Puget Sound Fishing Report Mar 23, 2025: Chinook Strong, Coho Biting, Cutthroat Active
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for March 23, 2025.
We've got some decent weather today, partly cloudy with highs around 54°F and light winds. Sunrise was at 7:05 AM and sunset will be at 7:25 PM, so we've got plenty of daylight to work with. Tides are looking good - we've got a low tide of 1.2 feet at 10:23 AM and a high tide of 11.8 feet at 4:47 PM.
The big news is that the Chinook season in Marine Areas 10 and 11 is still going strong. Anglers have been averaging 1-2 fish per trip, with most blackmouth in the 5-8 pound range. A few lucky folks have even landed some in the teens. Don't forget your crab pots - the Dungeness have been thick lately.
For you bank anglers, the resident Coho action has been picking up nicely. Folks casting Buzz Bombs and Rotators from the Edmonds Pier have been landing some nice silvers in the 3-5 pound range. If you're heading out that way, try to time it for the incoming tide.
Over on the Eastside, cutthroat fishing has been excellent in Lake Sammamish. Small spoons and Woolly Bugger flies have been doing the trick. A few anglers reported catching and releasing some hefty 16-18 inch cutties near Idylwood Park.
As for lures, Green Dot and Purple Haze Yamashita squids behind flashers have been hot producers. Don't forget your Tomic plugs either - the 602 and 603 patterns in 4" size are always solid choices this time of year. For bait, herring is always a good bet for salmon. The orange label has been the hot ticket lately. If you're after bottomfish, squid strips on a dropper loop rig is hard to beat.
Hot spots to check out this week: Point No Point for salmon trolling, try working the north side on the incoming tide. Jefferson Head and Possession Bar have also been producing well. For you shore anglers, give Redondo Beach Pier a shot - I've heard good things about the squid jigging at night there.
Remember, the limit is two salmon daily, only one of which can be a Chinook. Make sure to check the regs before you head out.
That's all for now, folks. Tight lines and see you on the water!
