21 NOV 2024 · For November 21, 2024, fishing in the Puget Sound is looking promising, especially with the current tidal and weather conditions.
### Tidal and Weather Report
Today, the sunrise is at 7:27 AM, and the sunset will be at 4:21 PM. Tides are favorable, with a high tide at 9:47 AM and a low tide at 3:47 PM. The weather forecast indicates partly cloudy skies with a high of 52°F and a low of 43°F, making it a comfortable day to be out on the water.
### Fish Activity
Fish activity in the Puget Sound has been robust, particularly for coho and chum salmon. According to recent creel reports, anglers at the Shilshole Public Ramp in Marine Area 10 have been catching a significant number of coho salmon. Yesterday, 66 coho were caught by 57 anglers, with no reports of Chinook, pink, or sockeye salmon[3].
### Best Lures and Bait
For coho and chum salmon, using lures that mimic their natural prey is highly effective. Krill and euphausiid patterns, such as the White Gartside Gurgler, have been successful. Additionally, baitfish patterns like the Foul Free Herring or Mini Deceiver can attract fish working on bait. For sea-run cutthroat, sculpin patterns and small suggestive patterns mimicking copepods, amphipods, and other small crustacean larvae are recommended[2].
### Hot Spots
Two hot spots to consider are the Shilshole Public Ramp in the Seattle-Bremerton area and the beaches around South Puget Sound. The Shilshole Public Ramp has seen consistent catches of coho salmon, while the South Puget Sound beaches offer good opportunities for both coho and sea-run cutthroat, especially during early morning outgoing tides[2][3].
Overall, with favorable tidal conditions and active fish populations, today should be a great day for fishing in the Puget Sound. Make sure to check the latest fishing regulations and emergency rules before heading out.

17 NOV 2024 · For November 17th, fishing in the Puget Sound is looking promising, especially with the current weather and tidal conditions. Here’s what you need to know:
### Weather and Tides
Today, expect a southwest wind at 10 to 15 knots with waves around 2 feet or less, and some rain. Sunrise is at 7:15 AM, and sunset will be at 4:23 PM. The tidal forecast shows a flood tide in the morning, which is ideal for targeting chinook salmon, especially around areas like Point Dalco and in front of the Tacoma Yacht Club.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a decent amount of fish activity, particularly with coho, chum, and chinook salmon. The cooler temperatures and rising tides have brought these fish to the biting. Chinook salmon are still active, especially those headed for the Puyallup and Nisqually hatcheries. You can expect to mark more fish on your sonar than you will hook, but the bites can turn on quickly.
### Catch Reports
Anglers reported catching a mix of coho and chinook salmon, with some chum salmon also in the mix. The Gig Harbor flats and areas around Dolphin Point were particularly productive. For chinook, the early morning hours just before daylight are crucial, as serious anglers often find success during this time.
### Best Lures and Bait
For chinook salmon, using larger profile terminal gear such as hoochies and jigging are highly effective. Jigging, especially for staging salmon, has been outperforming other methods. Moving slower and using these larger profiles can entice the staging chinook to bite.
### Hot Spots
- **Gig Harbor**: Many chinook salmon are headed for the deep south sound hatcheries and can be intercepted here.
- **Point Dalco**: Fishing here on the flood tide is highly recommended, and the area north of Point Dalco at the Girl Scout Camp is also worth a try.
- **Dolphin Point**: This area is great for early bites as chinook salmon often pass through here before other parts of Marine Area 11.
- **In front of Tacoma Yacht Club**: Especially good on the flood tide, this spot really comes alive as the run builds into late July and August, but it's still productive now.
With the right gear and timing, today should be a great day to be out on the water in the Puget Sound. Make sure to check the latest creel reports and emergency rules before you head out.

16 NOV 2024 · For November 16th, fishing in the Puget Sound is looking highly promising, especially around the Seattle area. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Conditions
The tidal report shows a high tide at around 9:30 AM with a height of about 12 feet, and a low tide at 3:30 PM with a height of approximately 3 feet. These tidal changes can stir up the fish, making them more active. The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of 62°F and a low of 50°F, and light winds of around 5 mph, making for a comfortable fishing day. Sunrise is at 7:21 AM, and sunset is at 6:23 PM, giving you ample daylight to fish.
### Fish Activity
The coho salmon surge in Puget Sound is in full swing. Anglers reported a significant number of coho catches yesterday, particularly in areas like the Seattle-Bremerton area and Admiralty Inlet. Coho salmon are the main target this time of year, with many fish moving into freshwater as the waters cool. You can also expect some summer steelhead to be active as the temperatures drop.
### Catches
Yesterday, anglers at the Point Defiance Public Ramp in Marine Area 11 caught up to 53 coho salmon, with an average of about 0.47 coho per angler. In Marine Area 10, around the Seattle-Bremerton area, anglers reported catching up to 4-6 coho per boat.
### Best Lures and Bait
For coho salmon, small spinners, jigs, and flies are highly effective. These lures mimic the natural prey that coho salmon are feeding on during this time.
### Hot Spots
Some of the best places to fish include the Seattle-Bremerton area, particularly around the Shilshole Public Ramp and the Kingston Public Ramp. Admiralty Inlet is also a hot spot, as well as the Tacoma-Vashon Island area around the Point Defiance Public Ramp.
Overall, it should be a great day for fishing in the Puget Sound, with favorable tidal conditions, active fish populations, and comfortable weather. Make sure to check the latest regulations and emergency rules before heading out.

### Hot Spots
- **Kennedy Creek Mouth** in Marine Area 13 has been producing a decent number of chum salmon.
