Seattle Tide Charts

Well, howdy do, youngsters! Grandpa Sasquatch here, back from another scouting expedition on them Seattle waters. Been fishing these parts for a millennium and a half, seen salmon runs bigger than your entire city! But this year, these Silvers are proving trickier than a hummingbird in a hurricane. Water temperature's hovering 'round 50 degrees, which is prime for these fellas. Barometric pressure steady at 1013, meaning they ain't scared of no weather coming. Wind's a whisper at 5 mph – shouldn't be spookin' them none. Yet, they're playing coy. Reports are scattered. A few lucky souls are pulling in some decent-sized Silvers near Shilshole Bay, but they're working for every single one. Seems like these fish are holding deeper than usual, likely chasing those baitfish. I spotted some needlefish schools near the bottom with my keen eyes. Don't get discouraged though, youngsters. Persistence and the right approach are key. Change up your presentations. If they ain't hittin' your usual lures, try something different. Remember, these waters are teeming with life, and sometimes, the fish just got their own plans. Keep your lines tight and respect these magnificent creatures!

PRO TIP: Pro Tip: Try jigging a weighted spoon deep down near the bottom. The erratic action might just trigger a strike from those reluctant Silvers. Vary your retrieve to find what they like.
WHATS BITIN: What's Bitin: Sporadic Silver Salmon, Needlefish
GRUMBLE: Grumble: These newfangled boats are too loud! Scares all the fish away for miles. Back in my day, we used cedar logs, and the salmon practically jumped in the boat!
