  • Summary

  • As of November 10, 2024, the fishing scene in Puget Sound is looking promising, especially with the cooler weather setting in. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Tides
    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 55 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 45 degrees. Winds will be moderate, blowing at about 10 mph. Tides are crucial, and today you can expect a high tide at around 7:30 AM and a low tide at 2:00 PM.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 7:14 AM, and sunset will be at 4:34 PM, giving you ample daylight to fish.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw decent catches across various areas of Puget Sound. In Marine Area 10, which includes the Seattle-Bremerton area, anglers reported catching coho salmon. For instance, at the Armeni Public Ramp, 6 anglers caught 4 coho salmon[1].

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Coho salmon are the main catch this time of year, with some areas also open for chum salmon. In Marine Area 13, South Puget Sound, hatchery Chinook and coho are available, although the Chinook catch has been minimal. In areas like Hood Canal, chum salmon fishing is open from November 1-30[3].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For coho salmon, using lures like spoons, especially those with a silver or pink finish, can be very effective. Jigs tipped with squid or herring are also popular choices. When targeting chum salmon, try using jigs or plugs that mimic their natural prey.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Hoodsport Shore**: Located in the Hoodsport Hatchery area, this spot has seen significant coho catches recently.
    - **Armeni Public Ramp**: In the Seattle-Bremerton area, this ramp has been a hotspot for coho salmon fishing.
    - **Point Defiance Boathouse**: In the Tacoma-Vashon Island area, this location offers good opportunities for coho and other species.

    Make sure to check the latest fishing regulations and emergency rules before you head out, and always be prepared with the right gear and safety equipment. Enjoy your day on the water
