Puget Sound's Promising Fall Salmon Fishing Scene - Tides, Weather, and Hot Spots
As of October 11, 2024, the fishing scene in Puget Sound is looking promising, especially with the fall season in full swing.
### Tidal and Weather Conditions
Today, the tide is expected to be relatively favorable, with a high tide at around 8:30 AM and a low tide at 2:30 PM. The weather forecast indicates partly cloudy skies with a gentle breeze, making it an ideal day to be out on the water. Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 6:14 PM, giving you ample daylight to enjoy your fishing trip.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a decent amount of fish activity across various marine areas in Puget Sound. Anglers reported catching a mix of coho and chum salmon, with some areas also yielding a few chinook. For instance, in Marine Area 9, Admiralty Inlet, anglers caught several coho salmon, while in Marine Area 10, the Seattle-Bremerton area, coho and a few chum were the main catches.
### Best Lures and Bait
For coho salmon, using lures like spoons, especially those with a silver or pink finish, has been effective. Jigs tipped with herring or anchovies are also producing good results. If you're targeting chum salmon, try using jigs with a chartreuse or orange finish, as these colors tend to attract them well. For bait, live or cut herring and anchovies are top choices, as they mimic the natural prey of these salmon species.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots right now is the Armeni Public Ramp in Marine Area 9, where anglers have been catching a good number of coho salmon. Another spot is the Point Defiance Public Ramp in Marine Area 11, which has seen consistent catches of coho and some chum salmon.
### Additional Tips
Remember to check the local fishing regulations, as they can change. For example, sport crabbing has reopened in several marine areas from October 1 through December 31, but there are specific rules regarding trap setting and catch limits.
With the right gear and a bit of luck, today should be a great day to catch some of Puget Sound's fall-run salmon. Enjoy your time on the water
