Puget Sound Fishing Report March 31, 2025 - Chinook Hot, Bottomfish Biting, and More!
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for March 31, 2025. Let me tell you, it's shaping up to be a beautiful day out on the water.
We're looking at partly cloudy skies with a high of 58°F and light winds from the northwest. Sunrise was at 6:47 AM and sunset will be at 7:38 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to land some beauties. Tide-wise, we've got a low tide at 11:23 AM and a high tide at 5:47 PM, so plan your trips accordingly.
Now, let's talk fish. The Chinook action has been heating up lately, with several anglers reporting nice catches in the 15-20 pound range. We're also seeing some early Coho starting to show up, though they're still on the smaller side. Don't forget, it's an odd year, so we've got Pink salmon on the way too!
For you bottomfish enthusiasts, the lingcod and rockfish season opened up earlier this month, and folks have been having a blast pulling in some chunky lings.
As for what's working, I've been hearing great things about the Silver Horde Kingfisher Lite spoons in the Cookies and Cream and Irish Cream patterns. Don't overlook the trusty Green Crush flasher paired with an Ace Hi fly either. If you're targeting those blackmouth, try slow-trolling a cut-plug herring behind a Gibbs Delta Guide Series flasher.
For you shore anglers, Buzz Bombs and Point Wilson Darts have been producing well from the piers and beaches. And if you're after some tasty bottomfish, try working a Kalin's grub on a jighead near rocky structure.
Hot spots this week include the north end of Vashon Island for blackmouth, the Tacoma Narrows for lingcod, and Possession Bar for a mixed bag of salmon species. If you're looking to stay closer to Seattle, don't sleep on the waters around Jefferson Head.
Remember, we're still on barbless hooks for salmon in most areas, so check those regs before you head out. And as always, tight lines and stay safe out there, folks! This is Artificial Lure, signing off until next time.
