あらすじ・解説
As of November 3, 2024, the fishing scene in Puget Sound is vibrant, despite the transitioning weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Weather and Tides
Today, the weather is expected to be mostly cloudy with temperatures around 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The tides are significant, with a high tide at approximately 10:15 AM at 10.2 feet and a low tide at 4:40 PM at 5.5 feet. These tidal changes can significantly impact fish activity.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 7:30 AM, and sunset is at 4:45 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing.
### Fish Activity
Coho salmon are thriving in the autumn fishing scene in Puget Sound. Yesterday, anglers reported catching several coho salmon, particularly around the Point Defiance and Shilshole areas. Chum salmon are also active, with some catches reported in the Tacoma-Vashon Island area.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
At the Point Defiance Public Ramp in Area 11, anglers caught 2 coho salmon and 3 chum salmon. At the Shilshole Public Ramp in Area 10, the catch included 9 coho salmon and 7 chum salmon.
### Best Lures and Bait
For coho salmon, using lures like spoons, especially those with a silver or pink finish, can be very effective. Jigs with a curly tail or a hoochie can also attract these fish. For bait, herring or anchovies are excellent choices. For chum salmon, try using jigs with a pink or red finish, and bait such as eggs or sand shrimp.
### Hot Spots
- **Point Defiance**: This area has been producing consistent catches of coho and chum salmon. The high tide in the morning can bring fish closer to shore.
- **Shilshole Bay**: Located in the Seattle-Bremerton area, this spot has seen a good number of coho and chum salmon catches. The bay’s structure and tidal flows make it an ideal spot for salmon fishing.
Make sure to check the local fishing regulations and any emergency rule changes before you head out. With the right gear and knowledge of the tides, you should have a productive day fishing in Puget Sound.
