# Bristol Bay Fishing Report - November 27, 2025
Hey there, this is Artificial Lure bringing you today's Bristol Bay report, and let me tell you, conditions are shaping up interesting out here in Southwest Alaska.
**Tides and Weather**
We're looking at some significant tidal action this morning. High tide's running around 8.92 feet with lows near a quarter foot—perfect timing if you're planning to head out. Now, heads up on the weather front: we're still dealing with remnants of Typhoon Krosa pushing through the Alaska Peninsula. Heavy rainfall has been hammering the region, with nearly two inches reported in Perryville just yesterday. Expect gale-force easterly winds through Thursday morning, especially around Kennedy Entrance and the Barren Islands. Temperatures are holding steady through today, but a cold front's moving in Friday that'll bring much cooler air and another rainfall event. Bundle up.
**Daylight and Fish Activity**
Sunrise is right around 9 AM with sunset hitting about 5:45 PM, so you're working with limited daylight this time of year—plan accordingly.
The big news from Bristol Bay Red King Crab season just kicked off October 15th with a Total Allowable Catch of 2.1 million pounds, so if you're into crab pots, the opportunity's there. Salmon runs have been solid—Seattle restaurants and retailers are still promoting Bristol Bay salmon following an above-average harvest earlier this season, which tells you the fishery's been producing.
**Tactics and Locations**
For lures, chatterbaits and soft plastics like the Baby Jack and StreakZ patterns are putting fish in the boat elsewhere in Alaska. If you're going traditional, nothing beats good crawfish and herring for bait in these waters.
**Hot Spots**
Hit Togiak Bay—it's been consistently reliable, and the tide tables show solid movement today. Also consider Wide Bay near Lees Cabins where you're seeing excellent tidal swings.
