### Weather and Tides
For the Bristol Bay area, the weather this time of year is typically cold and potentially snowy. However, since the fishing season is over, current weather conditions are not critical for fishing.

On November 24, sunrise in the Bristol Bay area is around 9:30 AM, and sunset is about 4:00 PM. These times are crucial for planning during the active fishing season.
### Fish Activity and Catch
The 2024 Bristol Bay sockeye salmon run was exceptionally strong, with a total inshore run of 51.6 million fish, 36% above the preseason forecast[2][3].
- The commercial harvest of sockeye salmon was 31.6 million, with significant catches in the Naknek/Kvichak, Nushagak, Ugashik, and Egegik districts.
- Other species caught included 6,895 Chinook, 506,541 chum, 28,804 coho, and 76,199 pink salmon[2].
### Best Lures and Bait
During the Bristol Bay salmon season, the most effective lures and bait often include:
- Spoons and spinners, particularly those with a red or orange hue to mimic the appearance of injured fish.
- Flies such as the Dolly Llama or other streamer patterns.
- Bait like herring or anchovies, which are often used in conjunction with lures.
### Hot Spots
Some of the best fishing spots in Bristol Bay include:
- The Naknek/Kvichak district, which consistently produces high numbers of sockeye salmon.

### Season Summary
The 2024 season saw all sockeye salmon escapement goals met or exceeded, with a total bay-wide escapement of 20 million fish. Despite the strong run, the economic conditions for fishermen remain challenging due to low prices and high operating costs[2][5].
For those planning for the next season, it's essential to stay updated on preseason forecasts and any regulatory changes that might affect the fishery. The 2025 preseason forecast is already indicating a strong run, with an estimated 54.1 million sockeye salmon[3].
