Puget Sound Fishing Report: Coho Bites, Crab Pots, and Orca Sightings
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for Tuesday, November 25th.
The water’s running cold, but you’re in luck—the bite is still on. This morning, we’ve got patchy rain in the forecast, temps hovering right around 49 degrees, and not much wind to knock you around—just about 9 miles per hour. The water temp’s coming in at a brisk 53°F. Sunrise hit at 7:25 AM, and you’ll be casting in daylight until sunset at 4:27 PM—so, make sure you make the most of that short November window, especially as the higher tides line up through early afternoon.
Tidewise, according to NOAA, low tide bottomed out just after midnight, with a solid high at 8:27 AM, ahead of another lower swing in the early afternoon. That means your best window for salmon is right at that early high this morning or that moving water around lunchtime.
Folks have been reporting good action on the late coho—especially out toward Port Angeles and Sekiu, where catches have been solid. Green and silver flashers paired with hoochies are the ticket, but you can’t go wrong with plug-cut herring or a bit of cured roe if you’re running the rivers and estuaries. If you’re bobber fishing for perch—or even casting for some of the deepwater resident bass—small jigs and worms or a simple piece of nightcrawler under a float are pulling the numbers. Gone Fishing Northwest has been backing that approach all week.
Now, on the crab front, Dungeness season is open and the deeper channels are giving up pots full of keepers—especially around Whidbey and the South Sound. The classic combo of chicken necks or fish heads for bait is working. The gear shops in La Conner and Langley have been selling out almost as fast as the crabbers are hauling them in. If you like surf perch, bobbers over the eelgrass beds near the docks are working; worms and small plastics are your go-to.
As for the hot spots today, Langley on Saratoga Passage has been one of the most consistent. The public dock is easy access, and heavy with baitfish—the gray whales feeding close to shore mean there’s plenty of food in the water, which brings in the coho and sea-run cutthroat. Another can’t-miss is La Conner, right on the Swinomish Channel. Tidal flow there mixes salt and fresh water, pulling in a mix of salmon, perch, and the occasional bonus flounder or bass. If you’re running long, the east end of Possession Bar is worth poking around, especially for those persistent blackmouth.
A quick note for boaters: the Center for Whale Research says all three orca pods—J, K, and L—have been active lately in the Sound. Give ‘em plenty of room if you see dorsal fins break the surface, and remember, where the orcas are, the salmon won’t be far off.
That’s the scoop for today. Thanks for tuning in—don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a tide or a bite. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
