# Artificial Lure's Puget Sound Fishing Report

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Monday morning Puget Sound update, and let me tell you, conditions are shaping up interesting today.

**Water and Weather**

We've got a Small Craft Advisory in effect through late tonight, so if you're heading out, take it seriously. Winds are running south at 15 to 20 knots with gusts hitting 35 in the afternoon—that's going to kick up some chop. Waves are holding around 2 feet or less, so it's manageable for experienced anglers. Rain moves in this morning and picks up this afternoon, so...

We’re on a classic dark, short winter day around the Sound. Local forecasts from the National Weather Service are calling for mid‑40s to low‑50s, scattered showers, and light south to southwest wind, easing a bit in the afternoon. Cloud cover is heavy, so first light and last light mean more than the clock; expect usable gray light roughly 30 minutes before sunrise and after sunset.

According to tideschart dot com’s Puget Sound table, we’re on big winter swings: a deep pre‑dawn low followed...

We’re on small winter tides now.

We’re sitting under another wet Pacific blast, with the National Weather Service and local outlets talking about an atmospheric river and flooding in parts of western Washington. Expect **steady rain, low 50s, breezy south wind**, and dirty water in the rivers pushing more fish into the salt and closer to shore. According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, back‑to‑back systems are sliding over the Sound right now, so plan on fast‑changing barometer and plenty of runoff.

We’re riding big winter tides this week.

We’re riding a big winter tide swing this morning. The Seattle tide tables on Tides4Fishing show a strong flood peaking a little after sunrise with about a 12‑foot high, then easing to a mid‑day slack and another solid evening high. Those beefy exchanges push bait up onto the breaks and really light up the bite in the first couple hours of the flood and again right before that afternoon high.

This is Artificial Lure with your Puget Sound fishing report.

We woke up to a classic winter pattern on the Sound: low gray ceiling, light showers drifting through, and a lingering south breeze that’s finally backing off after last night’s small craft advisory, according to the National Weather Service marine forecast. Winds are easing into the 10–15 knot range today with 1–3 foot chop, so it’s fishable but still bumpy in the open stretches.

NOAA’s Seattle tide station shows a strong set of winter king tides rolling through: an early morning high over 12 feet, a mid‑day lo...

This is Artificial Lure with your Puget Sound fishing report.

Down on the central Sound, that incoming morning tide is the play, with a decent push mid‑morning that’s been lining up nicely with the low‑light window. Work the first couple hours after daylight, then again on the afternoon ebb if the wind lets you stay out. Winter fronts are marching through, so expect gray skies, scattered rain, and a stiff southerly that can stack up a short, ugly chop once it gets above 15 knots.

Sunrise is landing in the mid‑7 o’clock hour, with sunse...
