Puget Sound Fishing Report Nov 19, 2025: Chum, Coho, Steelhead, and Bottomfish Bites
# Artificial Lure's Puget Sound Fishing Report - November 19, 2025
Well hey there, folks, it's Artificial Lure coming to you with your Wednesday morning fishing report for Puget Sound. Let me cut right to it.
**Tides and Conditions**
We've got a high tide this morning at 5:08 AM sitting at 9.61 feet, so if you're planning an afternoon session, you'll want to time it around the next low tide. Today's shaping up to be an average fishing day overall, but that doesn't mean you can't find success if you know where to look.
**What's Biting**
The chum run is solid right now, especially near river mouths and tidal flows. Coho are moving through the sound too, which is always exciting. Steelhead are on the menu for winter fishing, and if you're feeling ambitious, bottomfish like lingcod are hanging around structure. Keep in mind though—the Puget Sound Partnership reminds us that Chinook runs are still below recovery targets, so practice catch-and-release on wild fish.
**Lures and Bait**
For chum, drift pink or chartreuse corkies and yarn, or go with large marabou jigs under floats. Coho anglers should have pink and chartreuse Buzz Bombs in your kit, plus those classic 3 to 4 inch spoons like Coho Killers or Ace-Hi Flies behind a dodger. For salmon mooching, cut-plug herring on a mooching rig absolutely works. Light jigs are proving deadly too—try 3/4-ounce minnow jigs in silvers and chartreuse, especially near the bottom in low light. For bottomfish, a big white swimbait jigged along structure will get you results.
**Hot Spots**
Hit Elliott Bay early if you can—it's close to the city and productive. Portage Bay is another solid choice with good structure for both salmon and bottomfish.
