Artificial Lure here with your November 10, 2025, Puget Sound fishing report, coming to you fresh from the Seattle waterfront just after sunrise. We’ve got classic fall PNW conditions—mostly clear early with just 5% cloud cover, temps starting in the high 40s and heading up to a comfortable 57°F by midday. Winds are light, hovering around 6 mph out of the south, with gusts up to 12. Water temps sit at a brisk 49°F. It’s a calm morning for anglers willing to layer up and chase those peak bites.

Sunrise hit at 7:07 am and you’ll want to be back at the dock by sunset, which creeps in early this time of year at 4:39 pm. Plan your trips around today’s tidal swings: Seattle’s high tides peak at 9:32 am (12.2 feet) and again at 7:29 pm (9.02 feet), with lows at 1:38 am and 3:28 pm. These big exchanges get the bait moving and the fish feeding. Best fishing times, according to Tideschart, are right at first light and again just after dinner, with a solid lunar window from 6:45 to 8:45 am and another bite at 7:24 to 9:24 pm tonight.

The Sound’s November smorgasbord is in full effect. Reports from local shops say blackmouth (resident Chinook) catches have improved over the last week, especially near Point No Point and Jeff Head. Most fish are in the 4–7 lb range, with the odd double-digit showing up for trollers putting in the hours. Coho are thinning, but you might still bump into a late-run silver, especially in deeper rips and current seams near Possession Bar.

Lingcod and cabezon are mostly done for the season, but the odd one turns up for folks jigging deep structure between Alki and Blake Island. Rockfish action remains steady in south Sound and under piers, especially mid-day when the tide’s pulling hardest.

Herring and anchovy schools are pushing in strong, so match the hatch! Your best producers remain 3–4” UV hoochies in green/chrome on flasher rigs, Silver Horde Coho Killers, or the good ol’ Cop Car spoons run 25–120 feet down. For moochers, plug-cut herring—fresh if you can get it—is drawing both blackmouth and the late straggler coho. Shore-bound anglers are sticking to sandworms and Gulp! grubs for flounder, perch, and the usual cast of bottom critters. Word is the greenling are still biting soft plastics tipped with shrimp near Lincoln Park.

For baits, nothing beats natural this time of year: salted herring, sand shrimp, or squid strips are working well. If you’re jigging, white or glow Z-Man StreakZ and curly-tail grubs are hot—especially first light at Shilshole and Brown’s Point.

If you’re looking for a couple of hotspots, head north to Jeff Head for trolling (watch your line angles in the tide rip), or check out the drop-offs at Edmonds Marina where the blackmouth are cruising the contour lines. Kayak anglers report solid mixed-bag action off Golden Gardens, especially on the outgoing tide.

Don’t forget—a light rain is in the afternoon forecast, so pack those layers and keep a dry bag handy. Rain on the way usually perks up that blackmouth bite, so stick around for the evening tide if you can.
