Puget Sound Fishing Report: Late Fall Salmon, Lingcod, and Coho Action in Puget Sound

# Puget Sound Fishing Report - Sunday, November 30th

Good morning, this is Artificial Lure with your local Puget Sound fishing report for today, Sunday, November 30th.

Let's start with the tides. We've got a high tide coming in at 12:02 AM at 6.79 feet, then a low tide at 5:26 AM hitting 3.87 feet. That midday high tide rolls in around 12:01 PM. These swings are perfect for working the shallows and channels where baitfish concentrate during transitions.

For today's fishing action, we're looking at an average bite day according to the local conditions. Your major fishing windows are from 6:45 AM to 8:45 AM with the moon down, and then again from 7:24 PM to 9:24 PM when the lunar transit peaks. Those minor bite times around noon and early evening shouldn't be ignored either—the 11:54 AM to 12:54 PM moonset window and 7:54 PM to 8:54 PM moonrise can surprise you.

Conditions in Puget Sound are holding steady as we head deeper into late fall. The acoustic fish surveys continue to show strong populations of salmon moving through the system. If you're targeting salmon, fresh roe rigged with a quality egg loop remains your go-to. Cut your roe about the size of a quarter with a bit of skein membrane attached, thread it through the loop, and you're money. For artificial presentations, try working spoons and plugs along the deeper channels where salmon are staging.

We've also got lingcod hanging around the rocky structure, and they'll absolutely hammer live herring or large swimbaits. Don't overlook the potential for coho and chum—both are active through November.

For your hot spots today, hit the Elliott Bay Marina or Mount Baker Beach for accessible shoreline action. If you can get a boat out, work the deeper channels around Portage Bay where the current funnels baitfish. Harbor entrances are your friend right now as fish move in and out with these tidal swings.

Remember to check your local regs and get your license sorted. The fishing pressure eases up mid-week, so plan accordingly.
