Puget Sound Fishing Report: Tides, Weather, and Hot Spots for Salmon, Lingcod, and Bottomfish

# Artificial Lure's Puget Sound Fishing Report - Sunday, November 30th Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning Puget Sound report. Let's dive right in. **Tides and Conditions** We've got some beautiful tidal action today. Down in Olympia's Budd Inlet, we're looking at a high tide at 1:08 AM hitting 10.15 feet, then a low at 6:45 AM at 4.37 feet. The main event comes at 1:07 PM with a stellar 15.51-foot high tide—that's prime feeding time, folks. We'll close out the day with a low at 8:19 PM at 1.79 feet. Over in Seattle proper, expect a low at 4:45 AM around 2.82 feet, then a strong high tide at 11:48 AM reaching 11.83 feet. That midday push is going to push baitfish around and get the salmon and lingcod fired up. **Weather** Sunrise is at 7:36 AM, sunset at 4:24 PM—we've got about nine and a half hours of daylight. Current temperature is holding around 49-50 degrees with light winds around 6 mph gusting to 12. Pretty mild for late November. Water temp sits at a chilly 49 degrees, so bundle up and focus on structure where fish congregate. **What's Biting** This is a solid fishing day. The major bite windows align with tidal movement—you'll want to focus your efforts during those tide transitions, particularly around that 1 PM high tide. Salmon, lingcod, and bottomfish are your targets in Puget Sound. Recent reports indicate coho and chum are active, plus winter crab opportunities if you're looking for variety. **Tackle and Bait** Bring spoons and jigging lures for salmon and lingcod. Green and silver patterns work year-round. For bottomfish, standard bucktail jigs or shrimp patterns will produce. Live bait anglers should consider herring or squid—don't overlook crab bait either, given recent activity. **Hot Spots** Hit Elliott Bay or the points between Seattle and Bremerton where current funnels baitfish. Port Orchard offers sheltered conditions perfect for jigging lingcod around deeper structure. If you're feeling adventurous, head to Admiralty Inlet where tidal currents create excellent salmon lanes. Thanks for tuning in to the Artificial Lure report!
