Good morning, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your Thursday Puget Sound fishing report for November 27th, 2025.

Let's start with the tides. We're looking at a low tide at 2:36 AM this morning at 0.69 feet, with a high tide coming in at 9:45 AM hitting 11.35 feet. Down in Olympia at Budd Inlet, expect low tide around 6:04 PM at 6.94 feet and high tide at 9:57 PM at 9.68 feet. Over in Oak Harbor and Kingston, we've got similar patterns with lows around 2:50 to 2:53 AM. These are solid conditions for your morning push.

Sunrise is at 7:32 AM with sunset at 4:21 PM, so we're working with limited daylight this time of year—get out there early.

The fishing action has been solid recently. Blackmouth salmon, coho, and chum are all biting strong despite the wet weather we've been experiencing. The bite's been consistent enough to make this worth your time even with the rain in the forecast.

For your gear, focus on artificial lures that mimic herring and sand eels—chartreuse and white patterns are working well right now. If you're running bait, fresh herring and anchovies remain your bread and butter for the bottom dwellers and salmon alike.

I'd recommend hitting the northern waters around Whidbey Basin and Possession Sound if you can access them. These areas have been producing consistently for anglers willing to put in the work.

One heads-up: we've had reports of invasive European green crabs spotted recently in Skagit Bay and Possession Sound, so be aware when handling your catch and crab traps.

Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure. Make sure to subscribe for daily updates on conditions and hotspots. Get all your gear before you leave the dock.
