Puget Sound Seattle Fishing Report Today

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure bringing you today's Puget Sound fishing report for Monday, November 24th.

Let's start with the tides. We've got a low at 12:40 AM hitting negative 1.31 feet, then a solid high tide at 8:20 AM reaching 11.48 feet. We'll see another low around 1:52 PM at 8.14 feet, and a final high at 5:53 PM at 9.28 feet. Those morning and evening tides are gonna be prime time for movement and feeding.

Weather-wise, we're looking at mostly clear skies with just 5 percent cloud cover. Temperature's sitting around 53 degrees with winds at 6 miles per hour, gusting to 12. Water temp is a chilly 49 degrees, so dress in layers. Sunrise hits at 7:29 AM and sunset at 4:24 PM—that's a short window, so get out there early.

For activity, today's rated as average for fishing. Your major bite windows are from 6:45 to 8:45 AM and again from 7:24 to 9:24 PM. These align with lunar activity, so don't miss those windows.

Right now, Dungeness crab is hot in these waters, and sockeye reports are coming in regularly. Focus on jigging for rockfish in deeper channels and try casting small spoons and shrimp flies for coho. Live herring and sand shrimp are working great as bait.

I'd recommend hitting Shelter Cove or Case Inlet—both are consistently productive this time of year with good structure and current flow.

Get out there and tight lines, folks. Thanks for tuning in and don't forget to subscribe. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

Puget Sound anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Friday, November 21st, 2025 fishing report. Early morning tides peaked just after sunrise, with the high at 6:30 am around 11.6 feet, a midday low at 11:49 am about 8 feet, and another high swinging in at 4:05 pm a touch under 10 feet—so prime bite times hit when tides are moving, especially in the couple hours bracketing sunrise and sunset. First light was at 7:24 am, sunset comes quick at 4:26 pm, giving you a tight window to work—make those hours count, especially around the major lunar peak from 6:45–8:45 am.

Gray skies and that classic damp November weather are hanging in at about 44 degrees, with patchy rain drifting over the Sound, making fish more willing to chase a well-presented bait or lure. Water temps are steady near 54, perfect for late coho, feisty chum, a bite or two from sea-run cutthroat, and some winter chinook showing deeper off Possession Bar, West Point, and Southworth.

Recent reports from local tackle shops and fishingreportstoday.com show anglers still banging out coho limits near Tulalip and Edmonds, with fish ranging 5–8 pounds and the robust ones nudging ten. Chum are running strong in the mid-teens and lighting up river mouths from Chico Creek to Kennedy Creek—those big tigers are aggressive right now and well worth upsizing your gear if you want to wrestle a few onto the beach.

Best bet for coho: toss classic Puget Sound hardware like the Coho Killer in green/glow, chartreuse Buzz Bombs, or Gibbs Croc spoons in blue and chrome. Pink Rotators and herring (either mooched or rigged under a float) have picked up more than a few, especially when tides swing and bait fish push shallow. If you’re after chum, drift flashy pink or chartreuse corkies and yarn, or run big marabou jigs under a float as they stage in tidal pockets.

Bottomfish and blackmouth (our resident winter chinook) are waking up too. Drop mooched herring, flasher-hoochie combos in glow or green/white, or big curlytail grubs in 3 to 6 oz curlytail jigheads if you’re fishing structure. Squid are starting to stack up for bottomfish—you’ll want light jigs for those, especially around the West Seattle piers at night.

Hot spots for today:

- Point No Point: Solid coho bite in the morning, plus a chance at early blackmouth on the deep ledges. Toss jigs and spoons or mooch herring deep.

- Chico Creek mouth: Chum salmon surge—late morning, especially as outgoing tide turns, marabou jigs and flashy yarn.

- West Seattle piers: Mixed bags all day—shaker blackmouth, a stray coho, flounder and squid after dark.

For bait, cured salmon roe is tough to beat if you’re targeting steelhead and cutthroat in tidal rivers. Herring remains king for salmon, squid gets the nod for bottom dwellers, and don’t overlook oily salmon scraps if you’re dropping crab pots.

As always, handle wild fish with care—Chinook stocks are still below recovery numbers, so follow all regs and let wilds go to keep these runs healthy for years to

Artificial Lure here giving you the inside scoop for November 20, 2025, a damp and promising Thursday morning across Puget Sound. The fall fishing scene’s in classic Seattle mode—cool, gray, but loaded with opportunities if you know where to look.

Weather coming in this morning is typical late November: clouds thick, drizzling off-and-on, temps hovering in the low 40s, and that trademark Sound breeze from the northeast around 8 knots. Bundle up and expect slick decks and sticky rain gear all day. According to the Washington Marine Forecast, those winds should hold steady, and you may see a touch more drizzle heading into the evening.

Today’s tidal cycles give us a textbook bite window—Seattle area tide charts show a big morning high tide peaking just before 6 a.m. at nearly 10 feet, dipping to a mid-day low by early afternoon, then rolling in another good push as evening approaches. That means strong current edges and pinch points will be stirring up bait, and that always brings predators close to structure and the beach.

First light hits the water at 7:14 a.m. Sunrise proper is 7:23, with sunset closing shop early at 4:33 p.m. That leaves only a short window for productive daylight fishing, so focus on the hour surrounding sunrise and sunset—especially when that tide’s moving.

Fish activity is still solid for November. Most recent catches, according to both Gone Fishing Northwest and the Puget Sound Seattle Daily Fishing Report, include:

- Coho salmon holding in good numbers—average size 5 to 8 pounds, with a few 10-pound bruisers in the mix. Most consistent action has been at Point No Point at daybreak on the incoming tide, and off Edmonds Marina trolling deep for those late runners.

- Chum salmon rushing in heavy, especially near river mouths like Chico Creek and the Kennedy system. These fish are aggressive and big—mid-teens are common right now.

- A few blackmouth (resident Chinook) are being picked off in deeper water near Possession Bar and Southworth.

Best lures and baits this week: For coho, try casting 3/4-ounce minnow jigs in silver or chartreuse, and if you’re trolling, work 3 to 4-inch spoons (Coho Killers or Ace-Hi Flies) behind a dodger. For the chum, swing marabou jigs under floats or drift pink and chartreuse yarn flies—don’t be afraid to upsize with heavier gear. Pier anglers are still hooking fish on pink and chartreuse Buzz Bombs and Vibrax spinners (size 4 or 5). If you’re still after blackmouth in the slots, nothing beats a mooched cut-plug herring or trolling a flasher-hoochie combo (glow-green and white are hot).

Bank and beach hotspots to circle today:

- Point No Point: Early coho and fresh chum, especially first light and slack tide. Beach casters are scoring with spoons and jigs.

- Edmonds Marina: Still seeing late coho action and the odd Chinook coming from deeper trolls, especially mid-channel.

- Chico Bay at the creek mouth: A chum salmon bonanza at the tide change.

- Shilshole Bay Breakwater: Blackmouth and

Good morning Puget Sound anglers, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your live fishing report for Seattle and the surrounding saltwater scene this Wednesday, November 19th, 2025.

First light broke today at 7:17 am and we’re looking at sunset around 4:29 pm. Weather’s classic November Sound: clouds rolled in, mild drizzle at times, with temps hovering in the low 50s. Nothing too gnarly on the radar—patchy wind from the south, mostly under 10 knots—so small craft should be fine, but bring rain gear. According to Fishingreminder, we’re sitting right in the First Quarter Moon with major bite windows from 6:29 to 8:29 this morning and again from 6:40 to 8:40 this evening. Those coincide nicely with the incoming tide, which peaked with a 10.66-foot high at 12:33 pm, bracketed by lows at 4:32 am (0.59 ft) and 7:39 pm (7.15 ft). The evening high is a modest 7.48 ft at 10:31 pm—classic Puget Sound winter ups and downs.

Let’s talk fish activity. November means the fall salmon runs have mostly wrapped, but late coho are still trickling in, and resident blackmouth (immature Chinook) have started biting in the Sound. Lingcod are closed for retention, but there’s solid bottomfish action to be had. According to recent local reports and chatter at Elliott Bay Marina, anglers have been landing nice blackmouth averaging 5 to 8 pounds, with the odd 10-pounder. The bite was best in the morning along rips and drop-offs. Folks working West Point and the oil docks off Edmonds picked up a few chrome-bright coho this past weekend, though those are tapering fast.

Bottomfishers are scoring on big pile perch, rockfish, and the occasional flounder around pilings and structure, especially at the wharves and marinas—Terminal 37 and Bell Harbor Marina in particular have been worth a shot. Small sharks have made a showing in northern Puget Sound again, most caught by accident on herring strips or baited sabikis.

For gear, trollers are finding success using 3" to 4" spoons—think Irish Cream or Cop Car pattern--behind a green or red flasher. Classic hoochies, white or glow with a herring strip, are still producing at 80-120 feet. If you’re running bait, plug-cut herring is the standard, but an anchovy rigged on a mooching setup is getting good results too. As for beach fishers and pier regulars, metal jigs like the 2oz Point Wilson Dart or Buzz Bomb in pearl and pink have drawn strikes, especially around dawn and dusk. If you’re after perch or flounder, drop a shrimp-tipped jig near structure and watch the action pick up.

Hot spots to check out:

- **Elliott Bay**: Still kicking out the best catch rates for resident blackmouth, especially trolling near the aquarium or outer bay, and always worth working some structure for late coho.

- **West Point**: Popular for boaters fishing the tide change; troll at 80-140 feet with flashers and spoons on the incoming.

- **Edmonds Oil Docks**: Shore and pier access with a shot at blackmouth or late, lost coho.

- **Bell Harbor Marina and

# Artificial Lure's Puget Sound Fishing Report – Tuesday, November 18, 2025

Hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your daily fishing report for Puget Sound and the Seattle area. Let's dive right in.

**Tides & Conditions**

We're looking at a nice tide window this morning. High tide hit at 4:40 AM around 10 feet, 6 inches in Seattle proper. Low tide came through at 9:41 AM at 6 feet, 8 inches. If you're out on the water, that falling tide between 9 and 10 AM should push some baitfish around—perfect for chasing coho and chum.

Over in Port Orchard, we've got a high at 4:43 AM and a low at 9:48 AM, so very similar conditions across the Sound. Sun's up at 7:19 AM and down at 4:29 PM, so you've got limited daylight out there.

**Weather**

It's a decent morning to be on the water. We're looking at around 49 to 57 degrees, with light winds at 6 mph gusting to 12. Water temp's sitting at a chilly 49 degrees, which means the fish are active but you'll want to dress in layers. Minimal cloud cover too—should be able to see what's happening topside.

**Fish Activity**

Recent reports show coho are surging right now, and chum runs are staying strong. This time of year, both species are stacking up in predictable zones as they move through toward the rivers. You want to focus on current breaks and structure where baitfish congregate during those tidal transitions.

**Best Tactics**

For coho, throw silver spoons or white-and-silver Tomic plugs. The coho love reflective action when the light's low like it is this time of year. For chum, don't sleep on chartreuse or white marabou jigs tipped with herring. If you're a live-bait guy, fresh herring and anchovy are your bread and butter right now.

**Hot Spots**

Head to the waters just west of Long Beach if you can make the drive—it's been absolutely loaded. Locally, focus your efforts around the deeper channels near Bainbridge Island and the Ballard area. Structure is your friend. Also, don't overlook the areas around the ferry lanes where current pushes baitfish through consistently.

Thanks so much for tuning in today! Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's report. Tight lines out there!

Morning’s here and the tide’s just starting to turn, folks. According to TidesChart, the last low tide was at 1:30 am with a depth of -1.64 feet, and the next high tide is coming in at 9:26 am, reaching 10.73 feet. The water’s been running a bit cold, right around 49 degrees, and the weather’s mostly clear with a little wind, just 6 mph, and a high of 57 degrees. Sunrise was at 7:07 am and sunset will be at 4:39 pm, so you’ve got a solid nine and a half hours of daylight to get out there.

The fishing’s been steady, with reports from the Puget Sound Fishing Report that blackmouth and cutthroat are showing up, especially near the deeper channels and drop-offs. There’s been some good action on the buzz bombs and hoochies for pink salmon, and the roe rigs are working well for those looking for a little extra action on the bottom. The best bait right now is fresh roe, rigged up with an egg loop to keep it on the hook, and for lures, try a pink or green hoochie with a flash tail.

If you’re looking for a couple of hot spots, try the waters around Hood Canal and the central Puget Sound. The tide’s moving in, so focus on the incoming current, and don’t forget to check the deeper holes and the edges of the channels. The weather’s looking good, so get out there and enjoy the day.

Artificial Lure here, bringing you the local fishing report for Puget Sound and Seattle waters for today, November 16, 2025. It’s crisp out there this morning—typical November. Water temps are hovering right around 49°F and clouds are thin at just 5%, with light winds around 6 mph and gusts nudging 12 mph. Expect a high today near 57°F, with humidity at 76%. Sunrise came at 7:07 am and you’ll have until 4:39 pm to chase a bite before sunset.

For tides, we started with a low at 12:38 am at -2.43 ft, saw the morning high at 8:25 am at a solid 10.99 ft—prime for a morning run! Next low comes at 1:43 pm (7.25 ft), and the last push is a 9.02 ft high at 5:51 pm. Today’s fishing peaks line up with the major lunar bite from 6:45 to 8:45 am and the evening run from 7:24 to 9:24 pm. If you need to squeeze it in, a minor window runs late morning from 11:54 to 12:54 pm. According to Tideschart.com, fish activity should be average today—expect some bites, but you’ll work for them.

On the water, reports from The Outdoor Line this weekend say anglers are still finding quality chum salmon in the rivers, but the last coho are hanging in nearshore. With cooler water and ebbing crowds, the resident blackmouth (immature king salmon) are showing up in central sound hotspots. Lingcod season is closed now, but cabezon and flounder can keep things lively on the rock piles. A few late-run sea-run cutthroat are being caught near the river mouths—look for moving tides around the Duwamish, Sammamish Slough, and Dash Point.

For lures and bait, local regulars are pulling blackmouth by trolling 3-inch spoons in patterns like Cop Car or Irish Cream, or Tomics fished slow behind a flasher. Needlefish hoochies in white or chartreuse and herring strip teasers are consistent producers. For cutthroat, try a small Dick Nite spoon or a sparse Clouser Minnow if you’re on the fly rod. Bait anglers are sticking with plug-cut herring or a chunk of squid if you’re after flounder off the bottom. For those fishing off piers in Seattle or Edmonds, a basic herring setup under a bobber or a metal jig bounced near the pilings is your best bet.

Recent reports from locals and fishingreminder.com show that catches are mixed—bank and boat anglers around Point Defiance and Marine Area 10 are still hitting a few keeper blackmouth. Most fish are sub-legal, but a keeper or two have been landed in the deeper troughs. Shore fishers off the Des Moines Pier have picked up surf perch and the odd flounder. Those hitting early at Shilshole report some sea run cutts, but nothing red hot. Hatchery coho are just about done—last good bunch came through the Ballard Locks about a week back.

Hot spots to focus on this week: try Jeff Head early on the flood tide for blackmouth, then slide south to the Narrows or Point Defiance for the afternoon tide change. For shorebound anglers, Lincoln Park Beach at the south end of West Seattle and the Edmonds Marina pier are solid bets—both offer good moving current and acc

Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for Saturday, November 15, 2025, coming to you live and local from Seattle and the surrounding bays.

We start with the weather—if you’re heading out, pack your rain gear and watch your footing near the water, as FOX 13 Seattle is reporting that heavy rain has hammered Seattle, leaving urban flooding and some lowland areas a soggy mess. A good chunk of Puget Sound remains under a Flood Advisory until this afternoon, but the rain should taper off later tonight. Winds in the Sound are changing up today—expect a slow start from the east, swinging south and ramping up to 15-25 knots by midday, then dropping off again by evening. If you’re on a smaller craft, that “Small Craft Advisory” the National Weather Service has posted means caution is more than just a good idea.

For tides, the US Harbors chart for Seattle puts this morning’s low tide right around 7:00 a.m. with the incoming pushing up toward the next high at about 1:43 p.m. Best action will be the couple hours around that incoming swing as solunar tables suggest fish will be on the move. First light hit us at 7:12 a.m., and sunset will be as early as 4:33 p.m.—the days are short, so plan accordingly.

Now onto the bite—autumn in Puget Sound means blackmouth (resident Chinook), coho, and chum salmon are all in play. According to Puget Sound, Washington Fishing Today, the runs have been decent after the October rains, and this past week has seen good numbers of coho and chums landed around Shilshole Bay, Point Defiance, and the Edmonds oil docks. Some folks are reporting bonus cutthroat trout in the estuaries and, for the bottom fishers, there’s solid action on lingcod and black rockfish near deeper reefs and structure.

Tackle talk: trolling with 3-inch spoons like Coho Killers in chartreuse, or glow/green stripe, has drawn strikes from feeding blackmouth and silvers alike. If you’re anchored up or slow drifting, herring under a slip float (blue or purple label) is money—especially if you brine it first for durability. For artificial baits, try twitching 3/8- to 1/2-ounce marabou or rabbit jigs in pink or purple for chums in the rivers and estuaries. Shore anglers are also finding success with Buzz Bombs and Rotators, especially at dawn or dusk.

If you target bottomfish, metal jigs bounced off the dropoffs between 60 and 120 feet are pulling up keeper lings and some solid black bass. For live bait options, nothing beats a sand dab or a chunk of squid fished deep, especially near rocky structure off West Point or on the Tacoma Narrows edge.

As for shellfish seekers, while razor clamming is heating up this week on the open coastal beaches, Puget Sound’s local clam beds are closed for the season, so mind your harvest rules and always check for biotoxin alerts before you dig.

Hot spots today:

- Shilshole Bay: Mixing salmon, especially just after that morning tide swing.

- Point Defiance: Trolling the clay banks is pulling in both feeder

Good morning fishers, Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound angling report for Friday, November 14, 2025. We’re rolling into fall prime time and it’s classic November out there—think misty dawns, crisp air, and that silver-skinned promise right beneath the surface.

Let’s start with the **tides**. According to tides.net and Tide-Forecast, we’ve got a low tide at 5:54am around 2.9 feet, a robust high at 12:33pm pushing 10.2 feet, and another low at 7:27pm at about 2.7 feet. Those mid-morning to early afternoon hours will have the ebb in our favor—perfect for chasing bait and active predators. **Sunrise hit at 7:13am and the sun will duck out early, at 4:33pm**, so plan your sessions with daylight in mind[13][5].

**Weather-wise**, the National Weather Service says patchy showers moving in, so throw on your rain gear. Winds look light most of the day, but a bit gustier first thing, with things settling by afternoon—classic unsettled fall, but entirely fishable for small craft, kayaks, and beachcasters alike[7].

**On the fish front**, reports out of Washington Fish Reports and Fish Hunt Northwest say the bite has stayed strong for both salmon and bottomfish. The coho run has wound down, but some bright fish are still being caught on the move—especially around the mouths of local rivers and at deeper points. Chum are now front and center, with solid numbers pushing through the Sound’s estuaries and creek mouths.

Bottom fishers have had stellar outings with **yellowtail rockfish and lingcod**. Recent charters are averaging over six rockfish per rod and healthy keeper ling in the mix, especially when drifting structure with flounder or artificial swimbaits. Black and white plastics, as well as metal jigs, are getting the job done—don’t forget a stout fluorocarbon leader[1].

**For gear**, twitching jigs in blue, purple, or green are a top pick for chum right now. Float fishing with cured roe or shrimp just off creek mouths is another go-to. Salmon still showing are hitting on herring strip, pink hoochies, and small chartreuse flashers. If you’re headed after blackmouth, try spoons like the Coho Killer in “Cookies & Cream” or “Irish Cream.” For bottomfish, 5- to 8-ounce leadheads tipped with curly tail plastics in white or glow work well.

**Bait and hot color combos:** For bait, cured eggs and sand shrimp are dynamite for chums. Herring and anchovy strips are the ticket for late coho. When it comes to lures, try pink and chartreuse for salmon, black with metallic fleck for rockfish, and white for lingcod.

**Catches this week:** Local guides and regulars out of Shilshole and Edmonds are still boasting quality chum hauls with a few late coho mixed in, and the occasional blackmouth reported by trollers working deeper ledges. Charter returns on the west side have been running strong: Over 70 rockfish and two dozen lingcod in a single outing this week according to Washington Fish Reports[1].

**Hot spots to try:**

- **Point No Point:** Always a Nov

This is Artificial Lure with your Puget Sound fishing report for November 13th, 2025.

We’re rolling into a classic brisk fall morning here in Seattle, and anglers are starting the day with cloudy skies and a chance of patchy showers—a typical November pattern. Winds are light out of the south, with daytime highs steady in the upper 40s. Sunrise hit at 7:13 am and sunset’s coming right around 4:32 pm, so remember you’re working with a pretty tight window for that after-work bite.

Checking in on the tide charts from NOAA for Seattle, we’ve got a low tide this morning at 7:46 am at 0.8 feet, rolling into a decent high at 2:28 pm at just over 10 feet. That swing is prime for moving bait and firing up predatory fish, especially around points and structure along West Seattle, Bainbridge, and up towards Edmonds.

Fishing reports this week in the Sound have been all about the late-run **chum salmon** and a very few holdover **coho**, with some bright fish still being pulled from the Green and Puyallup River mouths. Most of the saltwater chrome right now is chum, pushing in with every good tide. The trick has been fresh cut herring or anchovy—rig ‘em under a float or drift ‘em near the surface. Spinners tipped with a bit of scent are dynamite and folks using chartreuse, pink, or purple Vibrax are picking off the most fish.

Folks working jetties and local piers from Elliott Bay down to Dash Point continue to see steady action on pile perch and shiner perch, with a few nice **blackmouth chinook** being reported by early trollers working three-inch spoons or hootchies trolled low and slow behind a flasher. Best bets are the classic green/glow or white/UV combinations. Artificial sandworms on light tackle have also produced solid catches for shore-bound anglers, and some dock bonuses in the form of squid—so don’t forget your jig if you’re sticking around after sunset.

The **hot spots** right now:

- **Edmonds Pier**: Chum pushing through, blackmouth caught early on, and plenty of squid in the lights after dark.

- **Alki Beach to Duwamish Head**: Trollers are working bait schools for feeder chinook.

If you’re looking to target deepwater species like lingcod or rockfish, remember these fisheries are generally closed now for conservation, but there’s still plenty of fun picking through flounder and greenling in 30-60 feet with small jigs.

A quick heads-up: always check your WDFW regs for last-minute changes and closures as we wrap up the fall salmon season.

Wrapping it up, your best action is timed around those changing tides and working the colored water where bait gathers. Pack that rain shell and grab some extra squid jigs for dusk—those little cephalopods are making nights lively all across the Sound.
