Puget Sound Fishing Report: Salmon Surge, Crab Pots Productive in Cooler Waters
Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming at you with your Puget Sound fishing report for Tuesday, October 21st.
We've got some decent conditions shaping up today. Sunrise hit at 7:37 this morning and we'll have light until about 6:11 tonight, giving you just over ten hours to wet a line. The National Weather Service is calling for light southeast winds around 5 knots backing to the north this afternoon, with waves staying under 2 feet. Water temperature is holding steady at 54 degrees, which is keeping the fish active.
Tide-wise, we're looking at solid action. High tide peaked at 6:00 AM at about 9 feet, with low tide coming around 11:09 this morning at 4.79 feet. We'll see another high at 4:43 PM reaching 9.71 feet. The tidal coefficient is running high at 83 to 85, meaning strong currents and good fish movement on the bottom.
The major fishing windows today run from 9:53 AM to 11:53 AM during the lunar transit, and again tonight from 10:27 PM through 12:27 AM. Minor periods hit from 4:07 to 5:07 this morning at moonrise, and 4:39 to 5:39 PM at moonset.
Recent reports show pink salmon surging throughout the Sound, with good numbers staging at creek mouths. The Issaquah Salmon Hatchery counted over 8,200 Chinook arriving through August and September, with more than 5,600 Coho showing up in October, so the runs are strong. Salmon are actively feeding and moving through our waters right now.
For gear, Rasticle lures are producing well for sockeye in the deeper pockets. For Chinook and Coho, stick with your standard herring or anchovy behind a flasher. If you're targeting bottom fish, fresh shrimp or squid on a jig works great during these strong tide swings.
Hot spots to hit today include the waters off Edmonds and Kingston where the current concentrates baitfish, and down around Point Defiance where salmon stage before heading up into the rivers. The deeper channels near Vashon Island are also holding fish with this tide movement.
If you're looking to switch it up, Dungeness crab pots are pulling good numbers right now with the cooler water temps. Just make sure you're using fresh bait and setting them in 60 to 100 feet.
Bundle up out there with that morning chill, but conditions should stay mild throughout the day. It's shaping up to be a solid fall fishing day on the Sound.
