Good morning Puget Sound anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your fishing report for Monday, November 3rd, 2025. The clocks may have ticked further into fall, but there’s still plenty of action if you’re ready for brisk air, wet decks, and that unmistakable autumn Puget Sound atmosphere.

Let’s talk tides first. Today’s high tide hits at 10:59 am, peaking at 9.15 feet, with the next low tide rolling through at 3:51 pm around 7.61 feet. Evening anglers can catch another high at 6:56 pm at 8.14 feet. These mellow, fall tides don’t bring the wildest swings, but they do keep bait moving and fish feeding—a classic Puget Sound November pattern. With a tidal coefficient in the low thirties, current flow is moderate, so look for structure and pinch points to find actively feeding fish.

Weather-wise, keep your rain gear handy. It’s a typical gray start with light rain, full cloud cover, and temps dancing between 40 and 48 degrees. Winds are manageable at 6 mph, gusting to 10. The sun will be up from 7:47 am to 5:59 pm, though you won’t see much of it through the clouds. Water temps are steady at 54°F, perfect for late coho, cutthroat, and the odd lingering chinook. With daylight growing shorter, your best bet is timing your outings around those peak tidal windows.

Now for the main event: what’s biting? Reports from local tackle shops and recent logs say anglers are pulling in decent numbers of blackmouth—Puget Sound’s winter chinook—especially out toward Possession Bar and Southworth. Several boaters hit their two-fish limits trolling 3-inch green/glow spoons and Pesca hoochies behind 11-inch Pro-Troll flashers. Cut plug herring fished deep (90-150 feet) on the outgoing tide has also put chrome in the box.

Resident coho are still in the mix for folks working south end beaches near Dash Point and Brown’s Point, particularly on a flooding tide early in the morning. Try a 3/8-ounce pink Buzz Bomb or a Chartreuse Glo Point Wilson Dart and keep those retrieves quick—a lot of these fish are chasing sandlance. Fly anglers working sparse Clouser Minnows are connecting with good-sized sea-run cutthroat between Point No Point and Lincoln Park, with the top of the incoming tide making all the difference.

Saltwater perch, flounder, and the odd cabezon are coming out of the calm, rocky shallows near Edmonds Marina and Shilshole Bay for those fishing Gulp! sandworms or fresh shrimp bits on dropper rigs.

For bait, the classic tray herring is a must-have for your salmon trolling, but don’t overlook squirt imitations or UV hoochies if you’re after chinook. Beach and pier anglers doing best are sling-shotting 1/2-ounce Dungeness jigs or curly tail grubs in motor oil, white, and pink. If you prefer soaking bait, fresh peeled shrimp or mussel works for bottom species.

Your local hot spots today:
- **Possession Bar**: Consistent blackmouth action, especially during late-morning high tide transitions.
- **Dash Point Pier**: Still a shot at resident coho and hungry searuns—bring a fast-action rod and cover water.
- **Edmonds Marina Jetty**: A reliable bet for mixed bottom fish if you want steady bites and a shot at cabezon.

Remember, crabbing season is winding down but still producing some keepers around Port Susan and the south end of Whidbey—check the regs before dropping your pots.

That’s the wrap for today’s Puget Sound action. Thank you for tuning in to Artificial Lure’s fishing report—tight lines and safe returns out there! Be sure to subscribe for more daily updates and expert local info.
