About this listen

 Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for all things rod and reel in the Puget Sound. It's a crisp winter morning in Seattle, light and variable winds around 5 knots, waves under 2 feet—perfect for gettin' out there without freezin' your tail off. Sunrise hit at 7:43 AM, sunset's 5:00 PM, so you've got solid daylight to chase 'em.

Tides today per Tide-Forecast.com: low at 2:35 AM (4.35 ft), high 8:58 AM (12.28 ft), low 4:05 PM (1.49 ft), evenin' high 10:38 PM (8.69 ft). Best bites durin' major times 5:56-7:56 AM (moon down) and 6:38-8:38 PM (moon up), minors at 9:19-10:19 AM moonset and 7:08-8:08 PM moonrise. Fish are average active, but winter patterns hold.

Recent catches? Locals report steady coho salmon trollin' strong—silver jigs and glow squid jigs killin' it for coho and squid at night, per Puget Sound tackle pros. Perch by the dozens on dropshot rigs with scented tube jigs for panfish action. Roe on egg loops is deadly bait for salmon and steelhead drifts. Bass and trout hittin' spinnerbaits too. Keep clear of Fishermen's Terminal—vessel Quaker Maid sank yesterday with a diesel spill, cleanup's ongoin' per WA Dept of Ecology.

Hot spots: Elliott Bay drop-offs for perch and silvers, or Possession Bar in central Sound for trollin' coho. Rig up silver salmon jigs, glow squid jigs, or roe—work the incoming tide changes.

Bundle up, check regs, and wet a line!
