About this listen
Hey folks, this is your Friday morning update from the Sound. We're looking at some decent conditions to get out there if you've been itching to wet a line.
**Weather & Tides**
Light winds are holding steady around 5 knots with waves staying at 2 feet or less across Puget Sound and Hood Canal. You'll want to watch for some dense fog rolling in tonight, so if you're planning an evening session, keep your running lights on and stay alert. Conditions are pretty manageable for small boaters launching from your local marina.
**What's Biting**
We're in winter mode right now, so salmon action isn't at its peak. However, the real story lately has been lingcod around Possession Bar over in Marine Area 9. Reports are coming in steady—about one lingcod for every three rods, which is right in line with seasonal averages. Live sand dabs are your go-to, though artificial swim baits and jigs like Lancers will definitely work if you're not keen on live bait.
If you're trolling for anything that swims, flashers paired with hoochies or cut herring are your bread and butter on boat setups. For shore fishing, buzz bombs have proven reliable.
**Best Spots**
Head to **Possession Bar** if you're targeting lingcod—it's producing consistent action. If you want to explore deeper, rocky areas north up Admiralty Inlet near various bays and points hold fish year-round.
