Chinook Salmon
Chasing Chinook salmon around Bainbridge Island puts you in the heart of Puget Sound's migratory routes. These powerful fish are often intercepted as they make their way to spawning rivers. The key to success is understanding the seasonal forage and water conditions. Peak season is typically late summer and early fall. Trolling with downriggers is a common tactic, allowing you to present your lures at the depths where salmon are holding. Spoons, hoochies, and plugs are all effective choices. Focus your efforts near structure like underwater points and drop-offs. A practical tip: Check the WDFW website for emergency regulations as seasons and areas can change quickly. The Winslow Wharf provides a convenient launch point for accessing productive Chinook fishing grounds around Bainbridge Island.
