Puget Sound Fishing Update: Rockfish, Lingcod, and Salmon Bites Strong Heading into the Weekend
Published 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Well, good morning, Puget Sound anglers. It’s Friday, November 14th, and the tide’s running out right now, with low tide at 5:26 am and the next high tide coming in at 12:33 pm. The water’s dropping to about 2.92 feet at low, then climbing back up to 10.17 feet at high. The weather’s a bit damp—there’s a chance of rain tonight, with southwest winds picking up, so grab your rain gear if you’re heading out.
Sunrise is at 7:27 am, and sunset will be at 4:33 pm, so you’ve got a short window to get out there and make the most of the daylight. The fishing’s been steady, with reports of yellowtail rockfish and lingcod still biting well, especially for those trolling or jigging near the bottom. Just yesterday, a group of 11 anglers pulled in 77 yellowtail rockfish and 24 lingcod, so the bite’s definitely on.
If you’re after salmon, the 2025 run’s been strong, especially for sockeye, and pink salmon are still showing up in decent numbers. For lures, Brad’s Super Baits Skinny Minis and Cut Plugs are working great for salmon, and the Rasticle Sockeye Lure is a solid pick if you’re targeting sockeye in the lakes. For pink salmon, spinners are still producing, and for bottom fish, try some vertical lead jigs or slow pitch setups.
As for bait, fresh cut plugs and herring are always reliable, especially when the fish are picky. If you’re crabbing, the Dungeness season’s open, and North Twin has some good shore-accessible spots for casting.
A couple of hot spots to check out: try the waters around Seattle for salmon and bottom fish, and head to North Twin if you’re looking for a good shore spot. The tide’s working in your favor this morning, so get out there early and make the most of the outgoing tide.
