air, and a chilly morning temp around 42°F. Expect it to range up to the high 40s, with the water sitting at a crisp 54°F. Humidity’s still high and light rain is sticking around, so bring those rain jackets and good boots.
Tides are mellow today—that’s important for planning your trip. The first low swings in at 4:21 am at about 0.7 feet, and the big high tide will follow at 12:50 pm, topping out around 9.25 feet. The evening sees another drop to low at 6:42 pm, bottoming at just under 7 feet. But don’t expect much push between swings—the tidal coefficient is only about 34, meaning weaker currents and less movement in the bait schools according to tides4fishing.com.
For the serious anglers watching prime time, sunrise is 7:50 am and sunset hits at 5:56 pm. Major bite windows are forecast for early morning from 4:26 to 6:26 am as the moon opposes, then again from 4:58 to 6:58 pm at moon-up. Midday tides line up nicely for drifting or trolling during the incoming surge.
On to the action—2025’s an odd year, and that means what everyone’s really talking about are the pink salmon, or “humpies.” The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife estimates over 300,000 pinks returned to the Snohomish, so all the tributaries across Puget Sound have been thick with spawning fish. Reports out of the lower Green and Puyallup have seen anglers still catching pinks close to tidewater; up north, spots like the Snohomish and Duwamish are peppered with late runners, though most are in full spawn and a bit dark. Heirman Wildlife Preserve has been a spectacle, with dozens of fish in every bend. It is waning fast, but you'll still fetch a few moving in on new tides.
Coho are tapering off but still worth chasing near Point No Point and Edmonds—especially on the outgoing tide. Point Defiance gets a nod as one of today’s hot spots for late silvers and maybe a stray chum pushing in. Squid jigging under the lights is getting good from Seattle north to Everett piers after 6pm.
For gear, locals are sticking to what works:
- For pink salmon, pink hoochies, Dick Nite spoons in nickel/pink or chartreuse, and 1/2 oz BuzzBombs in bubblegum or fluorescent pink will tempt the last strong-bellied fish. Drift fishing with a #2 pink jig under a float is also killer.
- For coho, troll an orange or green hoochie behind a white flasher, or cast spinners near creek mouths as the tide backs out. Earlier in the day, try a cut-plug herring or anchovy for a shot at fresher fish.
- Squidders, standard size 2.5 jigs in pearl or pink seem to be the ticket.
Crabbing remains slow, but there’s still a window in deeper pots around 80–120 feet near Possession Bar if you soak long enough.
Top two hot spots for today:
- Point No Point for coho and late pinks, best action mid-morning on the incoming tide.
- Dash Point Pier for mixed bag—late pinks, a few silvers, and solid squid after dark.
