About this listen

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure comin' at ya with your Puget Sound fishin' report for Sunday, January 25th. Light drizzle's hangin' around with temps at 41°F, risin' to 46°F max—cloud cover's 100%, humidity 93%, winds light at 5-10 knots from the north easin' off. Water's sittin' at 49°F, perfect for winter bites. Sun's up at 7:58 AM, down at 4:33 PM, givin' ya about 8.5 hours of daylight.

Tides today: high at around 13 feet early mornin', droppin' to low mid-day near 7 feet, then evenin' high at 10.5 feet per Tideschart.com. Best fishin' windows are major from 5:56-7:56 AM opposin' lunar transit and 6:38-8:38 PM lunar transit; minors 9:19-10:19 AM moonset and 7:08-8:08 PM moonrise. Fish are active in these—NOAA says average day, but currents'll move 'em.

Recent catches? Perch by the dozens on dropshot rigs with hooks on dropper, steelhead hittin' roe tied egg-loop style, and coho salmon drift-fishin' Dick Nites. Pink salmon beach runs are windin' down but still grabbin'. Crab's hot too—Puget Sound Dungeness pots are full. No big salmon numbers yet, but winter trout and perch limits easy.

Top lures: Brad's Wiggler plugs for steelhead, Dick Nite spoons for driftin' salmon. Bait-wise, fresh roe on egg loops can't be beat for salmon/steelhead—quarter-size chunks with skein membrane. Perch love worms or shrimp on dropshots.

Hot spots: Hit Gig Harbor south Sound for perch and crab—boatin' culture's strong there. Or try near Fishermen's Terminal, but watch for cleanup from that Quaker Maid sinkin'—diesel spill boomed off, no shoreline hits yet per Washington Dept of Ecology.

Bundle up, check your gear, and get out there safe—fish don't bite sittin' home.
