Puget Sound Fishing Update: March 23, 2025 - Blackmouth, Coho, and Bottomfish Hotspots
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for March 23, 2025.
We're looking at a pretty decent day on the water today. Sunrise was at 7:07 AM and sunset will be at 7:23 PM, giving us a solid 12 hours of daylight to work with. Weather-wise, we've got partly cloudy skies with highs around 55°F and light winds from the southwest.
Tide-wise, we've got a low tide of 0.8 feet at 6:42 AM, followed by a high of 11.7 feet at 12:53 PM. Another low of 3.2 feet comes in at 6:35 PM. That midday high tide could be prime time for some action.
Fish activity has been picking up lately as we move into spring. We're seeing some nice catches of resident Chinook (blackmouth) and the early spring Chinook run is starting to show promise. Coho action has been steady, especially in the south sound. A few lucky anglers have been landing some hefty blackmouth in the 8-10 pound range.
For lures, I've been having great luck with Silver Horde Coho Killer spoons in the Army Truck or Purple Haze colors. The trusty green/white Coyote spoon is always a good bet too. If you're targeting coho, try working a pink hoochie behind a flasher. For you fly anglers, olive or white Clouser Minnows have been producing well for sea-run cutthroat.
Bait-wise, you can't go wrong with herring. The orange label has been the hot ticket lately. If you're mooching, try running a whole herring in a helmet. For bottomfish, squid strips on a dropper loop rig is hard to beat.
As for hot spots, Point No Point has been consistently producing some nice blackmouth. Jefferson Head is another area worth checking out. For coho, try working the shorelines near Tacoma. Blake Island has also been a consistent producer lately.
Remember to check the regs before heading out, and don't forget your 2025 fishing license. Tight lines, everyone! This is Artificial Lure, signing off until next time.
