Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 12:9 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

    Proximity:

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

Tide Coefficient at 12:02 pm is 90
For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Kingston

Kingston, Washington sits on the northeast corner of the Kitsap Peninsula, facing Apple Tree Cove and the main shipping lanes of central Puget Sound. This location funnels bait and gamefish past town all year, making Kingston a strategic home base for anglers targeting salmon, lingcod, halibut, and nearshore bottomfish, plus strong shore and pier opportunities right in town.

Seasonal patterns around Kingston track classic Puget Sound timing. Late winter into early spring sees blackmouth (resident Chinook) hugging the bottom on dropoffs in Apple Tree Cove and off the Kingston ferry lanes; downriggers and slow trolling close to bottom with spoons or hootchies is the go-to approach. From summer into early fall, migratory Chinook and coho push along the east Kitsap shoreline; many boat anglers work the edges of Possession Bar, Point No Point, and the Kingston-Edmonds ferry corridor, keying on tide changes and bait marks.

Every odd-numbered year, pink salmon flood this stretch of Puget Sound, stacking off points and shorelines within easy casting distance. Light spinning gear with 1/4–1/2 oz metal jigs or pink buzz bombs produces steady action from the Kingston shoreline and nearby access points. Chum salmon move through later in the fall; anglers focus on current edges and tide rips with flashy, slower presentations.

Habitat and structure are straightforward but important here. The main Kingston waterfront features steep dropoffs, heavy current, and ferry-induced chop. Salmon and baitfish track those breaks and seams. Just outside the cove, broken rock, ledges, and humps hold lingcod, rockfish (where open), and cabezon. Soft-bottom flats in slightly deeper water support flounder, cod, and sanddabs. Eelgrass and scattered kelp lines harbor perch, greenling, and juvenile baitfish, especially on smaller tides with good water clarity.

Techniques and tactics shift with target species:

  • Salmon trolling: Work along contours in 80–180 ft with downriggers, keeping gear 5–20 ft off bottom for Chinook. Spoons, hootchies, and small plug-cut herring behind flashers all produce. Speed is crucial—aim for 2–3 knots over ground, adjusting for current so the lure has a tight, pulsing action.
  • Motor mooching and drift fishing: In lighter traffic areas near Kingston, slow-drift or controlled-motor with cut plug herring, dropping to bottom and reeling up through the water column. Watch your sonar for suspended bait and adjust depth often.
  • Shore and pier casting: From public access near the Kingston Ferry, cast metal jigs, spinners, or small plugs for coho and pinks. Favor morning and evening tides with moving water. Long rods (9–10 ft) and 15–20 lb braid help reach current seams beyond the first drop.
  • Bottomfish and lingcod: Target rocky structure, points, and humps outside the main ferry lanes. Bounce 4–8 oz lead-head jigs or metal pipe jigs tipped with soft plastics or bait, staying tight to the bottom and working cross-current. Short, sharp lifts trigger more strikes than long sweeps in Kingston’s fast water.
  • Flatfish and perch: On sand and mud flats, simple high-low rigs with small hooks and strips of clam, squid, or shrimp produce steady catches of flounder and sanddab. Around pilings and riprap, fish light leaders and small bait-tipped hooks for perch and greenling.

Tide and current timing is the real key in Kingston. Aim for the hour bracketing tide changes when current slackens slightly and bait stacks along edges. On hard-running tides, slide closer into Apple Tree Cove or tucked points where current breaks form. Clear, overcast mornings with a mild chop are ideal for salmon, while flat, sunny conditions can be excellent for sighting current seams and tide rips to position your boat or casting angles.

Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Kingston area

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 4 main harbours in this area.
