Hey there, Puget Sound anglers! Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 31, 2025.

We've got some decent weather today, partly cloudy with highs around 55°F and light winds. Sunrise was at 6:49 AM and sunset will be at 7:38 PM, so we've got plenty of daylight to work with. Tides are looking good - we've got a low tide of -1.5 feet at 1:07 PM and a high tide of 12.2 feet at 6:25 AM.

The big news is that the Chinook season in Marine Areas 10 and 11 opens up tomorrow, April 1st. Until then, we're still seeing some decent action on resident coho and blackmouth. Anglers have been having luck trolling with Gibbs Skinny G spoons in Bon Chovy color, as well as Silver Horde Coho Killers. For those of you who prefer artificials like me, try working some Ace Hi Flies behind a flasher.

Recent reports show anglers averaging 1-2 fish per trip, with most blackmouth in the 5-8 pound range. A few lucky folks have landed some in the teens. Don't forget your crab pots - the Dungeness have been thick lately.

For bait fishermen, herring has been the ticket. Try jigging for your own if you can - fresh is always best. Anchovies and squid strips are good backups.

As for hot spots, Jeff Head has been producing well on the outgoing tide. The north side of Point No Point is worth a look on the incoming. For you shore anglers, try casting from the Edmonds pier or Redondo Beach - I've heard good things about both lately.

Remember, starting tomorrow the limit will be 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!
