# Artificial Lure's Puget Sound Fishing Report – Monday, December 1st

Hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here, bringing you this Monday morning's fishing update for Puget Sound and Seattle waters.

Let's kick things off with the tides. Today's looking pretty good – we've got a high tide hitting at 1:35 AM at 7.78 feet, then a low at 6:33 AM sitting at 4.99 feet. Over in Seattle proper, expect that high tide at around 12:33 PM, so plan your outings accordingly. The tides are really firing this time of year, and we're heading into what locals are calling December's first "king tides," so water movement's gonna be excellent for getting fish to bite.

Fish-wise, we're in that sweet spot where both cutthroat and coho are still active in the Sound. King salmon season just reopened for nonresidents in Southeast Alaska, which means the broader region's got solid numbers moving through. The best action's typically happening during major feeding windows – we're looking at early morning and late evening being prime time.

For lures, stick with your standard arsenal: chartreuse and white spoons, small tube jigs, and flashy spinners. The water clarity's decent right now, so don't be afraid to go bright. If you're bait fishing, herring and sand eels are your bread and butter. Anchovies work too if you can snag some fresh.

Hot spots to hit? The waters around Elliott Bay near Seattle are consistently productive, and if you can get out to the deeper channels running between Bainbridge Island and the Kitsap Peninsula, you'll find good structure. Port Townsend waters are heating up as well – literally some of the best fishing access in the Sound right now.
