  • Puget Sound Fishing Report for May 25, 2025: Salmon, Lingcod, and Halibut Bites Strong

    Puget Sound Fishing Report for May 25, 2025: Salmon, Lingcod, and Halibut Bites Strong
    May 25 2025
    Good morning! This is Artificial Lure checking in with your Puget Sound fishing report for May 25, 2025. The day looks promising for anglers in and around Puget Sound, so let's dive into the details.

    Today, the tides are favorable for fishing, with the main high tide occurring mid-morning and the low tide late afternoon. The current weather is mild and partly cloudy, with temperatures expected to reach the mid-60s Fahrenheit by midday and a light breeze coming from the northwest. Sunrise was around 5:15 am, and sunset will be at about 8:55 pm, giving plenty of daylight for fishing adventures.

    Fish activity has been solid in recent days, especially for salmon and lingcod. The 2025 salmon return forecasts are excellent, and anglers are reporting good catches of Chinook and Coho salmon near the mouth of the Snohomish River and around the San Juan Islands. Lingcod fishing opened May 1 and remains productive, particularly around rocky structure and reefs in the central and southern parts of Puget Sound. The lingcod daily limit is one per angler, with minimum size of 26 inches and maximum of 36 inches.

    Halibut season is underway in the Puget Sound and adjacent areas as well. The daily limit for halibut is one fish of any size, and anglers need a catch card to record their catch. Hot spots for halibut include the Eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca near Hein Bank and Protection Island, as well as around Sekiu and Clallam Bay to the west. These areas offer good bottom structure favored by halibut.

    For bait and lures, the best bets right now are hoochies, spoons, and flashers for salmon. Anchovies and herring work well as bait. For lingcod and bottomfish like rockfish, soft plastics and jigs tipped with squid or anchovy strips are highly effective. For halibut, large circle hooks baited with herring or salmon belly chunks are your go-to.

    Two local hot spots to try today are Possession Bar near the southern end of Admiralty Inlet, known for excellent salmon and lingcod action, and the deeper waters around the San Juan Islands, especially near the banks and ledges where bottomfish and halibut have been plentiful.

    Remember, all Puget Sound marine anglers must use barbless hooks for lingcod, bottomfish, and halibut, so make sure your gear is compliant. Good luck out there! With the right tides, weather, and bait, you should have a rewarding day on the water.

  • Puget Sound Fishing Report: Chinook, Coho, and Cutthroat Thrive in Late-May Conditions

    Puget Sound Fishing Report: Chinook, Coho, and Cutthroat Thrive in Late-May Conditions
    May 24 2025
    Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Puget Sound fishing report for Saturday, May 24, 2025.

    Today’s sunrise came early at 5:23 a.m., and sunset will be around 8:47 p.m., so you have plenty of daylight to get lines in the water. The weather is shaping up to be classic late-May—partly cloudy with daytime highs pushing the low 60s and a mild breeze out of the southwest, great for a day on the Sound.

    Tides are in our favor today, with an early-morning low right around sunrise and a decent mid-morning incoming. Fish are generally more active on incoming tides, so time your trip accordingly for the best bite.

    Let’s talk fish activity. The creel reports from the Puget Sound this week show solid catches of resident blackmouth (immature Chinook) in Area 10 (Seattle-Bremerton), especially around Shilshole and in the waters near Edmonds. Most boats are reporting between one and two keeper Chinook per trip, with a handful of hatchery coho in the mix as well[1]. The sea-run cutthroat action has been consistent for shore anglers, especially along the west side of Whidbey and on the beaches near Lincoln Park.

    As for lures and bait, you can’t go wrong right now with 3- to 4-inch herring or anchovy trolled behind a green or purple haze flasher for Chinook. Try running your gear 90 to 120 feet down in the shipping lanes, or off the bottom near Possession Bar and Jeff Head—two hot spots that have seen steady action this week. For coho and cutthroat, small Coho Killers, needlefish hoochies in white or pink, and sand lance-pattern flies have all produced fish. If you’re fly fishing off the beach, try an olive clouser or a small chum baby pattern on an intermediate line[4].

    Halibut reports have tapered off as much of the spring season is winding down, but deep water haunts off Bush Point and Double Bluff are still worth a look, especially if you can get out early before boat traffic picks up[5].

    Best bets today: Hit Possession Bar on the incoming tide for Chinook and Jeff Head for a mixed bag of resident salmon. For the shore crowd, Lincoln Park and Richmond Beach are holding cutthroat and the odd early coho.

    Overall, fishing is solid right now and only heating up as we head into June. Make sure to check the latest WDFW rules before heading out, especially with some area closures and selective gear regulations in play[2]. Good luck and tight lines out there!

  • Late Spring Fishing Bonanza - Puget Sound 2025 Update

    Late Spring Fishing Bonanza - Puget Sound 2025 Update
    May 23 2025
    This is Artificial Lure checking in with your Puget Sound fishing report for Friday, May 23, 2025.

    We’re kicking off the long weekend with classic Pacific Northwest late-spring conditions—expect morning clouds burning off to filtered sunshine, calm seas, and air temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s. Sunrise came at 5:23 am this morning and sunset will be at 8:48 pm, giving plenty of daylight to chase fish. Tides are working in our favor: a morning high of around 12 feet at 7:26 am dropped to a -0.9 foot low at 1:43 pm, and another big high will swing in close to 13.5 feet just before 10 pm. Those tide changes are your best shot—fish move and feed with the water, especially around the bottom half of the outgoing and first push of the incoming tide[5].

    Lingcod season is open and the bite has been reliable across Marine Areas 5 through 13, with hotspots around Point Defiance, Possession Bar, and the Tacoma Narrows. Anglers are reporting fish in the 28 to 34 inch range, mostly on lead-head jigs tipped with herring or curlytail plastics. Don’t forget: barbless hooks are mandatory and stick to shallower than 120 feet for bottomfish[2].

    Chinook action continues on the upswing in the Tacoma-Vashon corridor and South Sound. Recent creel reports out of Point Defiance and the Tacoma boathouses show steady catch rates of hatchery kings, most caught trolling 3.5-inch herring J-plugs or anchovy rigs behind flashers. Early coho are showing sporadically and will pick up as we hit June[5].

    The big story this season is the predicted return of nearly 7.8 million pink salmon—almost double the average. We’re not seeing pinks yet, but it’s shaping up to be an epic summer, so gear up with pink buzz bombs, mini-hoochies, and bead-chain spinners for when they arrive in force[3][5].

    Halibut remains open in Marine Areas 5 and 6, and Sekiu plus the eastern Strait banks are solid bets. Drift a large herring or octopus-tipped jig right off the bottom on the deep edges for your best shot. Remember the daily limit is one fish of any size, and make sure your catch card is up to date[4].

    Hot spots today: Point Defiance (for Chinook and lingcod) and Possession Bar (for lingcod and halibut). Early risers also had luck off Edmonds and Brown’s Point.

    Best baits and lures: Herring and anchovy rigs, white and chartreuse curlytail jigs for bottomfish, and the trusty green or cop-car flasher for salmon. As summer heats up, have a few pink patterns ready for the pinks.

    That’s the word on the water. Tight lines, everyone, and respect the limits—we’re in for a banner season.
