  • Summary

  • As of November 7, 2024, the fishing scene in Puget Sound is looking promising, especially with the cooler weather and changing tides.

    ### Tidal Report
    Today, the tides in Puget Sound are favorable for fishing. The high tide is at 7:44 AM with a height of 12.1 feet, and the low tide is at 2:15 PM with a height of 4.8 feet. These tidal shifts can stir up baitfish and make larger predators more active.

    ### Weather
    The weather is overcast with a light drizzle, which is typical for this time of year. The temperature is around 50°F, making it a comfortable day to be out on the water. Winds are moderate, coming in from the southeast at about 10 mph.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at 4:32 PM, giving anglers a good window to catch both the morning and late afternoon bites.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a decent amount of fish activity, particularly for coho and chum salmon. Anglers reported catching several coho salmon in the Seattle-Bremerton area and around the Tacoma-Vashon Island region. Chum salmon were also active in the same areas, with some catches reported near the Hoodsport Hatchery.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Coho salmon were the main catch, with several anglers reporting limits or near-limits. Chum salmon were also common, especially in the deeper waters around 50-70 feet. There were a few reports of lingcod catches, but these were less frequent compared to the salmon.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For coho and chum salmon, the Gibbs Skinny G Bon Chovy and the Gibbs #4 Bon Chovy have been performing exceptionally well. These lures mimic the baitfish that these salmon are feeding on and have been consistent producers in the Puget Sound. For lingcod, using squid or herring as bait can be very effective.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Point Gibson**: This area has been a hotspot for coho and chum salmon. Anglers have had success here using the Gibbs Skinny G Bon Chovy at depths ranging from 50 to 70 feet.
    - **Nisqually Area**: The mouth of the Nisqually River has also seen a lot of action, with anglers catching salmon in the early morning hours using similar lures and techniques.

    Overall, it's a great day to get out on the water in Puget Sound, with favorable tides and active fish. Make sure to dress warmly and stay safe as the weather can change quickly.
