  • As of November 2, 2024, the fishing scene in Puget Sound is quite active, despite the transitioning weather.

    ### Weather and Tides
    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 58°F and a low of 45°F. The winds will be mild, blowing at about 5 mph. Tides are crucial for fishing in Puget Sound; today's high tide is at 10:37 AM, and the low tide is at 4:17 PM. Sunrise is at 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at 4:45 PM.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a decent amount of fish activity, particularly for coho and chum salmon. In Marine Area 13, which includes the South Puget Sound, anglers reported catching several coho salmon, with some areas also yielding chum salmon.

    ### Catch Reports
    At the Boston Harbor Ramp in Marine Area 13, anglers caught a few coho and chum salmon. Similarly, at the Point Defiance Public Ramp in Area 11, which includes the Tacoma-Vashon Island area, there were reports of coho and chum catches.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For coho and chum salmon, using lures like spoons, especially the Luhr-Jensen Krocodile or the Acme Kastmaster, can be very effective. Bait-wise, herring and anchovies are always favorites, especially when used with a mooching rig. For those targeting lingcod and halibut, jigs tipped with squid or herring are recommended.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the South Puget Sound, particularly around the Boston Harbor and Point Defiance areas. Another good spot is the Hood Canal (Marine Area 12), which is open for chum salmon fishing from November 1-30.
