When the weather begins to break in the Pacific Northwest and we transition to warmer temps and blue skies here in Seattle, there is one thing that comes to mind for the angler. Lingcod! May 1st is opening day for lingcod fishing in the Puget Sound, Seattle - a day that we look forward to every year!

When the month of April rolls around, we are in search of the early Spring Chinook that show up in the Puget Sound in limited numbers. April fishing consists of a mix between blackmouth (Winter Chinook salmon) and early Spring Chinook salmon. These two fish congregate in the same areas and their common denominator is their urge to feed and get big and fatten up.

As March rolls around, we get glimpses of spring weather with sunny skies and warming temperatures, which bring spawning herring (bait fish) into the Puget Sound in abundance. Following those herring are hungry king salmon that are eager to fatten up for their summer migration up various rivers for their own spawning season.

During February, we continue chasing Blackmouth (Winter king/chinook salmon) while larger, more mature Chinook salmon begin filtering into the Puget Sound. It may be cold, but if you can tough it out you will be rewarded with some quality fish, both in size and taste.

As the holidays wind down and we turn over the leaf for a new year, we focus our fishing efforts on targeting blackmouth (Winter king salmon) on the Puget Sound in Seattle. Start 2026 the right way with a winter fishing charter!
