サマリー
あらすじ・解説
As of December 1, 2024, the fishing scene in the Puget Sound is looking promising, especially with the cooler temperatures and changing tides.
### Tidal Report
Today, the tides are favorable for fishing, with a high tide at around 10:30 AM and a low tide at 4:30 PM. These tidal shifts often bring fish into more accessible areas, making it a good day to be out on the water.
### Weather
The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 48°F and a low of 38°F. There might be some light rain, but it shouldn't hinder your fishing plans. Make sure to dress warmly and bring adequate gear.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 7:30 AM, and sunset is at 4:15 PM, giving you a good window of daylight to fish.
### Fish Activity
Fish activity has been picking up, especially for coho and chum salmon. Sea run cutthroat trout are also active, particularly in the South Puget Sound. Yesterday, anglers reported catching several coho and chum salmon, with some nice cutthroat trout mixed in.
### Catch Reports
From the creel reports, it appears that anglers at Kennedy Creek Mouth and McLane Creek Shore caught a few coho and chum salmon[3].
### Best Lures and Bait
For coho and chum salmon, using baitfish patterns like the Foul Free Herring or Mini Deceiver can be effective. For sea run cutthroat, try using Sculpin patterns, Euphausiid and Krill, and small suggestive patterns mimicking copepods, amphipods, and other small crustacean larvae. Krill and euphasid patterns, especially the White Gartside Gurgler, are also recommended[1][2].
### Hot Spots
Some hot spots to consider include the South Puget Sound, particularly around Marine Area 13, which is open for hatchery Chinook and coho. Hood Canal (Marine Area 12) is also a good spot, especially for chum salmon from November 1-30. The beaches around Kennedy Creek Mouth and McLane Creek Shore have been producing some good catches recently[2][3].
Overall, it's a great time to get out on the Puget Sound and take advantage of the active fish populations. Just remember to check the local regulations and weather conditions before you head out.
