  • As of October 17, 2024, the Puget Sound is offering some exciting fishing opportunities, especially for those targeting salmon. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect:

    ### Tidal and Weather Conditions
    Today, the tide is expected to be favorable, with the ebb tide being the most productive, especially around the tide changes. The sunrise is at about 7:30 AM, and sunset will be around 6:00 PM. The weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy with mild temperatures, making it a comfortable day on the water.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a decent amount of fish activity, particularly for Coho and Chinook salmon. The Coho run is looking strong this year, and many anglers reported catching these fish in the top 30 feet of water during the early hours. For Chinook, the deeper drop-offs, especially around Browns Point and Lyle Point on Anderson Island, were productive.

    ### Catch Reports
    Anglers reported catching a mix of Coho and Chinook salmon. Coho were abundant, with many hatchery fish being caught. Chinook catches were also decent, though the natural origin stocks are weaker this year. Blackmouth, typically found in the winter, were also caught in some areas, particularly around Point Gibson and Fox Island.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For Coho, trolling cutplug herring off downriggers or from a diving planer in the top 30 feet of water is highly effective. Using flasher and squid combinations or Silver Horde glow white 5″ rattle plugs also yielded good results. For Chinook, whole and cutplug fresh herring are the trusted baits, while a flasher with a Silver Horde Sonic Edge spoon or cutplug herring just above it is a popular setup.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Lyle Point on Anderson Island**: This area is known for its consistent king producers, especially around the tide changes where rips form off either side of the point.
    - **Browns Point**: The deep drop-offs here are ideal for Chinook, especially when baitfish are pushed into pockets on the outgoing tide.
    - **Point Gibson**: Troll the 90-foot water up the shoreline to the big rock on the beach, keeping an eye on your sonar due to the irregular bottom.

    Be aware that seals can be a problem in these areas, especially when multiple boats are present.

    Overall, it's shaping up to be a great day for fishing in the Puget Sound, with plenty of opportunities to catch some quality salmon.
