# Artificial Lure's Puget Sound Fishing Report – Tuesday, November 18, 2025

Hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your daily fishing report for Puget Sound and the Seattle area. Let's dive right in.

**Tides & Conditions**

We're looking at a nice tide window this morning. High tide hit at 4:40 AM around 10 feet, 6 inches in Seattle proper. Low tide came through at 9:41 AM at 6 feet, 8 inches. If you're out on the water, that falling tide between 9 and 10 AM should push some baitfish around—perfect for chasing coho and chum.

Over in Port Orchard, we've got a high at 4:43 AM and a low at 9:48 AM, so very similar conditions across the Sound. Sun's up at 7:19 AM and down at 4:29 PM, so you've got limited daylight out there.

**Weather**

It's a decent morning to be on the water. We're looking at around 49 to 57 degrees, with light winds at 6 mph gusting to 12. Water temp's sitting at a chilly 49 degrees, which means the fish are active but you'll want to dress in layers. Minimal cloud cover too—should be able to see what's happening topside.

**Fish Activity**

Recent reports show coho are surging right now, and chum runs are staying strong. This time of year, both species are stacking up in predictable zones as they move through toward the rivers. You want to focus on current breaks and structure where baitfish congregate during those tidal transitions.

**Best Tactics**

For coho, throw silver spoons or white-and-silver Tomic plugs. The coho love reflective action when the light's low like it is this time of year. For chum, don't sleep on chartreuse or white marabou jigs tipped with herring. If you're a live-bait guy, fresh herring and anchovy are your bread and butter right now.

**Hot Spots**

Head to the waters just west of Long Beach if you can make the drive—it's been absolutely loaded. Locally, focus your efforts around the deeper channels near Bainbridge Island and the Ballard area. Structure is your friend. Also, don't overlook the areas around the ferry lanes where current pushes baitfish through consistently.
