What Makes Salmon Bite? The Science Behind Tides, Moon Phases, Scent & More

In this episode of the Fishing for a Reason podcast, we’re diving into the science behind what triggers Pacific salmon—especially coho and chinook—to bite in saltwater during ocean staging. If you’ve ever asked yourself why the bite is hot one day and cold the next, this episode is for you. Filmed in Anacortes, Washington and the surrounding San Juan Islands, this deep-dive blends biology, storytelling, and tactical insights to help you make smarter decisions on the water. In this episode, we cover: How tides and currents affect bait—and why that matters for your gear What the data actually says about moon phases and salmon activity How barometric pressure changes influence salmon behavior Why scent matters (a lot more than you think) What makes a lure presentation irresistible—even when fish aren’t actively feeding Whether you’re new to salmon fishing or refining your approach, this episode will help you fish with more intention, awareness, and results.
