  • Summary

  • If you're planning to head out to Puget Sound around Seattle today, December 29, 2024, here's what you need to know:

    ### Tidal Report
    Today's tide times are similar to yesterday's, with a high tide at around 6:04 AM reaching about 14.19 feet, followed by a low tide at 11:24 AM at approximately 9.8 feet. The next high tide is at 3:23 PM, hitting around 13.33 feet, and the final low tide of the day is at 10:59 PM, dipping to about -1.45 feet.

    ### Weather and Daylight
    Expect a chilly and possibly rainy day, typical for this time of year. Sunrise is at around 7:58 AM, and sunset is at 4:29 PM. Check the local weather forecast for any updates, but be prepared for light rain showers and cloud cover.

    ### Fish Activity
    Anglers have been reporting a good number of coho and chum salmon catches, along with some sea-run cutthroat trout. The "B run" coho are still returning through the area, making December a great time for salmon fishing.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For coho and chum salmon, use lures like spoons, plugs, and jigs. Hoochies and bait such as herring or anchovies are also effective. For sea-run cutthroat, try using small jigs, spinners, or fly fishing with patterns that mimic baitfish.

    ### Hot Spots
    Some of the best places to fish in Puget Sound include the areas around Olympia's Budd Inlet, where the tidal changes can concentrate fish. Another hotspot is the North Puget Sound, particularly around the Snohomish and Skagit rivers, where coho and chum salmon are abundant.

    Make sure to check the latest fishing regulations and any emergency rules before you head out. With the right gear and knowledge of the tides, today should be a good day to get out on the water. Good luck
