We’ve been having some great Chinook and Coho fishing already in Puget Sound! More options open up in July! This could be shaping up to be a banner year for Seattle fishing.
I hope everyone is having a pleasant Holiday season, and ready for 2016! Fishing in the Seattle area has been up and down with mid season closures in parts of Puget Sound. We had some good fishing in October in the central part of the Sound, and hope for a possible opener in MA 9, January 16. Winter crabbing was great when the weather cooperated. We had a feast on Christmas Eve. Looking forward to Steelhead fishing on the Olympic Peninsula rivers. And further on to Spring Chinook. Parts of the Greasy Spoon gang made it out for Tuna in late October. We had amazing seas and a period of wide open fishing. Happy New Year and tight lines!

Opening day for Chinook tomorrow!! Many a soul will lose sleep tonight planning and scheming where to be???? My best advice is to fish deep! Look for bait in the 120-240′ depths. Fish on the bottom, 120-280′ on downriggers!! Plugs, spoons, hootchies have been producing well. Take a peek at heavy afternoon incoming tides!! Could be a massive bite on incoming in afternoon in Point no Point and Pilot point areas !!
Seattle Salmon Fishing

A little catching up to do on posts! It’s been a great season with Lings, Kings, Silvers and lots of wildlife. Were still catching Kings, and silvers are just making a showing. It’s been a lot of deep fishing with warmer waters in the Sound.
Lingcod fishing is underway now in Puget Sound. Fishing is fun for these toothy, hard fighting and tasty fish. Live bait such as Sand Dabs and Shiner perch tend to produce lots of bites. Capt. Matt
Olympic Peninsula fishing

A strange winter this year. Not enough water in January, then enough to float an ark in Feb. fishing has been fare lately on the Peninsula on most rivers. Little signs of spring over the past few days has Spring Chinook on my mind. LingCod opens May 1st and should provide a good fishery this year.

Puget Sound Chinook and OP Steelhead

It’s been a interesting winter here in the Great NorthWest. Dry and mild temps have been conducive to outdoor activities. My fruit trees think its spring, and damn Peck Peck is starting to patrol his drumming stations. Fishing on the Olympic Peninsula has been good for Wild Steelhead. Hopefully we get some more rain soon to keep the rivers in fishing shape. Chinook (blackmouth) fishing has been fair to good in marine areas 9 and 10.
Happy New Year

This wheel seems to be spinning faster with each year that goes by. Happy New Year to all! 2013 was a big year. We lost some great people, and gained many more. It was a great year of fishing in the Pacific North West! I had the pleasure of meeting great folks from as far away as New Zealand, China, India, Japan, New Foundland, Ireland and all over North America. Picked up some good stories, and a few funny jokes. What is best is meeting on common ground, sharing the passion for the outdoors. Looking forward to 2014! So far it’s been a great year. We welcomed it in, fishing in a favorite spot on the Sound. A glorious sun rise and calm water, a few good fish, and many laughs and stories with good people.
