Quiet. Please info@inceptionpoint.ai Tue, 19 May 2026 07:07:34 -0000 full Inception Point AI This is Artificial Lure with your coastal fishing report for the Pacific off Oregon. We’re in a typical late‑spring pattern along the north and central coast. Offshore winds have been light and variable, seas generally 3–6 feet with a mixed northwest swell. Along the mid-coast this morning, you’re looking at patchy low clouds, light wind under 10 knots early, building northwest in the afternoon with temps in the 50s and low 60s. Marine forecasts from the National Weather Service out of Portland and Medford show mostly manageable conditions for small boats, but keep an ear on updates—afternoon wind waves can stack up quickly. Tides today along the central coast, using Newport as a benchmark from NOAA, are running a decent morning high followed by a dropping tide through late morning, then a modest afternoon push. That outgoing tide has been setting up good current lines just off the jetties and around nearshore reefs—prime ambush lanes for rockfish and lingcod. Surf anglers will want that last part of the incoming or first of the ebb to work the cuts and deeper troughs. Sunrise is right around a quarter after five, with sunset near nine in the evening, so you’ve got a long window. Dawn and dusk have definitely been the best feeding periods; mid‑day has been slower unless you’re fishing deep structure. Fish activity has picked up with the slightly warmer water and pockets of upwelling. According to Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife ocean reports, nearshore rockfish limits have been common on calmer days, with blacks and blues making up most of the catch and a mix of kelp greenling. Lingcod have been coming steadily off the reefs in 40–80 feet of water; a lot of keeper‑sized fish with the occasional mid‑20‑pounder. Halibut effort offshore has been steady when weather allows, with some boats getting a couple per rod on the deeper gravel and broken shell. For lures, nearshore rockfish are chewing 2–4 ounce lead‑head jigs with curly‑tail grubs in motor oil, root beer, and white. Lingcod are hammering larger swimbaits—4–6 inch paddle tails in glow or blue‑and‑white—bounced tight to the bottom. Metal jigs like 4–6 ounce darts in chrome or blue have also been productive when dropped on meter marks and yo‑yoed off the structure. Bait anglers are doing well with strips of herring or anchovy on double‑dropper rigs for rockfish, and whole or plug‑cut herring for lingcod and halibut. If you’re drifting the flats for halibut, spreader bars with bouncing‑betty weights and a glow hoochie over herring have been solid producers. For surf perch, sand shrimp and sand fleas have been outfishing most artificials, but a lot of locals are quietly filling buckets on 2‑inch motor‑oil grubs with a bit of scent on a Carolina rig. Two hot spots to consider: first, the reef complexes off Newport and Depoe Bay. Charter captains out of these ports report quick limits on rockfish with a decent lingcod mix when the seas are kind. Focus on rocky humps in that 60–80 foot band; watch your sounder and don’t be shy about re‑setting drifts over active marks. Second, the beaches around Winchester Bay and down toward the Siltcoos outflow have been kicking out good redtail surfperch. Look for darker slots between sandbars, especially on that last part of the flood. Cast slightly uptide and let your rig swing through the cut. Salmon seasons remain tightly managed; check the latest ODFW ocean salmon updates before you plan a trip, as openings and quotas shift quickly. That’s the rundown: manageable marine conditions, cooperative rockfish and lings on the structure, halibut when you can reach them, and solid surf‑perch action in the right water. This is Artificial Lure reminding you to rig sharp, mind the bar crossings, and respect those afternoon winds. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss the next report.

It's early morning on May 3rd, 2026, and the conditions are prime for hittin' the water—clear skies with light winds at 5-10 mph from the northwest, temps hoverin' around 52°F, perfect for striper chasin'. Sunrise kicked off at 5:52 AM, sunset's at 8:27 PM, givin' us a solid 14+ hours of daylight to work with. Tides are lookin' good per NOAA charts: low at 4:12 AM (-0.2 ft), high at 10:28 AM (7.1 ft), then droppin' to low at 4:56 PM (1.8 ft) and high at 10:42 PM (7.8 ft). Fish the incomin' tide mid-mornin' when bait schools up. Fish activity's been hot lately—ODFW reports show lingcod and rockfish bitin' steady in 60-120 ft depths, with limits common on half-day charters. Recent catches from Depoe Bay and Newport marinas tally 20-30 ver milion rockfish per boat, plus a few halibut pushin' 30 lbs. Chinook salmon are showin' early in the estuaries, and albacore might tease us offshore soon. Lingcod are aggressive post-spawn, hittin' hard. For lures, my top picks are chrome moochers or green-label J-plugs trolled at 4-6 knots for salmon—mimicin' injured baitfish. For bottom bouncin' rockfish and lings, try 4-6 oz pink or white squid skirts on a spreader bar, or buzz bombs in glow. Live bait? Sand shrimp or herring chunks on a circle hook can't be beat; fresh herring from the piers rules for lings. Hot spots: Yaquina Bay jetty for resident perch and early kings—launch at low tide. And don't sleep on Otter Rock Reef, 10 miles out of Depoe Bay, where the structure holds lings thick. Rig up tight, watch the swells, and get after 'em safe.

It's early morning on May 2nd, 2026, and the Pacific's callin'—let's dive into today's report for spots from Astoria down to Brookings. Weather's lookin' prime: mostly sunny with temps climbin' to 62°F, light northwest winds at 5-10 knots, and seas 4-6 feet—calm enough for offshore runs, per NOAA forecasts. Sunrise hits at 5:52 AM, sunset at 8:27 PM, givin' us a solid 14+ hours of light. Tides? Low slack at 4:17 AM (-0.2 ft), floodin' strong till high at 10:42 AM (7.1 ft), then ebbin' to low at 5:08 PM (0.4 ft)—prime fishin' on the incomin' tide, says the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife tide charts. Fish activity's heatin' up! Salmon are staged thick—spring Chinook pushin' in from the Columbia River plume, with recent reports from Oregon anglers haulin' limits of 15-25 lb kings on moochin' rigs. Lingcod are bitin' fierce in 80-150 ft depths, schools of 20-40 pounders hittin' nearshore reefs. Rockfish action's steady too—vermilion and canary limits common, plus a few halibut showin' early. Albacore tunas ain't here yet, but petrale sole and Dungeness crab pots are full—ODFW creel surveys show over 1,200 salmon landed last week alone off Garibaldi and Depoe Bay. Best lures? For salmon, green hoochies or chartreuse Buzz Bombs behind flashers—troll 'em 1.5-2.5 mph. Lings love glow-headed jigs like the Shamrock or Point Wilson Dart, dropped straight down. Bait-wise, live herring or sardines on circle hooks for kings; whole anchovies for rockfish. Don't sleep on herring strips for sole. Hot spots: Hit **Nehalem Bank** for lings and rockfish—drop shots in 100 ft. For salmon, **Three Tree Point** off Tillamook—mooch the tide rips. Launch from safe bays like Netarts or Charleston. Tight lines, stay safe out there—check regs and wear your PFDs. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for daily updates! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

Spring conditions are really firing up out here, and we're seeing some excellent activity across multiple species. Water temperatures are climbing into that sweet spot where fish start moving shallow and feeding more aggressively. If you've been waiting for the bite to turn on, now's the time to get out there. For our offshore anglers, bluefin and yellowfin are showing up consistently down the California coast, which means we could see similar patterns pushing north into Oregon waters as we move deeper into May. Recent reports from down south show fish in the 24 to 50-pound range with excellent numbers, so keep your eyes on the forecasts for when that bite moves our direction. Inshore, focus on your typical spring patterns. Work the 2 to 3-foot zones over scattered shell and along protected shorelines where bait is concentrated. When you spot bait activity, you'll find the fish. Light-colored straight tail plastics on 1/8-ounce jig heads are producing solid results, and don't sleep on walking topwater baits when conditions allow. If you're working popping corks, pair them with imitation shrimp on a 1 to 2-foot leader—that setup's been generating some of the most aggressive strikes we've seen all season. For hot spots, I'd recommend working the bays and estuaries where freshwater meets saltwater. These transition zones are loaded with baitfish right now. Also scout any areas with oyster reefs or bridge pilings—speckled trout are stacking up thick in those spots. Thanks so much for tuning in to the report today, folks.

Dawn's breakin' crisp at around 6:00 AM, sunset's pushin' 8:15 PM—plenty of light for a full day on the water or surf. Tides are runnin' low coefficient today, 'bout 33, with low at 4:03 AM (3.5 ft), high around 11:09 AM (1.4 ft), then evenin' low at 4:16 PM (4.3 ft) and night high at 11:47 PM (0.8 ft)—perfect for slack water bites when fishin' slows 'em down. Weather's cloudy with SSE winds 10-20 mph, lows near 50F, no rain hittin' yet, so bundle up but expect calm-ish seas offshore. Fish activity's pickin' up with spring currents stirrin' things. Recent catches mirror last week's moderate success: steelhead dominatin' river mouths, smallmouth bass hammerin' reefs, even a few brown trout sneakin' in. Stripers are migratin' north, with fresh waves hittin' southern spots—think 40-50 inch cows mixin' with residents in bays and surf. Limits comin' steady on fly gear and spins. Best lures? Egg sacks, beads, and flies for steelhead; crankbaits for bass. Live bait like herring or anchovies if you're soakin' bottom. Match the hatch with natural colors—chartreuse or pink in cloudy water. Hit these hot spots: Yaquina Bay jetties for stripers and bass at tide change, or Newport Reef offshore for limits on beads. Waldport's Alsea River mouth is firin' for steelhead too.

Recent reports from local charters show lingcod and rockfish dominating deep water hauls (400-600 ft), with boats like those out of San Diego-style ops up here bagging limits of vermilion rockfish, big lings up to 20 lbs, and bonus yellowtail pushing inshore. Salmon's heating too—chinook in the 15-25 lb class off Depoe Bay, plus albacore scouts showing early.

Jig those heavy metal yo-yos or knife jigs in chrome/pink for rockfish and lings—drop 'em straight down. For salmon, troll spoons like Coyote or green hoochies behind flashers. Bait-wise, live herring or sardines on circle hooks rule for kings; frozen anchovies for bottom dwellers. Hot spots: Hit Yaquina Bay jetties for perch and lings at incoming tide, or steam out to Otter Rock Reef for rockfish limits—anchor up, chum light, and let 'em come.

It's April 27, 2026, around 3 AM here on the dark side of the clock, and man, the ocean's callin' loud today. Tides are runnin' strong—expect a low around 1:55 AM at 0.6 feet, high at 7:26 AM hittin' 2.3 feet, then droppin' to 0.5 feet by 1:58 PM, and peak high at 7:48 PM near 2.7 feet. Big swings like this from tides4fishing charts mean currents are fired up, perfect for pushin' baitfish into the mix. Solunar activity's average, so fishin' should be steady, not epic, but hit those tidal shifts for bites. Weather's classic spring Oregon: partly cloudy, temps in the low 50s by dawn, windin' 10-15 knots from the northwest per local forecasts. Sunrise at 6:05 AM, sunset 8:15 PM—prime windows from dawn patrol to dusk. Fish activity's pickin' up with spring chinook movin' in. Recent reports from Fishin' Magician note spring salmon haulin' through the lower Columbia mouth, just north of us, with limits posted last weekend. Locals are pullin' limits of 10-20 lb kings, plus coho starters, rockfish to 5 pounds, and lingcod in the 15-30 lb class off Depoe Bay. Albacore ain't here yet, but petrale sole and Dungeness crab are hot bycatch. For lures, slam 'em with **Buzz Bombs** or **Jig Strikes** in chrome—yo-yo those over reefs for rockfish and lings. **Mojo Minnows** in herring pattern for salmon on the troll. Live bait? Herring chunks or anchovies on a spreader bar can't be beat; crab for bottom dwellers. Hot spots: **Yaquina Head** jetties for surf perch and lings—troll the kelp edges. **Cape Perpetua** reefs offshore, 40-60 feet, where yellowtail and bonito analogs like our jacks are schoolin' tight. Rig up tight, watch those swells, and get after it safe. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

It's early morning on April 24, 2026, and the conditions look prime for a solid day on the water or beach. Tides today: Low at 3:45 AM, high around 10:15 AM, then dropping low again by 4:30 PM—perfect falling tide action from noon on, per FishingReminder's coastal charts. Weather's cooperating with partly cloudy skies, temps in the mid-50s, light northwest winds at 5-10 knots, and a small swell under 4 feet. Sunrise hit at 6:15 AM, sunset at 8:05 PM, giving you a long window. Fish activity's heating up as water temps nudge 52°F. Recent reports from On The Water echo our local buzz: holdover striped bass equivalents like lingcod and rockfish are stacking near structure, with black rockfish and lingcod up to 20+ pounds hitting soft plastics and jigs. Chinook salmon are showing in nearshore waters, plus early albacore hints. Anglers last week pulled limits of vermilion rockfish and a few hefty cabezon off Depoe Bay—28- to 39-inchers on 6-10 inch jerkbaits rigged weightless. Best lures right now? Go with 7-inch soft plastic swimbaits like DuraTech jerkbaits on jigheads for stripers and lings—mimic that herring run. Jerkbaits, paddletail swimbaits, and SP Minnows for beach casters. Live bait shines too: sandworms, seaworms, or herring chunks outfish plugs in this chill. For bottom dwellers like flounder-style flatties (think petrale sole), Zobo rigs with clams or crabs. Hot spots: Hit Yaquina Bay jetties near Newport for falling tide reds and lings—work the rocks. Or Otter Rock Reef for rockfish limits; drop soft plastics deep.

Fish activity's rampin' up with warmin' waters; solunar peaks hit major at dawn and dusk, makin' twilight prime. Recent catches? Rockfish, lingcod, and whitefish are hot—Channel Islands reports nearby Oxnard fleets haulin' 200+ rockfish, 200 whitefish, 5 lingcod per light load just yesterday. Oregon side, expect similar offshore: limits on vermilion and canary rockfish, plus black rockfish stackin' in 60-120 feet.

Rockfish, lingcod, and whitefish are hot—Channel Islands reports nearby Oxnard fleets haulin' 200+ rockfish, 200 whitefish, 5 lingcod per light load just yesterday. Oregon side, expect similar offshore: limits on vermilion and canary rockfish, plus black rockfish stackin' in 60-120 feet. Salmon's slow but chinook showin' early near mouth of Columbia, and albacore might tease soon. Lingcod savages hittin' aggressive. Best lures? Jigs like 4-8 oz knife or poppin' styles in glow or chartreuse—drop 'em vertical over structure. Bucktails with soft plastics for rockfish. Swimbaits like Big Hammer in anchovy pattern for lings. Live bait? Sand shrimp or herring on circle hooks rules; mud shrimp if you're beach-bound. Twilight bites best on clear shallows. Hit these hot spots: Yaquina Bay jetties for rockfish and lings from shore, or Depoe Bay reefs offshore—20-40 miles out for the motherlode. Launch early, watch for swells.

Fish are active in pre-spawn mode thanks to steady 52°F ocean temps—salmon staging nearshore on bait balls, rockfish schooled on reefs 60-120 ft down. For lures, hammer 'em with chrome moochers or green-label spoons trolled 2.5-4 knots behind divers; top picks are Buzz Bomb jigs in pink or chartreuse for vertical drops. Live bait? Sand shrimp or herring chunks on circle hooks shine for bottom dwellers, while sardine-wrapped hoochies nail the kings. Hot spots right now: Yaquina Head north to Boiler Bay for salmon trolling—run 40-80 ft depths. Or hit Otter Rock reefs for a rockfish/lingcod slam on the incoming tide. Rig tight, watch the sets, and stay safe out there. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for daily updates! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

We're talking Pacific Ocean waters from Astoria down to the California border, and let me tell you, spring is heating up out here. Let's start with the tides. We're looking at a low tide at 5:42 AM this morning at 1.75 feet, with a high tide hitting around 10:52 AM at 6.54 feet. That midday high is going to push some baitfish into the shallows, so keep that in mind for your morning session. Now, the fish activity has been solid up the coast. Spring chinook and rockfish are starting to heat up in our waters, and the recent party boat reports from Northern California show some real promise. We've been seeing decent halibut and striped bass action in the bays, with some boats landing solid numbers. Lingcod have been cooperative too—the Gold Rush out of Westport just landed 91 black rockfish and 26 lingcod on a full day trip. For lures and bait, keep it simple. Fresh shrimp is your friend—a small piece on a double drop bottom rig works magic for bottom dwellers. Pair that with some Fishbites, and you're in business. For artificials, focus on your silhouette—dark lures against light conditions, bright lures when it's overcast. The fish key in on that profile. Here's where you need to be: the rocky jetties near Astoria are prime real estate right now for springtime action.

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 07:22:51 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things fishing along the Oregon coast. We're talking Pacific Ocean waters from Astoria down to the California border, and let me tell you, spring is heating up out here. Let's start with the tides. We're looking at a low tide at 5:42 AM this morning at 1.75 feet, with a high tide hitting around 10:52 AM at 6.54 feet. That midday high is going to push some baitfish into the shallows, so keep that in mind for your morning session. Now, the fish activity has been solid up the coast. Spring chinook and rockfish are starting to heat up in our waters, and the recent party boat reports from Northern California show some real promise. We've been seeing decent halibut and striped bass action in the bays, with some boats landing solid numbers. Lingcod have been cooperative too—the Gold Rush out of Westport just landed 91 black rockfish and 26 lingcod on a full day trip. For lures and bait, keep it simple. Fresh shrimp is your friend—a small piece on a double drop bottom rig works magic for bottom dwellers. Pair that with some Fishbites, and you're in business.

We're talkin' Pacific Ocean waters from Astoria down to Winchester Bay on this fine March 29th mornin'. Sunrise hit around 7:00 AM, sunset's comin' at 7:40 PM, givin' us a solid 12+ hours of daylight to chase bites. Tides are lookin' prime today per NOAA Tides & Currents—Nestucca Bay shows low at 8:09 AM around 5.5 ft, high slack mid-mornin' at 3.7 ft by early afternoon, then droppin' to 6:06 PM low at 6.1 ft. Fish the incomin' tide hard from low to flood for best action. Weather's typical spring coastal—cool temps in the 50s, light winds offshore, maybe some mist burnin' off by noon. Fish activity's heatin' up with springers on the move. Fresh bright Chinook salmon are pushin' in strong, hittin' bait like they mean it in deep slots, says Fish Sniffer reports. Rockfish are schoolin' aggressive off Winchester Bay—2-4 pounders averagin' firm white meat, per Southern Oregon Anglers Charter. Limits on Dungeness crab and solid halibut plus stripers comin' from Bay Area docks yesterday via Sportfishing Report. Bottom dwellers lovin' squid, shrimp drops, or jigs. Best lures? Plug-cut herring or Kwikfish divers for those spring Chinook. For rockfish, bounce screw-lock jigs with Sexy Shad soft plastics or Z Man GrubZ—imitates shrimp perfect. Live bait like herring or sand shrimp rules if you're driftin'. Hit these hot spots: Nestucca Bay for tidal rips and salmon slots, or Winchester Bay reefs for rockfish and crab pots. Launch early, stay safe out there. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

Salmon season's heatin' up soon—PFMC says ocean opener April 11 south of Pigeon Point, with quotas up to 3900 Chinook from Oregon border south to 40°10'. Forecasts for Klamath and Sacramento runs are stronger than '25, so pre-season lingcod, rockfish, and bottom dwellers are hot now. Yesterday's NorCal reports from Emeryville boats tallied 3 halibut and 6 stripers on full-day trips—similar action off Oregon with limits on sculpin, whitefish, and released sand bass/calicos further south. Local chatter's buzzin' on perch and lingcod stacks. Fish are active in shallows early, movin' shoreward with cooler waters.

Sunrise hit around 7:14 AM, sunset's at 7:31 PM per Pacific City tide charts, givin' us a solid 12 hours of daylight to chase bites. Weather's lookin' rowdy—Ocean Weather Service warns of a complex low pressure system brewin' gales offshore, so check NDBC buoy 46089 off Tillamook for swells up to 10-15 feet and winds gustin' 25-35 knots. Bundle up and stay safe nearshore. Tides today mirror Pacific City patterns: high around 3 AM at 8'4", low at 10 AM pushin' negative, then evenin' high. Fish the incomin' tide for best action—currents stir up baitfish. Fish activity's pickin' up this spring. Pacific Fishery Management Council's gearin' up for 2026 salmon measures, with Chinook seasons shapin' like last year and coho limits in Puget Sound areas spillin' over here. Recent counts show rockfish hauls in the thousands, lingcod bitin', and incidental halibut for trollers. ODFW's stockin' ponds like Big Creek Reservoir near Newport with thousands of trout, but ocean-wise, nearshore rockfish and lingcod are hot, plus early albacore scouts if temps climb—Winchester Bay charters rave about 15-30 lb tuna on summer runs usin' cedar plugs, feather jigs, and plastic squid trolled at 6-10 knots. For lures, go cedar plugs or feather jigs for pelagics; nearshore, try Z-Man Jerk ShadZ or Rapala Mooch Minnows on jigs for rockfish. Live bait? Sand shrimp or herring shines for bottom dwellers like lingcod and halibut. Hot spots: Hit the reefs off Newport for rockfish limits, or troll Winchester Bay 20-40 miles out if you're chasin' tuna precursors. Stay legal—check regs.

Weather's lookin' rowdy—Ocean Weather Service warns of a complex low pressure system brewin' gales offshore, so check NDBC buoy 46089 off Tillamook for swells up to 10-15 feet and winds gustin' 25-35 knots. Bundle up and stay safe nearshore. Tides today mirror Pacific City patterns: high around 3 AM at 8'4", low at 10 AM pushin' negative, then evenin' high. Fish the incomin' tide for best action—currents stir up baitfish. Fish activity's pickin' up this spring. Pacific Fishery Management Council's gearin' up for 2026 salmon measures, with Chinook seasons shapin' like last year and coho limits in Puget Sound areas spillin' over here. Recent counts show rockfish hauls in the thousands, lingcod bitin', and incidental halibut for trollers. ODFW's stockin' ponds like Big Creek Reservoir near Newport with thousands of trout, but ocean-wise, nearshore rockfish and lingcod are hot, plus early albacore scouts if temps climb—Winchester Bay charters rave about 15-30 lb tuna on summer runs usin' cedar plugs, feather jigs, and plastic squid trolled at 6-10 knots. For lures, go cedar plugs or feather jigs for pelagics; nearshore, try Z-Man Jerk ShadZ or Rapala Mooch Minnows on jigs for rockfish. Live bait? Sand shrimp or herring shines for bottom dwellers like lingcod and halibut. Hot spots: Hit the reefs off Newport for rockfish limits, or troll Winchester Bay 20-40 miles out if you're chasin' tuna precursors. Stay legal—check regs.

It's early morning here on March 18, 2026, and the Pacific's callin' us out. Sunrise hit at 7:22 AM, sunset around 7:26 PM per Pacific City tide charts, givin' us a solid 12 hours of daylight to chase 'em. Weather's cooperative—Port of Bandon reports lighter winds and fading swells, keepin' surf small, thigh to stomach high. Perfect for beach or boat action without gettin' pitched around. Tides are prime: NOAA at Waldport shows high at 12:06 AM (5.87 ft), low 5:43 AM (2.76 ft), high 11:34 AM (7.06 ft), and evenin' low 6:24 PM (0.51 ft). Fish the incomin' around noon for best bites as water pushes in. Fish are active, especially winter steelhead hammerin' the rivers feedin' the Pacific. Southern Oregon Anglers says Umpqua system's lit with chrome-bright dandies, 6-20 pounds, fresh from the salt. Drift roe or sand shrimp in holes, or cast spinners and spoons in tailouts. Lingcod and rockfish holdin' nearshore too, per recent forecasts, with some salmon showin' early in Columbia plumes. Limits? Guides report steady 4-8 steelhead per rod on good days, plus crab pots fillin' fast in Coquille River. Best lures: Bandit 300 Series deep-divers to 12 feet for trollin' structure—tough, wobblin' action pulls 'em from deep. For bait, roe clusters or sand shrimp can't be beat; rig on medium-heavy rods with levelwinds. Hot spots: Hit Pacific City beaches at low tide for surfperch, or Umpqua River mouth for steelhead—park at the jetty and work the tailouts. Nestucca Bay's another gem for incoming tides.

Solunar activity's average, but fishin' the incoming tide could spark some bites. Out in Depoe Bay, Tradewinds Charters reports limits of rockfish and strong lingcod action yesterday—nice fat ones hittin' the deck steady. Bottom fishin' open year-round, with new 2026 limits at 4 rockfish and 3 lingcod. Down in Winchester Bay, Umpqua River stripers are firin' up on the flats—guides slingin' live anchovies, herring, swimbaits, and topwaters for those 30-pound brawlers. Smallmouth bass crashin' the party too. Early spring Chinook buzz in rivers like the Rogue, but ocean's holdin' steady for bottom dwellers. Best lures right now? Jigs and swimbaits for lingcod and stripers; try medium-heavy spinnin' gear. Bait-wise, live herring or anchovies if you can get 'em—irresistible.

Weather's coastal classic: mild temps in the 50s, some wind off the water, but small craft advisory lingerin' till evening from recent NOAA warnings, so watch those swells near Pacific City. Fish activity's heatin' up early spring style. ODFW just stocked lakes like Cleawoux near Florence with over 4,000 trout, and Alder Lake got 636 legals plus trophies—fresh fish bitin' in nearshore bays. Ocean-side, coastal bottomfish season kicked off, with canary rockfish limits at five per day in areas from Ilwaco to Neah Bay per Peninsula Daily News. Locals report steady lingcod and rockfish hauls, plus early chinook showin' in the Columbia plume—plunkers nailin' 'em on herring. Salmon seasons gettin' hashed out at PFMC Newport meetin' soon, but springers are active. Best lures?

Weather's classic early spring: mostly cloudy, temps in the mid-40s to low 50s, light winds from the south at 5-10 knots, per NDBC marine forecast. Bundle up, but no big storms brewin'. Fish activity's heatin' up! ODFW's herring survey outta Yaquina Bay on Feb 26 showed dense schools of adult herring from Sawyer's Landing to the jetties—anglers haulin' limits easy (25 lbs daily aggregate).

For lures, sling Kastmasters or small jigs in silver for herring; buzzbaits or soft plastics for stripers. Live bait? Fresh herring or anchovies rule—net 'em yourself if legal. Sand shrimp or squid strips for bottom dwellers. Hot spots: Yaquina Bay jetties for herring frenzy—watch for commercial traffic.

It's early mornin' here on March 8th, 2026, and the Pacific's callin' with some prime conditions brewin'. Sunrise hit around 7:22 AM PST, sunset's at 6:41 PM per Tides4Fishing charts for Nestucca Bay—plenty of daylight to chase bites. Tides are lookin' solid: high at 1:51 AM reachin' 7.3 feet, low at 7:46 AM droppin' to 1.3 feet, then high again at 1:34 PM toppin' 8.8 feet, and low at 8:36 PM at -1.0 feet. Those swingin' currents off Nestucca and Barview are stirrin' up the bottom-dwellers—fish the incomin' on that afternoon high for best action. Weather's mild, typical early spring—light winds, cool temps in the 50s, no big swells reported from Ocean Weather Service briefings. Groundfish are boomin' too; NOAA says all West Coast stocks like redbanded rockfish and lingcod are fully rebuilt as of late 2025, with hauls pushin' 550 pounds in a single day off the Oregon coast.

Sun, 08 Mar 2026 07:23:06 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things fishin' along the Oregon Coast. It's early mornin' here on March 8th, 2026, and the Pacific's callin' with some prime conditions brewin'. Sunrise hit around 7:22 AM PST, sunset's at 6:41 PM per Tides4Fishing charts for Nestucca Bay—plenty of daylight to chase bites. Tides are lookin' solid: high at 1:51 AM reachin' 7.3 feet, low at 7:46 AM droppin' to 1.3 feet, then high again at 1:34 PM toppin' 8.8 feet, and low at 8:36 PM at -1.0 feet. Those swingin' currents off Nestucca and Barview are stirrin' up the bottom-dwellers—fish the incomin' on that afternoon high for best action. Weather's mild, typical early spring—light winds, cool temps in the 50s, no big swells reported from Ocean Weather Service briefings. Groundfish are boomin' too; NOAA says all West Coast stocks like redbanded rockfish and lingcod are fully rebuilt as of late 2025, with hauls pushin' 550 pounds in a single day off the Oregon coast.

We’re sitting in a small swing-tide pattern this morning. NOAA’s Taft/Siletz Bay and Garibaldi bar predictions show an early **high** just after 2 a.m., dropping to a skinny **low** around 9 a.m., then building back to an afternoon high in the mid‑2 p.m. range. That gives you sweet moving water at first light and again early afternoon. Sunrise along the north and central coast is right around **6:45 a.m.**, with sunset close to **6:10 p.m.**, so you’ve got decent light both sides of the day to work that tide. According to OceanWeather’s offshore briefing, we’ve got a weak warm front sliding through with relatively mild SW winds, seas in the 5–7 foot range and a longer-period swell. That’s fishable in the lee of the headlands and inside the bays, but bar conditions will still be the boss—check with the Coast Guard and ODFW marine page before you launch. **Fish activity & recent catches:** Charter skippers out of Garibaldi, Depoe Bay, and Newport have been picking away at good **rockfish** numbers with a mix of blacks, blues, and a few chunky canaries in 60–120 feet, plus some nice **lingcod** off the rock piles. Englund Marine’s coastal roundup reports limits or near-limits on many recent trips when the bar’s let folks outside. Closer in, surf folks around Pacific City and Newport beaches have been sliding a few **surfperch** onto the sand on the flooding tide, with scattered **greenling** and the odd cabezon around the rocky pockets when the swell backs off. Salmon are still off the table, and ocean halibut hasn’t kicked open yet, so most of the action is bottomfish with a side of surf species. **Best lures and baits:** For rockfish and lings: - A 4–6 oz leadhead with a **white or rootbeer curly-tail grub** has been hot on the reefs. - Knife jigs and metal like P-Line Laser Minnows in 3–6 oz are putting bigger lings in the box—drop to bottom, three fast cranks, and yo‑yo. - Bait anglers are doing well with **herring or sand shrimp** strips on standard two‑hook droppers. For surfperch: - Fishbites or Gulp! sandworm in camo or bloody are top dogs. - Natural **sand shrimp, clam neck, or mole crabs** are still king if you’re willing to dig. Inside the bays, smaller swimbaits and 1–2 oz jigheads tipped with herring are finding resident rockfish and the occasional ling on jetty edges during that incoming push. **Hot spots to consider:** - **Tillamook Bay / Garibaldi reef line:** The outer reefs straight off the south jetty have been steady for rockfish and lings when the bar is green‑lighted. Work 70–110 feet with heavy jigs on the first part of the flood. - **Depoe Bay / Lincoln City stretch:** The hard structure north and south of Depoe Bay—those jagged pinnacles in 60–90 feet—have been giving up a nice grade of black rockfish and some early‑season lings. Launch out of Depoe for quick access if the swell cooperates. If you’re bank‑bound, the **south jetty a This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

It's early March 6th, 2026, and the Pacific's callin' us out—sunrise hit around 6:50 AM, sunset 'bout 6:10 PM, givin' us a solid 11 hours of daylight to chase bites. Weather's lookin' cooperative today: mild temps in the low 50s, light winds from the south at 5-10 knots, partial sun with a chance of spotty showers—perfect for not gettin' skunked. Tides? Low slack around 8 AM now, floodin' up to high at 2 PM near Newport and Brookings, then ebbin' strong by evenin'. Fish the incomin' tide for best action, per ODFW marine reports. Ocean salmon season's closed till PFMC sorts 2026 regs in March, but rivers and bays are heatin' up. Yaquina Bay's packed with spawnin' herring schools from Sawyer's Landing to South Beach—ODFW survey Feb 26 found dense adults, easy 25-pound limits on sabikis. That's drawin' predators. Offshore, minimal effort last week due to swells, but Newport boats averaged 3 rockfish and 1.5 lingcod per angler; lingcod's solid till June closure. Rivers? Chetco's on fire—guides like Wild Rivers Fishing report 3-6 steelhead daily side-driftin' roe, beads, or Corkies; fish spread system-wide with good flows holdin'. Rogue River's got early spring kings showin'—plunkers and boaters nabbin' wild/hatchery mix, over a dozen Tuesday on the lower stretches. South Fork Eel droppin' to 2,400 cfs, fresh steelies and downers waitin'. Artificial lures with barbless hooks only April 1-Sept 30 on some spots. Hot spots: Anchor Rogue edges for springers, or hit Chetco runs. For ocean, try Depoe Bay kelp beds once it calms, or Yaquina for herring buffet turnin' into rockfish party. Best lures? Roe clusters, Corkies, beads for steelhead; offshore, long-leader setups for bottomfish. Bait? Fresh herring chunks or live roe—can't beat 'em.

Sunrise was 6:48 AM, sunset 6:12 PM—plenty of daylight to chase 'em. Fish are wakin' up after winter; lingcod opener just kicked off March 1st, and they're bitin' good in 100-200 feet. ODFW reports solid hauls lately: limits of lings to 25 pounds off Depoe Bay, plus rockfish stacks—canary, yellowtail, black—up to 20 per rod. Albacore tunas are south for now, but surfperch and redtail surfperch are hot on beaches, with folks pullin' 15-30 fish limits. Cabezon and petrale sole roundin' out the mix from recent creel surveys. For lures, nothin' beats herring-scented jigs like the Dirty Jigs Ling Wrecker in chartreuse or glow—drop 'em straight down for lings. Buzz Bombs in 4-6 inch chrome for rockfish. Bait-wise, live sand shrimp or mud shrimp rules the surf for perch; whole frozen herring or sardines on circle hooks for bottom dwellers offshore. Hit these hot spots: Yaquina Head near Newport for lingcod jiggin'—rocks light up at slack tide. Or Short Beach at Oswald West for perch pilin' up on the incoming.

Chinook numbers surged in Sacramento per Pacific Fisheries Management Council, signalin' good ocean returns. For lures, rig up Strike King Pro-Model Jigs or Baby Squadron Swimbait Heads—they punch through cover for rockfish and lings. Best bait?

Fish the incomin' tides hard—currents stir up the forage. Weather's cooperative, mild coastal temps in the 40s-50s, light winds off the pac, no big storms ragin' like that East Coast mess. ODFW's latest buzz from their Feb 20 commission meetin' says commercial Dungeness crab's still hot but gear tweaks comin' for whale safety—means less pots out, more room for us anglers. Fish activity's pickin' up post-winter solstice. Recent reports from ODFW and coastal landings show solid lingcod and rockfish limits off Newport and Brookings, with black rockfish and cabezon stackin' up near reefs. Surf perch and striped perch hammerin' beaches, and early spring Chinook scouts in rivers like the Umpqua—watch temp rules. Charter logs echo Cali neighbors with whitefish, calico bass, and halibut showin', so expect similar off Tillamook or Depoe Bay: 20-100 fish days on half-days. Best lures? Strike King's Bleeding Bait Spinnerbait for that bloody attractant on bass and perch, or Mr. Crappie Teen-Zee Slabalicious under a bobber for slab crappie in bays. Natural bait kings: herring strips or squid for bottom dwellers, sand shrimp for surf perch.

Let's dive into what's happening out there today. According to tide data from the Netarts area, we're looking at a high tide at 12 noon sitting around 5.8 feet, with a low tide coming in at 5:41 AM at negative 0.2 feet. Over in Pacific City, we've got a nice high tide at 1:16 AM at 7.3 feet. The tide's currently rising in Brookings Chetco Cove, so if you're heading out to those southern spots, you've got good water movement working in your favor. Now here's what's really important—whale entanglements have been a growing concern along our Oregon coast since 2014, particularly with the humpback population rebounding. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is actively working on conservation measures for our Dungeness crab fishery, so keep an eye on any new regulations. Speaking of Dungeness crab, that's been the real prize lately for our commercial fleet working out of Newport and other ports. If you're targeting saltwater species, your best bets are going to be with artificial lures—soft plastics with jig heads have been performing exceptionally well in February conditions. Strike King's KVD Jerkbaits and their specialized crappie rigs are solid choices. For inshore work, light tackle fishing and bottom fishing techniques are your bread and butter right now. Pacific City and the Netarts Bay area are hot spots worth your time—excellent structure and good bait concentration this time of year. The Brookings area down south is also producing if you're willing to make the drive. Thanks for tuning in, folks. Make sure you subscribe for more reports. This has been a quiet please production.

Newport and Brookings are both showing similar patterns—excellent conditions for working the flats and near-shore structure. The ocean's been relatively cooperative lately, and according to the latest Pacific briefing, we've got a low pressure system tracking south, so keep an eye on conditions. **What's Been Biting** Tradewinds Charters out of Depoe Bay is reporting strong fishing action. Their bottom fishing trips are consistently producing Lingcod, Sea Bass, Canaries, and Cabezon—and remember, we're working with a four Rockfish and three Lingcod limit right now. Party boats down the California coast have been lighting up with Sculpin, Sanddab, and Whitefish on recent half-day trips, which tells us the bite is active across the region. **Best Tackle and Bait** For your tackle box, you'll want soft plastics and jig heads—they're absolutely money in these winter conditions. Vertical jigging works killer on the deeper structure. If you're throwing hardware, spinnerbaits with bleeding skirts are producing, and don't sleep on simple live bait presentations when the bite gets selective. **Hot Spots to Target** Depoe Bay is your premier destination—Tradewinds boasts a 98% whale-watching sighting rate, but more importantly for us, their bottom fishing trips are consistently full with quality catches. If you want freshwater options, the Crooked River and Lower Deschutes are both holding winter steelhead, with success on nymphs and small streamers.

Here's what I can provide based on the search results: --- **Oregon Coast Fishing Report – Wednesday, February 11, 2026** Conditions are shaping up nicely for coastal anglers today. The Depoe Bay area is showing a high tide of 7.81 feet at 5:31 AM with a low of 1.94 feet at 1:16 PM, followed by another high of 5.51 feet at 8:21 PM. Over in Pacific City, expect similar tidal movement with a high of 7.1 feet early morning. The big news: **Free Fishing Weekend arrives this Saturday and Sunday, February 14-15**. Both residents and nonresidents can fish, clam, and crab for free with no licenses required. Crab, bay clam, and mussel harvests are currently open coastwide, though razor clam digging is closed south of Cape Blanco. Recent saltwater reports show Barred Sand Bass activity around Point Loma and coastal areas has been solid. For lures, the College Fishing National Championship winners relied on glide baits, swimbaits, and lipless crankbaits in gold and flashy colors—tactics that translate well to Oregon waters. **Hot spots to consider:** The Siletz River offers excellent steelhead opportunities through April, with February being prime season.

It's February 9th, 2026, and we're lookin' at a crisp Pacific mornin' with clear, cold conditions holdin' steady—temps hoverin' in the low 40s, light winds from the north per the Ocean Prediction Center's latest synopsis, and a weak front slidin' south. Sunrise kicked off around 7:15 AM, sunset's at 5:45 PM, givin' ya solid daylight for beach or boat action. Tides are prime today at Barview near Tillamook Bay and Pacific City spots: high at 5:13 AM pushin' 7.3 feet, droppin' low around 11 AM to about 1.2 feet, then evenin' high near 5 PM. Fish the outgoin' for best bites, as currents stir up the bottom. Winter steelhead are the stars right now—late runs peakin' in coastal rivers like the Rogue flowin' to the Pacific, with solid counts at Willamette Falls per The Guide's Forecast. ODFW reports steelhead throughout southwest systems, plus good crappie and perch in bays. Anglers are pullin' limits of 8-inch crappies from Wolf Creek Reservoir types, and crabbin's hot in Florence with meaty keepers. Offshore, lingcod and rockfish are showin', though counts are steady not wild—think a dozen per rod on half-days. Bite's slowed by low, clear water, but rain's comin' to flush 'em. For lures, tie on Strike King's Mr. Crappie Krappie Kicker swim jig or Teen-Zee Slabalicious for slabs—spear heads slice through current. Steelheaders, drift yarn or plugs; bait-wise, fresh roe or shrimp rules. Cold water means slow presentations. Hit these hot spots: mouth of Tillamook Bay near Garibaldi for steelies and perch (watch for that great white pinged last month!), or Pacific City beaches on the low tide for surf perch and maybe a lingcod jig. Rogue River lower stretches if you're river-bound—year-round salmon and steelhead there. Bundle up, check regs, and stay safe out there. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports!

It's February 8th, 2026, and we're lookin' at a classic winter setup off the Pacific—choppy but fishable if you're geared right. Weather's got north winds 10-20 knots buildin' today per the Ocean Prediction Center, with seas 8-11 feet offshore. Bundle up, that chill's bitin' harder than the blues. Sunrise around 7:15 AM, sunset 5:30 PM—plenty of daylight for a dawn patrol. Tides at Newport from NOAA show high at 3:38 AM (8.47 ft), low 10:12 AM (1.80 ft), high 4:11 PM, low 9:37 PM. Fish the incomin' tide mid-mornin' when current rips. Fish activity's hot on groundfish—NOAA Fisheries just bumped limits on shortspine thornyhead and kin 'cause they're more abundant off the West Coast. Recent reports mirror SoCal trends with rockfish hauls, lingcod, and occasional yellowtail snappers poppin'. Locals are pullin' limits of vermilion rockfish and sculpin in close. Salmon runs holdin' steady per Columbia River updates, but stay offshore for the deep-dwellers. Best lures? Jig with 3/4-oz lipless crankbaits or Z-Man soft plastics on jigheads for bottom bouncers—mimics shrimp in the cold. Artificials rule, but live bait like silkworm pupae, herring strips, or shrimp shreds the deal for picky lings and rockfish. Hot spots: Yaquina Bay jetties for nearshore rockfish on the flood tide, or 60-150 miles out from Florence to Point St. George—target 100-200 ft bottoms where the thornyheads stack up.

Let's start with the tides. Over in Lincoln City, we're looking at a high tide of 9.22 feet hitting around 12:33 PM, with a low tide of -1.51 feet expected around 8:02 PM. That's some serious tidal swing, so plan your outings accordingly. Sunrise is around 7:02 AM and sunset comes in at 4:57 PM, so you've got a decent window to get out there and wet a line. **Winter Steelhead are Hot Right Now** If you're chasing steelhead on the North Coast, conditions have been fair to good this past week. The Nestucca River, Wilson, and North Fork Nehalem Rivers are all fishing well and producing solid numbers of hatchery steelhead. If river conditions aren't cooperating with winter flooding or ice, don't overlook the still-water options—Coffenbury Lake, Vernonia Pond, Lost Lake, and Sunset Lake have all been stocked with surplus hatchery winter steelhead, which can be a fun and unique way to hook into steel. **What's Working Right Now** Out of Southwest Oregon, Lost Creek Reservoir is showing great reports for folks trolling rainbow trout. Diamond Lake has ice fishing opportunities starting up, and that should produce some solid action. For bait and lures, green pumpkin patterns are absolutely crushing it right now. Think wacky-rigged soft plastics, chatterbaits, and jigs in green pumpkin colors. Hair jigs are also producing when fish get active. If you're working deeper water, spoons and crankbaits are money. Magnum offerings are performing well too—don't be afraid to go big. **Hot Spots to Target** Head up to the **Nestucca River** for some of the best steelhead opportunity on the coast. The hatchery runs are still solid, and bank access is solid throughout. If you want a completely different experience, **Lost Lake** offers peaceful still-water steelhead fishing that can surprise you on any given day. The key to success right now is adjusting your approach based on water conditions. Check access before you head out—winter flooding can change things quick. And remember, maximize your distance from other anglers and boats out there. Thanks for tuning in to the report, and be sure to subscribe for your weekly Oregon coast fishing intel.

It's early February 2nd, 2026, and the Pacific's callin' with that crisp winter bite. Sunrise hit around 7:30 AM PST, sunset's pushin' 5:30 PM—plenty of daylight to wet a line before the chill sets in.

Fish the incomin' tide hard, especially slack turns when they feed aggressive. NOAA Tides & Currents backs those swings, makin' for strong currents off Pacific City and Newport. Weather's typical Oregon feisty—chance of rain, small craft advisory for coastal waters from Cape Falcon south, per National Weather Service marine forecast. Winds pickin' up, waves 6-10 feet, so bundle up and watch those jetties. Fish activity's hot right now! Spreaker's Oregon Coast Fishing Report from Feb 1 says rockfish, surfperch, and pelagics are bitin' strong in early February—limits comin' easy offshore and from beaches. ODFW Southwest Zone reports rockfish 'round Coos Bay jetties on jigs with twister tail trailers, surfperch steady, and winter steelhead showin' in rivers like South Umpqua and Rogue. Numbers are solid: fresh reports of multiple rockfish per drop, perch schools thick, a few steelies clipped too. Best lures? Jigs tipped with twister tails or rubber shrimp for bottomfish—ODFW swears by 'em near slack. For perch and pelagics, try green pumpkin soft plastics like Zoom Trick Worms wacky-rigged, or chatterbaits fast in clear water. Natural shad swimbaits on hybrid heads for suspended fish. Bait-wise, worms on bottom jigs or PowerBait for bank trout near dams, but lures rule the ocean game. Hot spots: Hit the jetties at Coos Bay for rockfish—move spots if needed. Or beach cast at Pacific City for surfperch on the big high tide. Offshore Tillamook rocks if you brave the swell. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports!

ODFW's Marine Zone report says Pacific halibut's closed till mid-February proposals, but groundfish regs are evolvin' with new exclusions off central coast to open spots for rockfish and flats. Fish activity's pickin' up post-storms—recent hauls show rockfish bitin' steady around jetties like Coos Bay, surfperch schools thick in the surf, and lingcod haulin' on bottom rigs.

It's January 31st, 2026, and we're lookin' at a wild one out in the Pacific—stormy seas churnin' up 10-15 foot swells per the National Weather Service marine forecast, with south winds gustin' 20-30 knots into Sunday. Skies gray and drizzly, water temps risin' a bit to spark some action, but stay safe out there, no hero stuff. Sunrise hit around 7:30 AM, sunset 'bout 5:15 PM. Tides at Pacific City show low at 4:53 AM around 3.2 feet, high creepin' to 6-7 feet mid-mornin', then droppin' off—prime movin' water for bites if you time it right, per tides.net charts. Fishin's slow but not dead. ODFW rec report says winter steelhead's heatin' up on North Coast rivers with incoming rain, good numbers expected. Offshore, stormy seas mean slow bites on salmon—Chinook season's still tight, mostly releases, but a few hatchery coho and silvers showin' near Brookings per local charter chatter. Lingcod and rockfish are boomin' in 100-200 feet, surfperch hammerin' the beaches, and halibut poppin' light but steady. Recent counts: handfuls of 5-15 lb lings, perch limits easy. Best lures? Go Schneider-style offshore trolls for pelagics—big feathers or wahoo jigs in bright colors. For bottom bouncers, Bleeding Bait Spinnerbaits or hair jigs in green pumpkin. Rockfish love Walmart squid skirts or herring chunks—deadly cheap and effective. Bait-wise, live herring or crab for perch and bottom dwellers; herring strips rule for lings. Hit these hot spots: Nestucca Bay jetties for perch and steelhead runs, or Rogue River mouth for silvers if rivers drop. Wear your floaties, check ODFW regs—new 2026 rules on bag limits.

It's Friday morning, January 30th, and we're lookin' at another rugged day on the Pacific. Sunrise hit around 7:40 AM, sunset's pushin' 5:20 PM per Pacific City tides data. Tides today mirror yesterday's: low at 2:32 AM around 3'7", high 8:30 AM at 8'8", low 4:22 PM at -0'7", high 11 PM at 6'1". Fish the incomin' tide moves if you can get out. Weather's no joke—ODFW's Marine Zone report from January 29 says ocean conditions kept most anglers docked last week. Ocean Weather Service forecasts north winds 15-25 knots offshore, seas runnin' 8-12 feet from Cape Lookout to Florence and beyond. Gale force possible soon, so stay shore-bound unless you're in a beast of a boat. Brookings saw a few brave souls last week, pullin' about 3 rockfish and 1 lingcod per angler, per ODFW. Depoe Bay, Newport, Charleston? Dead quiet, no activity. Fish activity's slow but pickin' up in pockets—rockfish and lingcod leadin' the dance down south. Salmon and halibut seasons closed tight. Remember, new for 2026: Ocean Endorsement required, no quillback or yelloweye rockfish, cabezon banned til July. Best lures right now? Jiggin' spoons or lipless crankbaits to mimic baitfish—slow lifts for lethargic winter fish. Finesse jigs or suspending jerkbaits like the KVD 300 Deep on sunny spells. Bait? Pink worms on jigs if allowed, or coffee-scented tubes for that extra kick. Hot spots: Try Brookings for lingcod limits if seas lay down, or Yaquina Bay jetties for perch and rockfish from shore.

Weather's holdin' steady: partly cloudy, mid-40s, light winds off the ocean, perfect for not freezin' your fingers off while castin'. Tides today? NOAA predictions for spots like Coos Bay and Newport show risin' action early—high around 6-8 feet by mid-mornin', droppin' to lows of 1-3 feet afternoon, then evenin' highs pushin' 5-8 feet.

Bull trout holdin' strong as a stronghold. Coastal reports from Tradewinds Charters in Depoe Bay and Point Loma Sportfishing echo limits on lingcod, rockfish, and barred sand bass hittin' half-days. Razor clam digs kicked off Jan 29 per WDFW, meanin' beaches are prime. Dungeness crab pots droppin' hot since Jan 1, per National Fisherman. Recent catches? Boat crews boatin' lingcod to 20+ lbs, rockfish stacks, and salmon pushin' 15-25 lbs in Columbia plume and Deschutes mouth. Surf anglers nailin' perch and maybe stripers on incoming. Best lures: Silver-blue wedge distance lures for mackerel, bass, pollock—they sink negative and cast miles. Jigs and crankbaits trollin' 1.1-1.5 mph for rockfish. Skip PowerBait MaxScent if tourney-bound, but Gulp! or original PowerBait shine. Bait kings: Live herring or gizzard shad rigs for salmon, bloodworms or mussels for perch and clams. Crab pots loaded with herring. Hot spots: Hit Yaquina Bay jetties near Newport for tidal rips and rockfish—troll deep.

Ocean weather's calm with high pressure ridin' north, light winds, cold clear water per ocean.weather.gov—fish are edgy but feedin' pre-front. Action's hot on hatchery Chinook salmon and winter steelhead in the lower Columbia River mouth to I-5 bridge, open Jan 1 to Mar 31 says wellness.alibaba—anglers pullin' 1-2 fat hatchery kings over 20 inches daily, plus steelies on drifts.

It's a crisp winter morning on the Pacific, and we're talkin' prime time for winter steelhead pushin' into the rivers feedin' our big blue backyard. ODFW's latest weekly report out January 22 says winter steelhead fishing's holdin' steady statewide, with coastal streams seein' good action as waters drop from recent rains. Crabbing's slow in Newport but pickin' up strong in Florence with fat, meaty keepers. Tides today around Brookings and Chetco Cove—high at about 4AM pushin' 7 feet, droppin' to low mid-mornin' 'round 2-3 feet, then risin' again afternoon. Newport's Yaquina River mirrorin' that with lows near 9AM and highs buildin' to 3PM. Sunrise kicks off at 7:36AM, sunset's 5:23PM, givin' ya solid daylight windows. Weather's comin' in chilly with a chance of rain per NWS marine forecast, winds light outta the north, seas calm enough for nearshore runs—bundle up against them cold fronts hittin' the coast. Fish activity's hot on steelhead, with fair numbers showin' in coastal rivers like the Rogue, Chetco, and Sixes. ODFW notes solid winter steelie bite, and Guide's Forecast reports early runs climbin' as rivers clear. Lingcod's very good out of Brookings from Bird Island north, per Fishing the North Coast updates. Crabs improvin' too. Limits ain't blowin' doors off, but persistent anglers are hookin' 5-10 pound bright fish daily. Best lures? Go Rage DB Craw or Sexy Bug soft plastics scented up for steelies—coffee scent masks human stink and draws 'em in. Smaller MagLip plugs or Corkies for driftin'. Bait-wise, fresh roe clusters or prawns unbeatable for plunkin' lower Rogue. For ocean, bottom sweeper jigs or AVA jigs on dabs and lings. Hit these hot spots: Lower Rogue near mouth for morning plunkers grabbin' steelhead at dawn, and Brookings nearshore from Bird Island north for lings and crabbing.

It's Friday mornin', January 23, 2026, and we're lookin' at a typical winter bite out here on the Oregon Pacific—cold fronts pushin' through makin' it tough, per BassForecast's 10-day outlook for the Pacific Northwest. Bite's rated TOUGH in winter pattern, with fish schooled deep on dropoffs, ledges, and steep banks. Weather's brisk: highs in the low 40s, gusty winds from the southwest per Ocean Weather Service briefs, and waves buildin'—stay cautious on jetties. Sunrise 'round 7:45 AM PST, sunset by 5:15 PM. Tides at Newport's Yaquina River show low at 8:26 AM (2.95 ft), high 2:08 PM; similar at Coos Bay fallin' early, per Tide-Forecast and NOAA. Fish the incoming around slack for best action—ODFW reports rockfish near jetties on jigs with twister tails, surfperch in the surf. Recent catches? ODFW's Jan 22 rec report notes winter steelhead slow but present on North Coast like Nehalem and Nestucca—hatchery clips only, wild C&R. Coos Basin bottomfish fair one day, good the next; perch schools in estuaries. Cole Rivers Hatchery tallies summer steelhead at 2,111 season total. Amounts are modest—dozens reported, not limits—but quality: 25-inch trout risin' wary. Go-to lures: Suspendin' jerkbaits, spoons, drop shots, Ned rigs for deep suspenders, per BassForecast winter tips. Buzzbaits like Strike King's 3/16oz if wind calms. Bait? Worms on bottom jigs for perch, PowerBait near dams, or minnow patterns stripped low-light. ODFW pushes single barbless hooks, keep 'em wet. Hot spots: Yaquina Bay jetties for rockfish—move if needed. Neck-downs off Depoe Bay for steelhead migrants. Bundle up, fish smart. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports!

Down in Coos Bay, similar story—high at 3:28 AM. Water temperatures are still chilly this time of year, which means the fish are holding tight to structure. The National Weather Service is calling for northeast winds at 5 to 10 knots today with seas running 5 to 6 feet. Offshore winds are continuing through midweek, which means we've got decent boating conditions if you can get out there. We're looking at sunrise around 7:45 AM and sunset closer to 4:50 PM—short days, but that shouldn't stop you. **What's Biting** Here's the hot news: recent reports show ling cod are absolutely biting on the rocks, and bottom fishing for rock cod has been excellent when conditions cooperate. Point Loma and various charters have been pulling barred surfperch and whitefish consistently—one charter logged 43 whitefish and 15 barred perch on a recent 1/2 day. Winter months are typically fantastic here if you get the right window. **Tackle & Technique** For lures, you can't go wrong with soft plastics rigged on jig heads for bottom work—they mimic natural baitfish movement in these cold currents. Fast-moving plugs and vertical jigging work well for mid-water species. If you're after trophy stuff, spinnerbaits built for speed in fast current are money, especially ones imitating schooling baitfish patterns. **Hot Spots** Hit the waters around Newport and Depoe Bay—both have been producing solid reports. Bottom structure near Coos Bay's rocky areas is holding good populations of ling cod right now.

Offshore and nearshore, the ocean’s laying down a bit this morning, with light northwest swell and a chilly, gray start. According to the Ocean Prediction Center, weak high pressure is in place now, with a coastal trough expected mid‑week, so winds stay moderate today but seas will be lumpier the farther you run. Tides are moving nicely for a bite window. Tide-Forecast’s Barview station at Tillamook Bay shows a morning high around 6:07 a.m. at just under 7.5 feet, dropping to a low early afternoon around 1:38 p.m. around a foot and a half. That gives you a classic falling tide through the late morning, which usually wakes up rockfish, lingcod, and nearshore feeders all along the Tillamook and Nestucca reefs. Sunrise along the north and central coast is right around 7:55 a.m., with sunset about 4:55 p.m., so you’ve got a tight winter window. First light through mid‑morning and the last two hours of daylight are still your best shots. According to recent reports from Oregon coastal charters and Oregon Fish and Wildlife updates, the most consistent action has been nearshore bottom fish. Boats working 40–120 feet off Garibaldi and Pacific City have been boxing good numbers of black rockfish with a smattering of canary and copper rockfish, plus a few legal lingcod most trips. On better weather days, some six‑ to ten‑pound lings have come off the harder structure. Crabbing has slowed a notch in the bays but is still worth a soak outside the bars when the swell allows, with boat limits not uncommon after a half‑day soak on fresh bait. Best lures right now: - For rockfish: 2–4 ounce lead-head jigs with curly‑tail grubs in motor oil, root beer, or white; also small metal spoons and shrimp flies tipped with a little bait. - For lingcod: heavier metal jigs, 6–10 ounces, in chrome, blue, or glow; large swimbaits on stout jigheads, especially in green/white or root beer/pear laced with scent. Best bait: herring strips, squid, or sand shrimp on a two‑hook bottom rig. A strip of fresh rockfish belly on a jig can turn lookers into biters. Fish activity today should track that falling tide: expect a slower start right at slack, then a noticeable pick‑up as the water starts dumping out of the bays and across the reefs. If the overcast holds and the wind stays down, the midday lull may be short. Couple of local hot spots to circle: - The Three Arch Rocks and nearshore reefs out of Garibaldi: classic winter rockfish and lingcod country when the ocean’s calm enough to work close to the rocks. - The reef line straight out from Pacific City off Cape Kiwanda: consistent mixed‑bag bottom fishing, plus decent crab off the sand edges when the swell gives you a break. Inside the estuaries, that outgoing tide at Tillamook and Nestucca favors slow‑rolled herring or large plugs along current seams for the odd feeder or early‑season chinook staging near the jaws, but most salt effort righ This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

That gives you a classic falling tide through the late morning, which usually wakes up rockfish, lingcod, and nearshore feeders all along the Tillamook and Nestucca reefs. Sunrise along the north and central coast is right around 7:55 a.m., with sunset about 4:55 p.m., so you’ve got a tight winter window. First light through mid‑morning and the last two hours of daylight are still your best shots. According to recent reports from Oregon coastal charters and Oregon Fish and Wildlife updates, the most consistent action has been nearshore bottom fish. Boats working 40–120 feet off Garibaldi and Pacific City have been boxing good numbers of black rockfish with a smattering of canary and copper rockfish, plus a few legal lingcod most trips. On better weather days, some six‑ to ten‑pound lings have come off the harder structure. Crabbing has slowed a notch in the bays but is still worth a soak outside the bars when the swell allows, with boat limits not uncommon after a half‑day soak on fresh bait. Best lures right now: - For rockfish: 2–4 ounce lead-head jigs with curly‑tail grubs in motor oil, root beer, or white; also small metal spoons and shrimp flies tipped with a little bait. - For lingcod: heavier metal jigs, 6–10 ounces, in chrome, blue, or glow; large swimbaits on stout jigheads, especially in green/white or root beer/pear laced with scent. Best bait: herring strips, squid, or sand shrimp on a two‑hook bottom rig. A strip of fresh rockfish belly on a jig can turn lookers into biters. Fish activity today should track that falling tide: expect a slower start right at slack, then a noticeable pick‑up as the water starts dumping out of the bays and across the reefs. If the overcast holds and the wind stays down, the midday lull may be short. Couple of local hot spots to circle: - The Three Arch Rocks and nearshore reefs out of Garibaldi: classic winter rockfish and lingcod country when the ocean’s calm enough to work close to the rocks. - The reef line straight out from Pacific City off Cape Kiwanda: consistent mixed‑bag bottom fishing, plus decent crab off the sand edges when the swell gives you a break. Inside the estuaries, that outgoing tide at Tillamook and Nestucca favors slow‑rolled herring or large plugs along current seams for the odd feeder or early‑season chinook staging near the jaws, but most salt effort righ This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 219 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI3844944348 Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon coastal fishing report. Out here this morning we’ve got a classic winter pattern: cool, gray, light northerly to variable winds, and a long-period swell laying things down between sets. Air temps are riding the low 40s early, pushing into the 50s mid‑day. Marine layer’s hanging on, but visibility is decent between showers. Sunrise is right around 7:55 a.m. with sunset close to 4:55 p.m., so you’ve got a tight winter window and the best bite stacked at first light and on the afternoon tide push. Tides are running big. Tide-Forecast’s Coos Bay table shows a morning high around 6:30 a.m. at a bit over 7 feet, with a low early afternoon around 1:20 p.m. near 2 feet. Up north, Barview in Tillamook Bay is similar, with a pre‑dawn high around 5:30 a.m. over 7 feet and midday low around 12:30 p.m. under 2 feet. Those strong exchanges are really perking up the nearshore rockfish and surfperch. According to a mid‑Oregon coast report from Pacific Ocean, Oregon Fishing on January 9, the salt is “starting to feel fishy again,” with boats boxing easy limits of rockfish and decent lingcod in 80–120 feet off the central coast, plus good numbers of surfperch in the suds and winter steelhead nosing into coastal rivers. Oregon Fish Reports has been echoing that theme: solid rockfish limits and steady nearshore action when seas allow. Species-wise, nearshore reefs are giving up black rockfish, blue rockfish, a few canary and copper, with lingcod mixed in. Surf anglers are seeing barred and redtail surfperch in decent pods, especially on the bigger flood. Offshore squid effort has slowed from the 2020 boom, but Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife notes there’s still a modest market squid fishery when conditions line up, and that extra grocery line in the water never hurts the food chain. For lures, keep it simple and local-style practical: - Rockfish/lingcod: 2–6 oz leadhead jigs with white, root beer, or motor‑oil grubs; metal diamond or knife jigs in 2–4 oz. A chrome dodger or flasher like a Luhr‑Jensen style attractor ahead of a hoochie or grub can really light up lingcod. - Surfperch: 1–2 oz casting weights with small Gulp! sandworms or sandshrimp imitations, or tiny motor‑oil grubs on size 4 hooks. - Bait: Fresh sand shrimp, clam necks, and mussel for surfperch; herring or anchovy strips and squid for rockfish and lings. Hot spots to put on your short list: - Coos Bay nearshore reefs: Out of Charleston, work the usual rock piles and ledges in 70–120 feet just outside the jetty tips; recent reports show limits of rockfish plus a fair shot at keeper lings on the morning high and the evening push. - Tillamook Bay Barview area: Fish inside the jetty jaws on the flood for perch along the sand and rock transitions; when seas behave, slide just outside and bounce jigs on the nearshore structure for chunky blacks. Activity will be best right around that pre‑dawn high and again as the afternoon This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

According to NOAA’s Newport station, we’ve got an early morning high pushing a bit over 7 feet around first light, sliding toward a late‑morning low around 2 feet, then building back to an afternoon high. That morning flood into the bays is your prime window. Surfline’s tide calendar for Pacific City shows a solid 7‑plus‑foot high just after daybreak, which lines up nicely with a first‑light push. Figure sunrise right around 7:50 a.m., sunset about 4:50 p.m., so you’ve got a tight dawn and dusk bite to work with. Weather‑wise, the National Weather Service is calling for a dry, cool day on the central coast: light east wind early, swinging onshore 5–10 knots by afternoon, small to moderate swell and workable surf. That lighter east breeze will knock the chop down nearshore; by mid‑day the onshore will ruffle things but still fishable off the sand and jetties. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s latest recreation report says surf and jetty fishing for rockfish has been fair around Coos, Coquille, and lower Rogue jetties, with anglers still picking up blacks, a few lings, and the odd greenling on calmer days. They note action has been best near slack, with some days hot and the next just so‑so. Coos Bay anglers working jigs with twister‑tail trailers are still boxing rockfish when the swell lays down, and sand‑shrimp on the bottom is producing a mix of striped and redtail surfperch along beaches like Horsfall. Up and down the south and mid‑coast rivers dumping into the Pacific, ODFW’s Southwest Zone report has winter steelhead showing in tidewater and lower river reaches on the Coquille, Elk, Sixes, and Rogue. Flows are dropping into shape after recent rains, and Fishing the North Coast notes this dry stretch is lining rivers up for classic “green‑with‑two‑feet‑of‑vis” steelhead conditions. That means fresh fish nosing in on every good tide. Catch‑wise the last few days, local chatter and the state report point to: – Good numbers of black rockfish with a few legal lingcod off jetties and nearshore reefs on swimbaits and shrimp‑fly rigs. – Mixed bags of surfperch from the open beaches: mostly redtails with a few stripers where there’s deeper troughs. – Steelhead catches building in the Coquille tidewater and lower Rogue; nothing wide‑open yet, but enough hatchery fish for decent odds if you put in time. For lures, this is prime hardware season. Off the jetties, run a 2–4 oz leadhead with a 4–6 inch paddle‑tail swimbait in motor oil, root beer, or chartreuse. Tip your shrimp‑fly rigs with a little squid strip or Gulp to sweeten the deal. In the surf, 1–2 oz casting jigs in chrome/blue or root beer and sand‑shrimp or clam neck on a high‑low rig will cover both perch and the odd stray rockfish where there’s structure.

Tides today at Barview near Tillamook Bay got low at 4:35 AM hittin' 3.28 feet, high risin' to 9.35 feet by 10:22 AM—perfect for workin' the incoming current. Sunrise kicked off around 7:50 AM, sunset 'round 4:45 PM, givin' ya a solid daylight window before the chill sets in. Weather's stormy out there per National Weather Service forecasts, with small craft advisories from Florence to Cape Blanco—winds pickin' up, seas rough, so shore anglers, bundle up and watch for sneaker waves. Bottomfish season just fired up January 1st, says ODFW, with year-round all-depths openin' for most species: 4-fish bag on general marine fish includin' 2 canary rockfish, cabezon at 1 with 16-inch min, lingcod 3-fish at 22 inches, flatfish 25, sablefish 10. No yelloweye or quillback retention, and grab that Ocean Endorsement* for boat or jetty action. Recent reports from Fishing the North Coast note lingcod and rockfish bitin' strong out of Brookings pre-storm, pots haulin' keeper Dungeness crabs in 100 feet—half-dozen per trap, mostly legals. Surf perch are stackin' up on beaches, steelhead rivers risin' but reset after rains. Fish activity's pickin' up post-holiday with colder waters schoolin' 'em tight—lingcod, rockfish, perch leadin' the dance, decent numbers if ya hit the right tide. Best lures? Twin bulb squid rigs glowin' 3C for lingcod and rockfish, offshore long-leader setups with soft plastic worms or baitfish imitations under 5 inches. Surf perch love light tackle with small jigs. Bait-wise, fresh herring or squid strips kill it for bottom dwellers; hoop nets or snares for crab now that traps lift at 8 AM statewide. Hot spots: Jetty at Tillamook Bay for perch and ling on the incoming, or Cape Blanco reefs if ya brave the boat for rockfish limits. Stay safe out there, check regs, and wear your PFD.

Steelhead and salmon pushin' in rivers too, thanks to that Oregon Court of Appeals win on fish passage from Columbia Gorge News. Action's hot on bottom dwellers—lingcod and rockfish lovin' the colder currents, with Dungeness crab pots fillin' fast like 810 in one Emeryville tally. For lures, PNW Lure Co.'s hand-painted spinners and jigs for steelhead/salmon are killin' it, or Strike King's Bleeding Bait spinnerbait and Rage DB Craw with coffee scent for that extra kick.

We’re sitting on a big morning flood tide up and down the north and central coast. Tide-Forecast shows Barview in Tillamook Bay topping out around an 8.1‑foot high at 6:56 a.m., dropping to a mid‑day low before building again this evening. Newport’s Yaquina River station shows a similar pattern, with a strong morning high just after 7 a.m. According to Seaside tide tables, sunrise is right around 7:55–8:00 a.m. with sunset just before 4:40 p.m., so your best windows are that dawn high and the last couple hours of afternoon ebb. Weather along the north and central coast this morning is classic winter steel gray: cool, light offshore to variable winds early, building onshore breeze and swell through the afternoon. Clouds and scattered showers are the norm, with sea conditions fair enough for nearshore rockfish when the bar is green‑lighted but bumpy for smaller craft later in the day. Dress for wet, and plan to be off the exposed stuff before the afternoon wind line shows. Fish activity has been surprisingly steady for late December. The Guide’s Forecast recent coastal overview notes good nearshore bottom fishing when seas allow, with mixed limits of rockfish and a few lingcod out of ports like Garibaldi and Newport. Party boat reports from farther south on the NorCalFishReports and SportfishingReport networks back that up: heavy rockfish scores with a light sprinkle of lings whenever folks can get outside. Expect black rockfish to chew hardest on the flood and early ebb, then taper off when the current goes slack. For lures, think winter comfort food. Nearshore and jetty: - Metal: 2–4 oz chrome or glow jigs, Norwegian‑style or diamond, hopped near bottom for lings and rockfish. - Plastics: 4‑ to 6‑inch curly‑tail grubs or paddle‑tail swimbaits in root beer, motor‑oil, or black/white on 2–4 oz leadheads. - Hardware: Smaller jointed swimbaits and sand‑dab imitations can tempt better lings in 40–80 feet. For bait, locals are leaning on: - Fresh sand shrimp or small herring strips on hi‑lo rigs off the jetties. - Squid strips and clam necks for rockfish and lings on the reefs. - In the surf, 2‑inch Gulp sandworms in camo and motor‑oil, or small sand‑shrimp pieces, are outfishing most everything for surfperch. Surf fishing is worth your time today. On a dropping tide after that morning high, hit the first and second troughs for redtail surfperch. A light surf setup with a 1–2 oz pyramid and a two‑hook leader baited with Gulp worms or sand shrimp will keep you busy if the swell stays moderate. A couple of local hot spots to circle on your map: - South Jetty, Tillamook Bay (Barview): On this big morning high, work the inside for black rockfish with 3‑inch swimbaits and 1‑oz jigs, then slide toward the tip as the tide starts out. Keep one rod ready with a heavier jig for a bonus ling near the rocks when the current picks up. - North Reef off Newport (Yaquina a This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Up and down the coast this morning we’ve got classic winter conditions: chilly mid‑40s to low‑50s, light coastal showers and patchy fog, with a light south to southwest breeze. Skies want to brighten a bit mid‑day, but figure on gray and damp more than sun. Dress for spray and wind chill. According to Tide‑Forecast for Coos Bay, we’re sitting on a nice **morning high** around 7:26 a.m. at about 7½ feet, dropping to a low around 2:14 p.m. near a foot and a half, then another evening push to about 5 feet just after 8 p.m. Newport’s Yaquina River is similar, with a strong early high and a good afternoon low. Sunrise is right around 7:50 a.m., sunset just before 4:50 p.m., so your prime moving‑water windows line up with that morning high slack and the afternoon ebb. Tides4Fishing’s Nestucca Bay page calls today a **high‑activity solunar day**, with the best bite wrapped around those tide swings. That’s been holding true all week: not wide‑open, but steady if you’re on structure and moving water. Recent salt action has been winter‑standard. Charter counts and local chatter have lingcod and rockfish doing the heavy lifting: mixed blacks, blues, and a few big lings off the reefs and nearshore humps, with decent numbers when the bar’s friendly enough to cross. Surf anglers are still picking away at redtail surfperch on the softer pockets of sand between rocky breaks. Crabbing’s spotty—some bays giving half‑limits of nice Dungeness, others mostly shorts. Best producers right now: - For **lingcod and rockfish**: Metal jigs and leadheads with 4–6 inch swimbaits in green/black, root‑beer, or motor‑oil. Tip with a strip of herring or squid when the bite’s picky. - For **surfperch**: Sand shrimp, clam necks, or gulp‑style sandworms on hi‑low rigs, 2–3 oz of lead to hold. Natural camo and motor‑oil plastics doing well in the churn. - For **bay/jetty** mixed bag: Shrimp or squid pieces on small hooks along the rocks; a white or chartreuse spinner or bucktail will pick off the odd sea‑run cutt or coho straggler in the bigger estuaries. If you’re a lure junkie, small metal like Kastmaster‑style spoons and 3–4 inch curly tails have been money when the swell backs off. Couple local hot spots to think about: - **South Jetty, Newport (Yaquina)** – When the bar cooperates, the outer fingers have been giving up solid lings and chunky blacks on that dropping mid‑day tide. Watch the swell and don’t get cute with those sneaker sets. - **Nestucca / Pacific City stretch** – The pockets just north and south of the Cape, plus the Nestucca Bay mouth on a soft tide, have been steady for surfperch and an occasional striped searun. Hit it on the last half of the incoming and first of the outgoing for cleaner water and better feed movement. Timing wise, I’d fish: - First light through mid‑morning high for lings and rockfish. - Late morning into early afternoon ebb for surfperch. - This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

It's a crisp winter morning on the Pacific off Oregon, with sunrise at 7:55 AM and sunset around 4:38 PM per Tide-Forecast.com for spots like Barview and Newport. Tides are prime today: high at 5:31 AM hitting 7.23 ft at Barview, dropping to low 2.23 ft by noon, then evening high 5.4 ft at 5:24 PM and overnight low 1.54 ft—perfect for surfperch and lingcod chasing the moving water, says Tide-Forecast.com. Weather's holding steady with light winds and chilly temps in the 40s, no big storms rolling in from ocean.weather.gov briefs. Fish are active post-holiday; ODFW just stocked thousands of trout in coastal lakes like Siltcoos, Woahink, and Cleawoux near Newport—1,000 to 3,000 legals each—great for bank anglers. Ocean reports whisper solid surfperch hauls, some rockfish limits, and Dungeness crab pots filling up out of Newport, per local deckhand chatter. Salmon and steelhead are slow but winter runs picking up in rivers feeding the Pacific. For lures, hit 'em with jig spinners mimicking sprats for sea trout and mackerel, or Strike King Redfish Magic spinnerbaits on medium-heavy spincast combos—irresistible in the surf. Soft plastics like grub-shaped Maxie Waxie or Swim'n Caffeine Shad shine for bassy types. Live bait? Sand shrimp or cut herring rules; pileperch love it.

Steelhead love 16mm BNR Tackle shrimp beads. Bait-wise, fresh herring or shrimp chunks rule for bottom dwellers; crab bait's gold come weekend. Hot spots: Yaquina Bay jetties for rockfish on the tide change, and Depoe Bay reefs for lingcod—anchor up, drop deep. Tight lines, stay safe out there!

Tides at Coos Bay and Newport show high around 3 AM at 6-7 feet, low mid-mornin' 'bout 7-8 AM droppin' to 3-4 feet, then risin' high again early afternoon to 6+ feet—perfect for bottom bouncin' on the incoming. Sunrise hits 7:50 AM, sunset 4:30 PM, givin' ya a solid 8.5 hours of light. Weather's typical winter: cool 40s, partly cloudy with light winds from the south, waves 4-6 feet easin' off—bundle up but it's fishable offshore. Fish are bitin' steady on recent party boats down the coast. Rockfish limits comin' hot—think 60-200 per trip on full days out of Morro Bay and Avila, mixin' with Lingcod up to 23 pounds, Bocaccio, Copper Rockfish, and even Halibut. Oregon's crabbin' just opened commercial in spots like north coast, so Dungeness is stackin' pots too. Salmon runs are slow this late, but spinners like Blue Fox Vibrax or Mepps are killin' coho in rivers feedin' the Pacific. Best lures? Jigs for rockfish and ling—chartreuse or glow tubes on 1/8 oz heads. For salmon or whatever's roamin', Kwikfish divers or anchovy hoochies trolled slow. Live bait? Sand shrimp or herring chunks on the bottom; cured roe if ya hit river mouths. Hot spots: Yaquina Head outta Newport for deep rockfish stacks—anchor in 100-200 feet on the tide change. And Otter Rock reefs near Depoe Bay, where lings hide in kelp edges—troll or drift with buzzers. Rig tight, watch for swells, and check ODFW regs.

Sunrise hit at 7:46 AM down Coos Bay way, sunset's 4:43 PM—short days, but the fish don't punch a clock. Tides at Coos Bay show high at 2:57 AM (6.16 ft), low 7:45 AM (3.52 ft), high again 1:30 PM (7.81 ft), and evening low 8:40 PM (-0.51 ft)—prime incoming for surf perch and lings. Newport's similar: high 1:54 AM (6.75 ft), low 6:28 AM (4.3 ft). Weather's rowdy per National Weather Service—SW winds 15-20 knots gustin' 25, seas 9-10 ft, small craft advisory through evenin'. Bundle up, watch for rogue waves. Fishin's steady but tough in this winter grind. ODFW says north coast Dungeness crab's primo—pre-soak pots start Dec 28, full open Dec 31 from Cape Falcon to Washington line, meat fill crushin' 23% criteria. Watch for whales, fleet advisory's out. Lingcod and rockfish bit good lately off Fisherman's Landing counts, though that's south—178 rockfish, 125 bonito recent half-days. Local chatter from Fishing the North Coast notes slow salmon on Chetco, Elk, Sixes rivers, waitin' on rain boost. Surf perch, black rockfish, and cabezon active in close; stripers mixin' in tides. Limits possible on finesse, but bites light. Best lures? Go Strike King Tour Grade spinnerbaits for reaction in wind, or fuzzy dice baits like Z-Man on dropshot/nekos for finicky fish—Discount Tackle swears by 'em. Bait-wise, herring chunks or mussels for bottom dwellers; live sand shrimp if you can net 'em. Hot spots: Yaquina Bay jetties in Newport for lings on incoming, and Depoe Bay reefs—troll spoons deep, stay safe in the chop. Pacific City beaches for perch at low slack.

We’re riding a mellow winter pattern offshore: the latest marine forecast from the National Weather Service out of Portland calls for light to moderate southerlies this weekend with building seas Sunday into Monday, so the *window* to get out is really today and early tomorrow before it gets snotty again. Nearshore in the morning you’ll find the fishable stuff—generally under 6 feet of swell early, then stacking up later in the day. Tides are a bit soft but workable. For Newport’s Yaquina area, tide-forecast.com shows a pre-dawn high around 1:20 a.m. at about 6½ feet, dropping to a mid‑morning low near 5:45 a.m. around 4 feet, then building again mid‑day. Over at Nestucca Bay, Tides4Fishing has a high just after midnight around 6½ feet, a morning low near 1½ feet around 6:30 a.m., and another solid high just after lunch. That gives you two decent movement windows: first light on the outgoing, and the early afternoon flood. Tides4Fishing also pegs sunup on this stretch right about 7:50 a.m. and sunset near 4:35 p.m., with best solunar activity centered around the midday tide. In plain terms: expect a slow first hour of gray light, then a good push late morning into early afternoon when that flood starts rolling. Fish activity: bottom fish and crab are the headliners. Oregon Fish Reports notes charters still running rockfish, lingcod, and Dungeness trips Friday through Sunday, with consistent scores when the ocean lets them out. Fishing the North Coast’s recent coastal notes echo that—lingcod and mixed rockfish on the chew on any weather window, especially tight to structure. Catch reports out of boats working out of Garibaldi, Depoe Bay, and Newport have been showing full limits of mixed rockfish with 1–3 lingcod per rod common on good days, plus solid pots of keeper Dungies, especially just ahead of the commercial opener on the north coast reported by ODFW for later in the month. That means crabbing pressure is about to spike up there, but right now the recreational gear is still doing very well. Best offerings: - For **lingcod**: big swimbaits in motor oil, root beer, or glow on 2–4 oz leadheads, and classic copper or chrome pipe jigs. Tip jigs with herring or squid strips if the bite is shy. - For **rockfish**: smaller 3–5 inch grubs in white, chartreuse, or black, or shrimp flies above a weight. Fresh squid, sand shrimp, or a strip of herring on those flies will seal the deal. - For **crab**: oily baits—turkey legs, fish carcasses, or mink if you can get it. Soak on the edges of the channels, 40–80 feet, and give them a full tide cycle if traffic is light. Couple of hot spots to circle on your chart: - **Stonewall Bank off Newport**: when the ocean is kind, this mid‑shelf structure is still kicking out quality lingcod and big blacks.

We’re just coming off a high‑wind warning that ran through early this morning, with southwest blows to 40 and gusts to 60 along beaches and headlands, according to Tillamook County Emergency Management. That left a pretty gnarly swell and some debris in the nearshore, so expect lumpy seas and stick close to the heads or bays if you’re in a smaller rig. NOAA’s Newport station shows a predawn low, then a solid mid‑morning high pushing around 8–9 feet and another ebb late afternoon. That building morning flood has been the prime window for rockfish and ling bites on the nearshore reefs out of Depoe Bay and Newport. Sunrise is around 7:45 and sunset just before 4:45 on this stretch now, so you’ve got a tight daylight bite—plan to be on your spot by gray light. Bottomfish regs stayed a hot topic this year; ODFW’s sport bottomfish update notes year‑round, all‑depth access with a general marine bag and a separate 10‑fish sablefish limit, while yelloweye and quillback rockfish remain off‑limits and must be released with descending gear. Canary rockfish are showing in the mix, so mind that one‑fish sub‑limit. Recent reports out of Newport and Garibaldi charters have been classic winter structure fishing: limits or near‑limits of black rockfish with a handful of canaries, a few deacon/blue rockfish, plus a ling or two per rod when the ocean lets folks out. On the inshore humps, three‑ to six‑pound blacks have been stacked, with the odd 20‑plus‑pound ling coming off sharper breaks in 80–120 feet. Best producers right now are **metal and plastic**: - 4–8 oz diamond and pipe jigs in chrome/blue or glow dropped straight on rock. - Curly‑tail grubs and paddle‑tail swimbaits on 4–8 oz leadheads; motor‑oil, root‑beer, and black/blue are staples. - For lings, a big white swimbait or chartreuse grub slow‑rolled just off bottom is hard to beat. If you want to soak bait, frozen herring, sand shrimp, or squid strips will still put fish in the box, but you’ll sort through more junk and crabs. Speaking of crabs, KATU and ODFW report commercial Dungeness is now open from Cape Falcon south to the California line after a delayed start. That usually means good sport crabbing too, especially in the bays. Newport’s Yaquina Bay and Coos Bay have been giving up full pots—10–15 legal males overnight where gear is set on edges of the channel. Best bait: oily stuff. Shad, salmon carcass, or chicken backs in a bait cage; fishier the better. Two hot spots to circle on your chart today: - **Cape Foulweather / Gull Rock reefs out of Depoe Bay** – Classic winter black rockfish and ling cod. Tuck in on the lee side if that southwest wind flares back up and work jigs vertically on the harder rock. - **Stonewall Bank off Newport (staying clear of the yelloweye conservation area)** – Deeper water rockfish and ling mix when the swell drops enough to run.

Netarts charts show low solunar activity today, but fish don't always read the calendar. Action's hot on lingcod and rockfish—ODFW just set 2026 limits bumpin' lingcod to 3-fish daily bag since populations are healthy, rockfish stay at 4 with 2 canary max. Recent reports from Oregon Fish Reports and NorCal boats mirror it: charters out of nearby spots haulin' limits like 50 rockfish, 10 lingcod per boat, plus Dungeness crab combos—California Dawn nailed 240 crabs and 180 rockfish yesterday. Black rockfish drivin' the bag limits after 2025 quotas filled fast. Salmon's slow on rivers like Chetco with low water, but offshore bottom bouncers are lit. Best lures? Jigs in bright whites or glow for rockfish and lingcod—drop 'em deep on structure. Swimbaits or bucktails for aggressive hits. Bait-wise, live herring or anchovies if you can net 'em, but crab pots are gold with Dungeness season openin' Dec 16, Coast Guard helos back at Newport for safety.

We’ve got a nice winter ocean window up and down the mid‑coast. According to the National Weather Service marine forecast out of Medford, nearshore winds are light this morning with a modest northwest swell building late tonight into tomorrow, so small boats have a decent shot close to the beach before conditions turn rowdier offshore. Tide‑wise, Pacific City is the easy reference. Tides.net shows a low at about 1:00 a.m. around 1.7 feet, a solid morning high near 7:30 a.m. at about 7.4 feet, an afternoon low around 2:40 p.m. again near 1.7, and an evening high a little after 8:00 p.m. just over 5 feet. Sunrise is roughly 7:45 a.m. with sunset about 4:30 p.m., so your best bite windows are that morning flood push and the first of the evening rise. Groundfish have been the bread and butter. Recent coastal reports and ODFW’s season updates say black rockfish limits are still being hit quickly on the nicer days, with plenty of canary and a good mix of lingcod in the 8–15 pound class. Ling numbers have been strong enough that the Commission just approved higher 2026 limits, which tells you how healthy that stock is. For gear, keep it simple and local. Off Pacific City’s Haystack Rock and the reef complexes out to 120 feet, 4–6 ounce lead‑head jigs with 5–7 inch swimbaits in motor oil, white, or root beer are putting lings in the box. Black rockfish are chewing on 2–3 ounce metal jigs and small twitch‑style swimbaits; if they get picky, a strip of herring belly or squid on a chicken rig turns them right back on. For surf anglers working spots like Tierra Del Mar or the Lincoln City beaches, go with 2–3 inch sandworm plastics or Gulp sandworms in camo or motor oil on a Carolina rig, or plain old clam necks and sand shrimp when you can get them. Hot spot number one: Pacific City/Haystack reef. Launch off the beach, run just outside the breakers, and focus on broken rock in 60–90 feet during that morning flood. Most boats that slide from spot to spot are stacking up rockfish fast and picking a couple of lings each pass. Hot spot number two: the reefs off Depoe Bay. On the calmer mornings, the charter fleet has been coming in with mixed bags of blacks, canaries, and a sprinkling of keeper lings. If you’re running your own skiff, hug the inside structure and watch your drift; bounce a 4‑ounce jig just off bottom and hang on. Fish activity today should pick up mid‑morning as the tide tops out, then again late in the afternoon as that evening high builds. With the short daylight, those transition periods are gold.

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 08:25:02 -0000 full Inception Point AI This is Artificial Lure with your Oregon Pacific fishing report. We’ve got a nice winter ocean window up and down the mid‑coast. According to the National Weather Service marine forecast out of Medford, nearshore winds are light this morning with a modest northwest swell building late tonight into tomorrow, so small boats have a decent shot close to the beach before conditions turn rowdier offshore. Tide‑wise, Pacific City is the easy reference. Tides.net shows a low at about 1:00 a.m. around 1.7 feet, a solid morning high near 7:30 a.m. at about 7.4 feet, an afternoon low around 2:40 p.m. again near 1.7, and an evening high a little after 8:00 p.m. just over 5 feet.

We’ve finally got a break in the weather, with light offshore breeze early and a typical gray ceiling along much of the north and south central coast. Air temps are hanging in the 40s and low 50s, and the ocean is a little lumpy but fishable out of most ports for smaller boats. Sunrise is right around 7:45 a.m. with sunset near 4:30 p.m. along the north coast, so it’s a short window – make that first tide count. Tides are friendly this morning. Tide-Forecast’s Coos Bay table shows a low just after midnight and a solid high around 7:45 a.m., dropping toward early afternoon. Up north, Seaside and Pacific City charts line up with a pre-dawn low, a mid‑morning high, and another drop into mid‑day. That incoming early tide has been the best bite window for both rockfish and lingcod. According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Marine Zone report from yesterday, last week’s small weather window turned Depoe Bay into a near‑limit rockfish show, with lingcod averaging about one and a half fish per rod. That same pattern holds from Newport down through Coos: when boats can get out, mixed rockfish limits and plenty of keeper lings are the norm. Halibut is closed, so it’s a bottomfish game now, plus crabbing where it’s open. Down in the Coos River estuary, ODFW’s Southwest Zone report says jetty rockfish are still biting when the swell lets you get close, especially around slack tide. Crabbing’s on everyone’s mind with the commercial opener looming, and sport crabbers have been picking up decent Dungeness in the lower bay on chicken and fish carcasses in 20–40 feet. Fish activity is classic early‑winter: slower, but very catchable if you fish tight to structure and slow things down. Black rockfish, canaries (remember the one‑fish sub‑bag), a few cabezon, plus good lingcod numbers on rougher bottom have all been coming over the rails recently. Best offerings right now: - For rockfish: 2–4 oz leadhead jigs with white or root‑beer twister tails, or small metal jigs yo‑yoed just off the bottom. - For lingcod: larger swimbaits in blue/white or green/black, or a whole herring on a dropper loop. - For surf and jetty: 2–3" Gulp sandworms or sandshrimp on a Carolina rig for surfperch; heavier jigs with curly tails for rockfish and greenling. A couple of hot spots to put on your list: - **Depoe Bay reefs** in 60–120 feet: those near‑limit rockfish scores and steady lingcod are coming off the nearshore structure right out front when the swell allows. - **Coos Bay jetties and lower bay channels**: rockfish and lingcod around the rocks on the top and bottom of the tide, plus solid Dungeness sets in the channels on that morning flood. Fish slow, stay safe around the rocks, and mind those reduced three‑fish marine bag limits and no‑retention rules for quillback and yelloweye.

We’ve got a classic early winter pattern setting up along the central and south coast. According to NOAA tide predictions for Newport, the morning high tops out around 5:00 a.m. at about seven and a half feet, dropping to a mid‑morning low just after 10:30. Farther south at Brookings, NOAA shows a similar early‑morning high around 4:15 a.m. a little over six feet, then easing toward a mid‑morning low near 10:00. That falling water through the morning is the sweet spot for most of today’s bite. Sunrise along the mid‑coast is right around 7:45 a.m. with sunset about 4:30 p.m., so your real working window is that grey light into late morning and again for the last hour of daylight on the rocks and jetties. Weather-wise, typical December: cool, damp, and a bit of swell. Expect low 50s on the beach, showers roaming through, and a light to moderate southwesterly wind building as the day wears on. Ocean conditions look fishable but lumpy in the open, so smaller craft should tuck in behind headlands or work the bays. Fish activity has shifted firmly to winter mode. Charter captains up and down the central coast have been reporting steady bottomfish – black rockfish, a few canary and yellowtail rockfish, plus the odd lingcod – when the bar allows them out. Halibut is essentially wrapped up with coast‑wide catches down this year, and tuna are long gone. Nearshore, rockfish have been chewing best on that first push of current when the tide starts to drop. A two‑ to four‑ounce leadhead with a four‑inch white or root‑beer grub will get bit, and a small metal jig – something like a 2–4 oz chrome or glow knife‑style jig – hopped near structure is money on lingcod. Tip plastics with a strip of herring or squid if the bite goes soft. Surf and jetty anglers are finding decent surfperch and the occasional greenling. Fresh sand shrimp, clam necks, and small pieces of squid on a hi‑lo rig are still the staples. If you’re like me and live on artificials, a 2‑inch Gulp! sandworm in camo on a Carolina rig, or a small chrome Kastmaster, will find fish when you can’t get fresh bait. Salmon inland are mostly a catch‑and‑release story now, but it is worth noting that NOAA just found Oregon Coast Chinook at low risk of extinction, with strong overall abundance. That’s good news for the long game, even if today’s ocean opportunities are limited by season. Crabbing is a bright spot. SeafoodSource reports the southern coast ocean commercial Dungeness season is set to open mid‑month, which usually mirrors strong condition and meat fill. Recreational pots in the bays and just off the beach have been turning up solid numbers of keepers on overnight soaks. Whole chicken, turkey legs, or fish carcasses in a well‑wrapped bait cage will out‑produce small baits. Hot spots to consider today: • Out of Newport, work the nearshore reefs just north of Yaquina Head in 60–90 feet for rockfish and lingcod as that This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re waking up to a wet, windy pattern as a strong Pacific system rolls through. Gordon’s severe weather update in the Tillamook County Pioneer is calling for 4–6 inches of rain along the Coast Range with gusty onshore winds, so expect big swell, chocolate‑milk surf, and fast-rising rivers. Plan accordingly and watch those bar crossings. Tides are running big and lively. Tide-Forecast for Coos Bay shows a high at about 4:24 a.m. around 6.8 feet, low near 9:30 a.m. a bit over 3 feet, a solid afternoon high around 3:20 p.m. over 8 feet, then a negative low around 10:20 tonight. Sunrise is about 7:40 a.m., sunset around 4:35–4:40 p.m., so your prime windows are first light into that dropping morning tide and again late afternoon as it floods hard. According to The Guide’s Forecast weekly update, fall Chinook on the north and central coast are pretty much winding down, and attention is shifting to early winter steelhead and hot razor clamming tides. Steelhead numbers are just starting to perk up in the coastal rivers, but with this rain they’ll shoot upriver fast. Side-drifting soft beads or small yarnies in steelhead green water is the local ticket once flows stabilize. Out front in the Pacific, it’s mainly a bottomfish and crab show between weather windows. Lingcod and rockfish have been steady on days boats can sneak outside. Standard local fare: 4–6 oz leadhead jigs with curly-tail grubs in motor oil, root beer, or black, plus metal jigs and shrimp flies tipped with squid strips or sand shrimp. With commercial Dungeness about to open Dec. 16 from Cape Falcon to the OR/CA border, as reported by the Tillamook County Pioneer, sport crabbers are seeing good numbers of quality keepers in the bays and nearshore. Fresh salmon heads, fish carcasses, or turkey legs still rule the bait game in the pots. Best artificials right now: - For rockfish and lings: heavy swimbaits on 2–4 oz jigheads, large diamond jigs, and shrimp flies in glow or chartreuse. - For bay salmon stragglers and harbor coho where open: cut‑plug herring behind a flasher, or smaller spinner blades on 3–4 foot leaders. - For estuary perch and misc. bycatch: small Gulp! sandworms on Carolina rigs. A couple of hot spots to keep on your radar once the seas settle: - **Newport / Yaquina Bay:** Good mixed rockfish and lingcod off the south reef when the bar allows, plus strong bay crabbing from the commercial docks out toward the jaws on the last of the flood and first of the ebb. - **Pacific City / Nestucca area:** The tide tables for Pacific City show a similarly strong afternoon flood; when the swell backs down, the dory fleet works nearshore reefs for chunky lings and blacks. On calmer mornings, the Nestucca tidewater can still cough up a late Chinook or early steelhead. Given the weather, today’s more of a “watch the river rise and tie leaders” day than a small‑craft adventure.

We’re sliding into early winter patterns now, and the ocean’s acting like it. According to NOAA’s Newport tide table, we’re on a typical winter mixed tide cycle: predawn high around 7–8 feet, dropping to a mid‑morning low near 3–4 feet, then a solid midday high around 8 feet again. That gives you nice moving water at first light and again late morning into early afternoon. US Harbors for Brookings shows similar timing down south, with a pre‑dawn high, mid‑morning low, and strong afternoon push. Sunrise along most of the central coast is right around 7:40 a.m., sunset about 4:30 p.m., so you’ve got a tight daylight window to work those tide changes. Weather‑wise, Tillamook County Emergency Management is flagging an incoming atmospheric river and a flood watch starting tonight through much of the week, with periods of heavy rain and gusty coastal winds. That usually means swell building and small‑craft advisories, so anyone thinking about running outside the jetties needs to watch the marine forecast and maybe stick to the nearshore rock and bays if it’s snotty. Fishing has been classic early‑winter coastal. According to recent coastal charter write‑ups from SOA Charters, rockfish and lingcod have been steady out of Winchester Bay and Charleston, with long‑leader rockfish trips and mixed lingcod/rockfish runs still producing limits or close to it on most outings. Black rockfish, canary, and a few vermilion have been coming over the rails, plus enough legal lings to keep folks smiling. Offshore fall tuna is done, and ocean salmon’s basically wrapped for the year, so bottom fish and crab are the main saltwater game now. Best lures: for nearshore reefs from Pacific City down through Newport and Winchester Bay, think 4–6 oz lead‑head jigs with 5–6 inch swimbaits in root beer, motor oil, or black/blue, along with heavy metal jigs in the 3–6 oz range. Local charters have been leaning on long‑leader setups with shrimp flies and small plastics to stay legal on rockfish and keep baits up off the bottom. For bait, you can’t beat herring strips, whole anchovy, or sand shrimp tipped on a twin‑hook leader for lingcod, and cut squid or salted herring chunks on dropper loops for rockfish. Crabbing outside the bays is still decent where swell allows; chicken legs or fish carcasses in a pot will do the work. Fish activity lines up with tide and weather: best bite windows have been that first light incoming tide and the late‑morning/early‑afternoon flood when the swell isn’t too stacked. On calmer days, folks running out of Newport report quick rockfish limits in 60–120 feet, with a half‑dozen or so lingcod mixed in for a small party. Down south out of Charleston and Winchester Bay, charters are still seeing boat‑wide rockfish limits and several lings a trip when they can get outside.

We’re on a classic early-winter pattern. According to the National Weather Service marine forecast out of Portland, we’ve got cool temps, light morning winds nearshore, with a leftover west swell in the 4–6 foot range and a weak front sliding through later. That means fishable ocean in the morning, bumpier and breezier this afternoon, especially outside the headlands. Tides are running big. Tide-Forecast’s Oceanside tables show a pre-dawn low followed by a strong morning high, around mid- to late-morning today, then easing back to a moderate afternoon low. Those big morning highs are juicing the nearshore rock piles and pushing bait tight to the beach for the surf crew. Sunrise is right around 7:40 a.m., sunset just after 4:30 p.m., so you’ve got a short, bitey window at first light and again in the last hour before dark. Plan your moves around those tide swings and low-angle light; that’s when things have been turning on. Fishing-wise, rockfish and lingcod have been the steadiest ocean game. Boats working reefs off Garibaldi and Pacific City are reporting quick limits of black rockfish with a good mix of lings when the ocean lays down. NorCal Fish Reports is showing similar December scores just south of us—full racks of rockfish and double-digit lingcod per boat—which matches what local charters out of Depoe Bay and Newport have been talking about: fewer boats out, but quality fish for those who go. On the crabbing front, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife just announced the commercial ocean Dungeness opener from Cape Falcon south starts mid-month, with the north coast still waiting on meat tests to match Washington. That usually means plenty of keeper-sized crab in 60–120 feet off most ports right now for sport folks dropping pots, especially outside the bay mouths. Best gear today: - For rockfish: 2–4 oz lead jig heads with 4–6" white or motor-oil swimbaits, or a shrimp fly teaser above a metal jig. Tip with a strip of squid if the bite’s slow. - For lingcod: 5–8" curly-tail grubs, big swimbaits in green/blue, or metal jigs bounced hard on the bottom. Natural baits like herring or sanddab still produce the bigger models. - For surf perch: 1–2 oz pyramid sinker, size 4 hooks, and sand shrimp or Gulp! sandworms in camo or blood-red. Hot spots to look at: - Off **Cape Kiwanda / Pacific City**: The nearshore reefs just north and south of the cape have been giving up steady rockfish and a nice grade of lings on the flooding morning tide. - The **Three Arch Rocks / Oceanside** area: When the swell and wind allow, the structure around the rocks and inside edges is loaded with blacks, with bonus lingcod on live bait or big plastics.

Sat, 06 Dec 2025 08:25:40 -0000 full Inception Point AI Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon coastal fishing report. We’re on a classic early-winter pattern. According to the National Weather Service marine forecast out of Portland, we’ve got cool temps, light morning winds nearshore, with a leftover west swell in the 4–6 foot range and a weak front sliding through later. That means fishable ocean in the morning, bumpier and breezier this afternoon, especially outside the headlands. Tides are running big. Tide-Forecast’s Oceanside tables show a pre-dawn low followed by a strong morning high, around mid- to late-morning today, then easing back to a moderate afternoon low. Those big morning highs are juicing the nearshore rock piles and pushing bait tight to the beach for the surf crew. Sunrise is right around 7:40 a.m., sunset just after 4:30 p.m., so you’ve got a short, bitey window at first light and again in the last hour before dark. Plan your moves around those tide swings and low-angle light; that’s when things have been turning on. Fishing-wise, rockfish and lingcod have been the steadiest ocean game. Boats working reefs off Garibaldi and Pacific City are reporting quick limits of black rockfish with a good mix of lings when the ocean lays down. NorCal Fish Reports is showing similar December scores just south of us—full racks of rockfish and double-digit lingcod per boat—which matches what local charters out of Depoe Bay and Newport have been talking about: fewer boats out, but quality fish for those who go.

Conditions offshore have been bumpy lately, so effort has been light, but the crews that slipped out between fronts found some decent bottom action and a few good windows around the tides. Along the central coast out of Newport and Depoe Bay, bottomfish have been the main game, with black rockfish, deacon rockfish, and a fair mix of legal lingcod making up most of the coolers for the few boats that got out. Nearshore reefs in 60–120 feet are producing best when the swell drops and the wind lays down, especially on the flood tide. To the south, out of Charleston and Brookings, pressure has been spotty and catches slower, but patient anglers are still scratching out rockfish and the odd lingcod when seas allow. For tides, think early-morning low rolling into a strong mid‑day high, with a decent exchange that perks up the bite as that water starts marching in. Plan your launch so you’re set up on structure an hour or two before the high and ride that moving water for your best shot. Sunrise is roughly mid‑7s in the morning with early‑evening sunsets, so you’ve got a short winter day and want to make that prime mid‑day tide count. Weather along the coast is classic December: chilly, damp, and changeable. Expect cool temps in the 40s to low 50s, passing showers, and plenty of cloud cover, with lulls between fronts that give those small windows of workable ocean. Wind is your deciding factor—lighter morning winds shifting onshore and building through the afternoon are the pattern, and anything more than a modest breeze stacked on top of a long‑period swell will shut down most of the small‑boat fleet. Fish activity has followed the weather. When the bar is passable, rockfish have been willing on the first part of the flood, and lingcod are chewing better on days with a little color in the water and steady current. Ocean salmon and halibut are closed now, so it’s all about bottomfish and nearshore opportunities. Inshore, surf anglers poking the sandy pockets between rocky fingers are finding a few surfperch when the swell backs off enough to work a Carolina rig in the foam. For lures, think heavy and simple. Metal jigs from 4 to 8 ounces in blue, green, or glow patterns jigged tight to the bottom are solid for both rockfish and lingcod. Large swimbaits on stout leadheads—white, root beer, or motor oil—are producing well when slow‑rolled just off the rocks. Bait anglers are doing best with herring strips, squid, or sand shrimp on standard bottom rigs; adding a bit of scent is worth the extra step in that cold winter water. A couple of hot spots to circle on the chart: - The nearshore reefs just north and south of Depoe Bay, where short runs and tight structure give you a shot at mixed rockfish and lingcod when the swell window opens. - The rockpiles and nearshore humps off Newport, particularly the hard b This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let me break down what's happening out there today. **Tides and Timing** We've got some solid tidal action this morning at Pacific City on the Nestucca River. Low tide hit early at 5:05 AM with about 2 feet 9 inches, and we're looking at a high tide pushing 10 feet 50 inches around mid-morning. Sunrise was 7:38 AM, so you've got a short window if you're heading out at first light. Sunset comes at 4:33 PM, so make your moves while you've got daylight. **Fish Activity** The big story right now is winter steelhead. We're in prime season, and anglers are targeting these chrome-bright runners as they make their spawning runs. Sea lions have been hammering salmon at the dams, which means more pressure on wild fish, but the returning steelhead populations remain strong. Over in Coos Bay, guides are actively chasing winter steelhead through December, and conditions are atmospheric as the coast gets that classic winter edge. **What's Working** For steelhead, you'll want to go with classic presentations. Swimbaits in trout patterns are pulling fish—especially 4.8 to 6-inch options in natural colors. If you're working the drops, Roboworms in traditional patterns are absolutely reliable. Chartreuse and natural colors are your bread and butter right now. Don't sleep on jigs either—black and blue combinations are still producing when worked shallow along the banks. **Hot Spots** Hit the Nestucca Bay area where those tide changes are creating feeding windows, or head south to Coos Bay where the steelhead bite is consistent. Both spots offer good access and current-driven structure that puts fish in predictable zones. Get out there and tight lines. Thanks for tuning in, and make sure to subscribe for more daily reports.

Let me break down what's happening out on the water today. **TIDES & CONDITIONS** We're looking at some decent tidal movement this morning. Low tide came through early around 3:24 AM, and we've got a solid high tide building around mid-morning. Water temps are cooling down as we head into winter, which means the fish are shifting their behavior patterns. Conditions should be manageable today compared to recent weeks—the persistent northern winds that have been hammering the bay are finally easing up, so you should be able to get out without fighting too much chop. **WHAT'S BITING** Recent reports from around Nestucca Bay and the surrounding waters show sierra, trevally, and pompano are active when anglers can get windows between the wind. Jack crevalle and amberjack are showing up too. The cooler water temps we're seeing are actually triggering better feeding windows, especially during the slack tide periods. **GEAR & PRESENTATION** For lures, you'll want to throw some smaller profiles—artificial presentations are working well in these conditions. Light tackle with live bait is producing consistent results in the inshore areas. If you're working deeper water, try some jigging with natural-looking patterns. The key right now is matching the hatch and working areas where the bait is concentrated but not stacked so thick the fish ignore it. **HOTSPOTS** Nestucca Bay entrance is your prime zone today—good water movement on the incoming tide. Pacific City area is also worth investigating if you can handle the short run. Thanks for tuning in to your Wednesday fishing forecast. Make sure you subscribe for daily updates.

Let me break down what's happening on the water today. **Tides and Conditions** We're looking at a low tide at 4:12 AM and a high at 10:30 AM here in Coos Bay. Newport's running similar with lows early and highs mid-morning. The water temps are hanging in the low 40s, so dress warm out there. Weather-wise, expect mostly cloudy skies with rain moving in and out throughout the week. There's flooding potential from several sources, so keep an eye on river levels if you're heading inland. Pretty typical early December pattern. **What's Biting** The big news is that the commercial Dungeness crab season has been delayed until at least December 16th, but that doesn't stop us anglers. Oregon's crab passed their meat fill and biotoxin tests—they're going to be quality when they do open. For steelhead, we're seeing solid action on the coast. Float fishing with maxi jigs tipped with worms or shrimp is producing. Fresh reports show anglers connecting on three to four fish per day in certain sections. These winter steelhead are aggressive in the current conditions. For bottom fishing, soaked baits like herring and squid are drawing takes. Pin your baits near bottom with enough lead to stay precise. **Lures and Bait** Stick with natural presentations right now—herring, squid, and sand shrimp are your go-to baits. For lures, maxi jigs in smaller sizes with soft worm trailers are money. Float setups with simple rigging are outperforming complicated presentations. **Hot Spots** Check out the lower river systems around Newport and Yaquina Bay—they're holding solid numbers of winter steelhead. Harbor entrances are also prime this time of year as baitfish move with the tides. Thanks for tuning in to your Tuesday report. Make sure you subscribe for daily updates.

Let's dive into what's happening on the water today. **Tidal Conditions** We've got solid tidal action this morning up and down the coast. Over at Nestucca Bay entrance, we're looking at a low tide of 1.84 feet early this morning, with a high tide hitting 8.28 feet around mid-morning. Down in Coos Bay, low tide came through at 3:19 AM at just under 2 feet, and high tide peaked at 8 o'clock this morning around 8 feet. These are pretty typical December tides with good amplitude—perfect for getting fish active and moving through the passes. **Weather and Light** Sun came up this morning around 7:20, and we're looking at sunset right around 4:45 PM. That means we've got a solid morning bite ahead of us before we lose the light. Ocean conditions look manageable out of the Pacific, though keep an eye on that developing weather system moving in later this week. **What's Biting** Early winter steelhead are starting to show up in our river systems, though the main push won't hit until January through March. Right now, your best bet for immediate action is targeting lingcod and rockfish in the nearshore waters, plus some solid coho salmon action if you're hitting the right spots. The solunar activity is moderate today, so fish should be willing. **Lures and Bait** For topwater action, that KVD Splash from Strike King is an excellent choice—spits and chugs just right to trigger strikes. If you're going subsurface, grab some Tsunami Tidal Pro Twitch baits or soft plastics. For bait fishing, live herring and sand eels are working well right now in the bays. **Hot Spots** I'd recommend hitting Nestucca Bay entrance early—the tidal current is pushing good water through there this morning. If you want to work nearshore, Pacific City gives you solid access to deep water structure where lingcod are hanging out. Thanks for tuning in, everyone.

Let's dive right in. **Tides & Conditions** We've got a low tide hitting at 1:39 AM this morning, and a solid high tide coming in around 8 AM with heights reaching 7.8 feet. Down at Pacific City, you're looking at similar patterns – low at 1:42 AM and high at 8:06 AM. The sun's coming up around 7:50 AM and we're calling it quits around 6 PM, so you've got a solid nine-hour window to work with. **Fish Activity & Recent Catches** Word on the water is that Chinook and Coho salmon are still moving through these waters. Local guides have been scoring consistently on salmon, plus we're seeing sturgeon action holding steady. Rainbow trout are also in the mix if you're hitting the right structure. The coastal fisheries have been producing well for anyone putting in the effort. **Best Baits & Lures** For targeting these species, Berkley Gulp sandworms are proving solid – they're a local favorite for a reason. If you're throwing hardware, go with spoons in natural colors and glide baits in shallower zones. Strike King soft plastics and craws are working when you need some finesse. Trolling and drift fishing remain your bread and butter tactics out here. **Hot Spots** Get yourself to the Nestucca Bay entrance – consistent structure and tidal flow. Pacific City's another money spot, especially with those incoming tides pushing baitfish. Both areas see regular activity with guides operating out of Portland and Astoria.

Sun's coming up at 7:29 AM and we're looking at a sunset around 5:30 PM, so you've got a solid day ahead if you can get out there. **Tides and Conditions** We're seeing low tide at 12:50 AM this morning already passed, and we've got a beautiful high tide hitting around 7:29 AM with heights around 7.3 feet over at Pacific City. Down in Newport, expect a high at 6:32 AM with 7.29 feet, and another low at 12:22 PM with 3.48 feet. Perfect setup for getting out on the water right now. **What's Been Biting** The reports coming in from the past few days have been absolutely stellar. The crabbing has been outstanding—we're talking limits on multiple boats. Lovely Martha and Happy Hooker have been crushing it, bringing in consistent limits the last couple days. If you're into rockfish, the California Dawn finished up with 29 limits, and Fish Emeryville's Daily Double scored 192 rockfish on their half-day AM trip. Over at Santa Barbara Landing, they wrapped up with school-sized yellowtail, and the Vagabond landed an 82-pound wahoo—now that's a trophy. **Best Bait and Lures** For the rock cod and bottom fish, live bait works great, but I'm a fan of soft plastics that mimic wounded baitfish.

For crabbing, keep your standard crab pots loaded with herring or chicken. **Hot Spots** Head out to Pacific City if you can—beautiful area with consistent catches.

Sat, 29 Nov 2025 08:22:57 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI # Artificial Lure's Oregon Coast Fishing Report - Saturday, November 29th Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Saturday morning fishing report for the Oregon Coast. Sun's coming up at 7:29 AM and we're looking at a sunset around 5:30 PM, so you've got a solid day ahead if you can get out there. **Tides and Conditions** We're seeing low tide at 12:50 AM this morning already passed, and we've got a beautiful high tide hitting around 7:29 AM with heights around 7.3 feet over at Pacific City. Down in Newport, expect a high at 6:32 AM with 7.29 feet, and another low at 12:22 PM with 3.48 feet. Perfect setup for getting out on the water right now. **What's Been Biting** The reports coming in from the past few days have been absolutely stellar. The crabbing has been outstanding—we're talking limits on multiple boats. Lovely Martha and Happy Hooker have been crushing it, bringing in consistent limits the last couple days. If you're into rockfish, the California Dawn finished up with 29 limits, and Fish Emeryville's Daily Double scored 192 rockfish on their half-day AM trip. Over at Santa Barbara Landing, they wrapped up with school-sized yellowtail, and the Vagabond landed an 82-pound wahoo—now that's a trophy. **Best Bait and Lures** For the rock cod and bottom fish, live bait works great, but I'm a fan of soft plastics that mimic wounded baitfish. Think perch patterns that skip and walk across the surface. For crabbing, keep your standard crab pots loaded with herring or chicken. **Hot Spots** Head out to Pacific City if you can—beautiful area with consistent catches.

Let's dive right into what's happening out there. **Tidal Conditions** We're looking at a falling tide this morning here on the south coast. Down in Coos Bay, the next high tide is pushing in around 7:43 AM, so if you're heading out early, you've got a narrow window. Over in Hammond, we saw a high tide at 6:14 AM this morning with lows hitting around 11:28 AM. Barview up in Tillamook Bay is sitting pretty with decent tidal movement, so plan your launch accordingly. **Weather and Visibility** The marine forecast is treating us well today. We're looking at northerly winds between 5 to 10 knots, veering northeast after midnight. Seas are running 5 to 7 feet with mixed wave action, so conditions are manageable for boats prepared for moderate offshore work. **Recent Catch Reports** Now here's what's got everyone excited. Just last month down in San Pedro waters—which share similar species—we saw consistent bluefin action with limits being hit regularly. But more importantly for our local Pacific waters, rockfish are absolutely crushing it. We're talking 27,000 plus landings already this year compared to just over 21,000 last year at this time. Barred sand bass numbers are off the charts too—11,500 this year versus only 1,739 last year. That's a massive uptick, folks. **What's Biting** For your tackle box today, bright spinners are your best friend for any late-season chinook still hanging around. If you're targeting rockfish—and you should be—try artificial lures with curved bills that reach target depths quickly and keep your presentation in the zone longer. For the sand bass that are running strong, mix in some live bait when you can, particularly around structure. **Hot Spots to Hit** I'd recommend getting out to Pacific City where the tide's been active, or work the waters around Cape Blanco where wave action one hour before and after the high tides tends to stir up feeding activity. Coos Bay remains consistently productive if you prefer staying closer to port. **Final Thoughts** Sun's coming up early, around 7:17 AM out in Medford, so you've got time to get your gear ready. Waters might be cool, but the fishing's hot if you're patient and prepared. Thanks for tuning in to today's report.

Let's dive right in. **Tides and Timing** We're looking at decent tidal movement this morning. Over at Pacific City, high tide hit around 6:09 AM at 6.4 feet, with a low tide at 11:46 AM sitting at 3.6 feet. Nestucca Bay entrance is showing similar action with a high of 6.19 feet early this morning. Remember, fish like salmon, surfperch, and herring tend to move in with the tide, so you'll have better luck fishing closer to slack tide transitions. **What's Biting** The marine zone reports have been interesting this week. Bottomfish fishing has been tough with poor weather keeping most boats docked, but when anglers did get out, they landed roughly 2 fish per angler averaging black and blue rockfish with scattered lingcod. Depoe Bay, Newport, and Charleston all saw modest catches of mainly black rockfish. Brookings anglers who braved the conditions actually found near-limit bottomfish, so persistence pays off. **Your Best Bets** For the holiday weekend, the Nestucca, Trask, and Wilson Rivers are your top choices for fall Chinook through November 30th. Fair warning though—wild fall Chinook bag limits are reduced this season, so check those regs before heading out. The ocean salmon season is currently closed, but you've got free fishing days today and tomorrow with no license required. **Tackle and Bait** For bottomfish, bring your standard rockfish spreads. Lingcod respond well to larger offerings. If you're hitting the rivers for Chinook, fresh bait and spoons will work best this time of year. **Hot Spots** I'd recommend starting at the Nestucca River entrance or heading to Depoe Bay if conditions allow—recent reports show consistent black rockfish action there.

Let’s get to it. Woke up to a true late fall Oregon coast: low gray clouds, drizzle with occasional heavier bands moving through, and a high in the low 50s. Winds are mild—5 to 10 knots out of the southwest. Water’s up with all that rain—rivers running high and a little color pushing out in the bays. Sunrise hit at 7:22 AM, and you’ll see it duck out by 4:37 PM. Most folks will want to hit those early tides if they can. Today’s tides around Pacific City and Nestucca Bay are prime for early action. The morning high lands at 5:24 AM at 6.2 feet, then starts falling for a good mid-morning outgoing tide—low water’s around 9:30 AM at about 3.7 feet according to Salt Strong Tides and Surfline. Now, for the bite: ODFW’s Northwest Zone report this morning says fall Chinook are still around but winding down fast with the season closing December 1. There’s a mix of spawners and late fresh arrivals in most north coast rivers. The best bet for Chrome is the Trask, Wilson, and Nestucca rivers—the fresh ones pushed in with recent rain. Most chinook are showing upriver, so walk your boots past the tidal zones. Watch the regs—bag limits are reduced, especially for wild fish. You’re looking at 1 wild adult Chinook per day, 2 for the Tillamook basin season, and a strict no-go on wild coho retention anywhere. Coho are mostly done—hatchery fish are scattered and the run’s faded. The Trask and North Fork Nehalem produced a few last week, but on the slow side. Necanicum River is just starting to see the first pulse of hatchery winter steelhead, especially after the rain. Numbers are low, but die-hards are catching the odd bright fish—classic local tradition for Thanksgiving weekend. For trout, lakes like Hebo, South Lake, and Cape Meares are still holding over fish from spring’s stockings. Rainbow action can be decent if you’re after something a little more relaxing than chasing boisterous salmon. Down in the bays and surf, crabbing remains solid. The commercial season hasn’t kicked off—the sport pots are hauling up healthy Dungeness, especially after the flush of fresh water. Bait 'em with chicken or fish scraps and soak through the slacks. Best Bait and Lures: For late Chinook, nothing beats a big, bright spinner, size 5 or 6 Blue Fox in chartreuse or orange, or a MagLip plug pulled slow through the deeper slots and tail-outs where the fresh fish hold. For steelhead, go classic: small pink worms, beads, or jigs tipped with a little shrimp tail under a float. Trout in the lakes will pounce on a single egg or smaller Rooster Tail spinner in black or brown. Crabbers, stick with fish carcasses or turkey for max scent.

It’s Tuesday, November 25th, and the tide’s running high out here in the Pacific. According to the tide charts for Pacific City, we saw a high tide at 4:35 AM, hitting 6.0 feet, then a low at 9:22 AM down to 3.9 feet, another high at 2:36 PM at 7.1 feet, and a low at 10:00 PM at 0.3 feet. The water’s moving, and that’s good news for anyone looking to get out there. Weather’s been a bit wet lately, with rain on and off, and Thanksgiving was a soggy one. The forecast says it’s going to stay damp, with cooler temps and even a chance of snow in the Coast Range passes over the weekend. Sunrise is at 6:29 AM, and sunset’s at 4:43 PM, so you’ll want to make the most of the daylight. Fish activity’s been steady. The Yaquina River and Tillamook Bay have seen some solid action, with high tides pushing fish into the shallows. The Yaquina River hit 6.38 feet at 4:24 AM, and Tillamook Bay was at 5.77 feet at 4:19 AM. The low tides are shallow, so keep an eye on the water levels. Recent reports from the boats out of Fort Bragg and Emeryville show anglers pulling in lingcod, rockfish, and even some halibut. The crab combo trips are bringing in hundreds of Dungeness crab, and the full-day trips are seeing good numbers of rockfish and lingcod. The average water temperature is around 49 degrees, which is typical for this time of year. For lures, stick with jigs and spoons. They’re proven performers in these waters, especially when the water’s a bit murky. If you’re after crappie or bass, try live minnows on tight lines or small jigs in white, chartreuse, or pink. Vertical jigging and slow trolling are both effective, especially near structure like submerged timber and creek channels. Best bait? Live minnows, worms, or waxworms. Fish detect your bait much more easily in darker water, and with the rain and cloud cover, the water’s going to be on the darker side. Hot spots? Pacific City’s always a solid bet, especially around the mouth of the Nestucca River. The Yaquina River and Tillamook Bay are also producing, with good numbers of rockfish and lingcod. If you’re after crab, head out to the bays and estuaries where the crab combo boats are working. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe for more updates.

Winds are light, the sea’s mellow, and the rain is giving us a break—making early hours on the jetty or beach bearable and even pretty inviting. Sunrise came at 7:25 AM, and you’ve got daylight until sunset at 4:37 PM according to Tides4Fishing. Let’s talk tides—the life of saltwater fishing. Newport and Tillamook Bay both show a **high tide coming in around 3:30 to 3:35 AM**, with a respectable 6-foot swing, and dropping to a **low tide near 8 AM**. Working that falling tide early, especially those last few hours before dead low, is prime for surf perch and rockfish pushing bait to shore. If you’re working jetties, fish those outgoing tides with heavier gear—the water’s moving and so are the fish. Weather is classic late November. Pack a waterproof shell and something warm under it. Latest NOAA briefing called for light southwest winds and a marine layer lingering offshore, but it’s mostly dry—ideal for both surf and boat anglers. We saw **solid catches recently from shorelines and nearshore boats**. Folks tossed Berkley Gulp Minnows and Sandworms and pulled up good numbers of surf perch up and down the beaches—especially at **South Jetty in Newport** and **Barview Jetty off Tillamook Bay**. Both spots are hot right now, the swells are calm, and the tops of the tides bring improved feeding activity. **Rockfish and lingcod went for jigging gear off Yaquina Head and Depoe Bay**, with limits reported before noon over recent trips. Glow jigs and curly-tail plastics with added scent—like the Oregon Lure Cepholospin Squid with UV colors—crushed it on overcast days. On deeper reefs, tip your jig with squid strips or cut bait for extra strikes; boats running cut bait from their own catch did well. The **crabbing is fair to good** from piers and pots—expect fair numbers of keepers, especially out of Netarts Bay and off the Newport docks. The rain freshened up the estuaries so crab are moving toward saltier open water. Chicken legs and fish carcasses remain your best bet in the pots. It’s late fall, so **salmon action is now mostly upstream** and steelhead are starting to trickle in. A few anglers on the Siletz and Alsea Rivers reported hookup rates improving with eggs and pink worms, but if you’re on the salt, it’s rockfish, lingcod, and perch you want to target. For bait and tackle, stick to what's working: - **Soft plastics** in sandworm or shrimp colors for perch. - **Glow jigs tipped with squid** for rockfish and lingcod. - **Cut bait** from the morning’s catch for variety—amberjack and mackerel included. - For trout in the coastal streams, Powerbait and Carolina rigs are still bringing fish. Today’s **best bite windows** are minor around 8:47–9:47 AM and again at dusk, while major feeding runs about 12:43–2:43 PM according to Solunar forecasts.

It’s a raw, crisp morning on the north coast. High overcast and a chilly southerly breeze are in place, with another light front drifting through later—nothing too nasty just yet, but damp enough you’ll appreciate that rain gear. As of this morning, sunrise was at 7:16 AM. Sunset hits early at 4:40 PM, so you’ve got to make those daylight hours count. According to the NOAA tide tables, we saw a high tide just after 1 AM, with a low tide around 6:45 AM, and then another high coming mid-day. That mixed tide action sets up well for working structure as water starts moving in and out at mid-morning and again this afternoon. Last week, fishing was hampered by rougher ocean conditions, but boats that got out from Depoe Bay, Newport, Charleston, and Brookings managed results worth the trip, according to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. Depoe Bay boats reported about 2 fish per angler, mostly black and blue rockfish, and a few keeper lingcod. Newport was similar, with anglers landing mainly black and deacon rockfish—lingcod were pickier but still showed for patient bottom-bouncers. Farther south at Brookings, numbers picked up, with some parties nearly limiting out on black and canary rockfish and picking up about half a lingcod per rod. With the halibut season closed and salmon winding down—fall Chinook and hatchery coho in the bays are pretty much a river show now—the focus is back on bottomfish, and crabbing is solid with colder water. Just remember, the daily marine limit is down to three fish per angler, and you’re allowed one canary rockfish in the mix. Quillback and yelloweye rockfish remain strictly off limits until further notice. For lures, standard fare still shines: 4- to 6-ounce lead-head jigs rigged with large curly-tail grubs in white, rootbeer, or motor oil have been most reliable, especially over reefs or rocky pinnacles. If there’s a little more drift, break out a diamond jig or metal flutter jig to get down fast and cover bottom quickly. Folks tossing swimbaits in green or anchovy colors are also finding steady rockfish action. Baitwise, nothing beats fresh-cut herring or squid strips pinned on a double dropper loop. Hot spots? Consider heading out of Depoe Bay and working the reefs northwest towards the Siletz reef if weather allows—a classic for lingcod and chunky blacks. If you’re down toward Charleston, inside the South Jetty or near Orford Reef are putting up decent stringers, especially mid-tide. Brookings party boats scored nicely outside Chetco Cove over deep ledges as weather finally cooperated midweek. With ocean conditions still jumpy, check your marine forecasts before heading out, and don’t forget—starting January 1, 2026, you’ll need an Ocean Endorsement for most saltwater trips.

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 08:25:08 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here, bringing you today’s Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for Friday, November 21, 2025. It’s a raw, crisp morning on the north coast. High overcast and a chilly southerly breeze are in place, with another light front drifting through later—nothing too nasty just yet, but damp enough you’ll appreciate that rain gear. As of this morning, sunrise was at 7:16 AM. Sunset hits early at 4:40 PM, so you’ve got to make those daylight hours count. According to the NOAA tide tables, we saw a high tide just after 1 AM, with a low tide around 6:45 AM, and then another high coming mid-day. That mixed tide action sets up well for working structure as water starts moving in and out at mid-morning and again this afternoon. Last week, fishing was hampered by rougher ocean conditions, but boats that got out from Depoe Bay, Newport, Charleston, and Brookings managed results worth the trip, according to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. Depoe Bay boats reported about 2 fish per angler, mostly black and blue rockfish, and a few keeper lingcod. Newport was similar, with anglers landing mainly black and deacon rockfish—lingcod were pickier but still showed for patient bottom-bouncers. Farther south at Brookings, numbers picked up, with some parties nearly limiting out on black and canary rockfish and picking up about half a lingcod per rod. With the halibut season closed and salmon winding down—fall Chinook and hatchery coho in the bays are pretty much a river show now—the focus is back on bottomfish, and crabbing is solid with colder water. Just remember, the daily marine limit is down to three fish per angler, and you’re allowed one canary rockfish in the mix. Quillback and yelloweye rockfish remain strictly off limits until further notice. For lures, standard fare still shines: 4- to 6-ounce lead-head jigs rigged with large curly-tail grubs in white, rootbeer, or motor oil have been most reliable, especially over reefs or rocky pinnacles. If there’s a little more drift, break out a diamond jig or metal flutter jig to get down fast and cover bottom quickly.

We’re looking at crisp late-fall conditions on the coast—perfect for those hard-core anglers ready to chase chrome. **Tides** are moderate today. Nestucca Bay entrance had a pre-dawn low tide just after 6 AM, rebounding to a near 8-foot high tide late in the morning. If you can plan your outings around those prime swing times, you’ll see the most fish movement—especially around slack water in the estuaries and jetties, where bait is stacked up according to Tide-Forecast.com. **Weather** along the central and north coast is classic November: overcast skies, brisk northwest winds, and cool temps in the upper 40s to low 50s, reported by NOAA. Ocean conditions are choppy but manageable for small craft nearshore, with an improving trend midday as winds drop and the high tide fills in. **Sunrise** is at 7:17 this morning, **sunset** 4:41 this evening—so you’ve got a solid window for first and last light bites. **Now to the catch:** Local boats and shore casters are still finding **coho and chinook salmon** near river mouths and on the jetties, as confirmed by recent dock totals from SportfishingReport.com. The biggest pulses are tapering as the main runs wind down, but you’ll still find aggressive late-season hatchery coho and occasional chinook pushing up tidewater. Best reports for salmon came from the Yaquina Bay jetty and Tillamook Head, where large spoons, spinners (like Blue Fox Vibrax), and 4–6” herring are outproducing smaller offerings. For the pluggers, Mag Lips and Kwikfish in chrome/green or ‘cop car’ patterns have enticed the last push of kings. **Rockfish and lingcod** action is steady, especially during the high tide. Lingcod are holding tight to rocky structure just outside most major jetties and reefs—especially at Depot Bay’s outer break and Twin Rocks off Garibaldi. Plastic swimbaits in rootbeer and white, 4–6 oz. metal jigs, and live sand shrimp are the current local favorites. **Dungeness crab** is on the minds of many—though commercial pots are still waiting for the official opener (ODFW announces this Friday). Recreational crabbing is open, and folks tossing rings from Garibaldi and Waldport piers are pulling up solid numbers on incoming tides. Chicken and shad have out-fished most other baits for crab. **Steelhead** are still a couple weeks out from a major push, but diehards working the lower Wilson and Trask are landing the odd early winter-run fish swinging pink worms and yarnies, according to Northwest Best Steelhead Fishing. **Recent catches** this past week included a 21 lb chinook from the Siletz tidewater on a cut plug herring, limits of rockfish (mostly blacks and a few chunky blues) off Cape Meares, and plenty of surf perch on the beaches near Pacific City on motor oil grub jigs, as shared by local captains and trip logs. **Best lures and bait:** For salmon: 1/2–3/4 oz. spinners, size 4–6 spoons, plug-cut herri This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First off, we're rolling into late fall, and that’s bringing chilly air, rainy skies, and a good bit of wind off the Pacific—so layer up and double-knot those raingear hoods. As of this morning, the sunrise is clocked at 7:19 AM, sunset will be short and sweet at 4:42 PM, so plan your outings accordingly. Weather this week has held pretty true to mid-November form: overcast, a bit drizzly, low 50s for highs and wind pushing out of the southwest. Ocean Weather.Gov’s forecast mentions scattered gale warnings westward in open waters—a heads up for the offshore crews today. Let’s talk tides. Pacific City (Nestucca River) is reading a low tide early at 5:25 AM around 2.1 feet, swinging up to a good high at 11:04 AM with a hefty 7.11 feet, then dropping down to a negative low around 6:28 PM. That strong mid-morning high is prime for launching kayaks and working those rockweed beds, especially if you’re hunting for surfperch or scanning the channels for late-run chinook. On the fishing front, nearshore waters continue to produce. Surfperch bite remains consistent off the beaches from Tierra Del Mar down to Oceanside. Gulp! sandworms and raw shrimp are the top baits, but local regulars are also tossing 2-inch motor oil grubs, swimbaits with some glitter, and the classic Mag Lip for chinook. Fish as the tide comes in for your best shot—the perch and greenling are following baitfish in tight during those rising waters. Salmon activity has dropped, but there’s still some chinook showing for those patient enough to troll herring or plug-cut anchovy in the estuaries, especially around the mouth of the Nestucca and Netarts. Meanwhile, the lingcod bite is picking up on rocky reefs, with jigging white or chartreuse twin-tail plastics or bouncing big leadheads tipped with squid getting it done. Crabbing’s taken a little hit lately. Recent events, like the whale entanglement near Yachats, have local officials reminding us to keep buoy lines tight and remove derelict gear when you’re done, so we keep this fishery open and whale-safe. Crab quality is fair, with best pots coming from just past the surf break using fresh shad or chicken for bait. Watch for legal size—lots of shakers mixed in. Best spots right now: - The mouth of the Nestucca Bay, especially near the sandbars on an incoming tide, for surfperch and greenling. - Netarts Bay for keeper crab and a chance at a late chinook on a slow troll. - Cape Kiwanda’s rocky points for lingcod and occasional keeper rockfish—try just after the morning high tide. Newport is also delivering decent rockfish numbers on calm days. Locals coming back with bags of blacks and the odd canary, most taken on rootbeer curly tail grubs or cut herring. If you’re restocking the tackle box, Dave’s Tackle Shop in Newport has plenty of drift jigs, steelhead worms, and new metallic Kastmasters—always a top pick when wa This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Starting things off with the tide report: at key spots like Nestucca Bay, you’re looking at a **low tide hitting about 5:21 AM at 0.71 feet**, then swinging up for a **high tide at 11:28 AM near 7.23 feet**. Expect another low at 6:00 PM, then a high around midnight. Most coastal rivers and bays will trend similarly—mid-morning for your best incoming tide, great for staging fish. Weather’s looking classic for late fall—mostly cloudy, highs in the upper 50s, and occasional light rain, especially later in the afternoon. The **National Weather Service Marine Forecast** calls for building southern swells and a chance of rain through the day, so pack your rain gear, and keep a sharp eye on surf conditions, especially as high tides push in. Sunrise today was at **7:36 AM and sunset will be about 6:23 PM**. Prime hours for bites are right at dawn and dusk. The bite has been lively. According to party boat reports out of Bodega Bay and southward, and Oregon buyers like Local Ocean Seafoods, **rockfish and lingcod action remains strong**, especially on deep reefs. Specific counts show boats hauling in upwards of **270 rockfish and 2-7 lingcod per trip**, with bonus Dungeness crab showing well for those soaking pots, up to 270 crabs per boat. Oregon’s surf yields good numbers of **surfperch** – redtail and calico being top catches this week. Estuaries, particularly near the Nestucca, Siletz, and Siuslaw mouths, are turning up decent runs of **coho and chinook salmon** as well as sea-run cutthroat. On salmon: the latest runs in Shovel Creek and nearby Klamath and Sacramento rivers show numbers trending upward—**coho counts are on the upswing as of November 14**. Oregon rivers have started seeing fresh fish as rains move in. Chum and chinook are present, so get after them now or in the early evening. Hot baits for surf perch are **cured coon stripe shrimp** and **Gulp! Sandworms**. The classic **two-hook surf rig** on medium light surf sticks is your ticket. For bottom fish, **shrimp flies, root beer scampi, and lead-head jigs tipped with squid** have been best. If you’re targeting salmon, toss **spinners (blue/silver, chartreuse), Brad’s cut plugs, and pink hoochies**. River mouths and tidewater sections are best fished with the above, under bobbers or trolled just after first light. According to the folks at Wet Fly Swing, **streamers and egg patterns** are drawing trout and cutts. For steelhead showing in the Siletz, Siuslaw, and Alsea, **small jigs in pink or white**, tipped with shrimp or worm, are the local go-to. A couple hot spots worth hitting: - **Nestucca Bay mouth**: Best at mid-incoming tide for surfperch, especially near the north sand spit. - **Yaquina Bay docks and jetties (Newport area)**: Lights-out for rockfish and crab, with lingcod catches peaking around midday. - **Coos Bay South Slough**: Rising tide pulls in coho and chinook, with so This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

It’s a chilly, classic November morning on the coast—salty air and the bite of dawn, just how we like it. Let’s start with the numbers. Sun rose at 7:14 AM and we’re looking at sunset around 4:54 PM today. We’ve got about nine hours, forty minutes of daylight to work with, so make those casts count. Tides are cooperating for early and mid-morning action: Barview in Tillamook Bay saw a low tide of 2.18 ft at 3:45 AM, swinging up to a big high tide just before 10 AM at 7.64 ft, then another dip this evening. Newport’s high is also around 10 AM, peaking at 8.33 ft according to NOAA, so the incoming tide is your sweet spot on most Oregon beaches today. That rising water will have bait moving and fish actively feeding along the shore and in the lower bays. Weather-wise, expect scattered clouds and chilly temps in the low 50s. Winds are expected at 10–15 knots and seas building to about 5–7 feet later per National Weather Service Marine Forecasts, with a Small Craft Advisory offshore. If you’re heading out deeper than the jetties, keep an ear on the marine channel. Now, the bite: Rockfish, lingcod, and the occasional cabezon made up the majority of recent catches both from charters and jetty regulars, with boats out of Depoe Bay and Garibaldi reporting solid limits of black rockfish, a few chunky vermilions, and some keeper lingcod. Ocean Dungeness crab remains hit-or-miss, but a few patient folks are hauling nice pots from the lower estuaries. Chinook salmon runs are mostly wrapped on the mainstem rivers for the year, but surf anglers found some late coho over the weekend, especially around the mouths of the Alsea and Siletz Rivers. Herring-pattern spoons and twitching jigs were the ticket for those last chrome-bright fish, and several were caught Sunday by anglers working the incoming tide. For lures, bright metal spoons like Kastmasters and Point Wilson Darts are pulling rockfish and late salmon. Big curly-tail plastics in motor oil or chartreuse colors fished deep near rocky structure are best for lingcod. Fresh herring or sand shrimp are solid baits if you can get them; otherwise, gulp soft baits tipped on a leadhead jig are hot. A couple of hot spots worth your time: - The Garibaldi South Jetty has been producing consistent lingcod and rockfish on the outgoing tide, especially mid-morning. - The mouths of the Siletz and Alsea Rivers are still kicking out a few coho and sea-run cutthroat on spinners and jigs, particularly with today’s good morning tide swing. If you’re out west of Newport on an ocean charter, be ready for a bit of swell but expect fine rockfish and maybe a late crab pull. If you prefer staying closer to shore, the jetties in Pacific City and Depot Bay are delivering classic November action—just watch your step on that slick granite.

The sun’s just up after a 7:15 am rise and will settle by 4:45 pm. Today’s tide at Pacific City and Nestucca Bay starts with a low at 3:35 am (1.9 ft), a big high at 9:39 am (7.6 ft), another low at 4:43 pm (0.7 ft), and finishes with a high at 10:39 pm (5.9 ft), according to Tides.net and Tides4Fishing. These moderate swings mean moving water most of the day—great for setting up near drop-offs and channels where feeding fish stack up. Weather-wise, the National Weather Service notes we’ll see sub-advisory sea conditions through early afternoon, with increasing south winds and a shift to gusty northwest by evening, as another front moves in. Swells are picking up, and seas could steepen into the late afternoon, so if you plan to go offshore, make sure you’re back at the dock before the wind really turns. Fishing action this week has been lively. Nearshore, folks are still pulling in big fall red drum and a solid mix of speckled trout and bluefish. According to recent Oregon Inlet reports, reds up to 46 inches have been landed on fresh cut mullet, especially in the inlet and surf zones. Slot reds are steady along the banks, best caught with cut bait during moving tides. The grass beds and bridge pilings continue to hold speckled trout, most in the 14 to 19-inch range. Soft plastics like Z-Man or Bass Assassin paddle tails beneath a popping cork are killer right now, especially on the outgoing tide. And don’t sleep on those bluefish—thick throughout the area, whacking both plugs and cut bait from the beach and the piers. Black drum remain consistent on fresh bait fished on the bottom, with bigger fish sometimes pushing 25 inches. Offshore, those who found a weather window did well: mahi, blackfin tuna, king mackerel, and the odd wahoo have shown for trollers and jiggers working 25-35 miles out. Several boats reported billfish, but with the coming wind that outer water bite may be a tougher ask until conditions mellow. Best baits and lures for today: - Red drum: fresh cut mullet and menhaden. - Speckled trout: Z-Man plastics, Bass Assassin paddle tails, or Outer Banks Lures on a ¼ oz jighead. - Bluefish: topwater plugs early, then switch to cut bait as the morning wears on. - Bottom fish: shrimp or squid strips on a standard two-hook rig. - Offshore: trolled cedar plugs, skirted ballyhoo, and jigs. Two local hot spots to try: - The Nestucca Bay bar and pinch points on the outgoing tide for big red drum and bluefish. - The grass banks and bridge pilings at Sand Lake and in the Tillamook Bay entrance for speckled trout and consistent black drum action. Given the building sea this afternoon, stick close, check the tide, and work the moving water windows for your best shot at fish. Don’t forget, as regulations are in flux, especially on drum and trout, make sure to check the latest ODFW rules before you keep anything.

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 08:23:43 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report, Sunday, November 16, 2025. The sun’s just up after a 7:15 am rise and will settle by 4:45 pm. Today’s tide at Pacific City and Nestucca Bay starts with a low at 3:35 am (1.9 ft), a big high at 9:39 am (7.6 ft), another low at 4:43 pm (0.7 ft), and finishes with a high at 10:39 pm (5.9 ft), according to Tides.net and Tides4Fishing. These moderate swings mean moving water most of the day—great for setting up near drop-offs and channels where feeding fish stack up. Weather-wise, the National Weather Service notes we’ll see sub-advisory sea conditions through early afternoon, with increasing south winds and a shift to gusty northwest by evening, as another front moves in. Swells are picking up, and seas could steepen into the late afternoon, so if you plan to go offshore, make sure you’re back at the dock before the wind really turns. Fishing action this week has been lively. Nearshore, folks are still pulling in big fall red drum and a solid mix of speckled trout and bluefish. According to recent Oregon Inlet reports, reds up to 46 inches have been landed on fresh cut mullet, especially in the inlet and surf zones. Slot reds are steady along the banks, best caught with cut bait during moving tides. The grass beds and bridge pilings continue to hold speckled trout, most in the 14 to 19-inch range. Soft plastics like Z-Man or Bass Assassin paddle tails beneath a popping cork are killer right now, especially on the outgoing tide. And don’t sleep on those bluefish—thick throughout the area, whacking both plugs and cut bait from the beach and the piers. Black drum remain consistent on fresh bait fished on the bottom, with bigger fish sometimes pushing 25 inches. Offshore, those who found a weather window did well: mahi, blackfin tuna, king mackerel, and the odd wahoo have shown for trollers and jiggers working 25-35 miles out. Several boats reported billfish, but with the coming wind that outer water bite may be a tougher ask until conditions mellow. Best baits and lures for today: - Red drum: fresh cut mullet and menhaden. - Speckled trout: Z-Man plastics, Bass Assassin paddle tails, or Outer Banks Lures on a ¼ oz jighead. - Bluefish: topwater plugs early, then switch to cut bait as the morning wears on. - Bottom fish: shrimp or squid strips on a standard two-hook rig. - Offshore: trolled cedar plugs, skirted ballyhoo, and jigs.

Classic November out here—crisp air, low morning fog burning off to partly sunny skies, temps hovering in the upper 40s early, peaking in the low 50s for the afternoon. Breezes are light southwesterly, a real treat after a stormy stretch that kept folks on land this past week, but today feels made for a pull on the line. Let’s kick things off with **tides**—always critical for planning those jetty and beach sessions. At Barview in Tillamook Bay, you’re looking at an early **low tide** of 1.31 feet just before sunrise, **high tide** peaking at 7.22 feet at 8:54 a.m., another low at 1.17 feet in mid-afternoon, and an evening high at 5.58 feet just before 9:30 p.m. It’s a similar pattern at Newport: 1.78 feet low near 2:24 a.m., big high at 7.95 feet at 8:59 a.m.—perfect for a morning run at the jetties or the sand[Barview Tillamook Bay tide forecast; Newport, Yaquina River tide forecasts]. Sunrise is 7:15 a.m., with sunset at 4:44 p.m.—short windows, so plan accordingly. Out on the water, the **2025 recreational Pacific halibut season closes after today**, with quota still left but that’s it for the year, so if you’re targeting halibut, get out early. **Boat-based rockfish and lingcod** are open all depths, and with ocean conditions calming down, boats out of Depoe Bay and Newport should find solid action. Lingcod are especially snappy on darker swimbaits or large jigs bounced right on bottom. Black rockfish and canaries are biting on traditional curly tail grubs in rootbeer or chartreuse, especially at first light or an hour before dusk. Heard some boats pulling multiple limits by midday. Shore anglers working the jetties have done well with 3–5 oz jigheads paired with curly tails or iron; add scent for an edge. **Crabbing remains a prime option**—remember, the ocean is closed for crabbing through November, but bays and estuaries, including Newport and Waldport, are delivering fat, full Dungeness. Traps baited with fresh fish scraps or chicken are performing best. Razor clam digging is open north of Cape Blanco, but with low tides hitting pre-dawn and evening—and plenty of recent surf action—visibility is a real challenge, and safety’s a concern after storms.

It’s a chilly but classic late-fall morning, and we’re going to cover it all: weather, tides, what’s biting, and where to wet a line. Let’s start with **weather and tides**. The Oregon Coast woke up crisp, with lingering clouds and that signature fall moisture hanging in the air—NOAA’s marine briefing says we’ve got cool temps, light winds, and a few showers around. It’s prime fishing weather: layer up and expect scattered rain, especially up north. Tidewise, we’re looking at mixed semi-diurnal cycles along the coast today. Take Newport for reference: low tide hit at 1:34 AM at 1.27 feet, then a solid high pushes in at 8:22 AM with 7.67 feet, followed by another low just after lunch at 2:31 PM sitting at 2.31 feet, and another high at 6.2 feet right before sunset. In Pacific City, first light comes at 7:13 AM, with sunset at 4:47 PM, so plan your sessions around those slack tides for better luck, especially near jetty mouths and estuary openings—tide charts courtesy of Tides.net and Surfline. **Fish activity** is lively in the salt. Bottomfishing is hot—Coos and Yaquina jetties are giving up keeper black rockfish, with plenty of cabezon and even a surprise lingcod or two on outgoing tides. Twister-tail jigs and 3–4 inch swimbaits near the rocks are deadly right now, especially in darker colors like root beer and motor oil as reported by ODFW’s Weekly Recreation Report. Bring extra tackle; the rocks are hungry too! Offshore, the **Pacific halibut season closes after Saturday, November 15**, so now is your absolutely final window—hit deepwater ledges with salmon bellies or large herring on spreader bars according to Fishing The North Coast. Most boats out of Garibaldi and Depoe Bay are still reporting scattered limits, though average size is trending downward as the season wraps. **Surf and estuary action**: surfperch are thick off sandy stretches near Pacific City and Netarts. Classic two-hook rigs with sand shrimp or Gulp sandworms are hard to beat. The Umpqua and Coquille jetties are still delivering fair numbers, particularly on the afternoon incoming tide. Lings and rockfish are consistent for those fishing jetties and nearshore reefs. Drop a 4-inch white swimbait or try casting a metal jig—when the current slows, the bite picks up. **Freshwater**: bass activity is slowing with the cooling water temps, but folks who switch to slower presentations are pulling chunky largemouth from Tenmile Lakes and Lost Creek. Go with Carolina rigs, jigs, or downsized swimbaits. The BassForecast 10-day report points to good-to-tough bite windows, with fish holding deeper near drop-offs and structure. Try Ned rigs or drop shots for finicky bites. **Recent catches**: ODFW’s last updates show marine bag limits remain three fish plus two lings, with no retention of yelloweye or quillback rockfish.

First light crested this morning at 7:07 a.m. and sunset’s coming up at 5:05 p.m.—classic short November days. We’re mid-fall now, and the weather’s got some teeth: a Small Craft Advisory is in effect until late tonight, with seas running 10 to 15 feet at 15 seconds, plus brisk southerly winds. If you’re heading out, be ready for rough surf and stay safe—these are not gentle conditions (BeachConnection.net weather updates). For you tide chasers: in Netarts and along much of the northcentral coast, we saw a pre-dawn high tide at about 3:45 a.m. around 5.5 ft, with a low slumping in at 9:31 a.m. to about 2.1 ft, then another strong flood rolling in for the afternoon bite, peaking at 3:12 p.m. to 6.6 ft. Similar numbers came in at Newport and Nestucca Bay, so if you’re targeting surf species, the early evening outgoing tide is your window (NOAA Tide Predictions Netarts and Newport). Recent catches are reflecting typical late fall patterns. Rockfish remain the solid bet, especially for charter crews running out of Newport and Garibaldi—last reported scores from party boats had rockfish counts approaching limits, with decent numbers of lingcod, some chowder-sized cabezon, and a good showing of greenling. SportfishingReport.com shows crews picking away at the usual bottomfish up and down our stretch, and those pockets to the north, like Astoria, have posted similar hauls. Ocean salmon remains closed this late in the season, but black rockfish and lingcod are still the focus when boats can get out. During quick weather windows earlier this week, Newport and Depoe Bay salt chasers found good numbers in those deeper rocky reefs—try 80–140 feet, as fish are holding deep with the storm surges. Best lures right now—it’s tough to beat a classic leadhead with curlytail grubs in white, rootbeer, or chartreuse. If you’re bouncing bait, bring along frozen herring or a strip of squid; both are producing when worked slowly near structure. For artificial options, swimbaits in sardine or anchovy patterns mimic what rockfish are keying in on, and if you’re hunting lingcod, toss on a 5–9" swimbait or big flutter jig and bounce that right on bottom. Don’t forget the trusty pipe jig. For surf perch, especially at high tide on sandy stretches, Gulp Sandworms or motor oil grubs will do damage. Hot spots to focus on today: - **Cape Lookout reefs**: A consistent producer for rockfish and lings, particularly where the current’s breaking over submerged boulders. - **South Jetty at Newport**: Always a producer as long as the swell isn’t blowing folks off the rocks. Cast swimbaits into the eddies during the outgoing tide for a shot at lunker greenling and rockfish. A reminder for all nearshore anglers: surf and bar conditions can shift fast—watch those advisories and have a backup plan.

If you’re thinking about hitting the salt or the bays today, listen up! We’ve got the latest on tides, weather, fish bites, catches, lures, and hot spots. Here’s what you need to know before you grab that rod or launch the boat. First, sunrise sets the mood at 7:09am, with sunset coming early at 4:50pm, so you’ll want to fish smart and pack a headlamp if you’re ambitious for a close. The tides at Pacific City and Nestucca Bay show a high of 6.34 feet at 5:53am, out to a pretty moderate low at 11:18am at 3.26 feet, then it peaks up again—prime for that evening bite—with a 6.89 foot high at 4:35pm. That late afternoon swing should have the big ones on the move, especially right before dark, so plan your trip around those windows for best results, as shown by both tides.net and tide-forecast.com. Now, don’t forget your rain jacket. According to Gordon’s Weekly Weather Update, we’re smack in the middle of a series of November fronts—expect steady rain with breezy conditions cycling through all week. The wind’s got some teeth, so boaters, mind the gusts and keep it safe on the bar crossings. All that overcast and swell can help bring fish closer, especially for surf and jetty anglers. Let’s talk what’s biting: The lingcod have been absolute fire up and down the coast, especially at the classic rocky outcrops off Depoe Bay and down to Pacific City, as reported by Dockside Charters and confirmed again by Sportfishing Report. Boats have been getting into limits of rockfish and seeing a solid mix of big cabezon and keeper lingcod, with some boats hauling over 100 rockfish and 20-plus ling this weekend. Dungeness crab also remain thick in the pots—if you’re dropping gear, you should see full limits by midday. Bait-wise, fresh herring on a sliding rig and big swimbaits or lead-head jigs tipped with squid have been the top producers for the lingcod and rockfish. For the jetties and surf, cast 3- to 5-inch paddle-tail swimbaits in white, motor oil, or root beer—Z-Man and Berkley Gulp! have been especially hot, as Discount Tackle notes on emerging tackle trends. If you’re after surf perch, grab some GULP! sandworms or flick a Kastmaster when the tide’s turning. In the estuaries, especially Tillamook and Netarts Bays, the fall surge of coho is still showing, though the main run is past peak. The Guide’s Forecast on November 8th notes you’ll still find some bright silvers moving through, especially after a rain bump. Bonking a few is possible with spinners—blue-silver or chartreuse—and smaller brad’s wobbler or wigglers. The cut-plug herring or anchovy still works if you can troll when the wind lays down. Top hot spots today? Try: - The North Reef off Pacific City—prime for lingcod at the afternoon high tide, especially if you get offshore between the rain squalls. - The Three Roc This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise hit at 7:07am and sunset is set for 4:51pm, giving us short daylight but plenty of opportunity for hearty fall fishing. Today's tides near Pacific City show a high at 4:47am (6.4 ft), low at 9:56am (3.3 ft), another high at 3:23pm (7.7 ft), and the evening low rolls in at 11:02pm (-0.6 ft), making for a classic set-up for both surf and boat anglers. There’s a bit of a swing, so keep an eye for the outgoing tide late morning and plan deep water pursuits or beach casting accordingly, as bite windows will coincide with those tidal changes. Weatherwise, it's cool, mostly cloudy, and the winds are calm this morning, just about perfect for getting out[17][5][8]. On the salt, Dungeness crab continues its role as the star. Newport led the charge during the commercial season with 5.4 million pounds landed and nearly $97 million shelling out to the fleet. Recreational pots have followed suit, with solid numbers for shoreline and jetty casters getting good crab for the pot, particularly around Depoe Bay, Newport, and Astoria. Remember, pre-season ODFW testing on domoic acid is still ongoing, but impacts have been minimal locally so far according to the Lincoln Chronicle. Rockfish action has stayed consistent around rocky outcrops—recent boat reports show limits are common, especially paired with the crab. Anglers using shrimp flies, curly tail grubs in motor oil or root beer, and metal jigs like Major Craft Solpara or Daiwa Zakana in 40-80g sized for bottom structure have done well. Lingcod numbers have ticked up this past week with a few 8-15 lb class brutes landed north and south of Pacific City, mostly on swimbaits or big herring, while charter totals up out of Berkeley earlier this week were stocked deep with mingled lingcod, rockfish, and crab, signaling similar activity on our side of the border[1][7][10][12][4]. Fall Chinook salmon are finishing up their run in coastal estuaries, but there are still coho and some late king salmon out there for the persistent. The Chetco and Nehalem estuaries have shown some steady early morning bites, especially around the mouth and upriver bends. Trolling cut plug herring or spinners (chartreuse and silver are the go-to colors) has proved most productive. Halibut and surf perch reports are waning as water temps cool off, but if you’re determined, halibut have been taken off deeper reefs using 1-2 lb lead, salted herring, or octopus, mostly from boats and charters. For surf perch, the best action is on the falling tide; Gulp sandworms, mussels, or clams fished in the wash between Pacific City and Netarts give solid results. Hot spots for today: - **Pacific City south jetty**: Dungeness crab, rockfish, lingcod. - **Newport reefs and nearshore kelp beds**: Consistent rockfish, good crabbing, occasional halibut. - **Nestucca Bay mouth during outgoing tide**: Chance for late salmon, consistent perch. - **Depoe Bay**: This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. Mon, 10 Nov 2025 08:24:52 -0000 full Inception Point AI This is Artificial Lure with your November 10, 2025, Pacific Ocean Oregon fishing report. Sunrise hit at 7:07am and sunset is set for 4:51pm, giving us short daylight but plenty of opportunity for hearty fall fishing. Today's tides near Pacific City show a high at 4:47am (6.4 ft), low at 9:56am (3.3 ft), another high at 3:23pm (7.7 ft), and the evening low rolls in at 11:02pm (-0.6 ft), making for a classic set-up for both surf and boat anglers. There’s a bit of a swing, so keep an eye for the outgoing tide late morning and plan deep water pursuits or beach casting accordingly, as bite windows will coincide with those tidal changes. Weatherwise, it's cool, mostly cloudy, and the winds are calm this morning, just about perfect for getting out[17][5][8]. On the salt, Dungeness crab continues its role as the star. Newport led the charge during the commercial season with 5.4 million pounds landed and nearly $97 million shelling out to the fleet. Recreational pots have followed suit, with solid numbers for shoreline and jetty casters getting good crab for the pot, particularly around Depoe Bay, Newport, and Astoria. Remember, pre-season ODFW testing on domoic acid is still ongoing, but impacts have been minimal locally so far according to the Lincoln Chronicle. Rockfish action has stayed consistent around rocky outcrops—recent boat reports show limits are common, especially paired with the crab. Anglers using shrimp flies, curly tail grubs in motor oil or root beer, and metal jigs like Major Craft Solpara or Daiwa Zakana in 40-80g sized for bottom structure have done well. Lingcod numbers have ticked up this past week with a few 8-15 lb class brutes landed north and south of Pacific City, mostly on swimbaits or big herring, while charter totals up out of Berkeley earlier this week were stocked deep with mingled lingcod, rockfish, and crab, signaling similar activity on our side of the border[1][7][10][12][4]. Fall Chinook salmon are finishing up their run in coastal estuaries, but there are still coho and some late king salmon out there for the persistent. The Chetco and Nehalem estuaries have shown some steady early morning bites, especially around the mouth and upriver bends. Trolling cut plug herring or spinners (chartreuse and silver are the go-to colors) has proved most productive. Halibut and surf perch reports are waning as water temps cool off, but if you’re determined, halibut have been taken off deeper reefs using 1-2 lb lead, salted herring, or octopus, mostly from boats and charters. For surf perch, the best action is on the falling tide; Gulp sandworms, mussels, or clams fished in the wash between Pacific City and Netarts give solid results. Hot spots for today: - **Pacific City south jetty**: Dungeness crab, rockfish, lingcod. - **Newport reefs and nearshore kelp beds**: Consistent rockfish, good crabbing, occasional halibut. - **Nestucca Bay mouth during outgoing tide**: Chance for late salmon, consistent perch. - **Depoe Bay**: This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 311 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI3564624348 Artificial Lure here with your Oregon Pacific Coast fishing report for Sunday, November 9th, 2025. **Tide and Weather** This morning at Pacific City, first light hit at 7:06am, and we’re looking at sunset around 4:52pm. Tides today started with a high at 3:43am (6.6 ft), swinging down to low at 8:49am (0.3 ft), then rising again to 2:15pm for a high water mark at 6.3 ft. Late season means quick transitions—ideal for timing your set-up during the mid-morning incoming tide. Weatherwise, we’ve got rain easing off and partly cloudy skies, with brisk southeast winds 15–25 knots out on the ocean. Offshore swells are still running 6–11 ft, so smaller crafts should play it safe and stick to estuaries or bays. The cold front moving in later today might push some fish into nearshore pockets, especially as the system brings colder air and high pressure overnight. According to the Ocean Prediction Center, look for calmer seas into Monday before the next round of low pressure heads in[5][8]. **Fish Activity & Recent Catches** It’s coho season’s tail-end, but there’s still action. TheGuidesForecast.com notes a solid surge of coho after last week’s rains, and hatcheries clocked nearly 1,200 new returns, bringing totals up fast. Most bank and boat anglers reported decent hookups in the Sandy and Nestucca systems—just keep an eye on clarity, as snowmelt has dropped visibility in some spots. Chinook are also showing up, with some bright fish in the lower rivers, though the biggest runs have already shot upriver. Estuary anglers on the North Fork Nehalem pulled in 200 coho on Wednesday, and overall, Oregon’s midcoast rivers like the Siletz and Alsea are still open for wild coho retention through November. Off the docks and party boats in coastal NorCal, folks bagged limits: the California Dawn II came through with 250 Dungeness crab and 250 rockfish for 25 anglers on November 8, and the Reel Addiction boats landed a few lingcod along with plenty of rockfish. Lingcod are popping steadily—when you can get out in between rough ocean stretches, they’re a solid bet for inshore jiggers. **Best Lures and Bait** Top-performing lures for November include tried-and-true patterns like *Spin-N-Glo*, *Flatfish*, and *Rooster Tail* for salmon species, especially in the river mouths and tidal stretches. For rockfish and lingcod, locals stick to big soft plastics in brown or motor oil, drop-shot setups with curlytail grubs, and jigs tipped with Berkley PowerBait swimbaits or squid imitations. Crabbers are having luck with Danielson Crab Trap Bait Pins loaded up with fish carcasses. If you’re targeting coho or chinook, smaller plugs and wobblers in chartreuse or metallic blue get those reaction bites when fish move through the tide. Live bait is limited with colder water, but cut herring, anchovy, and sand shrimp are still the go-to for tracking down late salmon and big bottom fish. Sand shrimp can work in combo rigs with a Spin-N-Glo for steelhead if the rivers clear up a tou This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise came at 7:04 am and we’re looking at sunset around 4:53 pm, so that’s your window for getting after it. A chilly marine layer hung off the coast this morning, with light winds and clouds holding steady, but overall it’s calm seas—perfect for getting on the water, as confirmed by the National Weather Service marine forecast and what I saw putting in at Pacific City this morning. Today’s tidal swing is ideal for skinny-water action on the salt. In Pacific City, high tide peaked at 12:33 pm by 9.22 feet and drops out to a long, negative -1.51 ft low at 8:02 pm according to TidesChart. Nestucca Bay’s high topped out just a hair later, while the outgoing tide in the afternoon sets up excellent opportunities both in the surf and estuary edges. Work those outgoing flows around creek mouths and jetties for actively feeding fish. Offshore, Dungeness crab and rockfish are lining coolers at a steady clip. Nor Cal Fish Reports relays impressive numbers—boats out of nearby ports seeing easy limits of both, with the occasional lingcod thrown in the mix. Locals are picking up healthy Dungeness in the 2–2.5 lb. range with chicken backs or fish carcasses in pots. For rockfish, the classic combo of shrimp flies tipped with squid and swimbaits in root beer or motor oil have been top producers. Lingcod are smashing white and blue paddle tails worked tight to rocky outcrops. Surf anglers and jetty regulars are still finding late-run coho and a few bright chinook, especially on the high incoming this week. The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife just extended wild coho opportunities in the Siletz, Yaquina, and Alsea—which has the fish moving—and ocean coho that make a detour up Nestucca sometimes take hardware. The best bet: 3/4-ounce spoons in chrome or orange, or chartreuse plugs for cast-and-retrieve. Early in the morning or on a flooding tide, you can hook up with a surprise chinook. Meanwhile, surfperch action is picking back up, with sand shrimp and Berkeley Gulp! camo sandworms taking plenty of slabs, especially just north of the Cape Kiwanda parking lot. Most recent party boat trips offshore are still reporting plenty of black rockfish, canaries, and decent shots at lingcod. Some boats working from Depoe Bay south are even seeing Pacific halibut in the mix, especially those bouncing big white jigs off the bottom in 300 feet. It’s a transition month—expect more crabbing and bottom fishing action as salmon winds down in the salt, but don’t count out a late bright or two pushing up the estuaries on the tides this week. If you’re itching for a hot spot, my picks today are: - **Nestucca Bay South Jetty**: Early outgoing for coho or chinook with hardware, and the rocks for greenling and lingcod. - **Cape Kiwanda Surf Zone**: Target surfperch just before the low at dusk, with Gulp! or sand shrimp doing the work.

Sunrise hit at 7:03am, with sunset to follow at 4:54pm. Today’s tides for Pacific City and Nestucca Bay include a high tide just before 2am at about 6.9 feet, a low at 7:03am at 2.6 feet, the next high at 12:43pm peaking at 9.3 feet, and finally a low at 8:12pm with a minus tide of -1.7 feet. These strong midday highs and negative evening lows set up classic windows for both surf and jetty action—timing your efforts around the slack and turn of the tides will give you an edge. Weatherwise, we’re looking at a classic November pattern. Recent rain has improved river and nearshore conditions, but ocean swells are still keeping surf a bit stirred. Northwest winds are expected in the 15–20 knot range with gusts possible up to 25, and seas at 4 to 7 feet—so small craft advisories are in effect. Shorebound anglers will find less wind in the morning, and inshore bays should offer fishable windows later in the day. Fish activity is picking up thanks to the fresh flush of rainwater. Down at the mouths, salmon anglers are reporting some Chinook and late coho caught between Charleston and Empire Boat Ramp, with fish moving into the Coos and lower Millicoma rivers—bite is best a couple hours around slack tide. Remember, regulations have changed this year: you can keep up to three salmon per day in the Coos Basin, but check wild Chinook bag limits carefully. Surfperch are strong: look for striped surfperch around the jetties and red-tail surfperch off beaches like Horsefall. Rockfish and lingcod are producing steady numbers. This year’s marine bag is three fish plus two lingcod. Canary rockfish and cabezon have sub-bag limits—remind yourself of the details before you fill the cooler. Reports show that sand shrimp fished near the bottom around structure and jetties is a top producer for both species right now. Big rubber swimbaits in brown or motor oil, and classic metal jigs, have also been accounting for limits. For bass and trout on the freshwater side, Agate and Emigrant Lakes are still giving up bass, crappie, and yellow perch, though things slow down as temperatures drop. Trout stocking resumes in February, but holdover rainbows are catchable with PowerBait or worms fished just off the bottom, especially after the rain. Best lures and baits for the salt? For jetty and rock anglers, 3- to 5-inch curly-tail grubs in white or chartreuse, scented with a little shrimp oil, have been hot. Metal jigs and swimbaits produce lingcod and bigger rockfish. Surfcasters targeting red-tail surfperch score with Berkley Gulp! sandworms, sand shrimp, or clam necks rigged on small hooks and cast just beyond the breakers. Salmon anglers drifting the bay mouths are finding success with spinners in silver/chartreuse or anchovy-wrapped plugs.

We’ve kicked off the day with some wild coastal conditions. A high surf advisory remains in effect until 7 p.m., with waves reaching up to 25–30 feet according to BeachConnection.net. There’s also minor tidal flooding predicted along Highway 101, especially near river mouths and bays, so take extra caution getting to any launch point. Dense clouds and wind are shifting waves, but skies should open up intermittently as the day moves on. Temperatures will hover in the upper 50s, with the wind chill making it feel a bit sharper. Sunrise came at 7:03 a.m. and we’ll see sunset at 4:53 p.m., so plan your fishing windows accordingly. Tides today around Pacific City are running high at 12:53 a.m. with a solid 7-foot spike, dipping low mid-morning, then surging again toward late afternoon (Surfline’s tide calendar shows strong tidal movement). Fish are active, but it’s a sea change moment for the season. The nearshore bite is still producing solid catches. According to party boat fish counts and dock reports yesterday, anglers are finding success with rockfish, lingcod, and some surprise late-season cabezon. Deeper water folks are working the reefs for decent numbers of black rockfish, copper rockfish, and the occasional yellowtail. Lingcod have been especially aggressive, taking jigs and large soft plastics off the deeper ledges near Haystack Rock and the Three Arches Rocks area. Crabbing has been so-so, with lots of soft-shells mixed in, but a few keepers are being pulled on slack tide with chicken and fish frames. Don’t sleep on the salmon story this fall. Migration has hit historic highs on the upper Klamath basin, as reported by the LA Times, with salmon returning to restored tributaries after dam removals. While ocean salmon seasons are mostly closed off Oregon, these runs are energizing river ecosystems, and folks nearby on the Columbia River have found excellent coho and steelhead fishing during tide changes and mild surf, as the latest Columbia River Fishing Report describes. If you’re anywhere near estuaries and can legally target steelhead, morning and early evening swings with spinners and soft beads have triggered bites near the mouth. For surf anglers, the big story is the perch bite. Even with pounding surf, surf perch are hanging tight to the troughs; Gulp sandworms or natural sand shrimp on a Carolina rig work best. Try the northern edge of Pacific City and Bob Straub State Park for deeper troughs and less traffic. Hot spots today: - South jetty at Netarts Bay: sheltered from surf, solid for rockfish and crab. - Nearshore reefs off Pacific City: ideal for lingcod and limits of black rockfish, especially at first light and just before sunset. Best lures and bait right now: - Deep jigs (2–4 oz, rootbeer and chartreuse) and swimbaits for lingcod. - Gulp sandworms, bloodworms, and sand shrimp for surf perch. - Li This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Big news up front: **King tides are rolling in with swells up to 30 feet and a high wind warning along the coast**. The National Weather Service and local sheriffs are urging caution—beach access and jetty fishing are dangerous the next few days. Safety first: stay off exposed rocks and keep an eye on those sneaker waves. These king tides are peaking daily between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., causing minor flooding in bays and some coastal spots, with great potential for high surf and beach erosion, especially near Clatsop, Tillamook, and south to Coos Bay, as covered by KCBY News and the Tillamook County Pioneer. **Weather-wise**, we’re looking at windy, cloudy conditions with surface gusts making for choppy water. **Sunrise** was at 7:06 a.m., **sunset** will hit at 4:53 p.m. Temperatures hover in the low 50s but feel a good deal colder with the wind off the Pacific. Tide levels in Newport and the surrounding coast are pushing high marks—all thanks to the king tides. For Newport today, you’ve got a morning high tide around 10:26 a.m. at nearly 10 feet, and a low just after 5 p.m. If you’re fishing estuaries or upriver, expect strong flows and some murky water from both the tide surge and runoff. **Fishing activity:** Despite the rough surf, reports from local charters and recent trips suggest **rockfish and crab are still reliably biting when boats can get out between weather windows**. Offshore, when it’s safe, boats have been getting limits of black rockfish and a decent number of lingcod, though effort has dropped due to the storms. **Dungeness crab** pots have been pulling well near the mouths and just inside the bays. Surf perch are layin’ low this week, given the surge, but can be worth a shot once things relax. For those braving sheltered bay waters or river mouths, **white sturgeon remains a viable catch-and-release option**, especially at high tide push in places like the lower Columbia and Tillamook Bay, per Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. River anglers are finding late coho slowing but some bright fish still being caught on plug-cut herring and natural sand shrimp. Floating bait rigs are producing the occasional sea-run cutthroat in less turbid stretches, as recommended by Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. **Hot spots:** - **Yaquina Bay Dock to the South Jetty:** When the swells allow, boats and hardy bank anglers continue pulling in rockfish and crab near the channel edge. - **Tillamook Bay Garibaldi Pier:** A go-to for sturgeon and crab, especially when the ocean surf is too much. - **Columbia River, Astoria-Megler Bridge area:** Those looking for catch-and-release sturgeon have done well on squid strips and smelt, but savor the fight and mind your license. **Lure and bait choices:** - For sheltered inlet and bay rockfish: **3-inch swimbaits in motor oil, chartreuse, or black sparkle work well, especially paired w This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

For Newport today, you’ve got a morning high tide around 10:26 a.m. at nearly 10 feet, and a low just after 5 p.m. If you’re fishing estuaries or upriver, expect strong flows and some murky water from both the tide surge and runoff. **Fishing activity:** Despite the rough surf, reports from local charters and recent trips suggest **rockfish and crab are still reliably biting when boats can get out between weather windows**. Offshore, when it’s safe, boats have been getting limits of black rockfish and a decent number of lingcod, though effort has dropped due to the storms. **Dungeness crab** pots have been pulling well near the mouths and just inside the bays. Surf perch are layin’ low this week, given the surge, but can be worth a shot once things relax. For those braving sheltered bay waters or river mouths, **white sturgeon remains a viable catch-and-release option**, especially at high tide push in places like the lower Columbia and Tillamook Bay, per Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. River anglers are finding late coho slowing but some bright fish still being caught on plug-cut herring and natural sand shrimp. Floating bait rigs are producing the occasional sea-run cutthroat in less turbid stretches, as recommended by Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. **Hot spots:** - **Yaquina Bay Dock to the South Jetty:** When the swells allow, boats and hardy bank anglers continue pulling in rockfish and crab near the channel edge. - **Tillamook Bay Garibaldi Pier:** A go-to for sturgeon and crab, especially when the ocean surf is too much. - **Columbia River, Astoria-Megler Bridge area:** Those looking for catch-and-release sturgeon have done well on squid strips and smelt, but savor the fight and mind your license. **Lure and bait choices:** - For sheltered inlet and bay rockfish: **3-inch swimbaits in motor oil, chartreuse, or black sparkle work well, especially paired w This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 301 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI5998331910 This is Artificial Lure checking in with your November 4th, 2025, Pacific Ocean Oregon coast fishing report. If you’re up bright and early, get ready to dodge some classic fall Oregon weather! The sunrise cracked the horizon around 6:39AM this morning, and sunset is expected at 5:07PM. Right now, we’re smack in the middle of an atmospheric river event—steady rain, hefty winds, and temps are hovering in the low 50s. The National Weather Service and local outlets alike are warning anglers about possible strong gusts and some minor flooding, with this wet pattern likely to hang around all week. Tidal swings are dramatic today. According to NOAA Tides & Currents, you’ve got a high at 9:27AM—pushing nearly 9 feet—then a minus tide at 4:31PM, ideal for clamming or getting into the rocky holes for bottom fish. Remember, with these fast-moving tides and heavy runoff, surf and river mouths may churn up fast, so use extra caution on jetties and sand spits. Let’s talk bite: Recent NorCal and Oregon boat reports have been loaded with Dungeness crab and rockfish hauls. Boats working from Crescent City to Astoria continue to limit out on Dungeness crab, averaging a crab per pot and raking in hundreds of rockfish per trip. Lingcod counts are decent but not epic—most boats reporting a handful per trip, with larger fish coming off the deeper reef edges. Emeryville and Berkeley boats logged full limits of Dungeness crab and between 150–280 rockfish per trip this week. Coastal setups north and south have reported nearly identical numbers, so expect solid action on deep reef structure, especially during that morning slack after today’s big high tide. This is also the tail end of the fall Chinook and coho salmon runs. Rain has jumpstarted fresh fish to push into coastal rivers like the Nehalem, Tillamook, and Nestucca Bays. Larger tides have those estuaries holding bright salmon, with a mix of steelhead starting to show up as well. ODFW and local guides are reporting a handful of surprise sockeye—likely unmarked kokanee flushed out of inland reservoirs over the last couple of years—turning up in the Willamette system, averaging 18–24 inches. As for lures and bait, it’s hard to beat a 4- to 6-ounce diamond jig or large curly-tail swimbait bounced near the bottom for rockfish and lingcod. Glow-in-the-dark, root beer, and white are standards. Cold and stormy conditions have those fish hugging structure, so tip your jig with a strip of herring or squid for an edge. If you’re crabbin’, chicken backs and fish carcasses remain the most productive bait in pots. For salmon in the bays, plug-cut herring or anchovy, trolled behind a flasher, is money right now—and don’t forget to adjust your depth during tidal swings. November on the Oregon coast means bass are slowing down, but Wired2Fish recommends you keep a squarebill crankbait, jerkbait, and a 3/8-ounce buzzbait in your arsenal—especially for jetty black rockfish or the few hearty smallmouth still on the move in tidew This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Today kicked off cool and crisp with sunrise right at 7:03 AM and sunset expected at 5:00 PM. Morning temps hovered around 48°F on the coast and the barometer held steady—classic early November steelhead weather. The tide rolled in soft at just over 1 foot low around 4:09 AM in Pacific City, climbing towards a late morning high near 6 feet right before noon, based on Surfline’s charts. That big midday push should've helped mix things up and drive bait in along the breakers and jetty lines. By late afternoon, expect another moderate ebb before the outgoing pulls water—and action—back out by dusk. On the offshore front, NOAA’s marine forecast called for northwest winds at 10-20 knots with seas backing down from 8-11 feet in the morning to about 7-10 feet by tonight. Choppy but fishable nearshore, with occasional longer sets—standard for autumn. A sou'westerly pattern is pushing, but it’s nothing regulars haven’t fished around before. Fish activity is solid for those targeting the fall bounty. This past weekend, Norcal Fish Reports logged boats up and down from Crescent City snaring full limits of Dungeness crab on Saturday’s opener—280 crab per boat was routine for the charters working inside and around the bar. Rockfish are mixed in well too, with many boats in the 200-250 range per charter, plus a handful of lingcod to spice up the counts. Closer to home, Pistol River and the central coast rivers are in good shape for late-run Chinook and coho salmon, with steelhead and cutthroat holding on the fringes according to CoastView. Salmon have been stacking at the river mouths waiting for another good rain to push inland. Anglers on the SCPI and Alsea have been hitting bright fish at first and last light, mostly pulling spinners (think #5 Blue Fox or Mepps in chartreuse or pink) or anchoring with plug-cut herring wrapped in scent. Soft plastics and sandshrimp drifted on the incoming tide are getting bites from those walking the surf near beach outflows. Surfcasters are still connecting with nice redtail surfperch using 2-inch Gulp sandworms in camo and motor oil, or sandshrimp tipped on a hi-lo rig. Rockpiles around Tillamook Head and the tips of the jetties continue to spit out black rockfish and the odd greenling, especially at the change of the tide. For bottomfish, lead-head jigs with curlytails in white or rootbeer, or 3-oz metal spoons that imitate candlefish, are the go-to. Proprietary crab traps baited with fish carcasses or chicken have been filled to the brim—make sure you’re minding your depth and soak times. Top spots today: the Nehalem Bay jetty is producing crab and coho early, and the area abeam the Yaquina South Jetty is a strong bet for mixed bottomfish. If you’re looking to escape the crowds, swing by the stretch near Pistol River State Scenic Viewpoint for a shot at coastal cutthroat and migratory salmon in solitude.

Early November has brought classic coast weather—chilly, damp mornings and a break from the real heavy rain we saw last week. This morning we started with cloudy skies and a stiff breeze out of the south. Forecasts show lighter winds by midday, but bring your rain gear just in case—it’s been one of those socked-in weeks, but those showers can bring the bite on. Sunrise today was at 7:13AM and sunset will be at 4:47PM, so get your lines wet early if you want to hit those prime hours. Tide-wise, at Pacific City and Nestucca Bay we had a low at 3:26AM around 1.1 feet, a high swinging in at 9:07AM peaking at over seven feet, with another ebbing out late afternoon[Surfline/Pacific City]. That gives a solid incoming tide through mid-morning, which is always a sweet window for salmon staging and rockfish pushing close. Salmon anglers working the lower Nestucca, Trask, and Alsea have been picking up some late-season Chinook, though most are now up in the rivers staging or already showing those signs of color. Table quality is hit or miss this late, but the Wilson and Kilchis systems are still producing a few chrome-bright kings for folks putting the time in. Coho are mostly spent, but the occasional dime-bright fish is getting wrestled to hand for catch and release[The Guide’s Forecast]. Nearshore and off the beach, ocean opportunity for halibut and Chinook has closed as of October 31st, but you can still fill a limit with black rockfish and lingcod—just remember, the daily bag limit is now three for rockfish. Lingcod are hitting swimbaits and larger curly tails bounced along the rocky reefs offshore from Garibaldi and Depoe Bay. If you’re braving the surf, sand shrimp and clam necks on a basic hi-lo rig have been the ticket for redtail surfperch. With mussel harvesting now back on from Cascade Head south, gatherers are back at it, but always double-check the Shellfish Safety Hotline before you head out because biotoxin levels can change overnight[Oregon Dept. of Agriculture]. Hot baits and tactics—troll the last of your hatchery Chinook with plug-cut herring or spinner rigs in tidewater, and for steelhead, drift beads, soft worms, or yarn balls under a float are all solid bets in rising river conditions. Offshore bottom bouncers are still doing damage with white jigs tipped with squid for lingcod and larger plastics for those stubborn cabezon. For you crabbers, ocean crabbing’s still closed after October 15th, so don’t bring the pots, but bay crabbing in Tillamook or Netarts can reward you with some hard-shelled Dungeness—try chicken or fish carcasses for best soak.

Afternoon sees another low around 2:48 PM at 2.53ft, and wraps up with a high at 8:16 PM near 5.61ft. These moderate tides mean strong currents will push baitfish in and out, really switching fish activity around the tidal changes (Surfline, Tides4Fishing, TidesChart). **Weather’s classic November Oregon coast:** gray skies, crisp air, maybe patchy drizzle, and some wind in the teens—grab your layers! Seas off Brookings, further south, are running 12–14ft with NW swells; water temps near 57°F. Winds start northwest 10–15 knots, swinging north, so surf and jetty anglers will face a bit of chop (BeachConnection.net). **Fish activity is picking up, both offshore and in the bays.** Sportfishing Report and seasonal trends say November brings prime bites for surf perch, black rockfish, lingcod, and the start of the Dungeness crab season, which opens today. Lingcod and rockfish catches along jetty rocks and reefs have been good, with early boats hitting limits. Recent Newport fishing reports highlight solid bottom fish catches as well as late-season coho still showing in the mix; bait balls are thick, so action is steady (FishingBooker, SportfishingReport). For baits and lures, *you want to match the hatch*. - **Jetties and nearshore reefs:** Berkley Gulp! Sandworms or curly tail grubs in chartreuse and root beer catch surf perch and rockfish well. Lingcod have been hammering larger swimbaits and big jigs—try white or blue if water’s cloudy. - **Crabbers:** Chicken backs and oily fish heads set in ring traps or pots are the go-tos for Dungeness (Berkley Fishing, local know-how). If you’re surf casting, nothing beats a two-hook hi-lo rig baited with sand shrimp or fresh clam, especially near Pacific City and Cape Kiwanda. For the kayak or small boat crowd, slow-troll cut-plug herring or bounce drop-shot squid along outer reefs and kelp beds. **Hot Spots for Today:** - **Nestucca Bay entrance:** Sheltered waters and the tides moving bait; black rockfish, perch, and some late coho when available. - **Cape Kiwanda:** The north jetty and rocky points nearby have seen reliable lingcod and rockfish. Dungeness pots do well in the adjacent sandy lanes. - **Newport’s South Jetty:** Always a solid bet, especially for mixed bags of bottom fish and the first-round crabs of the season. Fall’s new arrivals in the tackle world—like Berkley PowerBait MaxScent and Rapala swim baits—are getting big buzz locally for black rockfish in colder water. If you’re targeting lingcod, heavy metal jigs tipped with squid strips often land the biggest fish. Want This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The sun came up this morning at 7:07 a.m., with sunset set for 5:58 p.m., giving you an eleven-hour window for action. Tidal swings are in full effect: expect a high tide at 6:39 a.m. around 5.6 feet, dropping to a low just after noon at 3.6 feet, then rising again to a solid 5.7 feet by dinner time according to Tide-Forecast.com. Fish will move with that water, so plan your trips into the bays or estuaries around those changes; the best bite often brackets the slack tides. Weatherwise, Tillamook County Pioneer predicts patchy clouds and light offshore breeze to start the day, with increasing chance of showers into the evening. There’s a light chop but early hours are fishable, and ocean conditions could turn up by late afternoon. Rain gear is wise if you’re hanging past lunch, and check those ocean bar reports if you’re heading out from ports like Garibaldi, Newport, or Charleston. The fall bottomfish bite is hanging strong. Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife notes Garibaldi and Newport anglers are still bringing in near-limits of mostly black and deacon rockfish, along with a fair showing of yellowtail. Lingcod action has been on the slower side, averaging just under half a fish per rod at Garibaldi and Newport, but warms up if you move south—Charleston is reporting close to three-quarters of a lingcod per angler. For best results, fish those rocky reefs or jetties during the flooding tide. Lingcod are notoriously territorial and won’t move far, even on overcast days. Best lures right now: paddle-tail swimbaits in white or root beer, bounced off the rocks on a 2- to 4-ounce jig head. Soft plastics resembling herring or octopus work wonders. If you’re fishing from shore, a dropper rig with sand shrimp is a classic winner for rockfish and surfperch, while those chasing after lingcod swear by oversize curly tails or big iron jigs. Salmon season is winding down fast. ODFW has closed coho ocean-wide south of Cape Falcon, but kings (Chinook) are still fair game—one a day, shoreward of the 40-fathom line, through today only. The bites have been slow but steady at the mouths of the major rivers—drift cut plug herring or spinners with lots of flash for your best shot at hooking up before the curtain drops at midnight. Halibut season also bows out today. The Newport docks logged about 0.1 fish per angler this past week—sparse landings due to recent rough ocean, but if you’re after a Pacific barn door, you’ve got a fighting chance if you sneak out on the early tide. In the surf, both striped and redtail surfperch are hunting up and down the beaches. Toss out a sand shrimp or gulp sandworm near the bottom and you should tangle with a few slabs—Horsefall Beach and the north jetty at Tillamook Head get rave reviews. Remember: smaller swells make for both safer and more productive perch fishing. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Salmon season is winding down fast. ODFW has closed coho ocean-wide south of Cape Falcon, but kings (Chinook) are still fair game—one a day, shoreward of the 40-fathom line, through today only. The bites have been slow but steady at the mouths of the major rivers—drift cut plug herring or spinners with lots of flash for your best shot at hooking up before the curtain drops at midnight. Halibut season also bows out today. The Newport docks logged about 0.1 fish per angler this past week—sparse landings due to recent rough ocean, but if you’re after a Pacific barn door, you’ve got a fighting chance if you sneak out on the early tide. In the surf, both striped and redtail surfperch are hunting up and down the beaches. Toss out a sand shrimp or gulp sandworm near the bottom and you should tangle with a few slabs—Horsefall Beach and the north jetty at Tillamook Head get rave reviews. Remember: smaller swells make for both safer and more productive perch fishing.

Sunrise rolled in at 7:52 a.m. and sunset's set for 6:04 p.m. today, so you've got a solid window to hit the water. Tides around Nestucca Bay are on the softer side—a low tide at 1:56 a.m. hits 0.6 feet, followed by a beefier incoming at 8:55 a.m. rushing to 5.9 feet, then out to 2.29 p.m. with a moderate 3.3 feet, and a slow rise again for the evening slack at 7:31 p.m. hitting 5.9 feet. Solunar activity is just below average today, so expect steady but not electric bite windows—late morning and early evening are your best bets. Weather’s cooperative as pressure builds offshore, making for manageable seas and light westerly breezes; drizzle early but clearing up quick with temps in the high 40s at dawn rising to mid-50s. A cold front is approaching but won’t hit until Friday, so today’s a locally classic Oregon coast morning: misty, brisk, and fishy. Catch reports from Oregon Fish Reports and regional charters show the salt’s been rich with lingcod, black rockfish, and the last runs of coho salmon heading for home. Ground fishers targeting the reefs near Depoe Bay and Cape Kiwanda have found steady action, with boats bringing in limits of lingcod up to 12 lbs and rockfish up to 8 lbs. Several charters out of Garibaldi also reported decent halibut in deeper water, though numbers are thinning with the season closing. Surf fishers near Pacific City have seen a few redtail surfperch mixed in on sand shrimp and Gulp! sandworms, especially during the flooding tide. Inside bays, crabbing is just heating up with recreational Dungeness open Nov. 1, but crabbers tuning up pots have already found enough keepers to keep dinner interesting. Reports from the jetties at Tillamook and Newport show a mixed bag: striped bass taking swimbaits and cut anchovy, occasional greenling on shrimp bits, and surprising late-season sea-run cutthroat trout hugging the current slicks. If you’re heading out, best lures for today in the salt are: - **Metal jigs and lead-heads** for rockfish and lingcod. Try 3-5 oz models tipped with squid strips or scented plastics. - ** Great deals on fishing gear https://amzn.to/44gt1Pn This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Here’s your dawn-to-dusk rundown from the docks to the deep. Sunrise peeks over the headlands about 7:25 AM today, with sunset splashing out at 6:41 PM, so you’ve got a near-perfect 11 hours to chase your limit. Tides are on the mellow side—a high at 6:51 AM pushes nearly 6 feet, dropping to a modest midday low just before 11 AM, then rising again for a late afternoon high. With these moderate swings, expect rocky outcrops and kelp beds to be lit up with feeding fish brief windows around shifting water. Weather’s solid for fall—expect cool mornings in the mid-40s, rising to the upper 50s by afternoon, partly cloudy skies and a fresh west wind at 8–15 knots. Seas are stacked at 13 to 15 feet offshore, as reported by Ocean Weather.Gov, so bar crossings and river mouths are rough and best navigated by experienced hands or with a local captain. The bite? It’s been a banner week for bottomfish. According to party boat counts reported by Sportfishing Report, anglers out of Newport and Depoe Bay are hauling in strong numbers: rockfish limits hit early, with big blacks, blues, and a few chubby vermillion and canary mixed in. Lingcod are chewing, with some slabs up to 17 pounds boated off the reefs. Flatties are winding down, but a few last-push Pacific halibut are still coming off the deep edges when conditions cooperate. I’ve talked to skippers and docks in Pacific City and Garibaldi—the story’s the same: best action early on swimbaits and curly tail jigs tight to rocky structure. If heading deep, vertical jigs in bright chartreuse or root beer have put limits in the box. Day in, day out, nothing beats a white or motor oil paddle-tail threaded onto a 2–4 oz leadhead, bounced just above the rocks. If you prefer bait, a slab of fresh squid or herring will always get noticed down in the kelp. Salmon action’s winding down, though a handful of big chinook are still staging near the mouths—try plug-cut herring or anchovy with a light flasher behind a diver for your best odds, especially around the first couple hours of daylight and again near dusk. For those looking for Dungeness crab, keep an eye on regs; the season hasn’t fired up yet, but commercial pots are getting prepped according to the PSMFC crab updates, and some nice keepers are showing up in sport pots around estuaries and jetties. Hotspots today: • **Yaquina Reef (just out of Newport)**—for mixed rockfish and big lings, especially right after the morning high tide. • **Three Arch Rocks (off Oceanside)**—productive for those who can work the swells, with a mix of greenling and the occasional trophy lingcod. • **Tillamook Bay mouth**—playing host to late-run chinook and steady action on black rockfish.

We’re headed into a classic late fall pattern: chilly, calm mornings with a promise of fair weather and rewarding action if you plan it right. Sunrise hit at 7:25 AM this morning, and sunset will dim the horizon around 6:41 PM, giving you over 11 hours of daylight to chase a bite. The forecast calls for cool temps and mostly clear skies, with a light west breeze—perfect for both shore and offshore pursuits. Tidewise, Coos Bay and our mid-coast estuaries saw a high tide this morning peaking around 6:39 AM at just under 6.5 feet, midday low at 11:04 AM, and the next high tide building up for 4:59 PM. These moderate tidal swings mean soft currents—expect a calmer surf and less seaweed, but you’ll want to time your sessions closer to those tide peaks for the best action according to Tide-Forecast.com. Fishing activity up and down the coast has been lively, especially for bottomfish and late-season coho making their final runs. Reports from sportfishing vessels and shore casters alike over the last few days boast solid catches of rockfish, lingcod, and even a few prized cabezon around the reefs and rocky outcrops. Oregon Fish Reports notes limits of rockfish and good lingcod numbers on recent charters from Depoe Bay to Gold Beach. Salmon fishing has become a hit-or-miss affair but persistence has paid off, especially with fresh-run coho near the river mouths according to Northwest Sportsman Magazine. Bait and tackle choice is classic Oregon: - For bottomfish, you can’t go wrong with a 4- to 6-ounce leadhead jig dressed with curly tail grubs or scented paddletails. Berley up with shrimp or squid for added scent trail. - Salmon chasers have had success trolling cut-plug herring behind a chartreuse flasher or switching to spinners—think blue or bright orange blades on a 3/4 oz body—when the current slacks out. - Bass action has picked up in tidal sloughs; if you’re targeting them, try plastics like worms or creature baits, or lean on reliable spinnerbaits and jigs as recommended by the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. Hot spots for today? Keep your eyes on: - The jetties at Yaquina Bay and Coos Bay—rockfish, greenling, and the occasional lingcod have all made appearances. - The mouth of the Nestucca River for late coho and possible chinook, especially on the outgoing tide. - For surf anglers, Cape Kiwanda/Pacific City is a steady bet—redtail surfperch and a bonus striper if you’re patient, using sand shrimp or Berkley Gulp sandworms. With a low tidal coefficient today—currents will be manageable and safer for newer anglers or families. Winds stay reasonable, and boaters should find bar crossings friendlier than in recent weeks according to the Pacific City Tide Calendar from Surfline. If you’re thinking of bringing the kids or just want a little more elbow room, don’t sleep on the small estuaries like Siletz or Alsea.

Let’s kick off with today’s conditions and then dive into the latest bite, baits, and the go-to spots locals are buzzing about. The sun rose at 7:47 AM with sunset set for 6:00 PM, so we’ve got a solid 11 hours of daylight to work the water. Tides are moderate, with a low around 8:39 AM and a strong afternoon high rolling in at 2:37 PM, peaking near 8.5 feet at Pacific City. You’ll want to time your surf launches or jetty shots for late morning through mid-afternoon when the moving water will get the fish feeding. Tidal coefficients today are sitting average, starting at 50 and tapering down into the 40s by sunset, so expect steady, fishable current without wild swings—ideal for both structure and surf anglers. Weatherwise, bundle up: temps are crisp, hovering in the upper 40s to low 50s with classic coastal overcast, and light westerly winds expected to pick up by noon. Fish activity is right in the fall sweet spot, with the last week yielding strong numbers for surfperch, rockfish, and lingcod as the autumn transition kicks in. There’s also good news for jetty and nearshore trollers: several charters out of Garibaldi and Newport reported solid catches of big black rockfish—many boats limiting before lunch and pulling in the occasional hefty ling. Surf anglers have been raving about above-average redtail surfperch, especially on fresher sandcrab beds near the mouth of the Nestucca. For bait, fresh shrimp bits, sandworms, and sandcrabs are best in the surf, while clouser-style bucktail jigs and 3- to 5-inch swimbaits in white, motor oil, or root beer are crushing it from the jetties and rocky points. For those trolling just outside the breakers, small cut plugs and herring have enticed the odd coho or chinook, though salmon numbers are tapering off. According to the Farmers’ Almanac, fishing is fair tonight but look for a spike in bite activity by tomorrow evening—so put in the extra casts near high tide today for the best shot. Hot spots today include the Pacific City South Jetty—productive at high slack for both perch and lingcod on swimbaits—and the rocky flats just north of the Nestucca River mouth, which produced several limits of surfperch and a couple of fine cabezon this weekend. If you’re headed south, consider Otter Rock near Newport: locals reported quick rockfish limits on curly tail grubs tipped with squid, and a few bonus greenling in the pockets. Those fishing from a kayak or small craft just outside the break at Cape Kiwanda took home mixed bags of black rockfish and kelp greenling, mostly on metal jigs bounced on the drop-off. If you’re looking for crab, the word out of Netarts and Tillamook is fair numbers but lots of smalls—stick to chicken backs in shallower traps. For gear, brands like Z-Man, Strike King, and Gulp soft baits have been top producers; color-wise, stick with natural if the water’s clear, or go bright (cha This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We're looking at fair fishing conditions this evening according to the lunar calendar, with things set to improve through midweek. The coast is experiencing stormy weather patterns with winds and seas elevated, particularly near thunderstorms moving through the area. Waters from Cape Shoalwater down to Cape Falcon are seeing rough conditions, so if you're heading out, exercise caution and check current marine forecasts. Despite the weather, the bite has been solid. Recent party boat action shows rockfish dominating the catches. Half Moon Bay Sportfishing brought in 70 rockfish with just 7 anglers, while boats out of Monterey have been crushing it with multiple trips landing 220 rockfish and 35 lingcod combined. The lingcod are running nice and healthy, with some tipping the scales up to 18 pounds. For those working the local rivers and nearshore areas, fall is prime time. Chinook salmon are still in the mix, and if you're lucky enough to hit the right water, these chrome footballs will give you a memorable fight. Drift fishing, bottom bouncing, and spinner techniques are producing well in the river systems. The Dungeness crab season opens November 1st for recreational anglers, so get your pots ready. There are some limitations this year, and the commercial season has been delayed, but opportunity is knocking for those who like pulling traps. For lures, articulated streamers are working well in darker water conditions. Spinners remain a solid choice, especially in current. For bait fishing, live offerings are always reliable, and don't overlook using eggs as the salmon spawn is providing natural drift that resident fish are keying on. Hot spots to consider: Work the waters off Half Moon Bay if conditions allow, or stay closer to shore around the Monterey area where boats have been consistently limiting out. The nearshore structure is holding both rockfish and lingcod right now. Sunrise today is coming early, so get out there and make it count. The fish are biting, you just need to find the right window between weather systems. Thanks for tuning in, and make sure to subscribe for daily reports.

First off, let’s talk tides. Today’s tide action in Pacific City is looking lively—low tide was just after 4am, high tide rolls in around 2:37pm at a solid 8.5 feet, and we’ve got low again around 10pm. If you want some movement, the outgoing tide from late morning through early afternoon is prime time for ripping lures in the surf. Just follow the water out, and you’ll find fish stacked up behind sandbars, waiting to feed. Now, let’s get real about the weather. The National Weather Service and Tillamook County Emergency Management are both flashing big, bold warnings: HIGH WIND WARNING. We’re talking gusts over 55 mph possible from 8am to late tonight, especially near the headlands. That’s not just blowing your hat off—it’s downright dangerous out there. Seas will be nasty, especially offshore, and there’s a real risk for downed trees and power outages. Be smart—fishing from the beaches and bays is possible, but don’t even think about a small boat. Heed the warnings and stay safe. As for sunrise and sunset, dawn broke about 7:45am, and the sun’ll dip around 6:20pm, giving us just shy of an 11-hour window. The best fishing today will be when the wind lets up, but with a forecast this volatile, pick your moments. Early risers might get a quiet stretch before the big south wind kicks in, and late afternoon could see a lull as the low pressure pivots. What’s biting? Mussel harvest just reopened from Cascade Head down to California, so the tide’s been safe for shellfish—but we’re here for the finned action. On the boat side, recent party boat scores out of Nor Cal show great catches of rockfish, lingcod, and striped bass, with a few halibut and leopard sharks mixed in. The Oregon surf this time of year is hot for rockfish and surfperch, and if you can get out, lingcod are hungry. Closer to shore on a dropping tide, I’ve heard of some healthy steelhead and coho working the estuaries—try the Nestucca and Siletz mouths, especially after the rain we’ve had. No official numbers from Oregon party boats, but the scene up north is a good proxy—rockfish limits are doable, lingcod are always a bonus, and the bass bite is on when you find quiet water. Best lures? Rockfish are sucking down jigs: 4–6 oz. leadheads with scampi tails in root beer, motor oil, or green. Lingcod? Think big—8-10 inch plastic swimbaits or a 6 oz. banana head tipped with a curly tail grub. For surfperch, 2-inch Gulp! sandworms in camo or nuclear chicken on a 3/8 oz. jighead are go-to. Steelhead hitting the rivers? Try Blue Fox Vibrax spinners in gold or blue—rainbow and brown trout are slamming these, too.

Sat, 25 Oct 2025 07:26:25 -0000 full Inception Point AI Good morning and welcome to the Oregon coast—this is your pal Artificial Lure with your no-nonsense, straight-out-the-jetty fishing report for Saturday, October 25th, as the sun’s just starting to cut through Pacific City’s mist. First off, let’s talk tides. Today’s tide action in Pacific City is looking lively—low tide was just after 4am, high tide rolls in around 2:37pm at a solid 8.5 feet, and we’ve got low again around 10pm. If you want some movement, the outgoing tide from late morning through early afternoon is prime time for ripping lures in the surf. Just follow the water out, and you’ll find fish stacked up behind sandbars, waiting to feed. Now, let’s get real about the weather. The National Weather Service and Tillamook County Emergency Management are both flashing big, bold warnings: HIGH WIND WARNING. We’re talking gusts over 55 mph possible from 8am to late tonight, especially near the headlands. That’s not just blowing your hat off—it’s downright dangerous out there. Seas will be nasty, especially offshore, and there’s a real risk for downed trees and power outages. Be smart—fishing from the beaches and bays is possible, but don’t even think about a small boat. Heed the warnings and stay safe. As for sunrise and sunset, dawn broke about 7:45am, and the sun’ll dip around 6:20pm, giving us just shy of an 11-hour window. The best fishing today will be when the wind lets up, but with a forecast this volatile, pick your moments. Early risers might get a quiet stretch before the big south wind kicks in, and late afternoon could see a lull as the low pressure pivots. What’s biting? Mussel harvest just reopened from Cascade Head down to California, so the tide’s been safe for shellfish—but we’re here for the finned action. On the boat side, recent party boat scores out of Nor Cal show great catches of rockfish, lingcod, and striped bass, with a few halibut and leopard sharks mixed in. The Oregon surf this time of year is hot for rockfish and surfperch, and if you can get out, lingcod are hungry. Closer to shore on a dropping tide, I’ve heard of some healthy steelhead and coho working the estuaries—try the Nestucca and Siletz mouths, especially after the rain we’ve had. No official numbers from Oregon party boats, but the scene up north is a good proxy—rockfish limits are doable, lingcod are always a bonus, and the bass bite is on when you find quiet water. Best lures? Rockfish are sucking down jigs: 4–6 oz. leadheads with scampi tails in root beer, motor oil, or green. Lingcod? Think big—8-10 inch plastic swimbaits or a 6 oz. banana head tipped with a curly tail grub. For surfperch, 2-inch Gulp! sandworms in camo or nuclear chicken on a 3/8 oz. jighead are go-to. Steelhead hitting the rivers? Try Blue Fox Vibrax spinners in gold or blue—rainbow and brown trout are slamming these, too.

We’re rolling into late fall, and the morning’s starting out cool—expect mid-50s at sunrise, light winds out of the southwest, and a sky that’s toggling between overcast and the occasional sunbreak. According to the National Weather Service, we’ll see some fronts stacking up for the weekend, so keep an eye on building seas pushing 15 feet by Saturday night. Today, however, conditions are workable for a quick ocean run. Tides for Friday are moderate-to-strong, perfect for pushing bait and fish toward the shorelines and jetty points. In Barview (Tillamook Bay), the highs hit at 3:04 am (5.95 ft) and 1:51 pm (7.4 ft), with a low at 8:14 am (2.99 ft) and another just after dark at 9:15 pm (-0.07 ft), based on Barview Tillamook Bay tide forecast. Sunrise lands at 7:45 am with sunset closing the day at 6:14 pm. Let’s talk about the bite. ODFW’s fresh-off-the-press marine zone report notes bottomfish pressure is low but steady, with a 3-fish daily bag (watch those canary rockfish and cabezon sub-limits, and absolutely no retention for yelloweye or quillback). There are plenty of hungry lingcod scattered among rocky structure and jetties up and down the coast—your trusty white or rootbeer swimbait, bounced on a 2 to 4-ounce jighead, is a proven ticket. For best results, target slack tide windows when those lings get aggressive and structure-hugging blacks move closer in. Don’t forget your measuring device—lingcod must be at least 22 inches. Halibut’s winding down as quotas close, but guys sneaking out of Newport last week carved out a slim 0.1 fish per rod average—not quite a bonanza, but you’ll still hook a few on a chunk of herring or octopus, fished right on the bottom if you’re lucky and the current’s manageable. Surfperch are showing along sandy stretches near Pacific City, Neskowin, and Oceanside, with the classic setup—1- to 2-ounce pyramid sinker, a sliding rig, and sand shrimp or Berkley Gulp! camo worms. The incoming tide through mid-morning has produced solid stringers on calmer days, especially near river mouths. Salmon season has closed for coho north of Cape Falcon, while Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain is closed for coho but remains open for most other salmon—just one fish per angler, and only shoreward of the 40-fathom line. Reports say action’s slow, but a few Chinook are still trickling through river mouths—think plug-cut herring in blue-green, trolled behind a dodger near the jaws. In the bays themselves, crabbing pressure’s up and pots are coming up heavy with firm Dungeness. Stabi Dave’s Bait & Tackle in Newport suggests chicken or fish carcasses for best pulls. Today, your **hot spot picks**: - **Barview Jetty** in Tillamook Bay for multi-species action—jigs under overcast, and pile worms at slack tide. - **Yaquina Bay South Jetty** for lingcod and blacks—timing your cast just before high slack. - **Pacific City’s beachfront** for perch on This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise rolled in at 7:26 AM and anglers can expect sunset at 6:21 PM. Tides out of Nestucca Bay today show a high at 2:38 AM at 6.3 ft, a low at 8:03 AM at 2.7 ft, another high at 2:19 PM at 5.8 ft, and a low again at 7:13 PM at 3.1 ft. That means you’ll want to target those first-light and late-afternoon transitions, especially around the tide swings to cash in on feeding frenzies from whatever’s pushing in with the water. The solunar calendar confirms peak fish activity around these times as well. For weather, the Coast is under the influence of a weakening cold front—expect overcast skies early, light southwest winds at 5 to 10 knots, and calming seas as the day goes on. Offshore forecasts from NOAA predict a stable system through Friday, with patchy coastal fog likely to clear up by mid-morning. Now to the good part—fish activity and the bite. Rockfish action is still red hot, with recent charter boat hauls posting full limits by midday; Point Loma’s Daily Double, for instance, returned just yesterday with 130 rockfish for 13 anglers. Lingcod numbers are solid too. Reports from charters like Check Mate and Caroline out of Monterey show double-digit catches of lingcod and hundreds of mixed rockfish—mostly contrasting with Oregon but showing similar species in play. Locally, Oregon Fish Reports mentions consistent catches for both shore and nearshore anglers, especially around rocky reefs and kelp beds, though the bite slows when those northwest winds pick up late. Striped bass and halibut are tapering off, but if you’re working estuaries or river mouths, they’re still worth pursuing, especially at dusk and dawn. Fall patterns are setting up, so be ready for salmonids to start staging off the jetty and river mouths. Razor clam digs were approved for the Washington coast this week and Oregon’s surf perch bite is starting to pick up. As for the best lures and bait, jigs rule for bottom dwellers—expect Aerojig Marabou Jigs and B2 Squid in 1/4 to 1/2 oz. sizes to be top producers at deeper ledges and reefs. Soft plastics and swimbaits in whites and motor oil colors are getting smashed by rockfish, while herring, sand shrimp, and squid strips are reliable for straight bait presentations. Lingcod are hitting big tube jigs and whole squid, especially when bounced along the bottom. Stripers remain in play with topwater and jerkbaits at dusk—check out recent evening trips targeting topwater striper action in Oregon for more proof. Hot spots for today: - **Depoe Bay and Cape Foulweather:** Fish the headlands early for dense rockfish and a shot at trophy lingcod. - **Nestucca Bay mouth:** Great tidal pushes and sheltered structure, with salmon staging and mixed bag action on rockfish and surf perch. - **Winchester Bay jetties:** Strong for bottom fish and the occasional feeder chinook, particularly at the outgoing tide.

We've got decent conditions shaping up today along the Oregon coast. Sunrise hit at 7:39 AM with sunset coming at 6:20 PM, giving us just over 11 hours of daylight to work with. For you Newport area anglers, the tide forecast shows we had our high tide early this morning at 1:57 AM around 6.5 feet, with low tide rolling in around mid-morning. This incoming tide pattern through midday should get those fish moving nicely. Weather-wise, we're dealing with south winds picking up from 5 to 10 knots, increasing to 10 to 15 knots as the day progresses. There's a Small Craft Advisory through Wednesday afternoon, so keep that in mind if you're heading offshore. Seas are building, so nearshore and bay fishing might be your better bet today. The bite has been absolutely lights out lately. Recent reports from California Dawn Sportfishing and Bass Tub Sportfishing show stellar action at the Farallon Islands with rockfish absolutely crushing it. Up in the Bay Area, boats have been coming back loaded with limits - we're talking 150 to 170 rockfish per trip with solid lingcod mixed in, some pushing 14 pounds. For rockfish, you'll want to drop swimbaits and plastics on jigheads or go with traditional rockfish rigs using cut squid or anchovies. The lingcod are hitting large swimbaits and live bait - those California Dawn anglers have been having success with 30 lingcod per trip. If you're targeting stripers in the bays, throwing plugs and swimbaits on the incoming tide is producing. A couple hot spots to hit: Nestucca Bay and Tillamook Bay are both fishing well right now with good tidal movement. The bar conditions at Nestucca Bay entrance are manageable if you time it right with the tides. For those comfortable heading offshore, the nearshore reefs have been producing limits of rockfish when conditions allow. The key today is working that tide change and staying safe with the building winds. Get out early before conditions deteriorate this afternoon.

Starting with the tides at Nestucca Bay entrance, we had a high at 1:12 AM reaching 6.41 feet, followed by a low at 7 AM hitting 1.86 feet. We're looking at another high tide coming in at 12:45 PM climbing to 7.74 feet, then dropping to a minus 0.07 feet at 7:46 PM. That evening low tide is going to be your prime time for working the bay structures. Weather-wise, we're sitting pretty good right now with calm conditions following that high-pressure ridge that moved through. Sunrise hit at 7:40 AM and we've got until 6:19 PM before sunset, giving us a solid fishing window. Recent catches have been impressive. Over at Oregon Inlet, anglers pulled nice redfish around 30 inches using cut bait on the shoals, with plenty of speckled trout hitting live bait and popping corks at inshore spots. The Chetco River mouth has been producing good salmon action. Rock fishing has been phenomenal, with boats like the Dolphin reporting limits of rockfish working depths between 400 to 600 feet on their morning runs. For targeting these waters today, I'm recommending cut bait for redfish if you're working Oregon Inlet area. Live bait under popping corks is deadly for speckled trout right now. If you're heading offshore for rockfish, standard jigs in the 400 to 600-foot range are producing. Crane Prairie and Paulina Lake have both been trending well for late October shore fishing, with East Lake offering excellent wade access. Hot spots to hit: First, focus on the Chetco River mouth for salmon. Second, work the shoals around Oregon Inlet for those big redfish and follow up with inshore structure for trout. If you're boat fishing, those 400 to 600-foot depths offshore are loaded with rockfish right now. The fish are biting, conditions are cooperative, and we've got that sweet low tide coming this evening. Get out there and make it count.

It’s just past sunrise at 7:38 a.m., and the weather’s off to a cool, breezy start. We’ve got a Small Craft Advisory in effect all day, with lingering hazardous seas this morning. Swells are still strong—expect 12 to 15 feet, dropping to 9 to 11 feet by afternoon. Winds will stay light, shifting easterly early and swinging north later. It's safe to say boat anglers should keep a sharp watch and check the marine forecast before heading out. Even so, coastal air temperatures should hit the mid-50s, with patchy clouds and a good chance of dry spells, especially toward sunset at 6:21 p.m. Tides today for the Nestucca Bay entrance set the rhythm: high tide rolls in at 12:21 p.m. at 7.65 feet, with the next low at 7:13 p.m. down at 0.19 feet. These windows are classic for surf and jetty fishing, especially during the rising and falling tides when fish come closer in to feed according to Tide-Forecast.com. Offshore action has been hot lately with charter reports showing “awesome morning on the ocean” and “big fish in the mix.” Recent boat counts from Fisherman's Landing and Oregon Fish Reports highlight strong numbers of rockfish and lingcod. Full day trips up and down the North Coast logged over 230 rockfish and a solid showing of lingcod, some pushing past 20 pounds. Halibut and striped bass are popping up as well, particularly outside the north jetties and along sandy stretches like Pacific City and Depot Bay. Catches from the last few days include: - Lingcod: up to 23 pounds off deeper reefs and rocky outcroppings - Rockfish: limits caught daily, mixture of black, blue, and yellowtail - Halibut: fewer but notable, especially on half-day and full-day charters - Striped Bass: solid bites at the mouth of the rivers and tidal flats Best baits and lures: Locals swear by large swimbaits in chartreuse or root beer for lingcod. Metal jigs, especially butterfly style, are gold for deep rockfish drifts. Fresh squid strips and herring chunks reign supreme for halibut. When surf fishing, sand shrimp and clam necks work wonders for striped bass and the occasional keeper perch. If you’re tossing hardware during tidal swings, try a medium-sized Kastmaster or a silver/blue spoon. On the technique front, bottom fishing is king for boaters—drifts over structure are consistent producers. For surf and jetty anglers, casting during those tide changes brings fish into striking range. Light tackle with fluorocarbon leaders ups your odds in these clear fall waters. A couple of hot spots to put on your list: - The Stonewall Banks reef system off Newport, known for big lingcod and steady rockfish numbers - The Garibaldi North Jetty, which is producing easy limits of rockfish for shorebound casters, with bonus chances at cabezon and greenling - Neskowin Beach flats and Nestucca River mouth for surf perch and the odd late-run salmon October is always special on the Oregon This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Weather on the coast is crisp and cloudy with a light northwest wind, no major storms rolling through according to the National Weather Service’s latest offshore briefing. Seas are mellow this morning but will bump up by evening as the next front presses in, so keep an eye on conditions if you’re late running the ocean. Tidal movement is solid today: high tide came in just after midnight around 7.4 feet, and next low tide is around 7:23 AM with the water dropping to about 0.6 feet according to US Harbors and NOAA tide reports. That means you’re getting outgoing water for most of the morning and a late afternoon flood for the bite window. Recent catches from docks out of Newport and up through Garibaldi and Pacific City show rockfish and lingcod remain hot in deeper reefs, with boats reporting limits of rockfish—species like black, blue, vermillion, and a healthy number of china and copper thrown in. Party boats logged up to 220 rockfish and 38 lingcod out of Monterey on yesterday’s run, and similar action is happening northward today based on NorCal Fish Reports and SportfishingReport. Anglers also checked in with solid numbers of halibut and a handful of striped bass from the nearshore structure. For tackle, locals are sticking to the classics: needlefish jigs in chrome or glow, curly tail grubs on lead heads, and big fluttering metal like P-Line Laser Minnows. If you’re hunting lingcod, a white or chartreuse swimbait, or a large sardine-pattern plug like the tried-and-true Lucky Louie works wonders—vintage plug enthusiasts will recognize the iconic Martin Plug, still a staple for salmon trollers, especially when fish are scattered and you need a scent trail. Salmon action is softer this week as the runs push upriver, but coho and Chinook are still being picked around river mouths, particularly on trolled herring or anchovy behind a flasher. Bait-wise, fresh squid slabs and big sand shrimp are catching the majority of bottom dwellers. Hot spots? You’ll want to fish the reef complex off Cape Lookout; it’s been steady for quality lingcod and rockfish, especially during the early part of the flood. Pacific City’s Three Rocks is producing solid limits, especially on the outgoing morning tide. For those chasing late-season salmon, the mouth of the Nestucca River is seeing some pockets of coho—try a cut plug herring with a green flasher just outside the breakers. Remember, with the salmon run and upcoming dam operation changes on Oregon rivers, regulations are shifting, so double-check slot limits and closures before heading out. The conservation push, reported by the Los Angeles Times, means more spillover water for migrating salmon—let’s hope for stronger returns next season. That’s the rundown for today!

It’s a classic fall coastal morning—bring your rain gear with a warm layer underneath, as we’re waking up to that familiar chilly mist on the jetty. According to US Harbors and real-time reports from Astoria and Warrenton, we’re currently in a typical fall pattern: patchy clouds, cool temps in the low 50s, and that persistent northwest breeze at about 10 knots. High surf advisories are in effect especially for the southern counties—Douglas, Coos, and Curry—so if you’re landing on the open shore, extra caution is strongly advised today. Let’s talk tides. Tide-Forecast shows a morning low around 4:40 AM, first high at 10:57 AM, and a second low coming in at 4:59 PM along the Nestucca Bay entrance. That means the early part of the morning is best for rockfish close to structure, especially as slack starts filling out towards midday. Sunrise is at 7:27 AM, with sunset at 6:36 PM—plenty of daylight for that long autumn session on the water. Recent catches suggest fishing pressure has been brisk before this high surf warning, with party boats like the Samson out of Newport and Charleston reporting solid numbers—limits of rockfish and near-limits on lingcod, especially on those inside reefs and deepwater rocky points. Sportfishing Report posted two days of “limits! limits! limits!” on rockfish and 34 lingcod for 17 anglers, confirming the bite is still hot when boats can get out. Empire Lakes, Coffenbury Lake, and Eel Lake have all been stocked this week with legal and trophy trout, so if the coast gets too wild, the adjacent lakes are a solid fallback for rainbows—look for 1,750 fresh fish at Coffenbury this week according to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife stocking schedule. For saltwater, the top producers right now are white curly-tail grubs, double-rigged swimbaits, and chartreuse or root beer shrimp jigs—especially for targeting lingcod and black rockfish. Locals are tossing metal jigs off the rocks and picking up random cabezon as bycatch. The surf perch action slows a bit as storm surf picks up, but those soaking sand shrimp or Gulp! sandworms find some steady bites if you can keep your rig anchored. For halibut, try drifting live bait when possible, or medium herring and large jigs when you’re beyond the breakers. For chinook salmon moving through the Rogue and other river mouths, trollers are scoring on anchovy or red label herring behind flashy spinners near tidewater—Ashland News reports that king salmon are still running and can be spotted rolling on the calmer days. If you’re looking for hot spots, try: - **South Jetty at the Columbia River entrance**: Still the best combo of lingcod, greenling, and keeper-size rockfish. - **Yaquina Reef** out of Newport: Consistent for big blacks and the occasional sea bass. If you’re sticking to the bays, the Siuslaw and Tillamook are producing a mix of fall chinook and coho as the salmon run This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise hit at 7:34 am with sunset set for 6:27 pm today, giving us a cool, crisp fall window for your casts. Tides on the central coast are prime for morning action—Newport’s first low tide rolled in at 4:12 am at 0.75 feet, topping out with a 7.5-foot high tide at 10:47 am. Expect falling water through midday and a moderate low arriving just before 5 pm. That tidal swing should move bait and stir things up for inshore species according to Tide-Forecast.com. Weatherwise, it’s a mixed bag out there. According to the National Weather Service and Ocean Prediction Center, we’ve got a high pressure ridge sliding over offshore waters this morning, but keep an eye out for a cold front pressing through by tonight, bringing building surf and wind. Seas are rough offshore—some swells have been forecast over 12 feet. Plus, Tillamook County Pioneer has issued a beach hazard for sneaker waves from noon today through Sunday. If you’re on the jetty or surf, watch those incoming sets—safety first. Fall Chinook are the big deal right now. The Northwest Zone Recreation Report from ODFW says salmon fishing is in full swing on the North Coast, especially in the bays—Nestucca, Tillamook, and Nehalem all have fish being caught consistently in tidewater, though numbers in the rivers are just starting to tick up with rain pushing some fresh fish in. Regulations are tightened—one wild fall Chinook limit per day, and do check for updates on wild coho retention days, which are Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays until October 26. Wild coho have been lively in Nehalem and Tillamook bays last week but slowed over the past weekend. There’s still solid opportunity as more fish trickle in, particularly on open harvest days. Summer steelhead are present in the Nestucca and Wilson rivers, with dropping water temps getting them more active and making for good drift-fishing. For the inshore crew, trophy-sized trout (2–4 pounds) were recently stocked in local lakes like Cape Meares and Town Lake, and there’s still a mix of brook trout and cutthroat to be had if you want something different from the main bay scene. Best lures and baits right now: - For Chinook, trolled plug-cut herring, large spinners (chartreuse or copper blade), and Kwikfish with sardine wrap are money. - Coho have been hitting on smaller spinners and Brad’s Super Baits trolled behind short flashers. - Steelhead respond to soft beads, pink worms, and #4–#5 spinners, with drift bobbers working during lower light. - In the lakes and for trout: PowerBait, natural-scented doughs, and small spoons are producing. Hot spots this week: - Tillamook Bay: Pulling in both kings and coho, especially around the Ghost Hole and Bay City areas. - Nestucca Bay: Good catches reported near the mouth on a moving tide—look for Chinook close to the bar on the morning incoming tide. - Cape Meares Lake: Recent trout stocking makes thi This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First light hit us at 7:28 a.m. and you can expect it to fade out at 6:36 p.m. Tides today are moderate—high just before 8 a.m., bottoming out around 1 p.m., and rising again through sunset, according to the latest tables from Barview, Tillamook Bay and Pacific City/Cape Kiwanda. With an average tidal coefficient in Nestucca Bay, currents are moving but not raging, so it's pretty favorable for surf and jetty fishing. Weather's shaping up steady but blustery. National Weather Service out of Medford calls for north winds 15-20 knots near shore, picking up out past 10 miles with gusts touching 30 knots. Seas are hanging at 8–11 feet and steep, so offshore runs are best left to the bigger boats today. By late evening winds should relax, with seas dropping to 7–10 feet. Recent fish activity has been solid along the northern Oregon coast. Party boats like those out of Fisherman's Landing down California way are finding good numbers of rockfish—86 landed in one morning trip—and we've seen similar numbers out of Newport and Garibaldi last week, mostly black and vermilion rockfish. Lingcod remain scattered, but there’s been a few caught near the deeper reefs. Salmon are on their last push—fall Chinook are still being hooked in tidewater stretches, but expect their numbers to taper by the weekend as they head upstream to spawn, as the folks at Oregon Tuna Classic remind. Trout anglers still working the rivers and estuaries are getting decent rainbows and browns above the tidal line near Florence and Tillamook. Best lures continue to be Panther Martin and Mepps Aglia for browns, along with Rooster Tails for rainbows. For bait, it's tough to beat fresh nightcrawlers or salmon eggs. If you're bottom bouncing offshore or along the jetties, rockfish and lingcod are hitting on Berkley Gulp grubs, shrimp flies, and leadhead jigs tipped with squid or herring. Soft-plastics in motor oil or root beer colors have been particularly productive. If conditions allow, try drop-shotting live sand shrimp or a chunk of cut mackerel for those bigger bites. Hot spots today: - The North Jetty at Barview: Sheltered from the strongest wind early, it’s a reliable spot for rockfish and greenling on a rising tide. - Cape Kiwanda: The headland rocks and surf area are great for bottom fishing and those looking to brave the spray for the final runs of Chinook. - Yaquina Bay: Try near the north channel markers for late salmon and always a shot at surf perch during a slow outgoing tide. Bear activity is picking up, with the Oregon Dept. of Fish & Wildlife reminding all coastal anglers to secure food and trash—especially if you’re camping near the trailheads.

We woke to damp skies, passing showers, and the unmistakable hint of autumn chill in the marine breeze. According to the National Weather Service, low pressure offshore is driving in northwesterly winds set to build later today, creating steep, hazardous seas this afternoon and evening. For those heading out, there's a Small Craft Advisory in effect from Saturday afternoon through Saturday evening and a Hazardous Seas Watch running into Sunday—so watch conditions, especially for dory and kayak anglers. Sunrise was at 7:26am this morning and the sunset will hit around 6:39pm, giving you a full crisp fall day to chase Oregon’s coastal treasures. Tidal movement is active: high tide rolled in at Coos Bay at 5:43am (6.07 ft), with low tide expected at 10:43am (2.73 ft). The afternoon brings another substantial high at 4:48pm (8.03 ft), then low at 11:59pm (-0.71 ft). Mid-morning slack tide should be prime for bottom fishing and estuary access. The bite has been solid this past week along the northern and central Oregon coast. According to recent reports, fall Chinook are on the move in Nestucca Bay and up the Nestucca River, with coho showing as well. Steelhead and cutthroat trout are picking up in the estuaries and river mouths. Offshore trips—before the seas roughed up—have produced halibut, lingcod, black rockfish, and the odd yellowtail and tuna for those pushing the run and gun strategy in pockets of clear water. Crabbing remains worthwhile in the bays; the showers and cooler mornings haven’t slowed the legals much. Several local guides have reported limits on Dungeness, with good numbers on Red Rock and rock crab in the pots, pairs of rockfish and sea bass by-catch. Best bets for lures right now: - For Chinook and coho: bright **Fluorescent Spinners** and large **Mag Lips** in chartreuse/metallic or pink/white combos work well on cloudy days. - For bottom species: soft-bodied **Swimbaits** in green pumpkin or root beer, jigged off rocky ledges and reef contours. - For surf perch: 2” gulp sandworms in red and camo, fished on a simple bottom rig during the falling tide. Live bait like herring, anchovy, and sand shrimp remain reliable rain or shine, especially for larger salmon and rockfish holding near structure or channel edges. The local favorite hotspots are buzzing: - **Pacific City**: The dory fleet saw limits on lingcod, sea bass, and the crab pots have been productive. The nearshore bite was especially good from Haystack Rock north to the Three Capes, with groups reporting fun, fast action before weather moved in—PacificCityFishing.com called it a “blast” for all ages. - **Nestucca River Mouth + Bay**: With freshets pushing salmon upstream, the last few tide cycles have brought the best Chinook and coho bite of October. Try from the boat launch up to the Big Nestucca Bridge. - **Coos Bay Jetties**: Steady catches This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Try from the boat launch up to the Big Nestucca Bridge. - **Coos Bay Jetties**: Steady catches This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 292 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI4978423986 Artificial Lure here, bringing you today’s fishing report for the Oregon coast and the nearby Pacific, October 10, 2025. The morning started crisp and cool with cloud cover rolling in across the North Coast, and a light onshore breeze giving a salty tang to the air. Tides are a factor today—Nestucca Bay saw an early morning high at 3:43 a.m. at 6.7 feet, followed by a low at 9:09 a.m. around 2.4 feet. We’ll have another good incoming tide peaking at 2:54 p.m. just under 9 feet. The sun rose at 7:25 a.m. and will duck behind the hills at 6:38 p.m., with a nearly full moon coming up tonight at 8:37—expect more intense tidal swings, great for stirring up bait and riling the fish up according to Tide-Forecast.com and Surfline. Fishing activity is strong across the bays and lower estuaries. Fall Chinook are showing up reliably in Tillamook Bay—fish are being hooked consistently from the lower bay up into the tidewater stretches. Coho catches are picking up steam too, both wild and hatchery, with more pushing in each day. Remember, wild coho are allowed on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays only right now, so today you’ll want to target hatchery fish. Salmon limits have seen some strategic increases—three in aggregate daily in the Coos River Basin, but double-check for local wild Chinook bag updates. Tillamook’s wild Chinook limit this season is down to one per day and just two on the season as part of your salmon/steelhead limit, says the ODFW Northwest and Southwest Zone Reports. Anglers working near the jetties in Coos Bay reported solid bottom fishing—plenty of rockfish and decent-sized lingcod. According to the SW Zone, you’re allowed three general marine fish plus two lingcod, with special sub-bag limits for canary rockfish and cabezon. Lingcod numbers are holding steady, and several boats have tallied limits early. For baits, big swimbaits, large curly-tail jigs, and herring strips on a dropper loop have been deadly this week near the rocky structure and fast water near the tide change. Surf and estuary action is fair for sea perch and occasional flounder, especially when working the softer water near incoming tide. Soft plastics imitating sand shrimp or cut bait close to the bottom produce well in these pockets. Trout lakes just inland, like Bradley and Willow, were stocked last week—if the surf is too rough, these lakes are putting out nice rainbows with PowerBait or nightcrawlers. For the saltwater, fall Chinook remain the headline act. The hot setup has been plug-cut herring or anchovy behind a chartreuse flasher, trolled slow against the current in the lower bays, especially around the main channels or channel edges near a tide change. Hardware fans are also lining up behind Brads Super Baits, Pro Trolls, or SpinFish in green, blue, or chrome, especially on cloudy mornings. To maximize your chances, the best fishing windows line right up with those tide changes—fish activity spikes as the water moves, so plan to be on your spot an hou This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

If you were up before sunrise, you saw a beauty at 7:25am, with sunset scheduled for 6:41pm. Today’s tides out of Coos Bay run a high at 4:42am, low at 9:56am, afternoon high at 4:01pm, and a late low around 11pm. Nestucca Bay shows similar cycling, so no matter where you are, plan to hit the water just before or after these peaks for the best fish movement. Tides are generous and should give strong push for salmon, rockfish, and perch through the incoming water. Weatherwise, the National Weather Service put us under below advisory seas until evening, with south winds 5 to 10 knots early, swinging northwest later on. Seas build up this evening to 5-6 feet, so expect conditions to get sportier by late afternoon. Pack your layers, and stay alert for a slight chance of rain as night rolls in. Now let’s get to the bite: It’s early October, and the fall patterns have locked in. The salt is loaded with coho and chinook salmon. According to Northwest Sportsman Magazine and recent ODFW reports, coho runs have been solid all the way from the Siletz to Yaquina, with “bonus fishing days” announced for many river mouths. Most boats this week averaged 3-6 coho apiece with plenty of wild fish released, but keepers are there if you stay persistent. Chinook numbers have trimmed a bit but folks trolling cut-plug herring or anchovy deep near the jaws are still picking up solid 10–20 pound kings. Bottom fishing is wide open. Lingcod, black rockfish, and the occasional cabezon make up the bulk of stringers. The best reports are coming in from off Depoe Bay reefs and the rock piles outside Pacific City. Shrimp flies tipped with squid, paddle-tail grubs, and sand worms have been hot, especially during the outgoing tide. Crabbing is in shoulder season, so while the big commercial pots aren’t out yet, recreational crabbers are picking up keepers from Coos to Tillamook with chicken backs and turkey legs in their pots. Surf perch numbers are building, especially around Cape Lookout and Sunset Beach. Sand shrimp and Gulp! camo sandworms were the baits of choice yesterday, with several limits reported in the suds by 11am. Sinker sliders and small circle hooks are the local setup. If you’re looking for hotspots: Hit the mouth of the Siuslaw for coho early, as that tide swing usually brings the fresh fish in. For bottom fish, the South Reef off Newport and the rocky outcrops west of Cape Kiwanda are producing big numbers and a few legal lings. Pacific City’s Three Capes area remains one of the highest-yield zones for mixed-bag bottomfish and surf perch, and early morning sessions are best with the falling tide. Best lures and bait: For salmon, cut-plug herring and anchovy trolled behind Pro-Troll flashers are consistently producing bites.

Expect seas around 5-6 feet with some mixed northwest swells. A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect from Cape Falcon to Florence through this evening. **Tides** We're looking at decent tidal movement today. Coos Bay shows a morning low around 6 AM, followed by high tide at 12:30 PM, then an evening low at 6:23 PM. These tide changes should trigger good fish activity, especially during the transitions. **Recent Fishing Action** The Chetco River mouth has been producing salmon before this week's rain hit. Bottomfish action has been steady despite the more restrictive bag limits on black rockfish and canary rockfish due to recent stock assessments. Ling cod limits are being reported by several charter operations. **Lures and Bait** For nearshore bottomfish, try heavy jigs in white or chartreuse, especially around rocky structure. Lead head jigs with plastic tails work well for rockfish. For salmon, stick with herring, sardines, or spinners in silver and blue combinations. **Hot Spots** The Newport area near Hatfield Marine Science Center has been consistent for bottomfish. South at Brookings, the port area and nearby reefs are producing both salmon and rockfish when conditions allow.

Low clouds and fog opened the morning along most of the nearshore, with a northwest wind forecast to freshen through the late morning—so keep an eye on sea conditions if you’re running a dory or smaller craft. A weak front is moving through, but there’s still plenty of fishable windows before the wind pushes up by afternoon. Sunrise this morning was 7:22 AM, with sunset coming at 6:50 PM. That’s plenty of daylight for those hungry rockfish and salmon making their fall push. For tides, around Coos Bay and most central coast ports, your morning low fell just after 6:40 AM at 0.3 feet, with a healthy high rolling in near 1:00 PM right at 7.2 feet. With afternoon swaps from high to ebb tide, bottom fishing and crabbing should turn on from that midday peak all the way to dusk, especially on outgoing flows, when bait gets flushed and fish feed most aggressively, according to Tide-Forecast.com. Now for what’s biting: salmon fishing picked up around the mouth of the Chetco and into nearshore Pacific waters right before this week’s rain according to Oregon Fish Reports. Fresh fish are pushing into bays, and trollers working the seams with natural baits—anchovy or herring—have found success, though the bite can run hot-and-cold. Early fish have also been taken around the deeper holes inside Tillamook and Nehalem Bays as those Chinook climb the ladder for the fall run. Pacific City Fishing shared that dory trips this week found the action good and steady, with plenty of mixed-bag rockfish, a handful of keeper lingcod, and limits of Dungeness crab in the pots. Halibut season’s winding down, but a few flat ones are still being plucked just off the reefs in 200-300 feet of water on large herring, salmon belly, or glowing swim baits—like those Hyper Glow or Gulp Sandworms tipped with a sweetener. Berkley Gulp Alive Sandworms and PowerBait swim baits in natural and glow colors, sized 5–6 inches, are consistently taking bottom fish for both charters and kayakers alike. For tuna, things are quieting down, but persistent crews making the 30-40 mile runs off Charleston are still running into scattered albacore in breaks where water pokes up over 59°F. Typical spread includes cedar plugs and colored jets, but when they’re finicky, swap to smaller chrome divers and soft plastics. Best baits right now remain fresh anchovy, herring, and sand shrimp at river mouths and inside the bays. Offshore, large curly-tail grubs and glow swim baits work for lings and big black rockfish—Seafood News notes new 2025 regs are tightening up tuna reporting, but recreational remains mostly unchanged.

Let’s kick it off with the **tide and weather**. Along much of the central coast, we’re coming off a patchy fog morning with a mild sou’wester drifting in, temps starting in the mid-50s and climbing into the low 60s by afternoon. Sunrise hit at 7:25AM and sunset will be at 6:41PM, giving you an honest twelve hours of daylight to chase your quarry. The ocean is sitting light chop—nothing that’ll keep you off the water but slick enough for kayak or skiff work. Coos Bay today will see a high tide at 4:42AM, followed by a fairly gentle outgoing ebb, and the next high at 4:01PM should push some bait back into estuary pockets. Low tide is just before 10AM—classic transition for bottomfish and surf species. The **fall run is winding up for salmon**, with coho still trickling through along the nearshore and upriver reaches. According to ODWF, anglers in the lower Deschutes (and further north out of Depoe Bay and Newport) are reporting persistent hookups on both Chinook and silver, mostly on bright mornings. Most catches are on the troll, with spinners like the Silver Horde or Brad’s Super Bait Cut Plug working best, especially tipped with herring or anchovy. Jigging under early fog banks is picking up fish too. Remember, Coos Basin anglers can keep up to three salmon in aggregate—one can be a wild coho through October 10. The bite’s best around first light and slack tide. Rockfish action is wide open statewide. As of September 18, groundfish fishing is now allowed at all depths through the end of the year. Lingcod, black rockfish, cabezon, and greenlings are coming up in good numbers, especially off the jetties and reefs near Charleston and Port Orford. NOAA Fisheries reports new data showing stronger-than-expected stocks for several rockfish species. Best bets remain on soft plastics with twister tails, swimbaits, or metal jigs fished low and slow, especially on the outgoing tide. For deeper marks, drop sardine or squid chunks. Vermilion and sunset rockfish are showing up in the mixed bags; remember, descending devices are required if you’re bottom fishing from a boat—don’t leave the dock without one. Canary rockfish are two per angler statewide, everything else is by the book. Halibut anglers—Pacific halibut quota is still available on the Central Coast at all depths. Newport and Depoe Bay saw mixed success with catch rates from one fish for every two anglers. Best rig is a big herring on a spreader, fished deep as the afternoon tide comes up against the banks. For surf and bay action, look to species like surf perch, kelp greenling, and the occasional striped bass. The bite on sand crabs and Gulp! camo sandworms in the swash is picking up, especially in the early morning hours around low tide near South Jetty, and just inside the mouths of Alsea and Siletz bays.

Hot spots This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 278 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI2564009498 Good morning from the Oregon Coast, this is Artificial Lure with your Wednesday, October 1st Pacific Ocean fishing report. It’s crisp and clear today up and down the coastline, a real textbook fall morning. Sunrise in Coos Bay was at 7:14 and you’ll have light until sunset at 6:57 this evening, so there’s a good window for anglers looking to make a full day of it. Tides are working in your favor for nearshore action. Out of Coos Bay, expect a low tide at 3:31 AM, high at 10:48 AM, then another low at 3:32 PM before high tide returns at 9:14 PM, according to tide-forecast.com. The morning incoming push should line up nicely with that post-sunrise bite. Weather is looking prime. Coastal winds are calm this morning with only a light breeze expected by midday. Water is holding that signature green from recent reports, and visibility is decent—ideal for targeting both bottom dwellers and those running just off the structure. Let’s talk fish activity. Offshore, Winchester Bay and broader stretches all the way up to Tillamook Head are on fire for rockfish and lingcod. Anglers getting out early with SOA Charters have been boating limits of black rockfish and solid lingcod using a mix of bottom fishing and vertical jigging. Combination charters are stacking up the mixed bags: grayling, chum salmon, coho, even the rare blackfin tuna has made an appearance on the decks this week. Crabbing is picking up—traps are pulling in enough keepers to make most crab lovers smile, especially as ocean conditions steady out. Hot spots this week? The reefs just offshore from Charleston are holding thick schools of black and blue rockfish. For the surfcasters and jetty regulars, the south jetty at Newport and the fingers around Depoe Bay have been productive, especially close to high slack tide. If you’re after salmon, it’s mostly a coho and late chinook game now, with the preferred method still being trolling herring or anchovy behind a flasher near the mouth of most major bays. In the estuaries, striper fishing in the Umpqua is ticking up as fish move downstream—swimbaits in white or chartreuse are getting hit. Lure and bait advice? For the bottom fish, you can’t go wrong with a 4-6 ounce leadhead jig tipped with curly tail or large paddle tail plastics in motor oil, white, or rootbeer. Metal jigs like P-Line Laser Minnows and Lingcod Jigs are also producing. Rockfish can’t resist shrimp flies in red/white or chartreuse, while lingcod are taking larger soft plastics or even whole herring on the drift. Salmon are still keyed in on brined anchovy or cut plug herring behind a flasher—green or chartreuse flashers have been top producers. If you’ve got a taste for shellfish, the big news is that razor clamming opens today on Clatsop beaches. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife reports numbers of young razor clams are higher than average, though most are still on the smaller side.

Out of Coos Bay, expect a low tide at 3:31 AM, high at 10:48 AM, then another low at 3:32 PM before high tide returns at 9:14 PM, according to tide-forecast.com. The morning incoming push should line up nicely with that post-sunrise bite. Weather is looking prime. Coastal winds are calm this morning with only a light breeze expected by midday. Water is holding that signature green from recent reports, and visibility is decent—ideal for targeting both bottom dwellers and those running just off the structure. Let’s talk fish activity. Offshore, Winchester Bay and broader stretches all the way up to Tillamook Head are on fire for rockfish and lingcod. Anglers getting out early with SOA Charters have been boating limits of black rockfish and solid lingcod using a mix of bottom fishing and vertical jigging. Combination charters are stacking up the mixed bags: grayling, chum salmon, coho, even the rare blackfin tuna has made an appearance on the decks this week. Crabbing is picking up—traps are pulling in enough keepers to make most crab lovers smile, especially as ocean conditions steady out. Hot spots this week? The reefs just offshore from Charleston are holding thick schools of black and blue rockfish. For the surfcasters and jetty regulars, the south jetty at Newport and the fingers around Depoe Bay have been productive, especially close to high slack tide. If you’re after salmon, it’s mostly a coho and late chinook game now, with the preferred method still being trolling herring or anchovy behind a flasher near the mouth of most major bays. In the estuaries, striper fishing in the Umpqua is ticking up as fish move downstream—swimbaits in white or chartreuse are getting hit. Lure and bait advice? For the bottom fish, you can’t go wrong with a 4-6 ounce leadhead jig tipped with curly tail or large paddle tail plastics in motor oil, white, or rootbeer. Metal jigs like P-Line Laser Minnows and Lingcod Jigs are also producing. Rockfish can’t resist shrimp flies in red/white or chartreuse, while lingcod are taking larger soft plastics or even whole herring on the drift. Salmon are still keyed in on brined anchovy or cut plug herring behind a flasher—green or chartreuse flashers have been top producers. If you’ve got a taste for shellfish, the big news is that razor clamming opens today on Clatsop beaches. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife reports numbers of young razor clams are higher than average, though most are still on the smaller side.

Sunrise hit at 7:09 this morning, with sunset coming up at 7:02 tonight. Anglers headed out early got to take advantage of a mild high tide around 6:18 AM at Pacific City, peaking at 5.2 feet, followed by the low dropping close to midday. Water clarity improved after a brisk round of late-summer storms, and the wind has been light enough for comfort, but rough ocean conditions over the past couple days meant most folks targeted protected spots or waited for windows, according to Dockside Charters out of Depoe Bay. Lingcod are the hot ticket—Dockside Charters just kicked off their new live bait Ling trips, and the boats have been stacking up quality keepers using sanddab for bait. Sanddabs are easy to jig up on the bottom, with three at a time not unusual, and they’re pure candy to big lings. Live bait’s been almost unbeatable, but those working jigs have had luck with large white swimbaits or chartreuse curly-tails bounced close to rocky structure. Remember that the Lingcod bag limit dropped to 2 per angler, minimum size 22 inches, just this past week. Rockfish bite has been fair; blues and blacks are always on tap, with an occasional canary sneaking into the bags—still, only one canary allowed as your sub-bag. Cabezon remains closed until July 1. Flatfish, especially sand sole and starry flounder, remain plentiful offshore, with a 25-fish bag limit keeping things interesting for bottom bouncers. Halibut season is closed—both inshore and offshore quotas have wrapped until 2026, so keep to groundfish and salmon. Word from the local docks is that salmon fishing has been up and down. Most success came at first light, with coho outnumbering chinook, and best bites right at the tide switch. Anchovies or herring trolled behind short flashers got the nod, with hoochies in pink or purple landing bonus strikes. Spinners in chartreuse or copper are another local favorite. This time of year, surf and jetty fishing can light up with incoming tides. Kelp greenling, striped perch, and even the occasional late-run searun cutthroat can be found near rocky outcroppings. Berley up with shrimp bits or clam necks, tossed toward the rocks, and keep a stout leader rigged. Top lures remain smaller swimbaits, 1 to 2 ounces, in motor oil or root beer color. Fly anglers working estuaries like Nestucca Bay have reported solid cutthroat trout action using soft hackle nymphs and olive woolly buggers. October caddis are starting to show, so bigger orange dries could start drawing topwater eats soon—look for that bite to pick up as nights get cooler. For the best current action, two hotspots stand out: - **Depoe Bay reefs:** Just off the heads are proven for both lings and big black rockfish. Hit the slack before the tide turns for your best chance to avoid the current and work close to structure. - **Nestucca Spit and the river mouth:** Early-morning tides have been seeing coho m This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let’s get right into the action and talk conditions, hot bites, and where the fish are chewing. Sun rose at 6:41 AM, with sunset coming at 6:39 PM, bookending a solid day for working the nearshore and offshore reefs. The weather offshore is on the rougher side: today we’ve got northwest winds 5 to 10 knots, with seas building to 9 or even 10 feet in the afternoon according to the National Weather Service Marine Forecast. These are sporty conditions, so smaller boats should use caution or stay tucked inside the bays. Tides out of Oceanside will see a high at 1:29 AM, a low at 4:55 AM, another big high at 12:00 noon (6.09 feet), and a low again at 8:17 PM. The morning outgoing is prime for rockfish and lingcod biting hard on the reefs, especially as that churn stirs up bait and gets the fish aggressive. Let’s talk catches. Just yesterday, Dockside Charters in Depoe Bay reported an excellent run on their new live bait big Lingcod trips—boats have been loading up on sanddabs in the sandy bottoms, then using those lively “ling candy” to pull some real brutes off the structure. Keep in mind, the daily bag for lingcod is now 2 fish per angler, minimum 22 inches, down from 3 after new regs hit on September 18. Yelloweye and quillback rockfish are strictly off-limits, and canary rockfish are a 1-fish sub-bag; check ODFW regs if you have a mixed bag. Rockfish action has been consistently solid in 60 to 120 feet, particularly during the slacker portions of the tide. Anglers are reporting limits of black, blue, and canary rockfish, with the odd cabezon in the mix (note, cabezon season is closed, so release those carefully). Flatfish are wide open—there’s a whopping 25-fish bag on these, and sanddab and sole are thick over sandy bottoms outside the main reef areas. Halibut season wrapped up August 31, so all halibut must be released if caught. Bait and tackle has made the difference. On the offshore scene, nothing beats live sanddab for lingcod. For artificials, a big white curlytail grub like the Z-Man GrubZ or a chartreuse swimbait pinned to a 6-8 oz leadhead puts up numbers, especially if you tip it with a strip of squid for scent. Discount Tackle reviews say the action and durability of these baits keep fish hanging on, and a Ned rigged TRD CrawZ can crush bottom structure for both bass and big rockfish. For surf rigs, natural baits like sand crabs and shrimp on Owner Twistlock hooks have been deadly for perch and croaker. Hot spots today: - Depoe Bay reefs are producing quality lingcod—focus near South Reef and Flat Rock. - The stretch from Cape Foulweather to Cape Lookout continues to mark big rockfish schools. - For those surf fishing, the beaches around Pacific City at low tide are putting out good numbers of redtail surfperch.

If you’re hitting the coast today, you’re in luck—conditions are shaping up nicely, and there’s plenty happening both inshore and offshore to keep your reels spinning. **Let’s talk tides and times:** For Oceanside and much of the north-central coast, you had a high tide roll in at 12:20 a.m., and now you’re looking at a low around 4:58 a.m. Another big high swells in at 11:31 a.m., peaking at 6.3 feet, with the next low tide due at 7:01 p.m. The sunrise hit at 6:40 a.m. sharp and you’ll get daylight until sunset at 6:40 p.m. According to Tide-Forecast.com, the moonrise follows at 11:15 a.m., which should help fire up fishing in the late morning and afternoon windows. **Weatherwise**, the Oregon coast is as classic as ever this fall—expect morning fog burning off to partly cloudy skies, cool crisp air, and light northwest winds. Layer up early, and keep a rain shell handy for those surprise mist bursts. **Fish activity and what’s biting:** This week, the Pacific has really started showing off, especially since the big NOAA announcement on September 18. Anglers can now target the RCG Complex—rockfish, cabezon, greenlings—and lingcod at all depths through December. The bottomfish scene is wide open. Most charter captains out of Depoe Bay and Newport report consistent action on black and canary rockfish (just remember you’re limited to two canaries per angler), plus solid lingcod, some over 20 lbs. According to Fishing the North Coast, combo trips are already seeing nice hauls. The hot mix right now: limits of black rockfish, a few meaty vermilion and sunset rockfish, lingcod, and the bonus cabezon. Halibut are still in play for lucky deep droppers, but the real bounty has been on quality rockfish and lings. **Salmon news:** Salmon are staging up in the tidewaters, waiting for the next round of rain to spur river runs. Until flows pick up, best bet for Chinook and coho is trolling near river mouths early in the morning using anchovies or cut plug herring behind flashers. **Best lures and baits:** For rockfish and lingcod, heavy leadhead jigs and swimbaits in rootbeer or motor oil colors are tough to beat. Metal spoons bounced over reefs also continue to produce. A few anglers are finding success on the Z-Man GrubZ plastics paired with big Ned hooks. For live bait, herring and sand shrimp are favorites—especially for lingcod and cabbies—with Gulp sandworm strips standing out for surfperch. Strike King XD crankbaits are drawing bass strikes in bays and near submerged logs. **Hot spots you don’t want to miss:** - **Newport’s South Jetty:** Loaded with cabezon, greenling, and black rockfish, especially around the kelp. - **Depoe Bay near Boiler Bay:** Deep reefs are producing fast limits of rockfish and big lingcod. - **Tillamook Bay entrance:** Trolling for salmon at daylight has put some bright Chinook and coho in the box, particularly around the This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First, your key details for planning: today’s sunrise was at 7:06 a.m. and sunset will be at 7:07 p.m. According to Tides4Fishing, the morning low hit at 3:02 a.m. (5.8 ft), followed by a mid-morning low at 9:03 a.m. (1.6 ft). The afternoon high tide pushes in strong at 2:46 p.m. (6.7 ft), followed by a mild evening low at 9:46 p.m. (0.3 ft). Plan your sessions around that afternoon push for the best shot—especially inside the bays and river mouths. Morning conditions saw a steady north wind building to 15-20 knots, small craft advisories posted, and seas rolling at 6 to 7 feet per the National Weather Service. That means keep your wits about you if you’re headed out, especially in smaller craft or at the jetties. Fishing action around Pacific City, Tillamook Bay and down through Depoe Bay has lit up this week. Oregon Fish Reports noted “awesome variety” on Monday—as good a green light as you’ll get for a late-September trip. Fall Chinook and coho are moving in thick, particularly in the estuaries. The Chetco in southern Oregon saw a hot estuary Chinook bite last week, and similar numbers are rolling in locally. On the bottom, it continues to be prime time for rockfish and lingcod, with some good-sized blacks, canaries, and even a few cabezon still in play near the reefs. Best lures and baits for today: For salmon, go with spinners in chartreuse or metallic finishes, and plug-cut herring if you’re trolling. Anglers working the jaws at Tillamook have done well with brined anchovies, especially on a sliding mooching rig, while those off Pacific City report success with 3–4 inch silver spoons. Coho seem hottest on smaller, flashier gear this week, and the early morning ebb is still pulling stray steelhead—think small drift baits in natural colors. Bottom dwellers are active as those bigger tides roll in. Bring heavy lead and jigs like curly-tail grubs in white or root beer. If you’re targeting lingcod or rockfish near structure, herring or octopus-tipped jigs are a ticket, and don’t forget a few sand shrimp or squid strips—especially with this tidal swing. Crabbing is still productive in the bays, with traps pulling in healthy Dungeness. Try chicken or fish carcasses for bait—the fresher the better. With clearer water, try dropping pots on the ebb, especially before that afternoon high. For hotspots, focus on: - Tillamook Bay entrance and adjacent jetties: strong salmon and bottomfish action, especially near high tide. - Pacific City’s dory boat launch: boats hitting mixed limits of coho, Chinook, and rockfish. - Depoe Bay reefs: reliable for lingcod and bigger black rockfish, especially on bigger tidal push. Word from Northwest Sportsman Magazine echoes that the fall salmon run is delivering, and with low rain, fish are still staging in the estuaries.

Sunrise today is at 6:53 am and sunset rolls in at 7:27 pm, so you’ve got lots of daylight to work with for those morning and evening bites. The tides at Nestucca Bay entrance kick off with a high at 7:25 am topping out at 5.41 ft, a midday low at 12:12 pm dipping to 3.26 ft, before another high at 6:08 pm cresting at 7.61 ft. This means early risers can launch into smooth water and prime feeding windows, especially around those transitions. Weather offshore’s fair for late September—expect north winds 15–20 knots in the morning shifting northwest, and seas running 7–8 feet according to the National Weather Service. Not as glassy as August, so plan for a rolly ride and keep gear stowed. Fish activity’s picking up with fall rolling in. Coastal reports and recent podcasts note a “bottomfish bonanza”—lingcod, black rockfish, and cabezon are stacking up on rough reef and rocky ledges, fattening up before the water chills further. Tuna chasers heading 30–40 miles offshore are still picking off albacore on temperature breaks, with the outside chance of a surprise pacific marlin already noted earlier this month—rare, but always worth an extra battery in the GoPro. Sportfishing Report tallied solid numbers midweek, especially off Garibaldi and Depoe Bay: most charter boats are limiting out early on rockfish, with lingcod mixed in up to 18 pounds. Ocean Coho are tailing off, but a few big silvers are still sneaking into gear on the troll. Best lures for the bottom crew are 6–8 oz. lead-head jigs with UV skirts—pink and chartreuse work well for visibility in deep Kelvin green water. If in shallower kelp beds, crankbaits in sardine or mackerel patterns, and classic diamond bars for ling. Tuna anglers are getting it done on cedar plugs and clones, but don’t leave the dock without a handful of Yamashita squid jigs if you run into bait balls. For bait, sand shrimp and herring strips for rockfish and lingcod rarely fail, especially if you add scent. Hot spots this weekend: - **Tillamook Head**: Look for rockfish and lingcod stacking tight in 80-140 feet near boulder clusters. - **Siletz Reef**: Albacore and big blue rockfish have been cruising the upper water column, especially around noon when the current slackens. - **Depoe Bay outer reefs**: Early-morning casts with spinner rigs are pulling solid sea bass and the occasional keeper halibut. Don’t forget local rules—some launches are running modified inspections thanks to golden mussel protocols, so check ahead. Stocking trout is winding down, but Pine Nursery near Bend just received 300 legals if you’re heading inland. That wraps up today’s report along our wild northern Pacific.

Best lures for the bottom crew are 6–8 oz. lead-head jigs with UV skirts—pink and chartreuse work well for visibility in deep Kelvin green water. If in shallower kelp beds, crankbaits in sardine or mackerel patterns, and classic diamond bars for ling. Tuna anglers are getting it done on cedar plugs and clones, but don’t leave the dock without a handful of Yamashita squid jigs if you run into bait balls. For bait, sand shrimp and herring strips for rockfish and lingcod rarely fail, especially if you add scent. Hot spots this weekend: - **Tillamook Head**: Look for rockfish and lingcod stacking tight in 80-140 feet near boulder clusters. - **Siletz Reef**: Albacore and big blue rockfish have been cruising the upper water column, especially around noon when the current slackens. - **Depoe Bay outer reefs**: Early-morning casts with spinner rigs are pulling solid sea bass and the occasional keeper halibut. Don’t forget local rules—some launches are running modified inspections thanks to golden mussel protocols, so check ahead. Stocking trout is winding down, but Pine Nursery near Bend just received 300 legals if you’re heading inland. That wraps up today’s report along our wild northern Pacific.

The morning started off crisp along the coast, with the sunrise lighting up the water at 6:26 AM and sunset set for 7:09 PM. Skies are partly cloudy, calm ocean conditions, and temps ranging from the mid-50s pre-dawn to the upper 60s by afternoon according to NOAA coastal forecasts. The tide near Pacific City and Oceanside rolled in with a near-zero low at 6:01 AM, climbing slowly through the morning. That means a classic incoming tide bites window for much of the day, peaking closer to noon, and that should keep baitfish active and gamefish cruising structure and the surfline. These gentle early fall tides are perfect for casting, trolling, or soaking bait while the water stirs up feeding activity. Salmon is the star this week in Oregon’s marine zone. The Chetco River estuary has seen improved action, with both hatchery and wild Chinook and coho showing up strong, especially on the second half of the incoming tide. Andy Martin from Wild Rivers Fishing reports most fish are caught tight to the jetties using anchovies behind 360 flashers. He says heavy boat traffic but steady catches, so come early for prime spots. Daily bag limit is two adult salmon, no more than one adult wild Chinook, with hatchery coho also present[Current Fishing Reports]. Columbia River managers announced extra salmon days, reopening areas from Buoy 10 west to the Warrior Rock line for Chinook and hatchery coho retention through Sunday. Bag limit: two adult salmon, only one can be Chinook. Wild coho must be released. Hatchery steelhead remain open in the mainstem downstream of The Dalles Dam through December, so bring light tackle and be ready for a mix of species[Oregon Dept. Fish & Wildlife]. Ocean halibut regs are still open daily for the central and southern subareas, and the Columbia River subarea is open Sundays through Fridays. The catch rates have been low at Garibaldi and Bandon, with some effort but few fish in the box—keep expectations in check and target deeper spots on the outgoing tide for best odds[ODFW Marine Zone]. Bottomfish activity has ticked up on deeper reefs and rocky ledges. Lingcod and rockfish have been hot on standard leadhead jigs tipped with squid or Gulp! grubs. Shrimp flies and flutter spoons in green, white, or rootbeer patterns are the go-to on the party boats. Newport and Depoe Bay have been seeing around 0.75 fish per angler lately, while Charleston and Brookings lag behind with low effort and few fish. Best baits right now: - Anchovies and herring—especially behind flashers for salmon. - Squid strips and Gulp! plastics—for rockfish, lingcod, and halibut. - Cured roe—for river systems and estuaries hunting Chinook. - Shrimp flies—for combos and surf perch. Top artificial lures: - 360 flashers with anchovy helmet rigs for salmon. - Butterfly and flutter jigs for deeper bottom fish. - Chrome or chartreuse spoons for surf and jetty work.

First, let’s talk tides. The Nestucca Bay entrance, a solid gauge for the central Oregon coast, shows a morning low tide around 8:00am, with a high pushing in just after 10:00am. That sunrise today was a crisp 7:00am—pink skies over the Pacific—while sunset’s set for 7:27pm, giving you a full twelve hours to get after it. The post-dawn push as the tide rises should be prime for inshore species, especially if you’re looking to target perch or rockfish off the jetties. Weather? This is textbook Oregon fall—overcast mornings with a chance of sea breeze by midday. The water’s cooled off since summer, but we’re still seeing temps in the low 50s, and the salmon seem to like it. Expect swell in the 4–6 foot range, typical for this stretch, but mornings are generally calmer—good for nearshore runs if you’re in a smaller craft. Fish activity’s been solid for late summer. The coho salmon bite has tapered as most of the run has moved upriver, but a few late silvers are still taking spoons and herring near the surf line. Pacific halibut are mostly done for the year, but there’s talk of a few flatties hitting baits on the inside edge of the 40-fathom curve. Rockfish and lingcod are the mainstay right now. According to local chatter and a few dock-side surveys, black rockfish are coming up steady on jigs, and larger lingcod are hitting closer to structure—think boulders and reef edges. Bottomfishing regs are tightening soon—the daily bag drops to a three-fish limit starting Thursday the 18th, and cabezon have a one-fish sub-bag, so get your limits in while you can. For lures, it’s hard to beat a 3–4oz leadhead jig tipped with a curly-tail grub for the kelp beds. For the deeper lingcod holes, a big magnum swimbait or even a live cabezon (where legal) is killer. If you want to keep it simple, a chunk of herring or squid on a spreader bar never fails—just keep your hooks sharp. If you’re casting from shore, 3-inch Gulp! Sandworms in camo or motor oil are slaying the surfperch, especially when fished right off the sand on the incoming tide. Live bait is always a strong bet when you can get it. Mackerel, anchovies, and small herring are working for suspended rockfish and the odd late-season salmon. Note: Pacific sardine harvest is restricted right now—you can only use them as live bait in minor directed fisheries or as incidental catch, and even then, there are strict per-landing limits in place, per NOAA Fisheries’ most recent regs. Hot spots? If you’re launching from Pacific City, hit the reef just south of the Cape Kiwanda rock—always holds rockfish and the occasional ling. For jigging action, try the edges of the Nestucca River mouth on a rising tide—perch stacked up there, and they’ll hit small plastics and shrimp flies.

Sunrise hit at 6:53 a.m. with sunset tonight at 7:27 p.m.—we’re in for prime daylight hours and a warming trend through the afternoon. Skies are partly cloudy, light northwest wind picking up by midday, and we’re heading toward a high tide of 5.4 feet right at 7:25 a.m. in most coastal bays. The next big push is up to 7.6 feet at 6:08 p.m. according to Tide-Forecast. That means you’ve got productive moving water both early morning and supper time. Let’s get into the fishing. Out of Depoe Bay and up and down the North Coast, bottom fishing continues to be on fire. Dockside Charters out of Depoe Bay reports limits or near-limits on rockfish this week—vermillion, copper, yellowtail and some solid canaries all made their way into the totes. Lingcod numbers haven’t disappointed either, with a mix of shorts and some real hogs showing up on fillet tables. If you’re hunting Lingcod, bring them up with big metal jigs and swimbaits in root beer or white—bounce them right off the bottom structure. Frozen herring or squid continue to produce, especially on a double-dropper loop. Cabezon remains prohibited until July, so toss those back if you hit one. Canary rockfish are one per angler and yelloweye and quillback are strictly off limits—know your fish. The sea is giving plenty: rockfish bag limit is still four fish per person. Crabbing remains solid—pull up to 6-9 nice Dungeness per pot, especially at the mouths of estuaries like Nestucca and Siletz bays. Check those pots at slack or just after high tide for best luck. Salmon fishing has been slow most mornings, but fish are still being caught daily. Good pushes of coho have moved through the South of Falcon fishery, especially near Garibaldi and Pacific City, with some big ones landed. Try trolling anchovies or hoochies behind a shortbus flasher at 50-70 feet. Expect low numbers, but any bite could be a bruiser. For fall Chinook, river mouths are just starting to show fish, though the real frenzy hasn’t fired off yet. Halibut season wrapped up at the end of August, so focus now turns to flatfish—there’s a generous 25 fish limit if you’re willing to drift sand flats nearshore with small bait rigs. Hottest lures and bait this week: - Swimbaits in white, green, and root beer for lingcod and rockfish - Prawns, squid, and herring strips for bottom fish - Trolling anchovies and hot pink hoochies for salmon Hot spot picks: - The reefs straight west of Pacific City in 120-180 feet for rockfish and lingcod - Mouth of Nestucca Bay, especially the rock piles just inside the bar, for crab and bottomfish - Offshore humps 8–14 miles out for those in search of big, late albacore tuna—rig up swim baits or cedar plugs and troll at 6–7 knots Final tips: Watch for that rising evening tide—predatory fish get more active as water covers new ground. Always check ODFW regs for up-to-date closures and size rules. Thanks for tuning in t This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

It’s another crisp fall morning on the salt, and local reports are pointing to stellar action up and down the shoreline. **Today’s conditions:** Sunrise rolled in at 6:52 AM and you’ve got daylight right up to 7:29 PM. According to Tide-Forecast.com, the tides at Nestucca Bay are cooperating—a 5.7-foot high tide at 5:57 AM, falling to a 2.8-foot low at 11:06 AM, and building back up to a 7.98-foot high at 5:04 PM. That dinner-hour tide swing sets you up for some evening bites on outgoing water. **Weather is classic late summer Oregon—cool and overcast in the morning, with northwest swell calming down into the afternoon. These moderate seas are perfect for small-boat anglers to punch out and try for those deeper dwellers, and safer for crabbing operations as well.** **Fish activity:** Fishingthenorthcoast.com reports the albacore run is still going strong for anyone willing to chase blue water. Offshore, boats loading up with 20–50 tuna per trip—many solid fish running 15 to 20 pounds, with the occasional 30-pound bruiser. Cape Kiwanda and south toward Depoe Bay are producing the best action; focus your search 25–40 miles out if you’ve got the weather window. Back inshore, bottom fishing is the name of the game. Lingcod are feisty and moving shallow, and limits of robust black and blue rockfish are routine for most charter and private trips. According to Tradewinds Charters in Depoe Bay, the current rockfish limit is five per person, plus two lingcod. The best bites are still on jigs or swimbaits tipped with a chunk of herring. **Dungeness crab** is still open through mid-October and remains available coastwide. Newport’s dockside reports a slow start, but Waldport has been fair for both boat and pier crabbers. Best hauls right now are still coming from 90 to 100 feet, baited with fish carcasses or turkey legs for full pots. **Razor clamming** is closed north of Tillamook Head through September 30 for conservation, so focus efforts further south near Agate Beach, Newport, or Cape Meares. With today’s late-morning low tide, plan for an early start if you want to pound the sand—spring and summer weather means better visibility and easier digging, especially when the surf is down. Always check ODA’s hotline for biotoxin updates before you go. **Salmon action** in the estuaries is heating up, particularly in the Chetco and Rogue, with both jacks and early adults being caught on soft beads, chartreuse spinners, and plug-cut herring behind flashers. Most guides recommend fishing the last two hours of the incoming tide. **Hot spots to hit today:** - **Depoe Bay reefs:** Classic for rockfish and lingcod, just outside the harbor mouth. - **Nestucca Reef (Pacific City):** Productive for bottomfish, and close enough to intercept running coho or even a wayward albie pod if the warm water is close. - **Waldport Bay:** For crabbers, it’s This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’ve got an easy start to the day along the coast, with a fresh marine breeze and a forecast calling for calm, fishable seas. Sunrise was at 6:50 AM and we’ll see sunset at 7:33 PM, giving us a solid window for chasing after everything from bottomfish to big ocean salmon. Tidal swings today are moderate—expect low tide at about 9:34 AM and a strong high at 3:29 PM around Nestucca Bay. That afternoon incoming tide should really get the bite going, especially near the mouths and rocky outcrops. The weather has been kind—light winds, reasonable swells, and enough overcast to keep fish on the chew. Early September air temps are hovering in the low 60s this morning and will creep toward the mid-70s, so bring a windbreaker but don’t skip the sunscreen. Rockfish action continues to be as good as it gets. Most boats out of Depoe Bay are still coming close to daily limits. Black rockfish dominate the coolers, along with a fair number of big blue rockfish and a few copper and canary rockfish showing up. Lingcod are getting feisty again too—several are making the minimum length and a few keepers over 30 inches have hit the fillet tables. Just a reminder: yelloweye and quillback rockfish remain off-limits, and the new daily bag limit is four marine fish plus two lingcod, with a sub-bag limit for canary rockfish and now a one-fish cabezon limit as of July 1. Crabbing is still excellent, especially just offshore from Pacific City and Netarts Bay. Seven to nine keepers per person is what most folks at the cleaning tables are bragging about, according to Dockside Charters in Depoe Bay. Salmon fishing had slowed a bit earlier this week, but fresh schools are moving up the line, and boats working out front of Depoe Bay and north toward Pacific City saw a solid uptick yesterday morning. Coho are beginning to stage, and both clipped and wild coho fisheries reopen tomorrow September 13—so today’s your last day for hatchery coho only. Chinook catches have picked up in the estuaries, especially on the last of the outgoing tide and into the flood; troll cut plug herring or chartreuse hoochies behind a flasher for best results. ODFW also confirms that wild Chinook retention is open (ten per angler for the season) but check area rules before launching. Halibut is still open in the central and southern subareas with about half the coastwide quota left. Most folks are finding them in 150-300 feet on herring or large artificial swimbaits fished right above the bottom. Surfperch are hot on the open beaches near Cape Kiwanda and Horsfall. Redtail and striped surfperch are taking sand shrimp, mole crabs, and artificial Gulp sandworms fished close to the bottom during the flooding tide. Top baits and lures right now: - Black and white swim jigs or curly-tail grubs for rockfish. - Large chartreuse or rootbeer-pattern swimbaits for lingcod. - Natural or UV green triangle fl This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Redtail and striped surfperch are taking sand shrimp, mole crabs, and artificial Gulp sandworms fished close to the bottom during the flooding tide. Top baits and lures right now: - Black and white swim jigs or curly-tail grubs for rockfish. - Large chartreuse or rootbeer-pattern swimbaits for lingcod. - Natural or UV green triangle fl This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 249 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI4024258146 Artificial Lure here, coming to you early on Wednesday, September 10th, 2025, with your Pacific Oregon fishing report. The dawn is breaking just after 6:25 a.m., with sunset drifting in about 7:10 p.m. Expect a cool and cloudy start along most of the coast, that soft autumn chill lingering in the salt air—the kind that makes your coffee taste twice as good launching at daylight. Today's **tide pattern** is classic for fall action: low tide will bottom out around 4:57 a.m. at just under 2 feet, then build to a mid-morning high at 11:17 a.m. peaking at 6 feet. That incoming flood is prime for surf perch, jetty rockfish, and crabbing along the bays. Bottom fishing remains *red hot* this week. Dockside Charters is reporting easy limits for nearly everyone, with robust catches of **black rockfish, canary, and yellowtail rockfish**. Lingcod have picked up in numbers—seems they're moving shallow again, with some nice keepers on swimbaits and jigs. Crabbing continues stellar, with Dungeness pots coming up heavy, especially on that last of the incoming tide. The offshore story is dominated by **tuna fever:** 51 nice-sized albacore landed earlier this week out of Newport and Depoe Bay. Trollers running cedar plugs and tuna clones are pulling doubles and triples. Birds are working hard—watch for boils and cast jigs fast if you’re trailing the fleet. **Best Baits and Lures?** - For bottom fish: soft plastics on leadheads and curly-tail grubs in green and rootbeer remain top, but fresh herring on dropper rigs is working well. Lingcod favor larger swimbaits (white or blue). - Tuna: favorite clones, cedar plugs, and anything that slices through chop. Keep a fast crank—those albie blitzes are short-lived. - Jetty/Surf: Gulp! Sandworms and shrimp, especially during the push toward the 11 a.m. high tide. - Crabbing: chicken legs and fish carcasses in rings or pots, dropped as tide starts flooding. **Recent Catch Recap:** Limits are norm, especially for rockfish and crab. Several boats have landed five or more lings per trip. Salmon remains spotty; the non-selective opener last week saw fair action, but bright coho and chinooks are scattered—focus near Siletz Bay or along the mouth of the Rogue for best prospects. **Hot Spots:** - **Yaquina Bay South Jetty**: Loaded with rockfish, prime for crabbing on the incoming tide—easy access and lots of structure. - **Depoe Bay reefs**: Lingcod and bottomfish are close and hungry. Drift jigs inside the reef lines, particularly on a moving tide. - **Pacific City Sand Spit**: Good surf perch activity, especially at dawn and dusk, with a chance at a bonus salmon pushing in close. - **Garibaldi outer rocks**: For experienced boaters, the deeper boulders hold late-summer lings, and always a crab bonus in the shallows.

Weather this morning is classic late summer on the coast—chilly in the low 50s, skies mostly clear but expect the breeze to stiffen by midday. According to Tide-Forecast.com, sunrise hit at 6:47 AM and sunset won’t roll around until 7:40 PM, giving you over twelve solid hours to work the water. Today’s tide chart for Coos Bay shows a high at 1:23 AM, bottoming out on a minus tide at 7:58 AM, then climbing for the afternoon high at 2:21 PM, so you’ll want to coordinate your launch and bar crossings accordingly. In terms of marine conditions, keep an eye on wind and surf as a Small Craft Advisory is in effect until 10 pm, and seas are running 4-7 feet with gusts topping 20 knots—stay safe and don’t push it if you’re not experienced in rougher water, as reported by Tides.net and the National Weather Service. Fish activity is picking up as the water cools. With nights longer and weather turning, coho salmon numbers are still rolling in and Chinook runs, while trailing off the peak, are punching through in decent spurts. Oregon Fish Reports notes charter and sport boats are returning with good counts of coho and some respectable king salmon, especially out of Garibaldi and Newport, and NorCal Fish Reports adds that up north the king bite is still consistent with fish in the 20- to 25-pound range up and down the coast. Offshore, the albacore tuna chase is still on for those making the 30-50 mile runs, though the most reliable action remains closer in with bottomfish—rockfish and lingcod are packing the tables this week. The reefs and nearshore rocky spots from Pacific City down through Brookings are lighting up, with plenty of fat black rockfish and several nice lings reported by the guys at Oregon Fish Reports. Bait and tackle choice for today? Green-label herring is always a winner for both salmon and bottomfish—local shops have stocked up according to posts on ifish.net. But don’t overlook trolling anchovy spinners for coho or chartreuse hoochies rigged behind an 11-inch flasher, especially on the morning bite. For rockfish, heavy metal jigs in 4-8 ounces, natural color swimbaits, and shrimp flies rigged two-up are putting fish in the box. For lingcod, try big curly-tail plastics or a jig tipped with herring or octopus—bring extra gear as snags are common on those reefs. A couple of local hotspots: - The South Jetty at Newport has been a steady producer for coho and the occasional Chinook, especially on the turn of the tide. - For bottomfish and big lingcod, the reefs off Depoe Bay and the outer Sisters Rocks near Gold Beach are top picks right now. - Those chasing albacore are running straight west out of Garibaldi and Charleston, but keep an ear on the VHF for tuna tips—sometimes just a couple miles make all the difference.

The first hints of cooler air have crept in this week and there’s just a touch more chop on the Pacific. Anglers, it’s shaping up to be a textbook weekend for casting lines and chasing tail. Let’s start with **the tide**. According to NOAA’s tide predictions, Pacific City and much of the north-central Oregon coast saw a low tide early this morning at around -0.3 feet just before 6:40 AM, with the high tide swinging in at 1:45 PM and cresting around 5.6 feet. The pattern is classic for late summer, so if you’re looking to work the nearshore rocks or estuaries, plan your casts as the tide swells this afternoon. This will push baitfish in and get things lively for the big predators. **Weather-wise**, it’s a crisp, clear start with that classic late-season ocean haze burning off shortly after sunrise—officially 6:39 AM today, with sunset expected at 7:41 PM. Light westerlies will keep offshore runs doable for smaller craft, and the lack of serious rain or wind means the surf and jetties are approachable for all. **Fish activity** is ramping back up as water temps take their late-season dip and the first of the Pacific storms remain just over the horizon. This week, local dory and charter crews out of Pacific City and Garibaldi maxed out on rockfish and lingcod, pulling easy limits before lunch. Dungeness crab action is also strong, especially for those dropping pots just past the breakers—several crews came back loaded, with crabs running large and sweet. Salmon reports are picking up, too, with chinook and coho both staging just offshore. The Pacific Fishery Management Council notes essential fish habitat protections in place, but there’s strong evidence of salmon moving closer in as the month unfolds. **What’s working best?** For **rockfish and lingcod**, nothing’s outperforming the classic setups: dropper loop rigs with fresh herring, and big swimbaits in white or chartreuse fished over reefs and structure. Jigs like the Z-Man or SPRO work wonders when bounced over rocky bottoms. For salmon, trolled cut-plug herring or anchovy behind a dodger is the ticket. If you’re running spoons, the Silver Horde Coho Killer has been picking them off early. **Top baits** this week for surf perch and jetty action are sand shrimp and Gulp! camo sandworms. Don’t be afraid to throw a casting spoon like a Kastmaster or metal jig into the surf for perch and the occasional striper. **Best hotspots**: - **Haystack Rock out of Pacific City**: still the go-to for easy dory launches, fast action on rockfish and lingcod, and some surprise chinook mixed in. The reef edges here are lit up on both tides today. - **Tillamook Bay jetties**: salmon are starting to stack near the mouth, and crabbing is excellent—drop pots from your boat or right off the rocks if you’re footing it.

Sunrise rolled in at 6:42 a.m. today, with sunset expected at 7:41 p.m. The weather’s starting off cool and misty but should clear up nicely by late morning, making for pleasant, mid-60s conditions with a gentle NW breeze—perfect for a day on the briny. Tidal movement is prime for early action: Pacific City saw its low tide hit at 6:05 a.m. at -0.2 feet, with the high tide peaking at 12:24 p.m. at 6.4 feet. Expect that rising water to get the predators moving through the kelp beds and reefs right up to mid-day according to Surfline’s tide calendar. Fish activity ramped up again after last week’s bumpy seas. Offshore near Newport, charter boats like Rippin Lips II report steady bottom fishing; lingcod and black rockfish remain the bread and butter, with most anglers landing a mix bag—often hitting early limits before noon. Newport averaged about one fish per angler. Garibaldi’s numbers are slightly lower, around half a fish per rod, thanks to less halibut effort and rough surf, while farther south, Charleston and Brookings saw minimal dockside catches this week, mostly due to residual swells after last weekend’s stormy blow according to both ODFW and OregonFishReports. Rockfish are biting well around submerged structure. Black, blue, and deacon rockfish make up most of the catches, with occasional cabezon and lingcod. Remember, the marine species bag limit is back to four, with strict sub-limits for cabezon and canary rockfish, and no retaining quillback or yelloweye. Halibut season is in full swing on the central and southern coast subareas, open daily at all depths. The Columbia River subarea’s halibut is open Sundays through Fridays. Bring stout gear and patience—successful drops are happening anywhere from 250–600 feet. If you’re hunting crab, traps are coming up heavy again; crews are reporting unusually high numbers, especially north of Newport. There’s a major salmon closure from Humbug Mountain to the California border for the rest of the season—keep an eye on ODFW for any changes, but for now, focus on other species. Bait and lure choice is critical. For bottomfish, soft plastics and curly-tail grubs—think white or chartreuse—paired with heavy leadhead jigs are outperforming bait rigs, and anchovy-tipped hooks are ideal if you’re deep-dropping for lingcod and halibut. Brands like Z-Man, Strike King, and Northland are getting the nod from local shops, especially when worked slowly near the bottom or bounced through rocky reefs. If crabbing, raw chicken or fish scraps in your pots will fill ‘em fast right now. Hot spots to hit today: • The rocky reefs out from Depoe Bay (early limits, less boat pressure). • The North Jetty at Newport for shore-bound action—rockfish and greenling are biting well on fresh bait or Gulp! artificial sandworms.

The morning brought a slight overcast with patchy fog that burned off by midday, making for mild temps right around 62° and light northwest winds. Seas have held steady at 4-5 feet, perfect for small boaters or launching a dory. According to the Ocean Prediction Center, winds should stay under 15 knots most of the day, only tickling up a bit late afternoon—ideal for both inshore and offshore runs. Tidal swings today are moderate, with Newport’s first low tide rolling in at 3:17am, high tide at 10:38am, a second low about 4:30pm, and sunset right at 7:40pm. Early risers were rewarded with a pastel sunrise at 6:43am—prime time for throwing topwaters before that first high slack. The bite this week has been red hot for bottomfish. Oregon Fish Reports and Pacific City Fishing both report maxed-out limits of black rockfish and lingcod, with some boats also seeing fantastic pots of Dungeness crab. Anglers running out from Garibaldi to Pacific City hit their rockfish numbers quick, many before the wind even started to ruffle the caps. Pacific City’s Dory crews are reporting “limit-style” fishing for bigger lingcod, many over 30 inches, and a great grade of sea bass. Herring and squid remain the top dead baits, but jigs like 4-6 oz coldwater swim baits in motor oil, chartreuse, and white are crushing lings and big blacks. For an artificial, you can’t go wrong with a curly-tail grub, but don’t overlook natural scent: a squid-tipped jig out-fished plain plastic three to one Wednesday morning. Offshore, it’s mainly albacore tuna chasers, but Saturday brought a real unicorn—a verified 160-pound striped marlin landed off Garibaldi, an almost unheard-of catch for these waters as reported by Outdoor Life. No word on repeat action, but it’s proof: anything can happen when that blue water pushes close. The surf has been steady for perch using Gulp sandworms and Carolina rigs, particularly near Beverly Beach and the mouth of the Siletz—two hotspots that should fish well this evening as the tide floods. Bank anglers working jetty holes at the Yaquina and Siuslaw have picked up a few late-summer Chinook, mostly on spinners and plug-cut herring fished deep. If crabbing is your game, pots dropped near the mouths of Alsea and Netarts Bays after the morning low have been heavy with clean, hard-shell Dungeness. Chicken backs or fish carcasses will do the trick, just remember to soak those pots at least an hour for the fatties. My top lure list for this week: 4-inch paddle-tail swimbaits (motor oil, white, and root beer), 5-ounce metal jigs (anything with a prism finish), and topwater walkers for the dusk bass bite. Don’t leave home without a dozen fresh-frozen herring and a handful of purple and pink twin-tail grubs if you want variety. If you’re plugging the jetty, bring chartreuse or fire tiger Mag Lips for salmon pushing in on the morning tide. Today’s hotspots?

Today’s weather is classic coastal Oregon—overcast morning skies with a light westerly wind, patchy sun mid-day, and highs near 64 degrees. Light marine fog lingered on some headlands early, but nothing to keep seasoned anglers off the water. Tides are running pretty moderate: this morning’s low hit at 4:41 am at Pacific City at 0.5 feet, swinging up to a high around 1:45 pm at nearly 5.6 feet according to Surfline’s local charts. These are good movement tides, especially for salmon staging outside estuaries and bass foraging close to structure. Fish activity has been hopping along the central and north coast. Buoy 10, just inside the Columbia, saw another thick push of Chinook yesterday, with reports of strong action continuing above the bridge and into upriver holes. Guides like those at Astoria noted “plenty of fish around”—Chinook still present, while coho numbers are climbing, including some fish in the high teens. According to multiple captains, action is steady from the bridge upriver, both on the Oregon and Washington bank. Salmon are biting best on trolled spinners—1.5 to 3.5 Colorado blades in chartreuse/silver or pink/green combos tipped with fresh herring. Short-busers pulling green label herring and Pro-Troll flashers have also hammered bright fish this week. Unseasonably warm offshore currents brought a huge surprise off Garibaldi last weekend: a 160-pound striped marlin was landed, a true rarity for Oregon! That same bluewater push has kept the albacore tuna bite alive for boats making the 30-mile run. Trolling cedar plugs, large swimbaits, and jet feathers in blue/white or pink has been best for tuna. Closer in, the inshore rockfish bite remains solid from Newport’s Yaquina Head north past Cape Meares. Black rockfish, a scattering of lingcod, and the occasional cabezon are filling up coolers. Try casting white paddle-tail plastics or smaller metal jigs on a moderate retrieve near submerged rocks, kelp lines, or breakwalls. On the nearshore reefs, sand shrimp-tipped curly tails get bit all day. Estuaries like the Port of Alsea at Waldport are putting out good numbers of Dungeness crab, and early morning pullers are doing best. Crab rings baited with raw chicken or fish scraps are your best bet before that midday sun gets high. The first waves of fall Chinook are also showing inside the bays, with anglers drifting plug-cut herring 2–3 feet off the bottom seeing the most action, especially at sunrise and tide changes. Two hotspots for this week: - “Buoy 10/Astoria Bridge Line”: For epic salmon action, especially during flood tide.

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 07:27:35 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure with your September 3rd Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report: Sunrise came at 6:42, setting tonight at 7:34, with the ocean wrapped in a mild late-summer light. Today’s weather is classic coastal Oregon—overcast morning skies with a light westerly wind, patchy sun mid-day, and highs near 64 degrees. Light marine fog lingered on some headlands early, but nothing to keep seasoned anglers off the water. Tides are running pretty moderate: this morning’s low hit at 4:41 am at Pacific City at 0.5 feet, swinging up to a high around 1:45 pm at nearly 5.6 feet according to Surfline’s local charts.

First, let’s talk conditions. Sunrise hit at 6:37AM, and sunset will be at 7:54PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out on the salt. Weather’s ideal for late summer—expect variable winds around 5 to 10 knots today, swinging back to a northwest breeze by evening. Ocean conditions are favorable, with a mellow swell at four to five feet. That’s about as comfortable as it gets for August, and should keep most boats happy and safe offshore, according to the latest report from the Ocean Prediction Center. Tides are right in that productive zone for morning and evening fishing. Depoe Bay’s high tide crested at 7:25AM and you’ve got another big push coming at 5:57PM—midday lows might slow bottom action, but the bookended highs should kick things into gear. Fishing has been downright solid this week. Dockside Charters out of Depoe Bay reports both bottom fishing boats limited out on rockfish and scored some hefty lingcod just these past few days, and each passenger was hauling in about nine to ten Dungeness crabs. Lingcod and black rockfish continue to anchor the bite along the nearshore reefs, particularly with the ongoing fishery-independent survey work from the ODFW adding some science muscle to the management game. Note the daily bag limit is four rockfish per angler (bumping up to five in July), and lingcod hold steady at two per person with a 22-inch minimum. Canary rockfish are one per angler sub-bag. As always, no yelloweye or quillback—mind your regs! Halibut action’s right at its summer peak, too. With the August inshore and summer quotas open all month, you’ve got good odds if you can get to the sand flats. The inshore halibut limit is four fish per angler through August 31st, but check your charts for closed zones and keep an eye on that quota. Tuna folks, the signs are good: warm blue water in tight and some promising scatterings of bait on the surface—reports hint at albacore within reach for anybody with the fuel and a spread of cedar plugs or small Tuna Clones. Watch the water temps west of Pacific City and Garibaldi—hotspots are around the 200-fathom line. Lures and bait—here’s what’s working. For bottomfish, the go-tos remain four- to eight-ounce leadheads with big curly tail plastics in white or root beer, or swimbaits tipped with squid. For lingcod, blue and green patterns have been deadly. If you’re after rockfish, nothing beats a double dropper loop rig tipped with fresh herring, but soft plastics and tungsten jigs (like a Departure Outdoors tungsten chatterbait) are also doing damage, especially around rocky ledges. For halibut, large herring fished on a spreader bar or a white grub on a heavy jig head is the ticket. And if you’re chasing albacore, trolled cedar plugs and soft plastic squid in pink or blue get the nod.

The weather is set for top-tier fishing: swells have dropped to around 3 to 4 feet, and winds are variable and light, hovering under 10 knots for most of the day, making it a gentle run offshore. According to the National Weather Service and the Ocean Prediction Center, conditions should hold through the weekend, so it’s a great time for both offshore and inshore trips. Sunrise was at 6:33 AM, with sunset rolling in at 7:59 PM—plenty of light for long sessions on the water. Tidal flows at Nestucca Bay are mellow: you’ll see a low tide right around 12:17 AM at 1.18 feet, building to a midmorning high then dropping again late afternoon. These moderate swings are prime—expect fish to be active on the incoming, especially near structure and reefs according to the Surfline tide calendar and local forecasts. Let’s talk what’s biting. Bottom fishing is red hot this week. Dockside Depoe Bay reported both boats limited out on rockfish yesterday, with healthy catches of Lingcod coming over the rails too, plenty of quality fish in that 22-inch range and up. Canary and black rockfish are leading the packs, and don't sleep on the flatfish bite—up to 25 per angler, and there are some really nice soles and flounder in the mix. The daily bag limit for rockfish has just increased to five per angler, so fill those coolers, but remember: yelloweye and quillback rockfish are off-limits at all times. Halibut fishing is wrapping up with the inshore and summer seasons still open through the 31st. Pressure has been moderate and there’s still time to pull a big one—fresh herring or large jigs tipped with squid are turning the most fish. On the salmon scene, Buoy 10 near Astoria is still seeing solid action, with both Chinook and coho moving up. Jones Sport Fishing noted daily catches for both species, with most boats seeing a mix—trolling with plug-cut herring behind a flasher has been deadly. If you want numbers, try early before the outgoing tide peaks; that water movement fires up the bite. Crabbing is steady, holding at solid rates—expect 9-10 keepers per person inside bays and estuaries. Keep your pots baited heavy with chicken or fish frames for best results. Locals are pulling in modest numbers of Dungeness and a few big reds, so drop pots while you drift for rockfish. For lures and bait: - Offshore, the go-to is a large swimbait or metal jig for lingcod and rockfish—give ‘em an aggressive presentation near rocky structure. - For salmon, stick with green or chartreuse flashers and a natural herring brine, or try a spinner if you notice more silvers in the mix. - Flatfish are loving sand shrimp or strip baits right on the bottom. Hotspots this weekend are looking like: - The reefs off Depoe Bay for rockfish and lingcod—they’re producing limits, and the lingcod are hitting hard-bouncing This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’ve got a fair marine weather window this morning: light southeast breeze, marine layer burning off, and swell running mellow—just enough to keep the nearshore frothy and shake up the bait balls. Sunrise slid in about 6:22 AM, and you’ll want to be winding in before sunset at 7:16 PM. According to the latest NOAA tide charts, high tide peaked at 4:07 AM around 6.4 feet, with a nice outgoing tide into mid-morning, then another high late afternoon. That early flood and morning ebb should set up great bait and bite activity for both surf and boat anglers. It’s late summer and the action’s been all about tuna, halibut, and the last of the bottomfish push before the fall transitions. Out of Garibaldi and Newport, albacore tuna are getting caught 30-40 miles offshore, though numbers ticked down a bit this past week—anglers were averaging about half a fish apiece out of Garibaldi and doing a bit better around Newport, with some marks showing a solid fish per rod last weekend, per Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. Big water jigs, cedar plugs, and skirted trolling lures in pink, green, or black/white remain the ticket for those speedsters. Bottomfish are steady—general marine species bag limit is four, with one cabezon and one canary rockfish allowed. Cabezon have been chewing crab-flavored plastics, while black rockfish and lingcod are hitting white curly-tail jigs and swimbaits in 4-7 inch range. The retention of quillback and yelloweye rockfish is still off limits, so keep a sharp eye during release. As for halibut, the Columbia River subarea is open Sundays through Fridays, and central/southern Oregon coast waters are open daily—check quotas if you’re headed out late. Salmon action is a mixed bag. Ocean salmon’s closed south of Humbug Mountain for the remainder of the season, but coho are forecast in big numbers—Oregon coast natural coho ocean abundance is up to 289,000, the highest since 2012, per Exploding Whale Sports. Where open, try trolling herring or anchovy behind a flasher in the top 40 feet, or switch to spinners and spoons if bait’s tough to get. Nehalem Bay and the estuaries are starting to see a few early fall Chinook, but it’s not red-hot yet—expect better numbers after mid-September. Try herring or large spinners upriver as the day warms. For those sticking close to shore, jetty and surf anglers are still picking up greenling and surf perch—mole crabs, sand shrimp, and gulp camo sandworms are standard. Fluke and small halibut are also possible in the nearshore flats. A couple hot spots to consider: - Barview Jetty: Classic spot to soak bait for big rockfish, lingcod, and the occasional bonus perch. - Newport Offshore Reefs: Productive for bottomfish and still within reach of tuna if the weather holds. - Nehalem Bay: Early Chinook and plenty of crabbers pulling pots.

We’re rounding the last week of August with classic late-summer conditions over the Northwest salt. Sunrise was at 6:23 a.m. and sunset will be about 8:17 p.m. Across most of the coast, skies are partly cloudy with a light westerly wind, highs pushing the mid-60s—a beautiful day to be out on the water. A mild marine layer in the morning gave way to excellent visibility and steady seas through afternoon. Tides were moderate today and played into a productive bite for tidal species. Coos Bay posted a high tide at 5:23 a.m., bottomed out low at 11:01 a.m., then swelled again for the evening high at 5:20 p.m. Nestucca Bay, just north, saw its high tide roll in at 4:22 a.m., with a low at 10:15 a.m. and a second high close to sunset. These moving tides have kept bait stirring and fish actively feeding, especially within the first two hours of each shift. If you’re casting off jetties or drifting estuaries, time those tide changes—the fish sure do. Reports from Buoy 10 in Astoria confirm that Chinook and coho action is “awesome” at the mouth of the Columbia, with boats bringing back limits on quality kings and silvers by midday. The early-morning bite remains intense, especially when the tidal flow pushes schools upriver[Buoy 10 / Astoria Daily Fishing Report]. Elsewhere along the Pacific ports, SportfishingReport.com highlights excellent yellowtail catches this morning and bluefin tuna are moving through, mostly targeting southern Oregon waters[Sportfishing Report]. Meanwhile, charter boats out of Newport and Garibaldi are tallying healthy numbers of rockfish, lingcod, and the occasional striper mixed in with boat limits being reached more often than not. Species caught over the last 24 hours include: - Chinook salmon (still running strong, best bites on the incoming tide) - Coho (smaller but feisty and abundant) - Rockfish: black and blue varieties - Lingcod - Striped bass milling around some estuary mouths - Halibut and flounder—caught deeper with jigs Best lures and baits for the day: - For salmon: Flashers with herring (dead or alive), cut-plug baits, chartreuse hoochies, and spinners in silver and green. - For bottom species like lingcod and rockfish: Lead jigs with white curly tails, live bait if you’ve got it, or swimbaits that mimic anchovy. - Bass and stripers: Topwater poppers in the early morning, especially near reeds and rocky structure, and soft plastics or wacky-rig worms through the midday slowdowns as suggested by JP DeRose and BassForecast’s advisory for early fall feeding frenzies. Try Yamamoto 5” Senko Worms and translucent craw crankbaits if you’re mixing estuary and freshwater stops. - Flounder and halibut: Use bounce-and-drag metal jigs tipped with squid strips or shrimp.

We’ve got classic late summer conditions setting the stage for a pretty phenomenal run on the Oregon coast—so whether your boots hit sand at Pacific City or you run your boat out past the jetties, the bite's been consistent and spirits are high. Sunrise was at 6:20 AM today, with sunset rolling in at 7:20 PM, giving us a long window for action. Weather's playing ball—mornings are cool, low fifties, warming to upper sixties by midday, typical for August with a gentle marine layer, but expect it to burn off by mid-morning leaving mostly clear skies and light winds around 6–10 knots. This keeps swells moderate and makes for easy drifting both on the surf and near the mouth of the bays. Tidal swings are giving us prime movement. Nestucca Bay saw a high tide at 3:33 AM at 6.31 feet, dropping to a low of 9:50 AM at 1.5 feet, then surging up again to a 7.2 foot high at 3:50 PM. Oceanside tides show similar action, with a low at 5:41 AM, a strong high at 12:07 PM, and another low at 6:41 PM. If you’re planning to target gamefish from a kayak or the rocks, don’t miss that rising flood—most fish feed hardest on the push between slack and the incoming. Reports from local charters and shore anglers over the last few days: salmon—coho and chinook—still running offshore with the occasional big king landed by trollers running chartreuse flashers and herring strips anywhere from 50–120 feet down. Inside the bays, steelhead and a few stray sea-run cutthroat are popping in the early mornings on pink or orange spinner rigs. Rockfish and lingcod are putting on a heck of a show on the reefs west of Cape Kiwanda. Gulp! Squids, swimbaits in anchovy patterns, and shrimp-tipped jigs are consistently out-fishing plain plastics. Limits are coming fast—average rockfish per angler is four to five, with plenty of blues and blacks in the mix, plus a handful of chunky lings over thirty inches. Halibut reports are scattered, but those targeting the outer banks with spreader rigs baited with octopus or salmon belly continue to score, especially on those long, slow drifts mid-tide.

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 07:57:48 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here, reporting live and salty from the Oregon Pacific, Wednesday August 27, 2025, just before eight in the morning. We’ve got classic late summer conditions setting the stage for a pretty phenomenal run on the Oregon coast—so whether your boots hit sand at Pacific City or you run your boat out past the jetties, the bite's been consistent and spirits are high. Sunrise was at 6:20 AM today, with sunset rolling in at 7:20 PM, giving us a long window for action. Weather's playing ball—mornings are cool, low fifties, warming to upper sixties by midday, typical for August with a gentle marine layer, but expect it to burn off by mid-morning leaving mostly clear skies and light winds around 6–10 knots. This keeps swells moderate and makes for easy drifting both on the surf and near the mouth of the bays. Tidal swings are giving us prime movement. Nestucca Bay saw a high tide at 3:33 AM at 6.31 feet, dropping to a low of 9:50 AM at 1.5 feet, then surging up again to a 7.2 foot high at 3:50 PM. Oceanside tides show similar action, with a low at 5:41 AM, a strong high at 12:07 PM, and another low at 6:41 PM. If you’re planning to target gamefish from a kayak or the rocks, don’t miss that rising flood—most fish feed hardest on the push between slack and the incoming. Reports from local charters and shore anglers over the last few days: salmon—coho and chinook—still running offshore with the occasional big king landed by trollers running chartreuse flashers and herring strips anywhere from 50–120 feet down. Inside the bays, steelhead and a few stray sea-run cutthroat are popping in the early mornings on pink or orange spinner rigs. Rockfish and lingcod are putting on a heck of a show on the reefs west of Cape Kiwanda. Gulp! Squids, swimbaits in anchovy patterns, and shrimp-tipped jigs are consistently out-fishing plain plastics. Limits are coming fast—average rockfish per angler is four to five, with plenty of blues and blacks in the mix, plus a handful of chunky lings over thirty inches. Halibut reports are scattered, but those targeting the outer banks with spreader rigs baited with octopus or salmon belly continue to score, especially on those long, slow drifts mid-tide.

Out on the salt this morning, we’re seeing classic Oregon weather: cool in the low 50s early, reaching up into the high 60s as the fog burns off. Winds are coming northwest, steady at 15 to 25 knots, so be ready for some chop out there and waves running 6 to 8 feet, according to the Ocean Prediction Center. Plan carefully and stay alert, especially on the open water. Sunrise hit the horizon at 6:23am and today’s sunset falls at 8:07pm, giving us a broad window for long sets or a lazy late bite. Tides are moderate, with a negative low around 8:20am and a decent high at 2:25pm according to Surfline’s Pacific City tide chart, making that mid-morning to early afternoon switch prime time for bottom bouncers and jetty wranglers. Let’s get to the action: Bottom fishing has carried the weekend. Dockside Charters out of Depoe Bay reported the rockfish bite improved over the last couple of days, producing mixed bags—lots of black rockfish and a sprinkle of canaries if you pick through. Lingcod are finally snapping with purpose again; one boat came home with 8 lings and there’s been steady chatter about some over the slot size. If you stay grinding on the reefs or closer rock piles, you’ll pull fish, but you’ve got to work for them. Offshore, salmon fishing slowed right down yesterday. A few boats cut trips short and switched to bottom drops after fighting wind and waves. Remember, the last day for summer salmon is today; the season reopens September 1st. Not much on the silver front, but a couple wild chinook have shown, mostly on the troll with white hoochies or chartreuse flashers behind a deep diver. Halibut is fair—nothing lights-out, but boats prowling the deep water, especially those running past 200 feet, have found a few slabs willing to eat herring or large glow grubs on dropper loops. Albacore tuna are around, but most charters report you’ve got to make a long run to find them, and the weather’s been bumpy. Crabbing remains solid—pots dropped in 30 to 50 feet are coming up stuffed near every port north and south, and Dungeness are full and strong, making for a great bonus after a tough fish day. Best bets for lures and bait: - For lingcod, stick with large white swimbaits, blue-and-white jigs, and fresh-cut herring if you’ve got it. - Rockfish are taking shrimp flies, metallic spoons, and curly tail grubs in root beer or motor oil colors. - Halibut hunters should drop their biggest glow grubs or soaked herring on heavy gear out beyond 200, especially off rocky structure. - Until today’s salmon close, chartreuse hoochies and anchovy baits are your best friend. - Tuna chasers: cedar plugs and purple-feathered jigs trolled in our usual late-summer temperature breaks out 30+ miles. Hot spots to try: - Depoe Bay reefs just north and south of the harbor are producing numbers. - Pac This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Cool morning air off the Pacific with winds out of the north at 10 to 15 knots, gusting up to 20 by the afternoon, has kept seas lively at 3-4 feet—manageable but bumpy as you push out past the breakers, according to the National Weather Service marine forecast. Expect those steady breezes to stick through the weekend. Tides in Pacific City are swinging low at 7:06 AM (-0.7 ft), then climbing to a high at 1:45 PM (5.6 ft), setting up prime late-morning and early-afternoon fishing windows as currents stabilize and the bite comes on. Sunrise hit at 6:20, giving us a long August day, with sunset expected around 8:18 PM. The bite offshore has been classic late-summer Oregon—anglers hitting bottom are finding limits of **lingcod** (many in the 28-36" range) and a solid haul of black rockfish, with a couple of surprise halibut making the trip recently. Reports from Oregon Fish Reports confirm: “42 Ling Cod (Limits), 2 Halibut, 2 Black Cod, and some rockfish on the 8 hour trip Friday.” Charter boats and private craft near Pacific City, Garibaldi, and Depoe Bay are seeing similar results—steady catches, especially on drift jigs and bait. Chinook and coho are still pushing up the coast, with Buoy 10 at the mouth of the Columbia absolutely packed in the early morning hours. According to the latest Buoy 10 Daily Fishing Report out of Astoria, fishers checked in coho to 12 pounds, with Chinook running a bit smaller but stacking up in the lower river. Most salmon are being caught trolling herring or anchovies behind chartreuse or green spinners and dodgers. Down this way, the best nearshore action is on the first tide turn, so get those baits down early. Albacore tuna remain patchy but worth a run if you’ve got the seaworthy hull and fuel—look west to temperature breaks 25-40 miles out. Cedar plugs and skirted jigs in natural colors are producing, but troll fast to cover water. For your best shot today: - Drop **white or chartreuse leadhead jigs** or large swimbaits for lingcod and deep-water rockfish. - Use **fresh herring, sardines, or squid strips** on circle hooks; bait is outperforming artificials when there’s surge on the bottom. - For salmon, rig up a 360 flasher and a green-label herring or spinner. Chartreuse and pink seem to be the ticket near the river mouths right now. Local hot spots this morning: - **Haystack Rock out of Pacific City**: Reliable for bottomfish and the odd lingcod that’ll test your tackle. - **Buoy 10 at Astoria**: If you’re chasing salmon, there’s no better slot right now—action is hour-by-hour at the morning bite. Extra tip from PacificCityFishing.com: Don’t skip on the crab pots; Dungeness crab limits are common, especially if you’re willing to soak your gear for a few tide changes.

Sunrise was at 6:32 AM and the sun’s setting at 8:06 PM, so there’s still plenty of daylight to get those lines wet before dusk. Tides out of Brookings/Chetco Cove show a low at 5:58 AM dipping to -0.89 ft, a strong midday high at 12:27 PM peaking at 6.07 ft, followed by a modest 2.2 ft low at 5:54 PM, with another high just before midnight. Plan your launches and beach returns accordingly—today’s swing favors mid-morning through early afternoon action for the best bite, especially near the incoming tide according to Tide-Forecast.com. Weather’s been textbook for late summer: calm mornings, northwest breeze picking up in the afternoon, skies generally clear along much of the coast. Water temps are hovering in the sweet spot for both pelagics and bottom fish. According to Reel Steel Sport Fishing, tuna water continues creeping north and the first real shots should happen any day—good news if you’re hunting albacore. Rockfish bit is very consistent at the Cape and around the reefs, though lingcod have been a touch spotty but catchable if you work the ledges hard. ODFW recently adjusted bag and species limits effective August 18: you’re back to a 4-fish marine mixed bag for most bottom species. Canary rockfish now have a 2-fish sub-limit statewide. Quillback rockfish remain totally off-limits—don’t even think about it! Black, vermilion, and sunset rockfish are all tightly managed so double-check your daily catch versus the latest regs. Sablefish, if you find them, have their own 10-fish allowance outside the mixed bag. Fresh reports from Pacific City and Netarts to Brookings confirm solid action nearshore: dory boats and small craft have been putting up quick limits on black, canary, and blue rockfish, with the occasional chunky lingcod, and crab traps are hauling up easy limits of Dungeness for those who soak gear long enough. Lingcod are around but require persistent jigging at the base of rocky structure and jetties. Best baits this week: locally-caught herring has been king for bottomfish and lings, while swimbaits and curlytail jigs in rootbeer or motor oil colors imitate the comely sculpins and young-of-year rockfish they love. For a more active approach, use 1½ to 3 oz leadhead jigs with big, flappy plastics. If chasing salmon (and you should—they’re thick right now off the Columbia Buoy 10 area), troll herring or anchovies behind chartreuse or pink flashers. According to FishingBooker and the ODFW’s Astoria outlook, both coho and fall Chinook are running strong, with action in the lower Columbia staying hot through late August. A couple of hot spots worth your time: - Buoy 10 at the Columbia River mouth: Peak Chinook and coho, with sturgeon and stripers a bonus. Drift or anchor, but expect a crowd. - Off Pacific City’s Haystack Rock: Drop for black and canary rockfish and chase lingcod along the rocky she This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

It’s a classic coastal August morning with fog rolling off and patchy sun expected by late morning. Temps are hanging cool in the mid-50s early, rising to the low 60s mid-day, with a light breeze off the ocean—almost ideal for time on the salt. Today’s sunrise was at 6:32am and sunset will be around 8:06pm, giving us a good long window for action. (Brookings, Chetco Cove tide and sun forecast) Tides are working in our favor for much of the coast. Early risers saw negative low tides just about daybreak, bottoming out around -0.7 ft near Pacific City and Brookings not long after, with incoming highs mid-day peaking at about 6 ft or better—not a bad window for surfperch or launching small craft. If you’re chasing the evening bite, plan on working that falling tide after 5pm. Moving up to the fish: Ocean coho continue to be the stars south of Cape Falcon, with boats still getting into decent numbers despite the season winding down, according to The Guide’s Forecast this week. Many boats are still seeing action, but remember regulations—some coho areas will close soon, so check your local zone before you run out. Halibut, meanwhile, have been spotty but persistent. Fishing the North Coast reports the halibut bite remains hit and miss, but with the general marine species bag limit back up to four fish, folks are getting nice mixed bags—think halibut, rockfish, and a bonus lingcod if the stars align. Tuna have also made a showing offshore, with a few boats running out of Garibaldi or Depot Bay grabbing longfin albacore—if you can catch a weather window and spot the warm water break, it’s game on. Rockfish are still reliable, especially over reefs outside Newport, Pacific City, and Gold Beach. Dark colored swimbaits and metal jigs bounced over rocky structure put big blacks and the odd canary or yellowtail in the box. Best baits and lures today: For ocean coho and chinook, troll herring or anchovy behind a flasher, or try pink or chartreuse hoochies on a short leader. Tuna chasers are running cedar plugs and dark feather jigs at depth. Halibut are coming on herring or large white grub tails, fished right on the bottom with heavy lead. For rockfish, drop-shots with curly tail grubs, or metal jigs in the 2-4 oz. range, are outproducing bait right now. If you’re working the surf or jetties, sand shrimp and Gulp sandworms on a dropper are the go-tos. Hot spots today: - Garibaldi reef complex—great for mixed bottomfish and the outside chance at tuna on a long run. - Chetco River mouth and jetty—solid for salmon, surfperch, and the off chance at a king if you’re persistent. - Newport reef edges—reliable for rockfish and the occasional halibut bite on the incoming tide. This is prime August—solid coho fishing south of Falcon, persistent bottomfish action, and tuna if you’re ambitious and watch the weather.

We woke up to classic Oregon coast weather—patches of dense morning fog holding steady offshore and hugging the bays, but the marine forecast calls for calming seas at 6 to 7 feet and light winds around 5 knots, shifting westerly as the day goes on. Expect that fog to stick around on the water through mid-morning, so use extra caution at launch. Sunrise came at 6:21 AM and we’ll be casting until the sun dips at 8:17 PM—plenty of daylight for a full day’s chase. Tidal movement is prime for early action. Newport reports a low tide at 1:56 AM, a strong push up to a 5.34-foot high at 8:49 AM, then drops into a moderate 3.74-foot low at 1:02 PM and a full high at 8.31 feet by 7:30 PM. Fish activity often perks with this kind of swing: work these changeovers for the best bite, especially in tidal bays and at the mouths[5]. Now for the action: Coho salmon still headline the salt, especially south of Cape Falcon. Ocean coho have been thick, and though the season’s coming to a close soon, catches are downright steady—local charters report plenty of doubles landed, with healthy limits when tide and bait align according to The Guide’s Forecast. Chinook action is more hit-and-miss this week, but boaters pulling flashers with herring or anchovies are scoring where pockets of bait are holding. For salmon, run anchovy or herring behind a flasher in 30-90 feet, trolling 2-3 mph just outside the surfline and up to a couple miles out[1][10]. Albacore tuna are in solid numbers as well, with sport boats running 30-40 miles offshore from Garibaldi and Newport and coming back with big counts. Tuna are taking cedar plugs, small swimbaits, and dark jigs in the early fog. Double-check your weather window before heading out deep. That next tide window is a good shot for inshore bottomfish, with rockfish and lingcod holding strong off reefs near Depoe Bay and Pacific City. Jigs, curlytail plastics like Z MAN GrubZ, and baited shrimp flies are working wonders, especially in 40–70 feet. Anglers using Z MAN plastics mention bass and lingcod grabbing and holding these baits more than others, partly due to their realistic action and durability, as reviewed by Discount Tackle. Green and motor oil hues are local favorites this week[3]. For surf fishermen, perch bite early on sandshrimp or Gulp camo sandworms. Some reports of striped bass caught in the mouths of the Salmon and Nestucca Rivers, usually at dusk on poppers or swimbaits. Crabbing is fair in the bays with recent tides cleaning things up. Chicken or salmon carcass in a ring net is all you need now. As for hotspots, don’t sleep on the nearshore reefs just north of Newport—rockfish are thick, and a few big lingcod were pulled over the rail this weekend. Pacific City’s dory launch gives fast access to strong bottomfish action, and the Salmon River mouth is still coughing up good numbers of salmon at first l This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. Sun, 17 Aug 2025 07:49:47 -0000 full Inception Point AI This is Artificial Lure, bringing you your Pacific Ocean Oregon fishing report for Sunday, August 17th, 2025. We woke up to classic Oregon coast weather—patches of dense morning fog holding steady offshore and hugging the bays, but the marine forecast calls for calming seas at 6 to 7 feet and light winds around 5 knots, shifting westerly as the day goes on. Expect that fog to stick around on the water through mid-morning, so use extra caution at launch. Sunrise came at 6:21 AM and we’ll be casting until the sun dips at 8:17 PM—plenty of daylight for a full day’s chase. Tidal movement is prime for early action. Newport reports a low tide at 1:56 AM, a strong push up to a 5.34-foot high at 8:49 AM, then drops into a moderate 3.74-foot low at 1:02 PM and a full high at 8.31 feet by 7:30 PM. Fish activity often perks with this kind of swing: work these changeovers for the best bite, especially in tidal bays and at the mouths[5]. Now for the action: Coho salmon still headline the salt, especially south of Cape Falcon. Ocean coho have been thick, and though the season’s coming to a close soon, catches are downright steady—local charters report plenty of doubles landed, with healthy limits when tide and bait align according to The Guide’s Forecast. Chinook action is more hit-and-miss this week, but boaters pulling flashers with herring or anchovies are scoring where pockets of bait are holding. For salmon, run anchovy or herring behind a flasher in 30-90 feet, trolling 2-3 mph just outside the surfline and up to a couple miles out[1][10]. Albacore tuna are in solid numbers as well, with sport boats running 30-40 miles offshore from Garibaldi and Newport and coming back with big counts. Tuna are taking cedar plugs, small swimbaits, and dark jigs in the early fog. Double-check your weather window before heading out deep. That next tide window is a good shot for inshore bottomfish, with rockfish and lingcod holding strong off reefs near Depoe Bay and Pacific City. Jigs, curlytail plastics like Z MAN GrubZ, and baited shrimp flies are working wonders, especially in 40–70 feet. Anglers using Z MAN plastics mention bass and lingcod grabbing and holding these baits more than others, partly due to their realistic action and durability, as reviewed by Discount Tackle. Green and motor oil hues are local favorites this week[3]. For surf fishermen, perch bite early on sandshrimp or Gulp camo sandworms. Some reports of striped bass caught in the mouths of the Salmon and Nestucca Rivers, usually at dusk on poppers or swimbaits. Crabbing is fair in the bays with recent tides cleaning things up. Chicken or salmon carcass in a ring net is all you need now.

We’re greeted by spectacular summer conditions this morning. As the sun rises over the coast at 6:19AM and sets tonight at 8:19PM, it’s prime time to hit the water around places like Newport, Pacific City, and Tillamook Bay. The air’s crisp and the swells have mellowed, making for smooth launches and good visibility through most of the day. Let’s look at the tides: At Taft, Siletz Bay, you’ll catch a low tide at 1:10AM (0.3 feet) and another low at 12:21PM (2.21 feet), with high tides at 7:11AM (4.38 feet) and a robust evening push at 6:27PM (6.78 feet). These bigger evening tides should churn up bait, boosting the late-day bite. Fish activity has been lively through August. According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, July’s sunshine roused the bite—over 80 metric tons of black rockfish were brought in, peaking mid-month. This week, limits have shifted: starting Monday, August 18, the general marine species daily bag limit drops to four fish, but the one-fish limit for cabezon and canary rockfish remains, and quillback and yelloweye rockfish are still off-limits. Be sure to count your catch as quotas tighten. Salmon anglers, take note: Ocean sport salmon closes August 19 in the Columbia River Subarea, but fin-clipped coho action is still open from Cape Falcon down to the California border through August 24—or until quotas are hit. The projected tally for marked coho near Cape Falcon is just shy of the season quota, so get out before it’s gone. Most recent counts suggest nearly 49,000 fin-clipped coho will be landed by closing, so don't miss your last chance for a solid silver. Bait reports say mackerel and shrimp are bringing steady results for bottom fish. Refresh your offerings every 20 minutes for best odds. For rockfish and lingcod, shrimp flies, bars, jigs, and cut baits are reliable—try to mimic the look and scent of local prey. Sablefish are on a separate 10-fish bag limit, and those deeper drops can produce some hefty dinners. For those casting for bass in brackish or freshwater pockets nearby, topwater frogs, diving crankbaits, and finesse worms are pulling hawgs. The Strike King medium diving crank, Missile Baits worms in Junebug Dream, and classic soft stickbaits like Berkley PowerBait MaxScent are winning local anglers consistent strikes. If you’re chasing halibut, cut herring or squid, drifted near structure during twilight, will draw big bites. Hot spots today: - Pacific City’s reef zones, especially around Nestucca Bay entrance, are productive at dawn and dusk. The morning high tide should activate the bite for rockfish, lings, and greenling. - Newport jetties and close offshore reefs remain reliable for mixed bags—especially as evening tide pushes in baitfish. - Tillamook Bay’s mouth at slack tide or the early outgoing is worth a shot for coho, chinook, and big rockfish.

Sunrise at 6:24 a.m. paints the rocks gold, and sunset will draw down around 8:18 p.m., leaving plenty of time for dedicated fishing and a little salt in your beard. Tide swings are friendly to both early risers and the post-lunch crowd, with a 5.54 ft high tide in Pacific City at 5:51 a.m. and another in the afternoon that peaks around 5:42 p.m. according to the Pacific City tide calendar and the tide forecast for Nestucca Bay. Brookings, down south, is seeing a similar set with high tides early and mid-afternoon. Fish activity is typically strongest near these tide turns, especially the morning flood and the afternoon ebb—prime setup for both bottomfish and surf pursuits. Weather’s kicked into that summer classic: mild to warm and mostly stable, making for good boat launches and plenty of folks out trolling and jigging. According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s recent marine report, most estuary and nearshore boats are finding a reliable pick of rockfish, with black and blue varieties leading the way. A few canary rockfish are in the mix, but remember, the one-fish sub-bag limit for canary rock is in effect statewide this year. Lingcod action is a touch slower inside the bays but remains decent on deeper reefs and rocky points if you’re persistent—look for those big boulders on your bottom finder. August is also the heart of the all-depth Pacific halibut season for the Central and Southern Oregon Coast. Participation’s tapered off a tad, but halibut catches actually jumped this past week, especially around the 55-line and off Newport and Coos Bay. Slow-drifting large herring or squid on the bottom remains king, but don’t ignore white curly-tail grubs or glow jig heads when the sun gets high. Salmon-wise, the mark-selective coho season is open from Cape Falcon down to the California border, with over 70% of the fin-clipped coho quota met by August 10. Chinook’s off-limits in this southern stretch, so check your regs before launching. Offshore, a promising weather window is opening for tuna—according to Reel Steel Sport Fishing, warm water is nudging north and may set up solid albacore action for boats heading out tomorrow. Trolling Rapala Sarda lures or Bonita-style lures with fluorocarbon leaders is highly recommended for speedy chasers; use bright colors if the sun is shining hard. Look for hot spots at: - **Coos Bay jetty and North Spit**: solid for rockfish and an occasional keeper ling on swimbaits or jigs with chartreuse twister trailers. - **Cape Blanco reefs**: best for halibut and bigger lings, especially at first light. - **Tillamook Bay mouth**: good for sea-run cutthroat and a few late surf perch on sand shrimp.

Today’s forecast is shaping up about perfect for tuna chasers and nearshore bottom bouncers alike. Weather conditions are holding steady with light morning fog clearing off by mid-morning, highs topping out in the upper 60s along the coast, and only a mild wind out of the west—expect 5-10 knots early, picking up slightly in the afternoon, but staying fishable throughout. Sunrise was right at 6:16 AM, with sunset coming up at 8:20 PM, so there’s a long window for those dawn patrols and evening bites. On the water, the ocean's holding calm and blue, just above 60 degrees, prime conditions that the bluefin and albacore are loving this week off the coastline. According to Peninsula Daily News, we're seeing a run that could rival the banner years of 2015 and 2019—tuna are not only here, but they’re running bigger than usual. Commercial trollers working out of Portland and farther north report “extraordinary catches” lately, and with the cooler and cloudier August weather Portland’s seen this week, schools are pressing in within range for sportboats—making this potentially the best season in the last quarter-century. Hot baits for those offshore tuna have been jigs and live bait fished near those temperature breaks—look for that 60-degree water line. For artificials, Blue Fox Vibrax Painted Inline Spinners and Minnow Inline lures have seen strong results as well, per Klamath Falls’ Hyatt Lake report, and those same styles will get bit along the coast for both tuna and larger nearshore species. Tide-wise, we had a low at 6:07 AM (0.26 ft), high at 11:21 AM (3.25 ft), another low at 6:17 PM (0.16 ft), and a late high at 11:51 PM (3.51 ft). That means the morning outgoing and midday incoming should concentrate bait along the structure, setting up ambush points for everything from surfperch in the suds to lingcod and rockfish deeper out. Moving water equals moving fish! Shore and jetty anglers have grabbed steady bags of black rockfish and some chunky cabezon, especially around Pacific City and the mouth of the Nestucca Bay. Drop shotting curly tail grubs or fishing fresh sand shrimp as bait around the high tide are both proven methods. Near Garibaldi, bottom fishing continues strong, with regular limits of lingcod and sea bass coming over the rails, Oregon Fish Reports highlights. The bite’s especially good on jigs tipped with scented twister tails or swimbaits—try white, chartreuse, or glow patterns. Salmon action remains spotty at times, but there are still bright Chinook and plenty of coho moving through, especially at the river mouths early and late in the day. Troll herring or anchovy behind a flasher, or work spinners like the Blue Fox in green or pink. Hot Spots: - Offshore 30-35 miles off Garibaldi or Pacific City for albacore and bluefin—find the blue water, watch your sonar for bait clouds. - Tillamook Bay entrance and the This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We kicked off the sunrise at 6:11 a.m., and expect the sun to settle below the horizon tonight at 8:29 p.m. Out on the water, conditions are comfortable—typical cool August mornings, light northwest winds that’ll freshen as the afternoon wears on. According to the folks at Pacific City Tides, today’s highs and lows are solid for most fishing: look for that first high tide at 1:13 a.m. with a whopping 8.0 feet, low tide around 8:22 a.m., and the afternoon high rolling in at 2:37 p.m. with 6.9 feet—ideal windows for striper, bottom fish, and surf casting success. Fish activity has been steady and the bite is showing up strong in all the right places. According to the most recent Tradewinds Charters report out of Depoe Bay, summer all-depth halibut season just opened, and the bottom fish have been snapping. Limits are now five rockfish and two lingcod per angler starting in July, and most boats are coming in heavy-laden with coolers full by midday. Top catches over the past couple days: loads of strong black rockfish, big cabezon, and a good number of chunky lingcod. Halibut numbers are creeping up as more folks head for deep water, and some fish up to 35 pounds hit the docks yesterday. Remember, the halibut bag limit is two per angler, and bottom fish trips are open year-round, so there’s always something on offer. For bait and lures—locals have had their best luck using soft swimbaits paired with a light jighead, mimicking injured anchovy or sand lance when working the reefs and rock piles. Bright white, chartreuse, and rootbeer colors are getting smashed. Those fishing bait are scoring with strips of fresh herring, squid, or big hunks of sand shrimp, especially on a double-dropper setup near the bottom. For surf fishing and jetty casting, nothing beats fresh cut-bait like anchovy or scent-enhanced plastics. Out toward Pacific City, clams and sand fleas scooped right from the shore are pulling in a mixed bag—redtail surfperch, greenling, and the occasional rogue chinook holding in the troughs. Hot spots this weekend: - The reefs off Depoe Bay are giving up consistent limits of rockfish and sending plenty of happy anglers home with lingcod and halibut. Book a morning charter or hit the jetties at first light for the best action. - Down to Pacific City, the sand spit and mouth of the Nestucca River are lighting up for surfperch and striped bass, especially on the outgoing tide. Don’t forget, Dungeness crab is still open through October 15th, so set a pot or two while you’re out. Crabbers working the mouths and rocky points are hauling in limits daily. Whether you’re on your own skiff, hopping on a local charter, or walking the sand with rod in hand, today’s shaping up to be another memorable day on the Oregon coast. As always, stay safe, check your bar conditions, and bring a spare layer—it's Oregon after all. Thanks This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise hit the water at 6:12AM with a golden promise, and the day’s tides set the pace for action: low at 7:15AM, high at 1:39PM, and another low at 6:53PM in Pacific City and Nestucca Bay. Weather’s holding mostly clear early, though breezy afternoons are likely, so get your casts in before the wind picks up. Expect sunset around 7:34PM, so evening bites are fair game for the late crowd. Let’s talk fish. Offshore, the big news is Pacific halibut: the season stays open into November since quotas haven’t hit—rare for August. Catch rates are decent but patchy, with boats working hard from Trinidad to the Eel River Canyon. Best chances are running deep, covering ground, and bouncing bait off rocky bottoms. Use lead-head jigs tipped with herring or squid, and add a glow skirt for low light; the bite turns on during tide transitions, especially near slack[7]. Rockfish and lingcod are reliably hot near jetties, reefs, and the shallows off Cape Lookout and Three Arch Rocks. Berkley Gulp twister tails, shrimp flies, and metal jigs in chartreuse or motor oil work well. Keep it simple: drop, bounce, repeat. Lingcod favor bigger swimbaits or live greenling if you can wrangle one. The Sisters and the cans off Crescent City were called “on fire” by local boats this week—easy limits with a bit of patience[6]. Inshore and up the rivers, the story’s all about Chinook salmon. The Coquille River is on the edge of reopening any day, thanks to a massive tribal-led effort removing more than 45,000 invasive smallmouth bass. That means the kings will be running strong this September for the first time since the collapse in 2021. Watch for fresh Chinook moving in—chartreuse spinners, plug-cut herring, and twitching jigs are your best bet. Cooler, higher flows from incoming tides will give you the edge[1]. Coho action was slow in Brookings, but looks much better north from Newport to Winchester Bay. Troll anchovy or herring behind flashers on the outgoing tide; if you’re using artificial, hoochies and Brad’s Cut Plug lures match the hatch. Remember, only hatchery coho are legal right now. The kings are thick but closed—so anything silver that takes a swipe at your gear needs to swim free[6]. Crabbing season just finished, but razor clam digging reopened north of Battery Point. If you’re chasing shellfish, target the minus tides at dawn and keep your bucket separate. Limit is 20 clams per digger, no size picking allowed—the first 20 are yours and they’re sweet this time of year[4]. Hot Spots: - Cape Lookout for lingcod and rockfish by boat or kayak—drop near the reef edges around mid-tide. - Nestucca Bay mouth for evening surfperch and early crabbing on the minus tide. Best Bait and Lures: - Halibut: Lead-head jigs tipped with herring or squid, glow skirts for deep drift. - Rockfish/Lingcod: Berkley Gulp twisters, shrimp flies, metal jigs (chart This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Use lead-head jigs tipped with herring or squid, and add a glow skirt for low light; the bite turns on during tide transitions, especially near slack[7]. Rockfish and lingcod are reliably hot near jetties, reefs, and the shallows off Cape Lookout and Three Arch Rocks. Berkley Gulp twister tails, shrimp flies, and metal jigs in chartreuse or motor oil work well. Keep it simple: drop, bounce, repeat. Lingcod favor bigger swimbaits or live greenling if you can wrangle one. The Sisters and the cans off Crescent City were called “on fire” by local boats this week—easy limits with a bit of patience[6]. Inshore and up the rivers, the story’s all about Chinook salmon. The Coquille River is on the edge of reopening any day, thanks to a massive tribal-led effort removing more than 45,000 invasive smallmouth bass. That means the kings will be running strong this September for the first time since the collapse in 2021. Watch for fresh Chinook moving in—chartreuse spinners, plug-cut herring, and twitching jigs are your best bet. Cooler, higher flows from incoming tides will give you the edge[1]. Coho action was slow in Brookings, but looks much better north from Newport to Winchester Bay. Troll anchovy or herring behind flashers on the outgoing tide; if you’re using artificial, hoochies and Brad’s Cut Plug lures match the hatch. Remember, only hatchery coho are legal right now. The kings are thick but closed—so anything silver that takes a swipe at your gear needs to swim free[6]. Crabbing season just finished, but razor clam digging reopened north of Battery Point. If you’re chasing shellfish, target the minus tides at dawn and keep your bucket separate. Limit is 20 clams per digger, no size picking allowed—the first 20 are yours and they’re sweet this time of year[4]. Hot Spots: - Cape Lookout for lingcod and rockfish by boat or kayak—drop near the reef edges around mid-tide. - Nestucca Bay mouth for evening surfperch and early crabbing on the minus tide. Best Bait and Lures: - Halibut: Lead-head jigs tipped with herring or squid, glow skirts for deep drift. - Rockfish/Lingcod: Berkley Gulp twisters, shrimp flies, metal jigs (chart This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 269 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI4226574867 Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with the Friday, August 8, 2025 fishing report for the Oregon Pacific. The sun came up today at 6:19 a.m. and will slip behind the horizon at 8:10 p.m., giving a long summer stretch to wet a line. As for the weather, coastal conditions are mild and mostly clear, with patchy fog in the morning fading to blue skies as the day wears on—perfect for getting out on the water. Today’s tides at Nestucca Bay roll in with a low at 7:16 a.m. at -0.7 feet, rising to a high at about 1:45 p.m. with a 5.6-foot swing, and back to a low at 6:30 p.m. around 3.2 feet. These swinging midsummer tides make for productive windows, especially morning and early afternoon for surf and jetty fishing, with offshore movement perking up right after the turn. The ocean salmon bite is still strong out of key coastal ports—Pacific City, Depoe Bay, and Newport have all reported hot coho action. According to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, selective coho season is open from Cape Falcon south, with an average of about 0.88 salmon per angler last week and top boats pushing over a fish per rod most days. Remember, Chinook retention is closed south of Cape Falcon, but fin-clipped coho are fair game up to two per person per day. Standard gear includes chartreuse or pink hoochies behind a flasher or cut-plug herring; UV flashers are especially effective on cloudier mornings. Albacore tuna chasers found solid luck offshore on those clear, calm stretches. Recent catches were best 25-40 miles out, trolling cedar plugs, silver jigs, and white swimbaits at surface temp breaks. Don't forget polarized glasses—you’ll spot birds working and maybe even jumpers. Tuna numbers aren’t like boom years, but when the warm water’s in, the action goes fast. If you’re after bottomfish, the offshore long-leader fishery remains open. Limits are generous with 10 mixed rockfish per angler—think canary, blue, deacon, bocaccio, and more. Lingcod are still being caught on nearshore reefs and headlands, especially at Haystack Rock and Three Arch Rocks. Large swimbaits, jigged scampi tails, and herring are the baits of choice. For the surf and jetty crowd, pile perch and greenling are solid on sand shrimp or Gulp sandworms. And for halibut, the central and southern Oregon coast subareas are open for all-depth fishing. As of mid-July, quotas are holding up, but expect pressure to stay high as long as the weather allows boats to get out. Use large herring, squid, or double-hook rigs bouncing near rocky structure or dropoffs. Two local hotspots worth your time: - Pacific City’s Nestucca Bay entrance for early coho action right as the tide turns. - The reefs straight off Depoe Bay for a mixed bag of rockfish and lings—get on the drift as the tide floods late morning. Wrapping it up, a few reminders: stay current on regulations—bag limits, species closures, and bar restrictions can change on short notice.

I’m Artificial Lure, checking in with your on-the-water report for August 6, 2025. Sunrise cut through low mist at 6:04 AM and sunset is coming up at 8:35 PM; plenty of daylight for chasing linesides, salmon, and rockfish. Weather on the water saw a morning warm front with southerly winds bumping up to 10-15 knots and a shifting sea—a solid 5 to 6 feet this morning, topping out closer to 7 by evening. A little rain early gave way to long, gray breaks, classic for this stretch of coast. Tidal rhythms today set up well for action. Nestucca Bay saw a low at just after 6 AM and the high at 12:39 PM, pushing bait into the estuaries and lighting up the nearshore bite as the first light hit. If you worked that incoming, it paid off, especially near river mouths and in the bays. Fishing-wise, the salmon bite is still hot and heavy all along the central coast. Reports from Depoe Bay noted plenty of action: lots of coho on and off the line, more than a few good Chinook, but expect to throw plenty back due to the adipose mark rules—hang in and you'll get your keepers. Boats out today often ran into ten or more salmon hits with limits common for determined crews, even though you'll have to weed through shakers and wilds. Don’t forget: salmon season shuts down August 24th but reopens September 1st—with fewer restrictions then. Bottom fishing remains rock solid. Most boats limiting their clients with a mix of black rockfish, widow and blue rockfish. The lingcod are a bit scattered but showing in respectable numbers, especially for folks fishing deeper reefs past 100 feet. The canary rockfish and other restricted species require careful sorting, so double-check your catch. Halibut still open with good odds outside, though quotas are tightening as the season progresses. Crabbing is nothing short of spectacular—one party today managed six totes full, most loaded to the handles with quality crab. Best lures and baits? If you’re chasing salmon, chartreuse hoochies, UV flashers and needlefish spoons were all putting fish on decks early. On calmer tides, small anchovies or herring behind a diver brought the big ones. For rockfish, soft plastics in motor oil or root beer worked wonders, while shrimp flies tipped with squid strips had even reluctant biters coming around. Lingcod went for large white or glow swimbaits bounced just above bottom structure. Top hotspots today: Garibaldi’s south jetty produced nice seabass and keeper-size lingcod close to the rocks, especially with slack before the afternoon ebb. Depoe Bay reefs and the mouth of Siletz Bay saw consistent salmon action through midmorning, and Tillamook Head west of Cannon Beach proved solid for boats willing to work the upwelling edges for bigger rockfish and the odd halibut. For halibut, stick to deeper sand flats off Pacific City. And don’t forget, crabbing along the inside channels at Netarts Bay is loaded right now, well worth an extr This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise came at 5:28 AM, and anglers can look forward to casting until sunset at 9:07 PM. Tides for Pacific City feature an early low at 5:05 AM (-0.9’), a midmorning high at 11:23 AM (5.4’), an afternoon low at 4:20 PM (2.6’), and topping off with a 10:19 PM high at a whopping 8.8 feet. These cycles suggest an extended mid-morning window for strong fish movement, especially as that high tide approaches, so plan your outings accordingly. After a spell of rougher ocean conditions, the weather has mellowed and forecasts call for continued fair, fishable seas into next week, according to Dockside Charters out of Depoe Bay. That’s been great news for local fleets, with limits of rockfish and near-limits on lingcod hitting the docks. Lingcod are biting aggressively on larger soft plastics like swimbaits, as well as classic lead-head jigs tipped with herring or squid. For rockfish, stick with shrimp flies, curly-tail grubs, and metal jigs in chartreuse or white. Don’t forget: cabezon are still off-limits until July 1, and yelloweye and quillback rockfish remain protected. Crabbing is hitting its yearly peak with averages of nine keeper crab per person on recent trips. For those targeting bottomfish, all-depth is open, and the daily bag limit for rockfish is holding at four, but increases to five per angler on July 1. Along the southern coast, Brookings Fishing Charters reports big catches on long-range trips to Point St. George Reef and Mack Arch—limits of lingcod, hefty rockfish, and a few hatchery coho salmon in the mix. Chinook salmon season is open from Cape Falcon south to the California border, with a daily limit of two salmon (but no coho retention right now). Most action for salmon has been around 40-80 feet down, especially around tide changes. Troll with hoochies in UV colors, cutplug herring, or flasher/spinner combos for the best shot at a take. Halibut season is open for the Central and Southern Coast subareas and fishing is best on soft tides or right around the high slack. Newport and Depoe Bay boats have reported moderate catches—target deep water and soak large herring or octopus. Hot spots this week include: - The reefs off Depoe Bay for top-tier rockfish and lingcod. - Point St. George Reef and Mack Arch out of Brookings for a chance at trophy lingcod. - The north jetty and mouth of the Nestucca for sunrise salmon runs and cross-tide rockfish action.

Sunrise hit the salt at 5:28am and sunset’s set for 9:06pm, giving us a long, full day to chase the tides. Speaking of which, Pacific City saw a low this morning at 4:08am, peaking high at 10:09am to 5 feet, dipping again in the mid-afternoon at 3:21pm, and capping off the evening with a big 8.3-foot high tide at 9:30pm. These full swings make for great movement in the water, just what you want for active fish near structure and estuary mouths. Weather today is classic early summer Oregon coast—morning fog burning off into sunny skies and west winds rolling in the afternoon, with a touch of chop but nothing you can’t work with. If you’re running offshore, pick your window and keep an eye on the breeze. Let’s talk catch. The ocean Chinook salmon season is wide open from Cape Falcon south to the California border, and you’re allowed two salmon per day, but coho are still a “no keep” out there for a bit longer. According to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, the ports of Depoe Bay have been the recent hot ticket, averaging just over one salmon per angler, with Garibaldi, Newport, Charleston, and Brookings all fishing a bit slower but still bringing home limits when the seas settle down. Halibut’s another story—open everywhere now, Central and Southern subareas are seven days a week with a pile of quota left. Brookings and Newport are seeing fish, but Depoe Bay’s got some of the best reports right now. If you’re chasing the big flat ones, focus on the 150- to 250-foot contour lines. Large white jigs, herring, and octopus skirts have all been producing. Lingcod and rockfish are the stars of the show on those nearshore reefs and pinnacles, especially on long-range trips out of Brookings. Rockfish limits are common, and the big lingcod are hanging tight to the boulders. If you’re hunting lings, toss large soft plastics or swimbaits in white, blue, or motor oil colors—fresh herring strips will do the trick too. Surfperch action is steady along beaches from Horsfall to Cape Blanco, with redtails around in good numbers. Sand shrimp, mole crabs, or good ol’ Gulp! sandworms have all been hot. Watch the surf and don’t turn your back on those sneaker waves. Hot spots to put on your list: Depoe Bay reefs for salmon and halibut, Brookings for rockfish and lings, and Pac City’s river mouth for surfperch on the incoming tide.

We’ve got a classic late-June morning shaping up. For those checking lines near Pacific City, sunrise is right at 5:28am, and you’ll have daylight all the way to 9:06pm. Tidal swings are solid: expect low at 4:08am (zero feet), high at 10:09am (five feet), another low at 3:21pm (just over two feet), and a robust evening high at 9:30pm (over eight feet), according to Tides.net. This sets you up for good early-morning and evening action, especially with that strong incoming tide before dark. Weather’s been stable—expect morning clouds breaking into sun, highs in the upper 60s, and a manageable northwest wind. Swells have been moderate, so smaller boats can get out, but always check local marine forecasts before launching. Let’s talk fish activity and what’s been caught lately. The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife notes halibut fishing is open and rolling with over 70% of the Central Coast quota still in play as of June 8. Depoe Bay anglers have seen above-average halibut action lately—over one fish per angler on good days, while Garibaldi and Newport are holding closer to half a fish per rod. Charleston and Brookings are a bit slower but still worth the effort if you can drift those deep flats. Ocean salmon season is heating up with Chinook available from Cape Falcon to the California border—remember, coho retention is closed for now, but that changes soon as the selective coho season (mark-selective fin-clipped) is also open until the earlier of August 24 or quota fill. Chinook are running strong, with a daily bag of two salmon (one Chinook, if you’re south of Humbug Mountain through July 15). Folks are putting solid numbers in the box, especially near Astoria’s Buoy 10 if you’re thinking about running north—Fast Action Fishing reports coho are already stacking up near the river mouth during high tides. Bottom fishing is a consistent option—Dockside Charters in Depoe Bay reported boat limits or near-limits on rockfish, along with plenty of lingcod and even some blackcod. Canary rockfish can be kept (one per angler daily), and cabezon season reopens July 1. Surfperch are a fantastic inshore target right now. Redtails are biting well on ocean beaches like Horsfall and Bullard’s Beach, and striped surfperch are coming from rocky shorelines. Sand shrimp, mole crabs, or artificial sand worms are the top baits—bring plenty and fish the incoming tide for best action. Hot spots to put on your list: - Depoe Bay for halibut and bottom fish—numbers have been great on those calmer days. - Astoria/Buoy 10 area for ocean salmon, especially on the big morning or evening tide. Best lures: - For salmon, run cut-plug herring, hoochies, and flashers in green or chartreuse—troll them deep early, then shallower as the sun gets up. - For halibut, classic spreader bars with herring This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Best lures: - For salmon, run cut-plug herring, hoochies, and flashers in green or chartreuse—troll them deep early, then shallower as the sun gets up. - For halibut, classic spreader bars with herring This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 270 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI6234438374 Good morning, anglers—this is Artificial Lure with your Friday, June 20th, 2025, Pacific Ocean Oregon fishing report. Sunrise hit at 5:36AM and you can expect the sun to stick around until 9PM, giving us a big window to get out there and enjoy these long coastal days. Tidal swings today at Coos Bay are notable: the early low at 3:46AM (0.83 ft), high at 9:45AM (4.76 ft), another low at 3:11PM (1.59 ft), then coming up strong for a late high at 9:48PM (7.38 ft). Plan your surf or jetty trips around those swing points—especially that big evening push for a dusk bite, which is always hot for rockfish and surfperch according to Tide Forecast. Weather’s classic June: cool mornings warming quickly, a little northwest wind building in the afternoon, and patchy marine layer likely to burn off by late morning. Dress in layers and keep an eye on sea conditions, as ocean weather last week provided only a handful of fishable days across most of the coast, per Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. Salmon action is picking up steam, and the ocean Chinook salmon season is currently open from Cape Falcon down to the Oregon/California border. The daily bag is two salmon (no coho retention at the moment), but there’s also a mark-selective coho season open in the ocean through August 24th or until quotas fill. Reports out of Brookings and Garibaldi show coho catches improving, and boats out of Depoe Bay averaged over one fish per angler last week—a real positive sign for summer trolling. Trolling with hoochies, cut plug herring, or green-and-blue flashers behind a diver has been the ticket for both kings and silvers, with most fish caught just outside the surf break or near river mouths. Pacific halibut remains open daily on the Central and Southern Oregon coast, with plenty of quota left—74 percent in most places per ODFW’s June 18 update. Catch rates vary, but Depoe Bay stood out with better than one keeper per rod last week. Your best bets here: big herring, octopus, or glow grubs on spreader bars, especially during the slack tides. Bottomfish are open all depth. Lingcod and rockfish remain steady, particularly after weather laydowns. Charter boats out of Brookings have reported full limits of lingcod and healthy rockfish hauls when the seas behave, using lead-head jigs with large swimbaits or live bait. For surfperch, it’s prime time along Bullard’s Beach, Horsfall, and Cape Blanco. Try sand shrimp, mole crabs, or Gulp! sandworms on a dropper rig right at the first gut. A couple of hot spots for today: - Depoe Bay for halibut and rockfish with its high catch rates and decent seas. - The surf zone near Horsfall Beach for redtail surfperch—morning incoming tide is best. That’s the pulse for your Friday run along the Oregon coast. Thanks for tuning in—remember to subscribe for daily updates and fresh intel.

We’re kicking off the day with prime summer conditions out on the north and central Oregon coast. Sunrise hit at 5:28am and you’ve got fishing light until sunset at 9:06pm. According to Pacific City tides, expect a low at 12:46am (2.3 ft), a high at 5:53am (5.7 ft), another low at 12:41pm (0.4 ft), and an evening high at 7:17pm (6.1 ft). That morning high tide is a sweet window for early bites, especially if you’re dropping in for salmon or bottomfish. Weather-wise, we’re looking at the usual June marine pattern: patchy fog to start, then clearing to partly sunny skies with temps in the low 60s, light winds building in the afternoon. That means calmer seas and safer crossings before lunch—perfect for the morning halibut run or a shot at salmon near the salt line. Fishing action has been lively. The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife reports summer steelhead are running in the Nestucca and Wilson Rivers, and ocean salmon season is open from Cape Falcon south to the California border. You can keep two salmon per day, but note that it’s closed to coho retention right now and your Chinook must be at least 24 inches. Angler effort last week was mixed: Depoe Bay saw good results, with over one halibut per angler on average. Garibaldi, Newport, and Charleston had slower halibut bite rates—about half a fish per angler—but those numbers are expected to rise with improving sea conditions and more bait in the water. Down in Astoria and the Buoy 10 area, the ocean bite for coho has been red hot recently, with anglers taking more than 70% of the offshore quota. While that could mean an early ocean closure, it also signals heavy salmon movement into the lower Columbia and estuary—so gear up for inshore action as well. For best results nearshore, locals are throwing anchovy-pattern swimbaits, chrome or chartreuse spoons, and herring trolled behind flashers for Chinook. Sturgeon anglers are sticking with sand shrimp and smelt. For your halibut fix, look to the central coast from Newport to Florence and drop heavy jigs or large herring on the morning tide changes. A couple hot spots to try: Hit the reefs off Depoe Bay for halibut and bottomfish, and target the jetties at Tillamook Bay’s North Jetty or Buoy 10 for salmon riding the incoming tide. Cabezon remains off-limits until July 1. Always double-check regs as quotas and openings can change quickly—visit the ODFW website before heading out. That wraps it for today’s Pacific bite.

Today, June 14th, 2025, the Oregon coast is buzzing with activity, especially for those looking to reel in some Pacific halibut and salmon. First off, let's talk about the weather. While ocean conditions were less than ideal last week, we're expecting a bit of a reprieve today. However, keep an eye on those seas, as they can get rough quickly. Now, let's dive into the tides. For Pacific City, the tides are as follows: high tide at 2:14 AM with a height of 7'5", and again at 4:36 PM with a height of 5'9". Low tides are at 9:53 AM with a height of -1'0", and 9:35 PM at 3'1". These tides can be quite influential on fish behavior, so plan your day accordingly. Sunrise today is at 5:27 AM, and sunset will be at 9:04 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out on the water. As for fish activity, Pacific halibut fishing opened on May 1, and the Central Oregon Coast and Southern Oregon subareas are open daily at all depths. Recent reports from ports like Depoe Bay and Brookings show some success, with Depoe Bay averaging over one fish per angler and Brookings managing about 0.25 fish per angler. For salmon, the all-salmon-except coho season is open from Cape Falcon to the Oregon/California Border, with a daily bag limit of two salmon. Coho salmon are abundant in the catch, especially out of the Port of Brookings Harbor, where coho, or silver salmon, are showing up in good numbers. When it comes to gear, using jigs and squid lures can be effective for halibut. For salmon, try using lures like spoons or plugs, and consider using bait like anchovies or herring. If you're looking for hot spots, Depoe Bay and Brookings are both worth checking out. The waters around Point St. George Reef Lighthouse are also expected to be productive, especially for lingcod and rockfish.

That’s a full day of fishing if I ever saw one. The tides are shaping up nicely for anglers: low tide at 9:53 AM with a minus tide dipping to -1’0”, a good time to hit those rocky spots for some bottom dwellers, then high tide rolls in again at 4:36 PM with a solid 5’9” swell. Weather-wise, it’s looking pretty decent, but don’t toss the windbreaker aside just yet. The past week has seen some choppy seas thanks to small craft advisories, but nothing that’ll keep you pinned to the dock today—just watch for those sudden wind gusts and keep an eye on the swell if you’re heading offshore. Now, what’s biting? Salmon fishing is solid along the Oregon Coast from Cape Falcon all the way down to the California border, with the main action focused on ocean Chinook and some straggling coho that need to be released. The Chinook minimum size is 24” and steelhead, if you’re lucky, is 20” according to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. The bite has been steady, with some boats hitting limits when the weather cooperates. Recent reports from charter captains and blogs like Fast Action Fishing mention that ocean fishing has been productive for Chinook, especially earlier in the week, although some anglers are releasing coho and “jacks” for now. Halibut season is in full swing since May 1st, with the Central Oregon Coast and Southern Oregon subareas open daily at all depths. Anglers out of Depoe Bay have been averaging more than one fish per angler, while newport and Garibaldi have been closer to half a fish per rod. Down south in Brookings, it’s a bit slower, but there’s still some halibut action if you’re persistent. For the best results, try jigging with herring or squid strips for halibut. Chinook salmon are hitting flashers paired with herring, spoons, and anchovie rigs. If you’re feeling adventurous, casting swimbaits and swim jigs around rocky outcrops can get you into some lingcod and rockfish, especially during low tide. Two hot spots I’d recommend today: start with the reefs just off Depoe Bay for halibut and salmon, then motor down to the mouth of the Nestucca near Pacific City for a shot at early season salmon and bottomfish. Both spots offer good structure and bait holds, especially with these tides.

Today’s date, June 13, 2025, and let’s dive right into your favorite fishing holes. First up, let’s talk tides. For Pacific City—that’s Nestucca River—sunrise is bright and early at 5:27am, and sunset’s a late 9:04pm, giving you a long day to get out there. High tide rolls in at 1:34am (7 feet 7 inches), low at 9:14am (-1 foot), another high at 3:55pm (5 feet 8 inches), and a final low at 8:47pm (3 feet 1 inch). These tidal swings are stacked for action, especially around the incoming and outgoing edges where the fish really turn on (Tides.net). Weather’s been flirting with us lately. Last week, ocean conditions were iffy, but we’re hoping for some calmer seas today. Always keep an eye on the wind and swell—Small Craft Advisories can pop up quick, and nothing ruins a perfect day like a mad ocean. According to recent forecasts, we’re looking at mostly clear skies for the weekend—great news for anglers itching to get out. Fish activity? The word on the docks is that ocean salmon season is wide open from Cape Falcon down to the California border. Chinook is the main target, with a 2-salmon daily bag and a minimum size of 24 inches. Coho is off the menu for now, but hatchery coho should be a go in some areas soon. Halibut’s in play, too, with all-depth fishing open along the Central and Southern Oregon Coast—Depoe Bay’s been hot, with over one fish per angler last week, while Newport and Charleston were a little slower (ODFW Marine Zone, Dockside Charters, The Guide’s Forecast). Bottomfishing’s on fire, especially out of Brookings. The fleet’s crushing limits of lingcod and big rockfish at Point St. George Reef Lighthouse—talk about world-class! Closer to port in Brookings, rockfish are biting strong, and a few halibut are hitting the deck. The reefs are stacked with vermilion, canary (limit one per angler), black, tiger, and more—mind your regs, keep the yelloweye and quillback in the drink (Brookings Fishing Reports). For lures, I’m high on big, flashy swimbaits and jigs for lingcod and rockfish—go with chartreuse, pink, or white for best results. For salmon, try hootchies, spoons, and cut-plug herring in blue or green, trolled at depth. Live anchovies or herring are the ticket for halibut and salmon—don’t be shy with the scent trail. Hot spots? Point St. George Reef near Brookings for trophy lingcod and rockfish. Depoe Bay for halibut and bottomfish—launch early and work the edges where the tide meets the structure. That’s the word from the coast. Thanks for tuning in—be sure to subscribe for more updates. Tight lines and good tides!

Let’s get straight to today’s conditions, current catches, and where to find your best bites. Today’s sunrise hit at 5:28 AM, with sunset set for 9:03 PM—plenty of daylight to work the water. The tides out of Pacific City are running a low of -0.1 feet at 7:58 AM, swinging to a high at 2:37 PM around 5.7 feet, then dropping again to a 3.1-foot low at 7:25 PM. These morning minus tides are perfect for bottom fishing and a little crabbing near the bays, but watch your timing as the currents can cut loose quickly according to Tides.net. Weather’s been a mixed bag this week. Yesterday’s stiff wind and chop kept boats at the dock out of Depoe Bay, and conditions remained fishable but a little sporty this morning—so double-check marine forecasts if you’re heading out. NOAA’s Small Craft Advisory was recently in effect, but seas are expected to subside later in the day. On to the fish: bottom fishing remains the bread and butter along the Oregon coast. Reports out of Depoe Bay say that when ocean conditions let folks out, nearly all boats were limiting on rockfish, with a strong showing from black, blue, and canary rockfish. Lingcod are biting well—numbers have been good, with most boats hauling in quality "perfect eating size" fish. Best results have come fishing jigs and swimbaits tipped with herring, though a white curly tail grub is always a local favorite. Crabbing stayed steady, averaging three to four keepers per pot. Halibut season is wide open, with the Central and Southern Coast subareas fishable at all depths daily. Depoe Bay has seen over one halibut per angler on lucky days, while Newport and Garibaldi are seeing just over half a fish per rod. Try bouncing large herring on spreader bars or octopus skirts on heavy gear near the bottom for your best shot, especially during the slack tide. Ocean Chinook salmon is now open from Cape Falcon south all the way to the California border, with coho retention closed this week. Minimum size for Chinook is 24 inches—troll anchovy rigs or herring behind a flasher, and stick close to the temperature breaks. According to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, catch rates have been fair, but always check your target port for recent updates. Hot spots right now include: - The reefs just west of Depoe Bay for easy limits of rockfish and a shot at lingcod. - The halibut grounds off Newport—especially productive on the edge of the 40-fathom line. - Heading south, Charleston has been slower but can turn on quickly near the deeper structure when the wind settles. Best bets for bait: herring for halibut and salmon, squid strips or scented plastics for rockfish and lingcod. If you’re chasing surfperch along the beaches, nothing beats sand shrimp or a chunk of clam on a size 2 hook. Thanks for tuning in to today’s Oregon coast fishing report.

These morning minus tides are perfect for bottom fishing and a little crabbing near the bays, but watch your timing as the currents can cut loose quickly according to Tides.net. Weather’s been a mixed bag this week. Yesterday’s stiff wind and chop kept boats at the dock out of Depoe Bay, and conditions remained fishable but a little sporty this morning—so double-check marine forecasts if you’re heading out. NOAA’s Small Craft Advisory was recently in effect, but seas are expected to subside later in the day. On to the fish: bottom fishing remains the bread and butter along the Oregon coast. Reports out of Depoe Bay say that when ocean conditions let folks out, nearly all boats were limiting on rockfish, with a strong showing from black, blue, and canary rockfish. Lingcod are biting well—numbers have been good, with most boats hauling in quality "perfect eating size" fish. Best results have come fishing jigs and swimbaits tipped with herring, though a white curly tail grub is always a local favorite. Crabbing stayed steady, averaging three to four keepers per pot. Halibut season is wide open, with the Central and Southern Coast subareas fishable at all depths daily. Depoe Bay has seen over one halibut per angler on lucky days, while Newport and Garibaldi are seeing just over half a fish per rod. Try bouncing large herring on spreader bars or octopus skirts on heavy gear near the bottom for your best shot, especially during the slack tide. Ocean Chinook salmon is now open from Cape Falcon south all the way to the California border, with coho retention closed this week. Minimum size for Chinook is 24 inches—troll anchovy rigs or herring behind a flasher, and stick close to the temperature breaks. According to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, catch rates have been fair, but always check your target port for recent updates. Hot spots right now include: - The reefs just west of Depoe Bay for easy limits of rockfish and a shot at lingcod. - The halibut grounds off Newport—especially productive on the edge of the 40-fathom line. - Heading south, Charleston has been slower but can turn on quickly near the deeper structure when the wind settles. Best bets for bait: herring for halibut and salmon, squid strips or scented plastics for rockfish and lingcod. If you’re chasing surfperch along the beaches, nothing beats sand shrimp or a chunk of clam on a size 2 hook. Thanks for tuning in to today’s Oregon coast fishing report.

Let’s dive in. First off, today’s sunrise over the salt was at 5:28am and sunset won’t come until a little after 9pm, giving you a long window to chase everything from salmon to lingcod. The marine forecast’s been a little dicey—rough seas kept boats tied up at Depoe Bay yesterday, but things are looking to calm down enough for folks to get out today. Always check the latest marine warning before launching. Tide-wise, we’re working with a morning minus tide, hitting around -0.1 feet at 7:58am and swinging up to a 5.7’ high at 2:37pm. That early low is prime for jetty hoppers and surf anglers working the pockets near the river mouths, especially around Pacific City and Newport. Let’s talk fish: bottom fishing’s still red hot. Last week, guides out of Depoe Bay reported rockfish limits all around. Lingcod are showing in great numbers too—most are “perfect eater” size, nothing huge but great on the grill. Crabbing is steady, with pots averaging 3-4 Dungeness each. Cabezon remains closed until July, and remember yelloweye and quillback rockfish are “no take” species. On the big game front, ocean Chinook salmon season is wide open from Cape Falcon to the California border. Daily bag is two salmon (no coho retention just yet), with Chinook minimum size at 24 inches. Halibut fishing’s solid, especially on all-depth days; Depoe Bay boats are averaging more than a fish per angler, while Garibaldi and Newport are landing a half fish per rod on average. Brookings has been slower, but persistence pays off. NOAA recently set the Oregon Central Coast halibut catch limit at 295,367 pounds, so plenty of opportunity remains. Your best bets for lures and baits today: - For rockfish and lingcod, heavy lead-head jigs with curly tail grubs, swimbaits, or a chunk of fresh herring do the trick—especially near the reefs off Depoe Bay and the jetties around Newport. - Salmon chasers should troll herring or anchovy behind a flasher, or bounce a hoochie in green/white. Early risers will get the first bite. - Halibut hunters, drop big spreader bars or pipe jigs tipped with herring or squid just off the bottom on the deeper humps west of Garibaldi and Newport. Local hot spots today: - The reefs off Depoe Bay and the Yaquina Bay north jetty for limits of rockfish and keeper lingcod. - Pacific City’s sandstone pinnacles and the “haystack” area deliver steady action for surfperch, especially at low tide. - Salmon hunters should work the troll lanes off the mouth of the Alsea River and Cape Foulweather. - For halibut, target the Stonewall Bank or the deep flats west of Garibaldi on an incoming tide.

We're looking at sunrise at 5:29 am with sunset at 9:00 pm, giving us plenty of daylight to get those lines wet. Tide-wise, we've got a low tide early morning, high tide mid-morning around 10:43 am at 4'9", another low at 4:01 pm at 2'2", and a nice high tide at 10:06 pm hitting 7'0". Perfect timing for those evening fishing sessions. Ocean conditions are improving after a rough patch earlier this week. The Small Craft Advisory has lifted, but always check the latest marine forecast before heading out. Fishing's been heating up all along the coast! Bottom fishing remains excellent with rockfish limits reported at most ports. Depoe Bay charters are bringing in rockfish limits consistently, with some nice lingcod in the mix. The daily bag limit is still 4 rockfish per angler, scheduled to increase to 5 fish starting July 1st. Remember, yelloweye and quillback rockfish are prohibited, and there's a one-fish sub-limit on canary rockfish. Halibut fishing has been productive with varying success by port. Depoe Bay anglers are averaging over one fish per angler, while Newport and Charleston are seeing about half a fish per angler. Brookings anglers are landing about a quarter fish per person. The all-depth halibut season is open daily in the Central and Southern Oregon subareas, while the Columbia River subarea is open Thursdays through Saturdays. Chinook salmon season is open from Cape Falcon to the California border with a two-salmon daily limit. Minimum size is 24 inches for Chinook, and remember, coho retention is closed. Catch rates for ocean salmon should improve considerably this month, so now's the time to get out there! For hot spots, try the waters off Depoe Bay for halibut and bottom fish – they've been consistently productive. Brookings Harbor has been yielding some nice black rockfish, with a personal best 24-incher reported on June 5th. Also, don't overlook the beaches for surfperch if the ocean's too choppy. Bait-wise, herring and anchovy rigs are working well for salmon. For bottom fish, shrimp flies tipped with squid or herring are the local go-to. Jigs in the 4-8 oz range in white, blue, or green have been taking nice lingcod. Remember to check the latest regulations at the ODFW website as in-season changes can happen quickly, especially with quota-managed fisheries like halibut and salmon.

We’re kicking off the morning with a classic coastal sunrise at 5:29 a.m., and you’ll have daylight until sunset at 8:59 p.m. It’s a great stretch for anglers looking to get in some evening casts. Today’s tides around Pacific City see a low at 4:00 a.m. (1.3 ft), high at 9:32 a.m. (4.8 ft), another low at 3:16 p.m. (1.8 ft), and a solid high again at 9:33 p.m. (6.1 ft), according to tides.net and regional tide tables. These mixed tides are prime for both nearshore and offshore action. Ocean and weather conditions have been a little up and down lately, but this week is shaping up for solid fishable windows, especially early mornings and late afternoons when the winds tend to back off. Recent reports from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife show that Depoe Bay and Garibaldi are producing well, with over one fish per angler on average at Depoe Bay, and about half a fish per angler at Garibaldi and Newport. Charleston is a bit slower, but boats out of Brookings are picking up a few fish with catch rates at about 0.25 per angler. Halibut is hot right now, with both inshore and all-depth seasons open across the Central and Southern Coast. Charters out of Depoe Bay and Newport have been reporting limits on deeper runs, especially for big lingcod and rockfish. Lingcod are chomping on larger swimbaits and flutter jigs, while black and canary rockfish are hitting shrimp flies, curly-tail grubs, and metal jigs. Salmon anglers, you are in luck! The ocean Chinook season is open from Cape Falcon down to the California border, with a two salmon daily bag limit (no coho retention right now). Chinook are being taken trolling herring or anchovy behind chartreuse or green flashers, especially during the outgoing tides in the mornings. Brookings Fishing Reports note catch rates are improving as we move into peak summer. For surf anglers, the minus tides have brought in big schools of surfperch to the beaches around Pacific City and South Jetty at Newport. Sand shrimp, clam necks, and Gulp! camo sandworms are working best. In the estuaries, spring chinook is still fair, with a few sea-run cutthroat trickling in. Spinners, small spoons, and natural baits like sand shrimp are top picks. Hot spots for today: - Depoe Bay reefs for lingcod and rockfish—try vertical jigging in 80–120 feet. - Brookings and Gold Beach for halibut and early-season Chinook—troll outside the kelp beds during incoming tides. Stay on top of regulations: yelloweye and quillback rockfish remain closed, and the cabezon season doesn’t open until July. Always check the latest ODFW updates before heading out.

The ocean is alive with activity this morning as we head into the first week of June. If you're looking to hit the water today, you'll want to know the Columbia River subarea remains open for Pacific halibut Thursdays through Saturdays at all depths, while the nearshore fishery runs Monday through Wednesday. The Central and Southern Oregon subareas continue to be open daily for all-depth halibut fishing, with the spring season running through July 31st. Halibut anglers have been seeing mixed results across ports. Depoe Bay has been the hot spot lately, with over one fish per angler on average. Newport and Charleston are reporting about half a fish per angler, while Brookings is running slower at around a quarter fish per angler. For salmon enthusiasts, the Chinook season continues from Cape Falcon to the Oregon/California border. The daily bag limit remains two salmon, with a 24-inch minimum for Chinook. Mark your calendars—this Saturday, June 7th, the ocean coho salmon season opens, which should provide excellent opportunities throughout the summer. Bottom fishing remains productive with a current daily bag limit of 4 fish per angler, scheduled to increase to 5 fish starting July 1st. Anglers targeting lingcod are finding success, particularly in deeper waters. Several boats out of Depoe Bay reported limits of big lingcod and near-limits of offshore rockfish late last week. For surf fishing enthusiasts, redtail surfperch are continuing their seasonal migration toward river mouths. Good catches have been reported along ocean beaches like Horsfall Beach, Bullards Beach, and near Cape Blanco. Hot spots this week: - Depoe Bay for halibut and bottom fish - The waters outside Newport for lingcod - Cape Blanco area for surfperch Tide-wise, we're seeing typical early June patterns with two high and two low tides daily. Always check your local tide tables before heading out, especially if you're exploring tide pools or fishing near jetties. Gear recommendations: For halibut, try large herring or squid rigs with circle hooks. Salmon anglers are finding success with flashers and hoochies in green and blue patterns. For bottom fish, jigs in the 4-6 ounce range tipped with squid continue to produce. Remember your limits and regulations—no retention of yelloweye, quillback rockfish, or cabezon until the season opens July 1st. The canary rockfish sub-limit remains at one fish per day.

We started the morning off with a classic coastal dawn—sunrise at 5:32 a.m., cool ocean-fresh air in the high 40s, and patchy clouds rolling off a steady northwest breeze. Anglers hit the water early, taking advantage of the ebb tide, with the morning low right around 7:00 a.m. and the afternoon high peaking just after 1 p.m., giving solid movement for most fish species. According to Oregon State Parks tide charts, highs today are over 8 feet with lows hugging 0.6 feet—prime conditions for surfperch and a variety of nearshore action. Out on the water, salmon anglers are making the most of the open Chinook season from Cape Falcon down to the California border. Last week, catches were modest due to rougher seas but picked up around Newport with about 0.3 Chinook per angler according to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. Focus has been on trolling herring and hoochies behind flashers at 60–100 feet in 120–200 feet of water. Heads up: coho retention is closed until June 7, but next week marks the kickoff of the coho hatchery season, with forecasts calling for a banner summer, especially south near Brookings where more than half a million hatchery coho are expected to surge through in coming weeks. Halibut action is on across the Central and Southern Oregon Coast, open all-depth every day right now. Newport posted just over one halibut per angler last week, with best results on herring or large swimbaits bounced near rocky pinnacles at 300–600 feet. Offshore trips out of Depoe Bay reported limits of big lingcod and near-limit catches of a mixed bag of rockfish using jigs like 6–8 ounce metal bars and swimbaits tipped with squid. Canary, yellowtail, and blue rockfish were the most common in the mix. Remember, yelloweye, quillback, and cabezon are all off-limits, so be sure to check those regs before you head out. Beach and jetty anglers are cashing in on the first big push of redtail surfperch, especially in the surf near Horsfall Beach, Bullards Beach, and the mouth of the Coquille. Sand shrimp, clam necks, or Gulp! sandworms have been hot baits. For hot spots, Newport’s North Reef and Depoe Bay’s outer reefs are producing great for both halibut and rockfish, while the beaches near Cape Blanco are loaded with surfperch right now. This week’s winning presentations for rockfish have been darker swimbaits and curly-tail grubs in motor oil and root beer colors, while salmon are still chasing chartreuse flashers and green label herring. For surfperch, stick to 2-inch sandworms in motor oil or camo. That’s your boots-on-the-dock update from Artificial Lure.

First light hit at 5:29 a.m. this morning along the central coast, with sunset set for 8:53 p.m. This means there’s a wide window for anglers to get lines in the water. Weather along much of the coast is classic late-spring: marine layer burning off by late morning, light winds around 5–12 knots, and seas a touch choppy but steady enough for small boats. Dress in layers, expect cool mornings, and watch for the northwest wind building into the afternoon. According to Oregon State Parks tide tables for the north and central coast, we’ve got a significant low tide in the late afternoon—around -0.2 ft at 7:19 p.m. in Tillamook Bay and -0.7 ft at 6:42 p.m. in Newport. Morning tide swings are moderate, so expect the bite to turn on through the incoming and outgoing slack water this afternoon. Fishing effort picked up in recent days after a patch of rough weather kept a lot of boats at the dock. The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife reports that, for ocean salmon, Chinook are open from Cape Falcon south to the California border. It’s a two-salmon daily bag (but no coho retention for now), with the best Chinook action last week out of Newport—average about 0.3 Chinook per angler, but expect that to improve as the weather stabilizes and more fish push in. Trolling herring or anchovy behind a flasher, or running Pro Trolls with chartreuse hoochies, is producing strikes. The halibut season has also kicked into gear, with the Central and Southern Oregon Coast subareas open daily at all depths. Newport was the standout last week, averaging just over a halibut per angler; Charleston lagged behind a bit at half a fish per person. Bait up with large herring or squid, or try big white grub jigs bouncing bottom around the 200–300 ft marks. Bottom fishing remains hot when weather allows. Dockside Charters in Depoe Bay and Brookings Fishing Charters both report near limits of "big" lingcod and solid bags of rockfish, with the deep reefs and nearshore structure giving up fish to swimbaits, large curly-tail plastics, and leadhead jigs tipped with squid. Remember, yelloweye and quillback rockfish are completely off limits, and canary rockfish is a one-per-angler sublimit. For those looking for a hot spot today, head to the reefs off Newport or the Point St. George Reef near Brookings—both are producing consistent lingcod and rockfish catches. The halibut bite is best in the 180–300 ft lanes west of Depoe Bay and Newport on the drift. To sum up: target salmon with flashers and green/blue herring, bounce big jigs for halibut, and work plastics or bait for lingcod and rockfish. Best times are morning through early afternoon, working the swing of the tides. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe for fresh local fishing intel.

We kicked off the morning with classic coastal conditions—cool and a bit overcast, with a gentle northwest wind drifting over the water and air temps starting in the high 40s. Sunrise was at 5:32 a.m., and anglers have a solid fishing window with sunset holding off until 8:54 p.m. Tides at Pacific City ran high in the early hours (2:44 a.m., 8.1 ft), followed by a minus low at 10:17 a.m. (-1.7 ft), then climbing back to a 6.2 ft high at 4:56 p.m. That mid-morning incoming tide has been reliably sparking action along reefs, sandbars, and the halibut grounds, so timing your outing for those tide swings is a good bet today according to tides.net and Oregon State Parks tide tables. Let’s dive into the action. Bottomfish are red hot right now from Depoe Bay to Newport. Boats are meeting their limits on rockfish—heavy bags of blacks, canaries, and blues, with plenty of fat lingcod finding their way to the filet tables. The halibut fishery, which opened May 1 statewide, is now in full swing. Newport saw catch rates pushing over one halibut per angler last week, with most folks heading home by noon. For bottomfish, root beer or motor oil pattern swimbaits, six-inch curlytail grubs, or strips of herring on a leadhead jig are the ticket. For halibut, you can’t beat a whole herring or a large squid bounced on a spreader bar about 400 feet down—keep it moving and keep the bait fresh for best results. Salmon season is open as well, with the all-salmon-except-coho fishery running strong from Cape Falcon down to the California border. Chinook are the main target—expect a 24-inch minimum—or steelhead at over 20 inches. Angling pressure has picked up, especially on the more fishable days, but the overall catch rate is still holding at around 0.3 Chinook per angler out of Newport per the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. If you’re headed offshore, try trolling whole herring or anchovy behind a green or chartreuse flasher for Chinook when the ocean lays down. For those looking to fish the jetties or bays, the North Jetty of Tillamook Bay is producing well for rockfish and kelp greenling, and lingcod are starting to show in better numbers as water temps settle. Tillamook Bay and the Nestucca estuary near Pacific City are your best bets for spring chinook this week, as low river flows are keeping fish in the bays and tidewaters. Quick recap of today’s hot spots: - Newport for halibut, rockfish, and steady salmon bites when the bar is open. - The North Jetty of Tillamook Bay for shore-based rockfish and lingcod. - Tillamook Bay and Nestucca estuary for spring chinook action. - Depoe Bay boats are still finding the bottomfish and halibut if you want a mixed bag.

The ocean's been a bit moody lately, but things are looking up for anglers hitting the water today. We've had a stretch of mixed conditions, but a few good fishable days have emerged between the rough patches. Ocean salmon fishing is open right now from Cape Falcon down to the California border. You can bag two Chinook per day (24-inch minimum), but remember coho are off-limits. Newport's been the hot spot lately with about 0.3 Chinook per angler, though effort's been light with folks targeting other species too[1]. Pacific halibut season is in full swing since May 1. If you're heading out from the Columbia River area, you can fish all depths Thursday through Saturday, with nearshore action Monday through Wednesday. The Central and Southern Oregon subareas are open daily for all-depth fishing[1]. Last reports show Newport producing just over one fish per angler, while Charleston's been running about half that rate. For those chasing spring Chinook, action's been slow to fair on the North Coast. Most activity is concentrated in Tillamook and Nestucca bays due to low river levels. The bays and tidewater areas are holding the majority of fish right now[3]. The North Jetty of Tillamook Bay (access through Barview County Park) has been picking up for rockfish and kelp greenling, with ling cod starting to show up in the catch[3]. If ocean conditions turn sour, don't forget the North Coast lakes which were recently stocked with good-sized, catchable trout. Many rivers and streams opened to trout fishing on May 22[3]. Bait-wise, herring rigs are working well for salmon, while chicken for halibut remains reliable. For rockfish, try jigs tipped with squid or shrimp. Hot spots today: Newport for halibut and salmon, Tillamook Bay's North Jetty for rockfish and possible ling cod, and Nestucca estuary at Pacific City for any spring Chinook holding in the bay. The ocean's been fishing better than the river lately, especially for keeping fish. Just last week, some lucky anglers were scoring early limits out in the big blue, with seven coho and one Chinook in the box[2]. Remember to check the quotas and regulations before heading out – they change frequently this time of year. Tight lines, and I'll see you on the water!

The Pacific is waking up to a classic late spring day. Sunrise was just after 5:30 AM with sunset expected around 8:45 PM. Morning conditions were cool and cloudy with light winds, and the forecast calls for scattered clouds clearing in the afternoon. We’ve had some rain over the past week, cooling water temperatures and keeping fish active closer to the surface. Tide-wise, we’re in the midst of a moderate swing today, with a morning incoming tide peaking mid-morning and the outgoing running through the afternoon. These current transitions have been key for dialing in bites near the jetties and inshore reefs. Chinook salmon season is open from Cape Falcon to the Oregon-California border, but last week’s rough weather limited most angling to Thursday and Friday. Newport saw the most action with roughly 0.3 Chinook per angler, and Depoe Bay and Charleston lagged behind due to low effort and tough conditions. Coho is still off-limits, so it’s all about the Chinook and the occasional steelhead, which must be 20 inches or longer to keep. Most productive lures have been green label herring trolled behind a flasher or hoochies in chartreuse and pink, working best around 40 to 80 feet down over deeper water[1]. Halibut opened May 1 and the central and southern coast is now open daily at all depths. Newport stands out again, with just over one halibut per angler on the best days last week. The most effective setups have been heavy jigs like Norwegian-style metals up to 16 ounces, paired with a chunk of herring or squid. Try to hit the deeper reefs in 150 to 250 feet just off the Newport and Depoe Bay bars for your best shot[1]. Closer to shore, North Jetty at Tillamook Bay is seeing an uptick in rockfish, kelp greenling, and some early season lingcod. Soft plastic swimbaits in white and root beer, as well as shrimp-tipped jigs, are fooling the most fish right now[2]. Bays and tidewaters like Tillamook and Nestucca are holding spring Chinook, which are slow to fair, but any push of rain or a strong high tide brings in fresh fish. Trolling spinners with a small herring strip or drifting eggs has been the winning ticket here. Latest reports show that trout are still active in coastal lakes if you want a break from the salt, with best action during the cloud cover periods[2]. Top hotspots for today: Newport for halibut and Chinook, North Jetty at Barview/Tillamook Bay for mixed rockfish and possible lingcod, and the mouth of Nestucca Bay for spring Chinook. That’s the word from the water. Good luck out there and tight lines. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The early bird got a real treat today, with sunrise around 5:35 AM and a sunset set for about 8:45 PM, giving plenty of daylight to chase after the big ones. Skies along the coast are mostly cloudy with moderate northwest winds picking up by midday and air temps sitting in the low 60s. Swells are moderate—watch for choppy conditions as the day goes on, especially by afternoon. Check the latest tide table for your launch, but expect a morning low and a rising tide through midday, which always helps fish activity near shore. For salmon anglers, Chinook season is open from Cape Falcon down to the California border, though coho is closed for now. Success has still been hit and miss this week due to some rougher weather days, but the best catches have been reported off Newport, with about 0.3 Chinook per angler. If you’re after salmon, troll herring or anchovy behind a flasher, or try a hoochie setup. Focus efforts from 80 to 150 feet of water just off the reef edges for your best chance, especially in the morning when the water’s a bit calmer. The bottomfish bite is solid. Lingcod and rockfish are showing up well on suitable days. Yesterday, charters out of Depoe Bay pulled in some nice lings and a healthy mix of black rockfish, with some limits hit early. For these guys, drop a lead jig or swimbait in white, rootbeer, or glow colors, or use a chunk of fresh herring or squid for bait. Canary rockfish are fair game now—just remember yelloweye and quillback are always off-limits. Flatfish action is steady for those focusing closer to the sandy bottoms. Halibut season is open and drawing good crowds. The best action has been reported out of Newport, with just over a fish per angler when boats could get out last week. If you’re halibut hunting, use large herring, salmon bellies, or octopus tentacles on a spreader bar rig, and soak them in 250 to 400 feet. Columbia River and Central Coast subareas are open at all depths, so there’s plenty of opportunity. Surfperch fishing continues to be productive along the beaches. Redtail surfperch are taking shrimp or sandworms at spots like Horsfall Beach, Bullards Beach, and near Cape Blanco. They’re easing toward the river mouths, so scout those transition zones. Hot spots today: Try the rock piles off Newport for both halibut and bottomfish, or the reefs near Depoe Bay for a solid lingcod bite. For surfperch, hit Bullards Beach or Cape Blanco near the river mouths. That’s all for now—tight lines, be safe out there on the Pacific, and send in those big fish photos!

Today dawned with a classic coastal spring chill. Sunrise hit the water at 5:34 AM and we’re looking at sunset around 8:45 PM, giving anglers a long window to chase fish. The weather is mild, mid-50s to 60s, with a light northwest wind building in the afternoon. Swells are currently steady and manageable, holding mostly under five feet, so ocean access is pretty fair for boats and shore anglers alike. Tides today play a big role—expect a high tide just after sunrise and the next low by midday, making the hours around the morning and evening slack tides prime for action, especially if you’re targeting surfperch, salmon, or bottomfish. Remember, fish like surfperch and herring follow the incoming tide into estuaries and bays, so time your efforts accordingly[1]. Lingcod and a variety of bottomfish are biting well all up and down the rocky shores, with reports of solid limits coming in from spots like Cape Arago, Simpson Reef, and north up toward Depoe Bay. Most anglers are scoring lingcod on simple setups: jig heads with curly-tail or paddle-tail rubber swimbaits in white, motor oil, or root beer color. For rockfish, smaller metal jigs and shrimp flies in pink or chartreuse are top picks[1][3][4]. Surfperch fishing is heating up as they move toward river mouths. Beaches around Horsfall, Bullards, and close to Cape Blanco are producing big redtail perch, especially on sand crab, shrimp, or gulp sandworm baits. A light spinning rod with a carolina rig is the local favorite here. Fish the nearshore troughs on an incoming tide for best results[3]. Salmon seasons are in a transition. From Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, you can keep two salmon a day, but coho must be released until the selective season opens June 7. King salmon fishing out of Brookings just opened and early reports are promising, with trollers picking up quality Chinook on anchovy or plug-cut herring trolled behind flashers in 60 to 120 feet of water. Look for bird activity and bait balls to find feeding salmon[2][3][5]. Halibut season kicked off in May and plenty of quota remains for the Central Oregon Coast. Boats working deep gravel and flat spots off Newport and Winchester Bay are seeing some steady action using large herring, squid, or octopus. If you’re patient and willing to run out to 200+ feet, your odds are solid[3][4]. Hot spots this week: Depoe Bay for bottomfish and lingcod, Horsfall Beach for surfperch, and offshore Brookings for spring kings and early halibut. Stay safe out there, check your tides, and remember your measuring stick for lingcod. Good luck and tight lines from your local source, Artificial Lure.

A light spinning rod with a carolina rig is the local favorite here. Fish the nearshore troughs on an incoming tide for best results[3]. Salmon seasons are in a transition. From Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, you can keep two salmon a day, but coho must be released until the selective season opens June 7. King salmon fishing out of Brookings just opened and early reports are promising, with trollers picking up quality Chinook on anchovy or plug-cut herring trolled behind flashers in 60 to 120 feet of water. Look for bird activity and bait balls to find feeding salmon[2][3][5]. Halibut season kicked off in May and plenty of quota remains for the Central Oregon Coast. Boats working deep gravel and flat spots off Newport and Winchester Bay are seeing some steady action using large herring, squid, or octopus. If you’re patient and willing to run out to 200+ feet, your odds are solid[3][4]. Hot spots this week: Depoe Bay for bottomfish and lingcod, Horsfall Beach for surfperch, and offshore Brookings for spring kings and early halibut. Stay safe out there, check your tides, and remember your measuring stick for lingcod. Good luck and tight lines from your local source, Artificial Lure.

Sunrise was at 5:34 AM and sunset will be at 8:39 PM so there is plenty of daylight to get in on the bite. Tides are moderate with a low around 8 AM and the next high coming in just before 2 PM making the mid-morning and early afternoon some of your best fishing windows today. Weather is classic late spring coastal fare with overcast skies keeping it cool early then breaking up for sun by midday and light winds out of the northwest—perfect for working those reefs and jetties. Fish activity has been hot in several categories. Lingcod are still on fire out of Brookings especially, with charter boats bringing in full limits. Rockfish are also coming up in good numbers including blacks, blues, and the occasional canary. Salmon fishing is picking up out of the southern ports as good numbers of coho are showing up in the catches alongside steady king salmon action. And if you are after halibut, the recent opener has brought solid catches along the central coast with effort peaking on those calm weather days[4][5]. For best results on bottomfish, you can’t beat a white or motor oil swimbait for lingcod around rocky pinnacles and reefs, especially when worked early in the tide. Shrimp flies tipped with strips of squid or herring are pulling in mixed bags of rockfish. Salmon trollers are having success with hoochies and cut-plug herring behind flashers, with green or chartreuse being the hot colors in the morning switching to more muted tones as the sun gets higher. For halibut, large herring or octopus on spreader bars dropped deep are the ticket, especially on the slower parts of the tide[1][4][5]. Hot spots for the day include the reefs just out from Port Orford and the productive waters off Brookings for both big lingcod and salmon. The mouth of the Siuslaw River is holding a good mix of feeder kings and coho close to shore, while Depoe Bay’s nearshore rocky structure is loaded with hungry rockfish. Catch sizes are looking strong—lots of lingcod in the 10 to 20 pound range, rockfish limits coming easy, and salmon pushing 12 to 18 pounds with a few much bigger kings showing up in the mix. Halibut running from chicken-size up to 40 pounds have been landed for those willing to chase them offshore. That’s your Oregon Pacific fishing report for today. Lines tight and keep those hooks sharp—there’s plenty of action out there. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Tidal swing today is moderate with an early morning high tide giving way to a dropping tide by midday, making the morning hours a prime window for chasing salmon and bottomfish. Weather’s looking classic coastal spring: cool and partly cloudy, with a light west breeze building in the afternoon. Sunrise was at 5:37 am and sunset will be 8:37 pm, giving us a long day to work the water. Ocean Chinook salmon season is open from Cape Falcon down to Humbug Mountain right now, with a daily bag limit of two salmon, but remember it’s closed to coho retention at the moment. Most folks are running deep-diving plugs or hoochies behind flashers to coax up those king salmon. With water temps around 52 degrees, trolling 30-60 feet down has been producing best, especially near drop-offs and current seams. Down Brookings way, the port is reporting lots of coho showing up in the catch, and the king bite’s slowly coming on, so be ready for some mixed-bag action if you’re trolling the southern coast[4][1]. Halibut opened May 1 and is running strong along the central and southern coast. Depoe Bay, Newport, and Charleston all saw good halibut success this past week, averaging just over one fish per angler. Garibaldi and Brookings were a bit slower, with few reports of fish landed. If you’re targeting halibut, go big with herring or large salmon bellies on a spreader bar bottom rig, and try to be on anchor during the slack tide windows for best results[1][2]. Lingcod and rockfish fishing has been hot, with full limits common over the past couple weekends, especially out of Brookings and around the reefs near Port Orford. Swimbaits in blue and white or rootbeer have been killer, along with large jigs tipped with squid or cut bait. Lingcod have been aggressive, hanging close to rocky structure and biting best on a slow retrieve[4]. For hot spots, try the reefs just west of Depoe Bay and the Point St. George Reef Lighthouse area for a mix of big rockfish, lingcod, and halibut. The nearshore waters off Charleston are another solid bet, particularly for bottomfish. To sum up: the bite is on for lingcod and rockfish, halibut action is solid in central and southern ports, and salmon season is ramping up, with kings showing in catches and lots of coho down south. Best bet is to get out early, take advantage of the morning tide, and bring your A-game lures—hoochies and spoons for salmon, herring or big jigs for halibut, and swimbaits for those aggressive lingcod. Good luck out there and tight lines. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The salmon season is in full swing with the ocean Chinook fishery open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain. You can keep two salmon per day, but remember coho retention is closed right now. Those Chinook need to be at least 24 inches to take home. Good news is the selective coho season starts soon on June 7th, so mark your calendars. Pacific halibut action opened earlier this month on May 1st, and the reports have been promising. If you're heading out of Depoe Bay, anglers are averaging over 1.5 fish per person, while Newport and Charleston are seeing just over 1 fish per angler. The Columbia River subarea is open Thursdays through Saturdays at all depths, with the nearshore fishery running Mondays through Wednesdays. Both the Central and Southern Oregon subareas are open daily for all-depth fishing. For those targeting bottomfish, it's open to all depths year-round now. Don't forget about the offshore longleader fishery outside the 40-fathom line with a daily bag limit of 10 fish and a sub-limit of one canary rockfish. Surfperch fishing has been decent with the smaller ocean swells lately. Try hitting Horsfall Beach, Bullards Beach, or the area near Cape Blanco. Those redtails are starting to transition toward river mouths, so keep that in mind over the next couple months. Hot spots: Point St. George Reef along the California-Oregon border just reopened and should be absolutely on fire for giant lingcod and rockfish. Brookings is also reporting spectacular lingcod action with charter boats limiting out consistently. Bait and lures: For salmon, herring is always a good bet, but don't overlook anchovy rigs when the bite gets tough. For halibut, salmon bellies and octopus are producing well. Surfperch anglers are having luck with Berkley Gulp sandworms and small pieces of shrimp. The lingcod bite is as good as it's been all year, so if you're targeting those toothy predators, try large jigs in the 8-12 oz range with twin tail plastic grubs in white or chartreuse. Weather looks decent today with moderate swells, but as always, check the latest marine forecast before heading out. We're gaining daylight every day, so take advantage of those longer fishing hours. That's it for today's report. Remember to sign up for in-season salmon updates so you don't miss any regulation changes. This is Artificial Lure signing off until next time. Tight lines!

Artificial Lure here with your Sunday fishing report for the Oregon coast. The ocean's calmed down nicely after that system moved through midweek, and we're looking at a decent day out there. Sunrise was around 5:40 AM, and we'll have light until about 8:45 PM, giving you plenty of time on the water. Halibut action has been steady since the season opened on May 1st. Folks out of Depoe Bay are averaging 1.5 fish per angler, while Newport and Charleston anglers are pulling in about 1 fish per person. Brookings has been slower, with fewer boats venturing out and limited catches reported. Remember, the Columbia River subarea is only open Thursday through Saturday for all-depth fishing, with nearshore Monday through Wednesday. The Central and Southern subareas remain open daily for all-depth fishing. Salmon fishing is heating up! The Chinook season (all-salmon-except-coho) is currently open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, with a two-fish daily limit. Fish must be at least 24 inches for Chinook. Down in Brookings, they're starting to see more coho showing up in catches, which is promising for the coming weeks. Rockfish action has been decent at Depoe Bay, with anglers landing about 2.5 fish per trip, mostly blacks and deacons. Lingcod fishing has been on the slower side, with about half a fish per angler coastwide, but reports from early April indicated some phenomenal lingcod action that should be improving now. For bait and tackle, I'm hearing herring rigs and combo flasher/hoochie setups are working well for salmon. For halibut, try large herring or salmon bellies on a circle hook with a spreader. Rockfish are hitting on shrimp flies tipped with squid, while lingcod can't resist a live greenling or large jig bounced near structure. Hot spots to try: Point St. George Reef near the California-Oregon border reopened earlier this month and should be loaded with untouched lingcod. For halibut, try working the 30-40 fathom lines off Newport. Salmon trollers are finding success between Depoe Bay and Yaquina Head. Remember the regs: daily rockfish limit is 4 fish per angler (increasing to 5 on July 1), with a sub-bag limit of 1 canary. Yelloweye and quillback rockfish are prohibited. Lingcod limit is 2 fish with a 22-inch minimum length. Tight lines, folks! This is Artificial Lure signing off – maybe I'll see you out on the water today!

Today kicked off with a brisk ocean breeze and classic spring weather—not too hot, not too cold—setting the scene for anglers all up and down the coast. Sunrise was around 5:38 AM with sunset expected at 8:43 PM, giving us plenty of daylight for those long drifts and tide shifts. Tide-wise, we have moderate movement today, with the morning high just after daybreak and an outgoing tide through late morning. These conditions have really turned on the bite in nearshore zones, especially around the headlands and reefs where baitfish are schooling up. Salmon season is currently open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain. Chinook is the main target since coho are off-limits for retention right now. A few decent Chinook have been reported coming from waters off Newport and Depoe Bay, with persistent trollers putting a couple of solid fish on deck per trip. Herring and anchovy behind a flasher are the go-to rigs, but if you’re keen on artificials, try a deep-diving plug or a white hoochie—both have picked off some good fish this week. Pacific halibut opened earlier this month and action’s been fair to good depending on where you set up. Depoe Bay and Newport have seen over one fish per angler on average, especially for those anchoring up on deeper reefs with large herring, squid, or even big jigs bounced tight to the bottom. Garibaldi and Brookings were quieter, with fewer boats braving the conditions and not much action reported dockside. Lingcod and rockfish are still running strong, especially on the slack tide windows. The best lures have been heavy lead-head jigs tipped with swimbaits in root beer or white, or classic pipe jigs jigged deep. Fresh bait like squid or herring will out-fish plastics on some days, especially when the bite gets picky. Shallow reefs off Depoe Bay and the rocky structure near Yaquina Head are producing limits of black rockfish with some chunky lings mixed in. A couple of hot spots to try right now: the reefs just south of Depoe Bay are holding a mix of halibut and bottomfish, while the classic salmon troll runs off Newport’s South Jetty are seeing some steady Chinook action. If you’re up for a bit of a trip, Charleston’s outer reefs have been another solid bet for a mixed bag of groundfish.

Today marks the opening of the Ocean Chinook salmon season from Humbug Mountain to the Oregon/California border, and let me tell you, the excitement on the docks is palpable this morning! The weather's looking decent for mid-May with light westerly winds expected to pick up in the afternoon. Get out early to catch that glassy morning water. Sunrise was at 5:47 AM and we'll have light until about 8:32 PM, giving you plenty of time on the water. Salmon action is the big story today. The all-salmon-except-coho season is now open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain with a daily bag limit of two salmon. Remember those size restrictions: 24 inches minimum for Chinook and 20 inches for steelhead[1]. Down at Brookings Harbor, they're starting a 37-day king salmon season today that runs through June 6th before taking a short break[4]. The Columbia River hatcheries have produced a bumper crop of coho this year, with nearly half a million fish expected off our coast this summer, though you'll need to wait until June 7th to target them legally. Pacific halibut fishing opened on May 1st and reports have been promising. Boats out of Depoe Bay are averaging over 1.5 fish per angler, while Newport and Charleston are reporting just over 1 fish per angler. Garibaldi's been slower, with no fish observed dockside during the most recent survey[1]. For you salmon chasers, the hot spots today will likely be just outside Brookings Harbor where the kings have been staging, and the waters between Cape Lookout and Cascade Head where the upwelling's been creating perfect feeding conditions. Herring rigs with a green flasher have been the ticket, though some locals are swearing by anchovy cut-plugs in the early morning hours. For halibut, the reefs northwest of Newport in 120-180 feet of water are producing nicely. Stick with the classic salmon belly strips or large herring on a circle hook. Some of the old-timers are doing well with white or glow-in-the-dark octopus jigs tipped with herring. Tides today show a high at 9:14 AM of 7.2 feet and a low at 3:22 PM of 0.8 feet, making for a good morning bite during the incoming push. Remember to sign up for those in-season adjustment notifications to stay on top of any changes[1]. Nothing worse than heading out unprepared!

The sun rose early this morning around 5:45 AM and we'll have daylight until about 8:40 PM, giving you plenty of time on the water today. Weather's looking decent along the coast with mild temperatures hovering in the low 60s. There's a light westerly breeze, so the ocean should be fairly calm for boat anglers. Tide's coming in through mid-morning with high tide around 11 AM, then ebbing through the afternoon. Salmon fishing is in full swing, folks! The ocean Chinook season is open from Cape Falcon down to Humbug Mountain with a daily limit of two salmon per person. Remember, no coho retention allowed, and those Chinook need to measure at least 24 inches. Folks have been having decent luck trolling herring or anchovy cut plugs at 30-45 feet. Flashers with green or blue hoochies are working well too. Pacific halibut season opened up May 1st, and the reports are mighty encouraging. Depoe Bay anglers are averaging 1.5 fish per rod, while Newport and Charleston are seeing just over 1 fish per angler. Brookings has been slower with fewer boats out and halibut being a bit elusive. For you halibut hunters, try large herring rigs or white jigs tipped with salmon belly or octopus. Rockfish action remains steady with anglers pulling in about 2 fish per trip out of Brookings, mostly black and blue rockfish. Lingcod daily limit remains at 2 fish with a 22-inch minimum length. For you bank anglers, jetties are producing some nice greenling and the occasional lingcod. Try using sand shrimp or squid strips for best results. Some locals have been doing well with 3-inch curly tail grubs in white or motor oil colors. Hot spots this week include the reefs just north of Newport for rockfish, the 180-200 foot depths off Depoe Bay for halibut, and the waters around the Umpqua River mouth for salmon trollers. Trout fishing is excellent in both coastal lakes and rivers right now with good May hatches. Those looking for a break from saltwater action should give it a try. Remember to check quota status before heading out, especially for halibut and salmon. Sign up for those in-season adjustment notifications on the ODFW website so you're always in the know. That's the skinny for today, folks. This is Artificial Lure saying tight lines and see ya on the water! Now get out there and catch some dinner!

Folks, we're seeing some mighty fine action out on the waters today! Pacific halibut season is in full swing since it opened May 1, and anglers are having good success across most ports. Depoe Bay has been the hot spot with anglers averaging over 1.5 fish per person, while Newport and Charleston are both reporting about 1 fish per angler. Garibaldi has been slower with no fish observed in port recently, and Brookings has had limited participation. Ocean Chinook salmon season is currently open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain with a daily limit of two salmon (except coho), with a 24-inch minimum for Chinook. If you're looking to target salmon south of Humbug Mountain, you'll need to wait until May 16 when that area opens up. Mark-selective coho season starts June 7, so not much longer to wait for those silver bullets. For bottom fish enthusiasts, fishing is open at all depths year-round. If you're looking for a change of pace, try the offshore longleader fishery outside the 40-fathom line - you can take home 10 fish with a sub-limit of one canary rockfish. The lingcod bite has been absolutely spectacular lately, especially down Brookings way. Charter boats there have been limiting out consistently when weather permits. Point St. George Reef along the California-Oregon border just reopened May 1 after being closed since last fall, and those waters are producing monster lingcod and rockfish. Bait-wise, herring is always reliable for salmon trolling this time of year. For halibut, try large herring, squid, or octopus. Bottom fishermen are scoring well with jigs tipped with squid strips. Hot spots right now include: 1. Depoe Bay for halibut - fish have been consistently biting at 120-180 feet 2. Point St. George Reef for lingcod - these waters have been rested since last fall and the bite is on fire 3. About 15 miles offshore from Newport for quality Chinook salmon The Columbia River subarea halibut fishery is only open Thursdays through Saturdays for all-depth fishing, while the nearshore fishery runs Mondays through Wednesdays. Central Oregon Coast and Southern Oregon subareas are open daily for all-depth halibut fishing. Remember to check quota status before heading out, especially for halibut and salmon. You can sign up for in-season adjustment notifications online to stay current on any regulation changes. That's the scoop for today, anglers.

It's a fine May day here on the Oregon coast, and the fishing's been heating up along with the weather. Ocean Chinook salmon season is in full swing from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, with a daily limit of two salmon (except coho), minimum 24 inches for Chinook and 20 inches for steelhead[1]. These beautiful fighters have been putting up a good show, especially for those willing to put in the early dawn hours. This particular season wraps up in just four days on May 15th, so get out there while you can[3][5]. Pacific halibut opened on May 1st, and the reports have been mighty encouraging. If you're heading out of Depoe Bay, expect excellent action with anglers averaging over 1.5 fish per trip. Newport and Charleston have also been productive with just over 1 fish per angler. Interestingly, Garibaldi has been slower with no fish observed dockside last report, and Brookings has seen limited activity[1]. For halibut, remember the Columbia River subarea is open Thursdays through Saturdays at all depths, with the nearshore fishery running Mondays through Wednesdays. The Central and Southern Oregon subareas are open daily for all-depth fishing[1]. For you salmon chasers, traditional herring rigs in green or blue label have been working their usual magic. Those trolling with cut-plug herring at 30-45 feet have been finding success, especially during the first two hours after sunrise. Some locals have been scoring with white or chartreuse hoochies behind flashers as well. Hot spots this week include waters about 8 miles northwest of Newport for halibut, while salmon have been holding around the 120-foot depth contour off Depoe Bay. The waters just north of the Tillamook Bay entrance have also been producing for those targeting Chinook. Remember that the summer and fall salmon seasons, starting May 16th, are still being determined, but there's hope we'll have opportunities for both Chinook and Coho, especially around Tillamook and Newport[5]. For those planning ahead, sunrise today is about 5:45 AM with sunset around 8:30 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work the water. Tides are moderate with a morning high and afternoon low - perfect for a full day on the ocean. Don't forget your crab pots if you're heading out of Newport or Charleston - the Dungeness have been filling traps nicely as a bonus to a day of fishing. Tight lines, friends! This is Artificial Lure signing off until next week. Remember, the worst day fishing is still better than the best day working!

We started out with classic coastal spring weather: partly cloudy skies, a chilly northwest wind, and air temps in the high 40s at sunrise. The tide swung low at dawn around 6:30 am and is set for a mid-morning incoming, which has been firing up the bite along the nearshore reefs, jetties, and halibut grounds. Sunrise was at 5:45 am, with sunset coming up at 8:28 pm, giving us a nice long fishing window today. Action for bottomfish is hot right now. Boats out of Depoe Bay and Newport this week have been coming in heavy with limits of rockfish and lingcod, with some nice halibut starting to roll in since the opener on May 1. Yesterday’s trips saw a full spread of blacks, canaries, blues, and the occasional chunky lingcod at the filet tables. Halibut anglers are getting limits and heading home before noon most days. Remember, yelloweye and quillback rockfish must be released, so double-check your catch before bagging up. For rockfish and lingcod, you can’t beat root beer or motor oil swimbaits, large curlytail grubs, or a strip of herring on a leadhead jig. For halibut, go deep with whole herring or large squid on a spreader bar rig and keep it bouncing on the bottom for your best shot at a doormat. Salmon fishing for Chinook is open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain. The bite has been slow with tough ocean conditions last week, but today’s calmer forecast and the incoming tide could spark some improvement. Troll with anchovy or herring behind a flasher if you’re hunting salmon, and keep an eye out for birds working bait balls—especially around the 40 to 60 foot depth line. Coho is closed, so make sure to double-check your salmon before putting it on ice. On the north coast rivers like the Trask and Wilson, a few spring Chinook and some early summer steelhead are starting to show, though numbers are still low and pressure is light. If you venture into the bay, try bobber and bait, tossing spinners, or running plug-cut herring near the mouth. Hot spots today are the reefs just outside Newport and the halibut grounds off Depoe Bay, as well as the north jetty at Tillamook Bay for surfperch or a mixed bag of rockfish. The mouth of the Yaquina Bay is also a solid option for those looking to stay closer in and pick up a variety of species. Overall, fishing is picking up with the spring tides and halibut opener. Remember to check regulations before you head out and good luck out there. Tight lines! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Another beautiful day here on the Oregon Coast. Today's lookin' promising for those of you itchin' to get out on the water. The halibut season that kicked off on May 1st is still going strong. Reports from the first week show limits being reached quick - some boats even filling up and heading back by noon. The Columbia River subarea is open Thursday through Saturday for all-depth fishing, with nearshore fishing Mondays through Wednesdays. If you're hitting the Central or Southern Oregon subareas, you're in luck - they're open daily for all-depth fishing[1][2]. Ocean Chinook salmon season is ongoing from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain with a two-salmon daily limit (no coho). Fish need to measure at least 24 inches. Last week's rough ocean conditions slowed things down, but with calmer seas predicted this weekend, expect better action. Spring Chinook are also starting to show up on the North Coast rivers, so keep that in mind for your fishing plans[1][3]. Bottomfish action remains solid year-round with the daily bag limit at 4 fish per angler. Remember that yelloweye and quillback rockfish are off-limits, and you're limited to one canary rockfish. Lingcod fishing has been productive with a 2-fish limit (minimum 22 inches). Flatfish enthusiasts can take home up to 25 fish per angler[5]. For river fishing, the Trask is seeing some early spring Chinook action. The hatchery run should be picking up soon. The Salmon/Steelhead Bobber Fishing Rule is in effect now for certain sections. Over on the Wilson, summer steelhead should be starting to show, though catch reports have been sparse so far[3]. For bait, herring and anchovies are working well for salmon trolling. When targeting halibut, try fresh squid or herring on a circle hook with a heavy weight to keep it on the bottom. Jigs in white or glow-in-the-dark have been effective too. For rockfish and lingcod, shrimp flies tipped with bait or metal jigs are getting it done. Hot spots this weekend: The waters off Newport have been productive for halibut. For salmon, try between Depoe Bay and Yaquina Head. Tidewater sections of the Trask are worth a shot for those early spring Chinook. Tide's running high at 6.8 feet around 11:30 this morning, with a low of 0.3 feet at 5:45 PM. Sunrise was at 5:52 AM and we'll see the sun dip down at 8:27 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to fill those coolers.

The weather along the coast is classic spring—cool mornings in the mid-40s climbing to the upper 50s, with patchy clouds and a mild westerly breeze expected later in the day. Sunrise came at 5:45 AM and sunset will be at 8:28 PM. Tides are moderate today, with a mid-morning incoming giving way to an early afternoon high—ideal for targeting both bottomfish offshore and surf perch along the beaches. The big headline is the Pacific halibut opener, and the bite has not disappointed. Boats heading out of Depoe Bay, Newport, and Garibaldi have been landing quick limits of quality halibut. Best action has been on the deeper edges of the reefs from 200 to 300 feet of water. Lingcod are also coming in strong, with limits common for most charters—these fish are aggressive right now and hitting deep jigs and large swimbaits over rocky structure. Canary and black rockfish are thick on the reefs but remember, yelloweye and quillback rockfish must be released if caught[5][2]. Salmon season is open for Chinook from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, although rougher seas last week meant effort was low and catches have been spotty so far this spring. With improving weather, expect things to pick up. The current minimum size for Chinook is 24 inches, and coho retention is not allowed at this time[1][4]. On the North Coast, look for fresh spring Chinook to start nosing into tidewaters of the Trask and Wilson any day now, but action has been slow so far. Rockfish, kelp greenling, and surf perch are picking up near jetties and sandy stretches[3]. Your best lures right now offshore are large white or glow grub jigs and heavy metal jigs tipped with herring or squid, which are the ticket for both halibut and lingcod. Nearshore, fresh sand shrimp and clam necks are drawing in surf perch, while root beer or motor oil curly-tail plastics work well for rockfish. Hotspots today include the reef edges off Depoe Bay for halibut and lingcod, and the north side of the Yaquina Bay jetty for a mixed bag of bottomfish and surf perch. For salmon, try trolling herring or anchovy behind flashers between Cape Foulweather and Siletz Bay to intercept those early Chinook.

Artificial Lure here with your Oregon Coast fishing report for Monday, May 5th, 2025. The Pacific halibut season is off to a hot start since opening on May 1st. Over in Depoe Bay, boats were limiting out on halibut and lingcod on opening day and home by noon! The Columbia River subarea is open Thursdays through Saturdays for all-depth fishing, with the nearshore fishery running Mondays through Wednesdays. Central and Southern Oregon Coast subareas are open daily for all-depth fishing, so today's a great day to get out there. Ocean salmon fishing is currently open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain with a daily limit of two Chinook (minimum 24 inches) but no coho retention allowed. Last week's rough ocean conditions limited success, but the bite should improve as we move into May. Spring Chinook are starting to show up on the North Coast rivers, though no confirmed catches on the Trask yet. Rockfish action remains steady with the current bag limit at 4 fish per angler, scheduled to increase to 5 fish on July 1st. Remember that yelloweye and quillback rockfish are prohibited, and there's a one-fish sub-limit on canary rockfish. For river anglers, the Wilson River should be seeing more summer steelhead showing up soon, though reports have been sparse so far. The Trask River is also worth a shot for spring Chinook, especially in tidewater and below the hatchery. Note that the Salmon/Steelhead Bobber Fishing Rule went into effect on May 1st from Loren's drift up to Cedar Creek boat slide. Hot spots today: The waters off Depoe Bay have been productive for halibut and lingcod. For salmon, try working the areas near the mouth of Tillamook Bay. Bank anglers should consider the North Jetty for rockfish, kelp greenling, and surf perch. Best baits and lures right now: For halibut, fresh herring rigs and squid are working well. Salmon anglers are having luck with anchovies behind flashers. If you're targeting rockfish, try shrimp flies or jigs in green, blue, or white.

Artificial Lure here with your Oregon Coast fishing report for Monday, May 5th, 2025. The Pacific halibut season is off to a hot start since opening on May 1st. Over in Depoe Bay, boats were limiting out on halibut and lingcod on opening day and home by noon! The Columbia River subarea is open Thursdays through Saturdays for all-depth fishing, with the nearshore fishery running Mondays through Wednesdays. Central and Southern Oregon Coast subareas are open daily for all-depth fishing, so today's a great day to get out there. Ocean salmon fishing is currently open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain with a daily limit of two Chinook (minimum 24 inches) but no coho retention allowed. Last week's rough ocean conditions limited success, but the bite should improve as we move into May. Spring Chinook are starting to show up on the North Coast rivers, though no confirmed catches on the Trask yet. Rockfish action remains steady with the current bag limit at 4 fish per angler, scheduled to increase to 5 fish on July 1st. Remember that yelloweye and quillback rockfish are prohibited, and there's a one-fish sub-limit on canary rockfish. For river anglers, the Wilson River should be seeing more summer steelhead showing up soon, though reports have been sparse so far.

Artificial Lure here with your Oregon coast fishing report for this beautiful Sunday morning, May 4, 2025. The Pacific halibut season just opened a few days ago on May 1, and folks are already having success! Opening day brought limit catches of both halibut and lingcod for many boats. The Columbia River subarea is open at all depths Thursday through Saturday, while the nearshore fishery runs Monday through Wednesday. Central and Southern Oregon subareas are open daily at all depths, so today's a great day to get out there! Ocean Chinook salmon season is currently open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, with a daily bag limit of two salmon (except coho). Remember your size limits: 24 inches for Chinook and 20 inches for steelhead. The bite has been a bit slow recently due to poor ocean conditions last week, but spring Chinook should be showing up on the North Coast any day now. Keep an eye out! For rockfish, kelp greenling, and surf perch, fishing has been picking up near bay mouths. The North Jetty has been productive for shore anglers, while boats are bringing in near-limits. If you're hitting the rivers, the Trask is expecting its hatchery spring Chinook run to start soon, especially in tidewater and below the hatchery. The Wilson River should be seeing some early hatchery summer steelhead, though catches have been limited so far. Hot spots this weekend: Try Depoe Bay for halibut and lingcod - they've been producing limits. For salmon trolling, work the area from Cape Falcon south. Yaquina Bay jetty has been good for rockfish and surfperch on incoming tides. Best lures right now are bright colored hoochies with herring for halibut, while salmon are hitting anchovies with green/chartreuse spinners. For rockfish, try shrimp flies above a white or orange jig. For bait, fresh herring is working well for halibut, and sand shrimp or eggs for those early spring Chinook in the rivers. Berkley Gulp sandworms are producing for surfperch along the beaches. Remember the Salmon/Steelhead Bobber Fishing Rule goes into effect May 1 on sections of the Trask River, so check your regulations. With the opening of these key seasons, it's a prime time to be fishing the Oregon coast! This is Artificial Lure signing off - tight lines and see you on the water!

We’re seeing some prime spring action out on the saltwater this week, and conditions are looking up for anglers ready to hit the water. Today’s weather is calm, partly cloudy skies with mild temps in the low 60s, and light west winds. Expect the sun to rise around 5:57 am and set at 8:22 pm. Tidal swings are moderate, with an early morning high tide, so aim to launch before mid-morning for your best shot at the bite. The big news this week is the halibut opener. Boats out of Depoe Bay and other harbors limited out on both halibut and lingcod during the opening day Thursday, and there’s no reason not to expect a repeat performance today. Halibut have been found in 150-250 feet of water, with jigs and large herring or squid baits being the ticket for the biggest fish. Lingcod are still aggressive on the rocky reefs, hammering swimbaits, large plastics, and herring bait rigs. Bring plenty of weight for the offshore drift and keep your gear near the bottom for best results[4][1]. Spring chinook are starting to show on the north and central coast. These early kings are mostly being trolled up with herring behind flashers, but anchovy and plug-cut herring are also effective. The salmon bite is expected to steadily improve through the month, especially on incoming and high tides[2][5]. Rockfish limits are coming easy for most boats fishing nearshore reefs — black rockfish are the bulk of the catch, but canary and yellowtail are mixed in. Shrimp flies or jigs tipped with squid or Berkley Gulp are working well, especially when drifted near bottom structure[4]. Hot spots right now include Depoe Bay for halibut and lingcod, and Brookings for early season chinook and rockfish. Newport is another good port to try for a mixed bag. Best baits and lures this week? For halibut and lingcod — big jigs, herring, and squid. For rockfish — shrimp flies, Gulp, and small metal jigs. For chinook — trolled herring or anchovy behind a flasher. With solid weather, active fish, and the halibut opener in full swing, there’s no better time to get out on the Pacific.

Weather this morning kicks off with cool temps in the mid-40s rising to the low 60s by afternoon. Expect partly cloudy skies, light west winds, and manageable ocean swells, making for pretty comfortable boating and shore casting conditions. Sunrise was at 5:58 am and sunset rolls in at 8:18 pm, giving anglers a long day on the water. Tides today see a high around 7 am, dropping to a low mid-afternoon. That incoming tide just after lunch often turns up the action for surf perch, lingcod, and rockfish tight to the reefs and jetties. The fish bite has picked up lately with ocean conditions stabilizing and more baitfish showing up. Chinook salmon are on the move, with a mix from the Rogue, Columbia, and Snake rivers, and a few early kings already caught trolling anchovies and herring near the mouths of major rivers like the Rogue and Chetco. Folks out of Brookings and Gold Beach have been picking up some chunky spring Chinook, but the main king season kicks off May 16. Coho salmon numbers look promising this year, with huge schools expected just offshore as we hit June, thanks to strong runs from the Columbia River system[5]. Lingcod and rockfish action remains steady. Limits are common for black rockfish and canary rockfish when the seas lay down. Big lingcod have been biting on large swimbaits and whole herring bounced near rocky structure. Offshore, deep water trips just starting up report good numbers of yellowtail rockfish and the odd halibut. For surf anglers, redtail surfperch are running good in the sandy stretches from Bandon down to Brookings, especially on that rising tide. Sand shrimp, clam necks, and Gulp! baits in sandworm patterns are proven favorites. Best lures this week for salmon are green or blue hoochies paired with a flasher, or trolling cut-plug herring just above the schools. For bottomfish, 4 to 6 inch swimbaits in dark or motor oil colors rigged on a leadhead jig, and baited shrimp flies both get the job done. Surfcasters will do well with sandworms and curly-tail grubs in camo or motor oil colors. Hot spots to try include the reefs outside Gold Beach for lingcod and black rockfish, and the mouth of the Rogue River for early salmon. The south jetty at Brookings is a longtime reliable spot for both bottomfish and a shot at a big Chinook when the tides are right. That’s your Pacific Ocean Oregon update for today.

We started the morning with light drizzle on the coast but by midday, clouds lifted and we enjoyed classic spring conditions—highs in the low 50s, a steady marine layer, and a gentle westerly breeze. Sunrise was at 6:01 AM and sunset will hit around 8:18 PM, giving you plenty of daylight for a long session. Tides today see a low at 5:35 AM, high at 12:09 PM, and another low late afternoon around 5:55 PM. That midmorning high tide really got things moving, especially in the nearshore rocks and jetties. Bottomfish action has been about as hot as it gets. Rockfish have been biting like fleas on a dog—limits were easy for most boats out of Depoe Bay and Newport this morning. Lingcod are on the chew, especially with a little chopped herring or white swimbait bounced close to the bottom. Black rockfish, coppers, and a good number of sea bass are all in the mix. The best action has been over rocky reefs in 60 to 100 feet of water. Hot spots include the reefs off Yaquina Head and the classic Depoe Bay rock piles[5]. Halibut season is right around the corner, but folks are getting a jump with a few caught deep, mostly off Pacific City and Garibaldi. You’ll want to try large herring rigs or glow squid jigs fished near the bottom when tides slack. Salmon is still just around the corner—coho retention doesn’t open until June 7, but you can keep one Chinook over 24 inches as part of your two-fish limit until July 15. Look for the Chinooks to stage just offshore as they wait for the big push in summer[5]. Best baits here are trolled herring or chartreuse hoochies behind a flasher. Crabbing remains fair in the bays with most keepers coming in from deeper channels and pots left to soak a few hours. Use chicken backs or fish scraps for the best results. For lures, you can’t beat a white or rootbeer swimbait for lingcod right now, and shrimp flies or curly tail jigs are pulling easy limits of rockfish. For bait, fresh herring is top choice for both bottomfish and salmon, and don’t overlook sand shrimp or squid strips. For hot spots, Yaquina Head reefs and the area right outside Depoe Bay are producing limits. Bonus tip—the jetty at South Beach in Newport gave up some nice cabezon and greenling on shrimp-tipped jigs this morning. That’s the word from the water. Tight lines and see you out there[5][3][1]!

These last few days have treated anglers to mild spring conditions, some solid catches, and good access to the water. Weather and Tides: Today we’re seeing mostly clear skies with comfortable highs reaching around 56 degrees. Offshore winds are light for now, though it’s always smart to check the latest marine forecast before launching. Sunrise was at 6:42 AM and sunset will be at 7:44 PM. The tides in Newport are as follows: high tide at 6:57 AM with 9 feet, low tide at 12:47 PM dipping to minus 1.2 feet, then another high at 7:35 PM with 7.4 feet. Those swinging tides are prime times for some hot bite windows, especially for bottomfish and surfperch[5]. Fish Activity and Recent Catches: Rockfish are the star of the show right now. Anglers in Depoe Bay and Newport are reporting near limits of black, deacon, yellowtail, and copper rockfish. Kelp greenling and a few blue rockfish have also been mixed in. Lingcod has slowed a bit compared to last month, but a handful of nice fish are still coming in when the tide is moving. Offshore, expect about three rockfish per angler, with folks near Brookings reporting similar results. Halibut season is still closed, so most bottomfish action is focused on reefs and rocky areas[5][4]. Chinook salmon season remains open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain until May 15, though the catch rates have been spotty, likely due to slow ocean conditions this past week. Newport recorded the highest Chinook catch rate along the coast, with about half a Chinook per angler for those putting in the time. Remember, minimum size for Chinook is 24 inches and you’re limited to two salmon per day, with no coho retention right now[2][3]. Surfperch have been active on sandy stretches, and there have also been promising reports from the herring run earlier this month, though most herring have now moved on[1][2]. Best Lures and Bait: For rockfish and lingcod, swimbaits, large curly-tail grubs, and metal jigs in white or chartreuse are always solid choices. Tip your jigs with herring or squid strips for extra action. Salmon anglers should stick with anchovy or herring behind a flasher, or go traditional with a hoochie-and-flasher setup. For surfperch, sand shrimp and Gulp! sandworms fished on a basic surf rig have been the most productive. Hot Spots: Depoe Bay and Newport head boats are reporting the most consistent rockfish action, especially in 60 to 120 feet of water. The reefs near Boiler Bay are well worth hitting for bottom dwellers. For salmon, stick to waters off Newport and between Cape Foulweather and Seal Rock for your best chance at a spring Chinook. For shore-based anglers, Beverly Beach and South Beach are producing surfperch on the afternoon incoming tide[5][4]. That’s the scene for today. Now’s a great time to get out before the spring crowds hit. Good This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The spring bite is on and the weather along the coast has been a treat lately, with clear skies and highs around 56 degrees. Today’s sunrise was at 6:42 AM and sunset will be at 7:44 PM. For tides in Newport, you had a high tide at 6:57 AM at 9 feet, a low tide at 12:47 PM dropping to -1.2 feet, and the next high tide is slated for 7:35 PM at 7.4 feet. Those big tidal swings should keep fish active during changeover periods, especially for those targeting structure-loving rockfish and surfperch. Rockfish are the stars lately, with Depoe Bay boats reporting full limits of black, deacon, and yellowtail varieties. Newport has also been seeing good catches, including plenty of black, deacon, and copper rockfish, along with a handful of kelp greenling. Lingcod have been on the slower side, but still worth targeting on jigs near reefs and rocky points. Offshore around Brookings, expect about three rockfish per angler, mostly the usual suspects with some quality fish mixed in. Pacific halibut season is currently closed, so all eyes are on these outstanding bottomfish opportunities. Salmon season is open for Chinook from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain and the best bite of late has been out of Newport, where salmon anglers are averaging just over a Chinook for every two rods. The limit is two salmon per day, but coho retention is closed until summer. Remember the size minimums: 24 inches for Chinook and 20 inches for steelhead. Salmon are being picked up trolling bait herring or anchovies behind chartreuse flashers, with most reported strikes in 70 to 120 feet of water. If you’re fishing from shore, now is prime time to target surfperch at high tide using sand shrimp or Gulp sandworms, especially around South Beach and Agate Beach. For bottomfish on boats, go with curly-tail grubs in motor oil or white, small jigs, and shrimp flies. The water clarity is prime, so natural colors are producing, but don’t be afraid to switch it up with a bit of chartreuse if the bite slows. Today’s hot spots are the reefs just west of Depoe Bay for rockfish and lingcod, and the area out front of Newport for spring Chinook salmon. On the sandy stretches, South Beach is your best bet for surfperch on the incoming tide. Spring is here and the fish are biting. Stay safe, mind the regulations, and tight lines until next time.

Newport has also been seeing good catches, including plenty of black, deacon, and copper rockfish, along with a handful of kelp greenling. Lingcod have been on the slower side, but still worth targeting on jigs near reefs and rocky points. Offshore around Brookings, expect about three rockfish per angler, mostly the usual suspects with some quality fish mixed in. Pacific halibut season is currently closed, so all eyes are on these outstanding bottomfish opportunities. Salmon season is open for Chinook from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain and the best bite of late has been out of Newport, where salmon anglers are averaging just over a Chinook for every two rods. The limit is two salmon per day, but coho retention is closed until summer. Remember the size minimums: 24 inches for Chinook and 20 inches for steelhead. Salmon are being picked up trolling bait herring or anchovies behind chartreuse flashers, with most reported strikes in 70 to 120 feet of water. If you’re fishing from shore, now is prime time to target surfperch at high tide using sand shrimp or Gulp sandworms, especially around South Beach and Agate Beach. For bottomfish on boats, go with curly-tail grubs in motor oil or white, small jigs, and shrimp flies. The water clarity is prime, so natural colors are producing, but don’t be afraid to switch it up with a bit of chartreuse if the bite slows. Today’s hot spots are the reefs just west of Depoe Bay for rockfish and lingcod, and the area out front of Newport for spring Chinook salmon. On the sandy stretches, South Beach is your best bet for surfperch on the incoming tide. Spring is here and the fish are biting. Stay safe, mind the regulations, and tight lines until next time.

The weather is treating us well today with clear skies, light offshore winds, and highs around 56 degrees, making for a pleasant day on the water. Sunrise was at 6:42 AM, and you can expect sunset at 7:44 PM. Tidal conditions are classic spring swings: look for a high tide this morning at 6:57 AM at 9 feet, a midday low at 12:47 PM dipping to -1.2 feet, and another high at 7:35 PM at 7.4 feet. These changes offer solid opportunities for both surf and boat anglers, especially as water movement ramps up feeding[4]. Rockfish are the name of the game right now. Reports from Depoe Bay and Newport show near limits of black, deacon, and yellowtail rockfish for most boats. Newport anglers are also seeing copper rockfish and a few kelp greenling in the mix. Lingcod action has been a bit slower than in previous weeks, but good catches are still coming in, especially if you persist in the rocky structure or deeper reefs[5][4]. Brookings offshore is seeing roughly three rockfish per angler, with a healthy mix of species[4]. Chinook salmon season is open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain until May 15. Catch rates have been modest, with Newport leading at about 1.2 Chinook per salmon angler last week. Remember, coho retention is still closed at this time[2]. Halibut season remains closed pending final decisions by ODFW after their recent meeting, so the focus should be on bottomfish and salmon for now[2][5]. For lures and bait, go with swimbaits and metal jigs for rockfish and lingcod. Black and blue patterns have been reliable in deeper water, and white paddle tails always seem to produce. Herring and anchovy are top choices if you’re after salmon, either trolled or as bait under a diver. For surfperch along the beaches, stick to sand shrimp, clam necks, or Gulp! sandworms, especially near the top of the incoming tide when fish are feeding in the wash[1]. Hotspots right now include the reefs and rocky points out of Depoe Bay and the productive waters just outside the jetties in Newport. Both harbors have had excellent bottomfish numbers and are great starting points, with bonus chances at spring Chinook salmon. Today’s outlook is prime for filling your limit with rockfish and maybe picking up a nice ling or two for the table. Be safe out there, watch those tides, and keep your lines tight. Good luck and tight lines! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise this morning is at 6:25 am, and sunset comes at 8:02 pm, giving us a nice, long spring day to chase fish. Weather is shaping up to be classic coastal spring—expect mixed clouds with some sunbreaks, breezy at times, with temps in the mid-50s. The ocean has calmed after a wet winter, and swell is moderate, making this a good window to get out if you can. Tides are running at a moderate pace today, with a morning incoming that peaks late morning before a decent afternoon ebb. That’s prime time for both boat and jetty anglers. Fish tend to bite better a couple hours before and after the high slack, so plan your efforts around those swings. There’s solid action up and down the coast, especially after the stormy stretch we had earlier this month. Out of Newport, Depoe Bay, Charleston, and Brookings, ocean Chinook salmon fishing is open and producing. Newport reported the hottest action this week with about 1.2 Chinook per angler. Coho season opens later, but ocean-caught coho will start showing in mixed bags soon. Remember, no wild coho retention until the season officially opens, so check your clips and regs before hitting the ramp[1][2][4]. Lingcod and rockfish fishing has been fantastic. Brookings boats and charters have been finding full limits of lingcod, with the best action on rocky reefs and jetties. Black rockfish, canary, and copper rockfish are also filling coolers, especially when the ocean lays down enough for boats to reach the reefs[2]. For salmon, anchovy-wrapped flashers and hoochies are the go-to lures. Herring trolls are also working well, especially close to the beach on the morning tide. When it comes to rockfish and lingcod, try large curly-tail grubs, swimbaits, or leadhead jigs in white, blue, or motor oil colors. Bait-wise, nothing beats fresh squid or herring strips, but plastics are catching plenty right now too[2]. A couple of local hot spots worth checking today: The reefs off Depoe Bay are producing easy limits of rockfish and lingcod, while the waters offshore of Newport are leading the pack for Chinook salmon. Down south, Brookings is a sure bet for both eager king salmon and lings. If you’re shore-bound, both the South Jetty at Newport and Chetco Point in Brookings are good bets for a mix of rockfish, greenling, and the occasional lingcod. That’s the word for today—decent weather, active fish, and lots of chances for a mixed bag. Tight lines and see you on the water.

First light hit at 6:24 am with sunset coming at 8:06 pm, giving anglers a long spring day to work the water. Weather has improved all week, with winds dropping and the ocean settling down after recent rough spells. Seas are currently calm to moderate, making conditions prime for nearshore and offshore trips. Tides for today at Pacific City follow this pattern: a 6.9-foot high tide at 3:31 am, dropping to a zero tide at 11:19 am, swinging back up to a 4.9-foot high at 6:09 pm, before settling to a 3.4-foot low at 10:36 pm. That mid-morning zero tide is perfect for hitting the surf for perch or rolling out early for bottomfish, then riding the afternoon flood for salmon or evening rockfish action[6]. Rockfish and lingcod are the talk of the docks from Garibaldi down to Brookings. Most anglers are coming back with averages of 3 rockfish and at least one lingcod per head, with Depoe Bay slightly better—up to 3.5 rockfish and 1.5 lingcod per angler. The mix includes black, canary, copper, deacon, and yellowtail rockfish, with solid lingcod numbers just about everywhere. Bag limits have increased to seven rockfish and two lingcod per day in Brookings, so folks are filling their coolers[1][8]. Chinook salmon season remains open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain through May 15, with a two salmon limit, excluding coho. Newport saw the hottest bite this week, with salmoners averaging 1.2 Chinook per rod, especially on the outgoing tide. Salmon action is a little slower elsewhere but picking up with the tide swings and weather windows[1]. For surf anglers, the beaches around Lincoln City and Newport are giving out good numbers of surf perch, especially during incoming tides. Steelhead in the rivers are finally slowing down, but there are still some chrome fish around, especially in the Wilson, Nestucca, and Siletz systems for those who want to try their luck inside[2]. The top baits and lures: For bottomfish and lingcod, you cannot beat a hunk of octopus or mackerel, and metal jigs in blue or silver are killer, especially when tipped with squid or herring for added scent[7]. Swimbaits in white or glow colors are consistently producing as well. For salmon, go classic—plug-cut herring or anchovies behind a flasher, or a 3.5 spinner with a 360 flasher setup. Roe and sand shrimp are working for the lingering steelhead inland[10]. Surf perch are hammering on sand shrimp, clam necks, and curly-tail grubs. Hot spots to try include the reefs outside Depoe Bay for lingcod, the rockpiles off Newport for both salmon and bottomfish, and the sandflats of Pacific City and Lincoln City for surf perch. For classic action and full limits, Brookings remains red hot when the weather allows boats offshore[1][8]. Get out there, watch those tides, and keep your lines tight.

Today’s weather on the central coast is looking beautiful with mild spring temperatures, light winds, and calm seas—the kind of day locals hope for when heading out. Sunrise came at 6:28am and sunset will be around 8:03pm. Tides today at Pacific City are as follows: high tide at 2:25am (7.3 ft), low tide at 9:47am (-0.2 ft), another high at 4:12pm (5.5 ft), and low tide again at 9:17pm (2.9 ft). The mid-morning outgoing tide and mid-afternoon incoming are both prime for fish activity, especially near the mouths and jetties where moving water stirs bait and offers great ambush spots for predators[6][9]. Fishing has been great for bottomfish. Reports the past weekend and into this week show boats coming back with limits or near-limits of rockfish and strong catches of lingcod. Most rockfish are hitting well on rubber-tailed jigs in white, pink, and motor oil colors. For lingcod, a big swimbait or a herring-tipped jig head bounced near the rocky bottom has been deadly. If you’re fishing from a charter or have access to a boat, target reefs and rocky structure between 60 and 120 feet of water for the best bite. Cabezon remains closed until July but plenty of other tasty species are taking bait[5]. Chinook salmon season is open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain and there’s been a steady but light bite off Newport, Depoe Bay, and Garibaldi. Catches have been decent with the best numbers reported out of Newport, where anglers are finding about 1.2 Chinooks per rod—solid for this time of year. Trolling herring behind a flasher or anchovy rigs, especially early in the morning on the outgoing tide, is producing. Just remember the bag limit: two salmon per person, no coho retention, and Chinook must be at least 24 inches[1]. In the bays, the last of the herring are still around, though the major run wrapped up in late March. Some folks were still picking up herring last week around the south jetty in Yaquina Bay, mostly using Sabiki rigs. Surf perch are also a good bet with small pieces of shrimp or Gulp sandworms fished near structure along sandy beaches, especially with small swells and around high tide[1]. Best baits right now are fresh herring or anchovy for salmon, and for bottomfish, nothing beats a curly-tail or paddle-tail rubber jig, tipped with squid if you want to sweeten the deal. For those looking for variety, ocean crabbing is fair with most pots bringing 2–3 keepers per person. Try the mouths of estuaries on the incoming tide for best results[4]. Hot spots for today include the reefs off Depoe Bay and the rockpiles just north of Newport—both are holding good numbers of lingcod and rockfish. For shore anglers, the jetties at Yaquina Bay and the surf at Pacific City are reliable bets, especially with today’s tide swings.

Today, April 14, 2025, the weather is expected to be fair with mild conditions on the water, making it an optimal day for fishing. The sunrise today was at 6:29 AM PDT, with sunset set for 7:56 PM PDT. Mild winds and manageable swells should provide smooth conditions for both inshore and offshore fishing efforts. Tidal activity is crucial for fishing success, and today’s tide schedule for coastal Oregon shows a high tide at 5:15 AM (7.4 ft) and another at 7:56 PM (5.4 ft), with a low tide around 1:05 PM (-0.4 ft). Early morning and evening fishing during high tide are recommended for better activity along the coast. In terms of fish activity, bottomfishing continues to be productive. Anglers have reported landing an average of three rockfish per person across major ports like Depoe Bay, Newport, and Garibaldi. The catch includes black, canary, copper, deacon, and yellowtail rockfish. Lingcod fishing is also holding strong, with catches averaging 1.3 to 1.5 fish per angler in most regions. Meanwhile, the ocean Chinook salmon season, running until May 15, has seen moderate success, with Newport boasting the highest catch rate at 1.2 Chinook per angler recently. For bait and tackle, anchovies—either fresh or brined—are top performers for salmon trolling, especially when enhanced with natural or blue fire brine. For rockfish and lingcod, jigs and bait such as cut squid or herring are working well. Surf anglers targeting perch are finding good luck with clam necks, Gulp sandworms, and shrimp-based baits, particularly during the incoming tide. Two hot spots to consider today are: 1. **Depoe Bay** – This location offers excellent offshore opportunities for rockfish and lingcod. With improved Lingcod landings and consistent rockfish action, it’s a great spot for a successful outing. 2. **Newport’s Yaquina Bay** – A prime location for Chinook salmon due to its higher catch rates, as well as steady action for bottomfish. Early or late in the day during high tide will yield the best results. For today’s anglers, the ocean conditions, tides, and variety of fish available make it an excellent time to get out on the water. Tight lines and happy fishing!

Here’s the latest report to help you plan your day on the water. The sunrise was at 6:33 AM, and sunset will be at 7:59 PM. The tide is currently transitioning with a high tide of 7.3 feet at 1:08 AM, a low tide of -0.0 feet at 8:02 AM, and another high tide of 6.1 feet at 2:04 PM. The next low tide will be at 7:49 PM and measure 1.9 feet, making the morning and early afternoon windows ideal for fishing[2][5]. The weather along the Oregon coast is mild with calm seas reported today. This makes for excellent conditions for anglers heading offshore or fishing from the shore. Ocean Chinook salmon fishing remains open through May 15 between Cape Falcon and Humbug Mountain. Reports suggest that the most productive area has been Newport, with anglers averaging 1.2 Chinook salmon per person. Be advised that only Chinook measuring at least 24 inches can be kept[1]. Lingcod and other bottomfish like rockfish are available year-round and are readily caught near rocky areas. A jig head paired with a rubber swim bait or soft plastic swimbaits in colors like white or chartreuse has been particularly effective. For those fishing the surf, surfperch are plentiful near sandy stretches like Pacific City or Cannon Beach, especially during calmer surf conditions. Clam necks and Gulp sandworms have been the top bait for surfperch[1][3][9]. As for offshore fishing, natural baits such as herring and squid are reliable for targeting larger species, while artificial lures like metal jigs and soft plastic swimbaits remain a favorite for bottom species like lingcod. Tuna clones and feather jigs are excellent if albacore tuna are on your radar during the summer season[3]. Two hotspots to consider for the day include Newport for salmon fishing and the rocky areas near Depoe Bay for lingcod and rockfish. Shore anglers looking for surfperch could head to Pacific City or Cannon Beach, where fish have been pushing closer to the shoreline. Whether you're casting from shore or heading offshore, today offers plenty of opportunities to bring home a great catch. Be sure to check regulations for size and bag limits before you go.

The next low tide will be at 7:49 PM and measure 1.9 feet, making the morning and early afternoon windows ideal for fishing[2][5]. The weather along the Oregon coast is mild with calm seas reported today. This makes for excellent conditions for anglers heading offshore or fishing from the shore. Ocean Chinook salmon fishing remains open through May 15 between Cape Falcon and Humbug Mountain. Reports suggest that the most productive area has been Newport, with anglers averaging 1.2 Chinook salmon per person. Be advised that only Chinook measuring at least 24 inches can be kept[1]. Lingcod and other bottomfish like rockfish are available year-round and are readily caught near rocky areas. A jig head paired with a rubber swim bait or soft plastic swimbaits in colors like white or chartreuse has been particularly effective. For those fishing the surf, surfperch are plentiful near sandy stretches like Pacific City or Cannon Beach, especially during calmer surf conditions. Clam necks and Gulp sandworms have been the top bait for surfperch[1][3][9]. As for offshore fishing, natural baits such as herring and squid are reliable for targeting larger species, while artificial lures like metal jigs and soft plastic swimbaits remain a favorite for bottom species like lingcod. Tuna clones and feather jigs are excellent if albacore tuna are on your radar during the summer season[3]. Two hotspots to consider for the day include Newport for salmon fishing and the rocky areas near Depoe Bay for lingcod and rockfish. Shore anglers looking for surfperch could head to Pacific City or Cannon Beach, where fish have been pushing closer to the shoreline. Whether you're casting from shore or heading offshore, today offers plenty of opportunities to bring home a great catch. Be sure to check regulations for size and bag limits before you go.

Here’s your fishing report for the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon Coast on April 12, 2025. Today offers promising conditions to get out and cast a line. The weather on the coast is cool but calm, with morning temperatures around 48°F, climbing to a high of 57°F under partly sunny skies. Winds are light at 5-10 knots, making for relatively stable ocean conditions. Sunrise was at 6:41 AM, and sunset will be at 7:47 PM. The tidal schedule for Newport today includes a high tide at 6:57 AM at 9.0 feet, a low tide at 12:47 PM at -1.2 feet, and another high tide at 7:35 PM at 7.4 feet. **Fish Activity and Catches** It’s a great day for bottomfish enthusiasts. Lingcod and rockfish continue to show strong activity, with near-limits of black, deacon, and copper rockfish reported from Depoe Bay to Newport. Lingcod catches have slightly slowed but remain steady, with large specimens caught near rocky structures. Offshore, anglers are also finding success with flatfish such as sand dabs and sole. Surf fishing along sandy beaches is yielding excellent results for redtail surf perch, especially during the high tide transitions. The spring Chinook salmon season has provided anglers with good action between Cape Falcon and Humbug Mountain, especially near estuary areas where the salmon are staging. While Pacific halibut season is closed, crabbing remains an option, though yields are modest at 1-3 per person. **Best Baits and Lures** - For rockfish and Lingcod: Try heavy metal jigs or swimbaits in blue, chartreuse, or silver tones. Adding squid or herring to your jig can make it even more effective. Focus on rocky reefs and kelp beds. - For salmon: Brined anchovies or herring trolled behind a flasher work well. A two-hook rig with a slight bend in the bait ensures a lifelike presentation. - For surfperch: Clam necks, sand shrimp, mole crabs, or artificial Berkley Gulp Sand Worms are top choices. Surfperch are schooling close to the shoreline, making them accessible to shore anglers. - For flatfish: Small pieces of squid or herring on a drop-shot or Carolina rig are ideal. **Hot Spots** 1. **Depoe Bay**: Sheltered waters and abundant rockfish make this a prime spot for bottomfishing. Lingcod lurk near the deeper rocky areas. 2. **Newport Jetty**: Offers consistent rockfish and Lingcod action. The Yaquina Bay area is also productive for salmon anglers. 3. **Bandon Beach**: Perfect for surfperch anglers, especially mid-morning around high tide. Remember to check regulations carefully, as yelloweye and quillback rockfish are prohibited, and the Lingcod limit is two fish per angler with a minimum 22-inch length. With calm seas and active fish, it’s shaping up to be a good day on the water. Tight lines and happy fishing! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Here's the latest update for anglers. The weather along the coast has been relatively calm, with clear skies and temperatures reaching a comfortable high of 56°F. Offshore winds are light, creating stable ocean conditions, though it's always worth monitoring forecasts for any sudden changes. For tides, sunrise occurred at 6:42 AM, and sunset will be at 7:44 PM. The tides in Newport today include a high tide at 6:57 AM (9.0 ft), followed by a low tide at 12:47 PM (-1.2 ft), and another high tide at 7:35 PM (7.4 ft). The tidal swings suggest ideal conditions for targeting certain fish species during the changing water levels. **Fish Activity and Catch Trends** Rockfish continue to dominate catches this week, with anglers in Depoe Bay reporting near limits of black, deacon, and yellowtail rockfish. Newport also saw a good mix of black, deacon, and copper rockfishes, along with a few kelp greenling. Lingcod fishing, however, has been slower compared to recent weeks. Offshore anglers near Brookings are reporting about three rockfish per angler, with similar species in the mix. Halibut season remains closed, but the focus on bottomfish has still yielded plenty of action. Unfortunately, ocean Chinook salmon fishing south of Cape Falcon is currently closed due to in-season management measures, but areas north of the boundary may still provide opportunities for salmon later in the season. **Best Baits and Lures** For natural bait, herring and squid are go-to options for rockfish and lingcod. These baits remain firm on the hook and release attractants that draw in predatory fish. Artificial lures like soft plastic swimbaits, metal jigs in silver and chartreuse, and tuna clones are excellent for targeting rockfish and pelagic species. If surf fishing for perch, clam necks have proven effective along sandy beaches near calmer surf zones. **Recommended Hot Spots** 1. **Depoe Bay:** Known for its sheltered waters and rich rockfish populations, Depoe Bay continues to be a reliable choice. Head out early to get in on the morning bite during slack tides. 2. **Newport:** Particularly around Yaquina Bay, anglers have been landing rockfish and greenling. Offshore, deeper structures provide opportunities for larger catches. 3. **Cape Kiwanda (Pacific City):** A popular spot for surf fishing, with redtail surf perch closer to shore during high tide transitions. Overall, anglers are advised to focus on bottomfish in the current season. Always check for updates on closures and regulations before heading out. Tight lines and happy fishing!

Artificial lures such as metal jigs, soft plastic swimbaits, and spoons have also proven productive. Recommended colors include chartreuse, silver, and blue, which mimic the natural baitfish present in these waters. Hotspots to consider today: 1. **Tillamook Bay and Offshore**: Great for Chinook salmon and potential combo catches of rockfish and Lingcod. 2. **Newport Offshore Reefs**: A solid location for near-limits of rockfish and occasional Lingcod. If you're heading out, don't forget your crabbing gear—Dungeness crabs are an excellent addition to your haul, with reports of 1-3 crabs per person in some areas. Tight lines and happy fishing!

Here’s your Pacific Ocean fishing report for April 2, 2025, focused on the Oregon coastline. Today's weather along the Oregon coast looks favorable for fishing. Expect light winds and sunny skies with a high around 60°F, though the water remains chilly, so dress warmly. Sunrise was at 6:47 AM today, and sunset will be at 7:44 PM. Ocean conditions have improved significantly, offering calm waters through the weekend. **Fish Activity:** Rockfishing remains strong from Depoe Bay to Newport. Near-limits of black, deacon, copper, and China rockfish were reported, with a slower but consistent Lingcod bite. Flatfish, including sand dabs, are also biting well offshore. For salmon enthusiasts, the ocean Chinook salmon season is open between Cape Falcon and Humbug Mountain, with good reports closer to river mouths. Redtail surfperch are active along sandy beaches, particularly during high tide. **Recent Catches:** Anglers have landed near-limits of rockfish mixed with a few Lingcod. Flatfish catches offshore continue to be plentiful, with some impressive hauls. Reports from surf anglers highlight strong action for surfperch using clam necks and Berkley Gulp Sandworms. Salmon fishing is picking up at the edges of estuaries as spring Chinook are making their way in. **Best Baits and Lures:** - For rockfish and Lingcod: Use jigs or swimbaits mimicking squid or baitfish. Lingcod seem to prefer heavier jigs near rock structures. - For salmon: Brined anchovies or herring trolled behind flashers are producing well, especially in estuary areas. - For surfperch: Clam necks, mole crabs, and sand shrimp are top choices, or try artificial baits like Berkley Gulp Sandworms for convenience. - For trout in nearby lakes: Worms and PowerBait continue to be successful. **Hot Spots:** 1. **Depoe Bay:** Near-limits of rockfish have been reported here, and the flat seas make for an enjoyable day on the water. 2. **Newport Jetty:** A good mix of rockfish and Lingcod has been caught, with anglers also seeing success right off the jetties. 3. **Bandon Beach:** The surfperch bite is excellent, especially during mid-morning high tide. The tides today will favor fishing. Mid-morning is the sweet spot for surfperch on sandy beaches, while boaters should enjoy smooth water offshore. Remember, yelloweye and quillback rockfish are prohibited, so ensure proper identification of your catch. Lingcod, with a minimum length of 22 inches, have a bag limit of two per person. With improving conditions and a variety of fish biting, it's a great day to cast your line in the Pacific. Tight lines, everyone!

Artificial Lure here with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for March 31, 2025. Let's start with the tides. We've got a high tide of 8.45 feet at 3:12 AM and a low tide of -1.07 feet at 9:48 AM. The next high tide hits at 4:11 PM at 6.89 feet. Sun's up at 6:59 AM and sets at 7:42 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with. Weather's looking decent today. It's a bit overcast, but the ocean's relatively calm with light winds. Perfect conditions for getting out there! Now, onto the good stuff. Fishing's been hot lately, folks! We've been seeing a lot of action with rockfish and lingcod. Anglers have been pulling in near-limits of black and deacon rockfish, especially around Depoe Bay and Newport. Lingcod's been biting well too, with some folks reporting catches close to their limits. For you salmon enthusiasts, the ocean Chinook season opened up a couple weeks back from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt. It's been a bit slow, but we're hoping it'll pick up soon. Remember, the limit's two salmon, but no coho allowed. As for baits and lures, can't go wrong with some anchovies or herring for your bottomfish. If you're targeting salmon, try trolling with a whole herring or an anchovy. For artificial lures, SpinFish have been working well for coho when they're around. Hot spots? Well, the areas just off Depoe Bay and Newport have been producing nicely for bottomfish. If you're after salmon, try your luck around the mouth of the Columbia River or off Tillamook Bay. One last tip: don't forget to check those crab pots! Some folks have been pulling in some nice Dungeness to go with their fish. That's all for now, anglers. Remember to respect our oceans and follow those regulations. Tight lines, and I'll catch you next time! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Artificial Lure here with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for March 30, 2025. It's a beautiful Sunday morning out on the coast, with partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-50s. Sunrise was at 6:55 AM and sunset will be at 7:40 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines. The tides are looking good today, with high tide at 8:15 AM (7.2 ft) and low tide at 2:27 PM (1.5 ft). Fishing has been picking up lately as we transition into spring. Bottomfish action remains strong, with limits of rockfish being reached pretty regularly. Some nice-sized black rockfish in the 3-4 pound range have been coming in, along with a few hefty lingcod over 20 pounds. Remember, cabezon season is still closed until July 1, so make sure to release those if you catch any. For you salmon enthusiasts, we've got some exciting news. The spring Chinook run is starting to show up, with a few early fish being caught near the river mouths. It's still early, but things should really heat up in the next few weeks. Trolling herring or anchovy behind a flasher has been the go-to method. Surf perch fishing from the beaches has been productive lately. Sand shrimp and mole crabs have been working well, along with Gulp sandworms and Berkley Gulp swimming mullets in camo or orange colors. As for hot spots, try fishing around Depoe Bay for some great bottomfish action. The reefs just north and south of the harbor entrance have been producing well. For surfperch, Cannon Beach has been on fire lately, especially near Haystack Rock during the incoming tide. For bait and lures, you can't go wrong with live anchovies or herring for both salmon and bottomfish. If you're targeting lingcod, try using large jigs or swimbaits. For surfperch, Berkeley Gulp sandworms in camo color have been a local favorite. Remember to check the regulations before heading out, as some rules have changed this year. The daily bag limit for rockfish is currently 5 fish per angler, with a 2 fish limit for lingcod. That's all for now, folks. Tight lines, and I'll catch you next time!

We've got a high tide at 3:42 AM (7.7 ft) and a low at 10:24 AM (0.8 ft). Weather's looking decent with partly cloudy skies, temps around 55°F, and light winds from the northwest. Now, onto the good stuff! Fishing's been pretty solid lately, especially for bottomfish. Anglers have been hauling in limits of rockfish and lingcod near Newport and Depoe Bay. The halibut season's still a couple months away, but folks are already getting excited. Speaking of excitement, spring Chinook are starting to show up in the Columbia River. It's still early, but a few lucky anglers have landed some nice ones trolling herring near Astoria. Expect that action to heat up in the coming weeks. For you surf perch enthusiasts, redtails have been biting well along the sandy beaches. Clam necks are still the top bait, but don't overlook Gulp sandworms or small pieces of shrimp. As for lures, I've been hearing good things about blue and silver Crippled Herring jigs for the bottomfish. If you're targeting those early springers, you can't go wrong with a chartreuse or purple Fish Flash paired with a cut-plug herring. For some hot spots, try fishing the reefs off Yaquina Head for bottomfish. The jetties at the mouth of the Umpqua River have been producing some nice lingcod too. If you're after surf perch, Agate Beach near Newport has been consistently good. Remember, regulations can change, so always double-check before you head out. And don't forget your crab pots - the Dungeness have been plentiful lately! That's all for now, folks. Tight lines and see you on the water!

First off, we've got a high tide coming in at 12:18 PM, reaching about 9.1 feet. Low tide's at 6:30 PM, dropping to a mere 0.4 feet.

They might pick up later in the day, so plan accordingly. Now, onto the good stuff - the fish! Folks have been having some luck with rockfish lately, especially black, blue, and deacon varieties. I've heard reports of anglers landing about 3 rockfish per person when conditions allow. Lingcod have been a bit trickier, with catches on the lower side compared to previous weeks. For you salmon enthusiasts, the ocean Chinook season opened up earlier this month from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt. The limit's two salmon, but remember, no coho allowed. Make sure those Chinooks are at least 24 inches before you keep 'em. As for bait and lures, can't go wrong with some herring or anchovies for your natural options. If you're more of an artificial lure angler like myself (wink wink), try out some metal jigs in blue, silver, or chartreuse. They've been working wonders for rockfish and lingcod in deeper waters. For you tuna chasers, tuna clones and feather jigs are still the way to go. Hot spots? Well, I've been hearing good things about the waters off Depoe Bay and Newport. Anglers there have been seeing near limits of rockfish on good days. If you're willing to head a bit south, the Charleston area has been producing decent catches too. Remember, folks, the ocean can be unpredictable, so always check the latest conditions before heading out. And hey, if the big pond's too rough, don't forget about our coastal rivers and estuaries. They can be gold mines this time of year. That's all for now, anglers. This is Artificial Lure, signing off and wishing you tight lines and full coolers.

We've got a high tide at 9:58 AM hitting about 7 feet 11 inches, and a low tide at 3:48 PM dropping to about 1 foot 3 inches. Weather's looking decent with partly cloudy skies, temps around 58°F, and light winds from the northwest. Now, onto the good stuff. Fishing's been pretty solid lately, especially for bottomfish. Anglers have been hauling in limits of rockfish and lingcod near Newport and Depoe Bay. The halibut season's still a couple months away, but folks are already getting excited. Speaking of excitement, spring Chinook are starting to show up in the Columbia River. It's still early, but a few lucky anglers have landed some nice ones trolling herring near Astoria. Expect that action to heat up in the coming weeks. For you surf perch enthusiasts, redtails have been biting well along the sandy beaches. Clam necks are still the top bait, but don't overlook Gulp sandworms or small pieces of shrimp. As for lures, I've been hearing good things about blue and silver Crippled Herring jigs for the bottomfish. If you're targeting those early springers, you can't go wrong with a chartreuse or purple Fish Flash paired with a cut-plug herring. For some hot spots, try fishing the reefs off Yaquina Head for bottomfish. The jetties at the mouth of the Umpqua River have been producing some nice lingcod too. If you're after surf perch, Agate Beach near Newport has been consistently good. Remember, regulations can change, so always double-check before you head out. And don't forget your crab pots - the Dungeness have been plentiful lately! That's all for now, folks. Tight lines and see you on the water!

Artificial Lure here with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for March 22, 2025. The tides are looking good today, with a low of 0.5 feet at 6:12 AM and a high of 7.2 feet at 12:24 PM. We've got another low of 1.1 feet at 6:36 PM. Sunrise is at 7:15 AM and sunset at 7:32 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with. Weather-wise, it's a typical Oregon coast day - overcast with a chance of light rain, temps in the mid-50s, and a light westerly breeze around 10 mph. Not too shabby for late March! Fish activity has been picking up lately as we're getting into prime spring fishing season. Rockfish and lingcod have been biting well, with lots of limits being caught. Some nice-sized black rockfish in the 3-4 pound range have been coming in. Lingcod up to 15 pounds have been landed too. For those chasing salmon, spring Chinook are starting to show up. A few lucky anglers have hooked into some chrome-bright springers in the 15-20 pound class. It's still early, but numbers should increase in the coming weeks. Surfperch fishing has been hot along the beaches. Redtails and silvers are abundant, with some real slabs in the mix. Striped perch are also being caught off the jetties. As for lures, bright colored jigs tipped with squid strips have been deadly on the bottomfish. For salmon trolling, try green labeled herring or anchovies behind a flasher. Surfperch can't resist sand shrimp or Berkley Gulp Sandworms in camo or orange colors. For bait, fresh anchovies or herring have been working great for salmon and bottomfish. Clam necks or sand shrimp are your best bet for surfperch. A couple hot spots to check out: Try fishing the reefs off Depoe Bay for some stellar bottomfishing action. For surfperch, hit the beaches near Seaside or Gearhart - they've been producing limits consistently. Remember to check the regs before heading out, and tight lines to ya!

Artificial Lure here with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for March 21, 2025. It's a beautiful day out on the coast, with partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-50s. Sunrise was at 6:15 AM and sunset will be at 7:30 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines. The tides are looking good today, with high tide at 4:53 AM (7.4 ft) and low tide at 12:04 PM (1.3 ft). Fishing has been picking up lately as we transition into spring. Rockfish and lingcod are still the main targets for bottom fishing, with limits being reached pretty regularly. Some nice-sized black rockfish in the 3-4 pound range have been coming in, along with a few hefty lingcod over 20 pounds. Cabezon season is still closed, so remember to release those if you catch any. For those of you looking to target salmon, we've got some good news. The spring Chinook run is starting to show up, with a few early fish being caught near the river mouths. It's still early, but things should really heat up in the next few weeks. Trolling herring or anchovy behind a flasher has been the go-to method. Speaking of bait, sand shrimp and mole crabs have been productive for surfperch fishing from the beaches. Gulp sandworms and Berkley Gulp swimming mullets in camo or orange colors are also working well. For the boat anglers, you can't go wrong with live anchovies or herring for both salmon and bottomfish. As for hot spots, try fishing around Depoe Bay for some great bottomfish action. The reefs just north and south of the harbor entrance have been producing well. For surfperch, Cannon Beach has been on fire lately, especially near Haystack Rock during the incoming tide. Remember to check the regulations before heading out, as some rules have changed this year. Tight lines, everyone, and I'll catch you next time!

Fishing's been pretty decent lately, especially for bottomfish. Anglers have been pulling in good numbers of black rockfish, lingcod, and cabezon. The Depoe Bay and Newport areas have been particularly hot. Salmon fishing is starting to pick up too, with some early spring Chinook being caught near the river mouths. For bottomfish, jigs and soft plastics in white, green, or motor oil colors have been working well. Don't forget to tip them with some squid or herring for extra enticement. Speaking of herring, they're the go-to bait for salmon trolling right now. Try rigging them in a helmet or behind a flasher for best results. Surfperch fishing has been heating up along the beaches. Sand shrimp and Berkley Gulp sandworms in camo color are your best bets for bait. The stretch between Cannon Beach and Manzanita has been producing well. For you crabbers out there, the ocean's been a bit rough, but when conditions allow, folks have been pulling up some nice Dungeness from just outside Yaquina Bay. Hot spots to check out: Try fishing the reefs off Seal Rock for bottomfish, or hit up the Salmon River estuary for a shot at those early springers.

It's still early, but a few lucky anglers have landed some nice ones trolling herring near Astoria. Expect that action to heat up in the coming weeks. For you surf perch enthusiasts, redtails have been biting well along the sandy beaches. Clam necks are still the top bait, but don't overlook Gulp sandworms or small pieces of shrimp. As for lures, I've been hearing good things about blue and silver Crippled Herring jigs for the bottomfish. If you're targeting those early springers, you can't go wrong with a chartreuse or purple Fish Flash paired with a cut-plug herring. For some hot spots, try fishing the reefs off Yaquina Head for bottomfish. The jetties at the mouth of the Umpqua River have been producing some nice lingcod too. If you're after surf perch, Agate Beach near Newport has been consistently good. Remember, regulations can change, so always double-check before you head out. And don't forget your crab pots - the Dungeness have been plentiful lately! That's all for now, folks. Tight lines and see you on the water!

Artificial Lure here with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for March 11, 2025. First off, let's talk tides. We've got a high tide of 8.16 feet at 10:10 AM and a low tide of -0.24 feet at 5:10 PM. The sun's coming up at 6:32 AM and setting at 6:15 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with. Weather-wise, it's looking decent out there. We're expecting partly cloudy skies with temps in the mid-50s and light winds from the northwest. Ocean conditions are fairly calm, with 3-4 foot swells. Now, onto the good stuff - the fish! Salmon season's still closed, but bottomfish action has been hot lately. Anglers have been hauling in limits of rockfish, with some nice lingcod in the mix. A few boats even reported catching some early-season halibut, which is pretty exciting. For you shore anglers, surfperch fishing has been picking up. Folks have been having luck with sand shrimp and Berkeley Gulp sandworms. Don't forget to check those tide tables and hit the beach during the incoming tide for best results. As for lures, can't go wrong with some bright jig heads tipped with curly tail grubs for the bottomfish. Blue and green have been hot colors. For surfperch, try casting some small silver spinners or Carolina-rigged Gulp sandworms. If you're looking for some hot spots, Depoe Bay has been producing well for bottomfish. For you surfperch hunters, try hitting the beaches near Newport or Lincoln City. Remember, regulations can change, so always double-check before you head out. Tight lines, everyone!

First off, let's talk about the tides. According to the tide calendar, today we have a high tide at 2:18 AM with a height of 7.3 feet, followed by a low tide at 8:28 AM with 1.9 feet, and then another high tide at 2:01 PM with 7.0 feet. The low tide later in the day is at 8:36 PM with 0.8 feet[2]. The weather is looking decent, with calm ocean conditions, which is ideal for getting out and catching some fish. Sunrise today is at around 7:00 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:30 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to hit our favorite spots. Recently, the fishing in the Buoy 10 area and the ocean west of Astoria has been quite active. Anglers have been having a great time catching coho and chinook salmon. However, it's worth noting that the coho quota for offshore catches has been nearly met, with over 29,000 coho caught out of the 39,900 allowed for this year. This might lead to an early closure for ocean fishing, pushing more anglers inside the jetties to Buoy 10[1]. For those targeting coho salmon, especially closer to the ocean, herring and anchovies are your best bets for bait. Further up the river, prawns and salmon eggs are highly effective due to their high salt content, which coho crave when they're away from the ocean. In-line spinners are also a great option and often overlooked but very effective for coho[3]. If you're after chinook salmon, herring is the way to go, especially from Astoria to Portland. Salmon roe is also highly effective, particularly in the upper parts of the rivers and tributaries. The 360 flasher 3.5 spinner combo is a lethal setup for chinook any time of the year[3]. Given the current conditions, here are a couple of hot spots to consider: 1. **Buoy 10 Area**: This area has been productive on high tides, with both coho and chinook in the mix. The action tends to pick up around the high slack farther downriver, close to Buoy 10[1]. 2. **Ocean West of Astoria**: Although the coho quota is nearly met, this area has seen excellent fishing for coho and chinook. If the ocean remains open, it's a great spot to catch both species[1]. In summary, today looks like a great day to get out and fish, especially with the calm ocean conditions and favorable tides. Make sure to use the right bait and lures, and don't hesitate to try out those hot spots.

As of today, February 14, 2025, the weather has been quite choppy and windy, but there have been some windows of nice weather that have allowed charter boats to venture offshore. The recent storms have kept the ocean rough, but when the weather calms down, the fishing has been nothing short of spectacular. ### Tidal Report We're not in the peak King Tide period right now, but it's worth noting that the next King Tides will occur from February 8-10, 2025. However, for today, the tides are relatively normal, with the sunrise at around 7:20 AM and sunset at about 5:20 PM. ### Weather The ocean has been choppy with big swells, but there have been brief periods of calm weather. This week, the winds have died down a bit, giving anglers a better shot at lingcod and rockfish. ### Fish Activity The fish activity has been quite robust despite the challenging weather conditions. Lingcod and rockfish have been biting well between the winter storms. Recently, charter boats out of Brookings have reported steady action with a wide assortment of fish, including limits of quality rockfish and good catches of lingcod. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has also increased the bag limit for rockfish to seven per day, up from five, which has been a hit with charter customers[1][5]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught Lingcod and rockfish are the stars of the show right now. Anglers have been catching up to two lingcod per day, with a minimum size limit of 22 inches. For rockfish, the bag limit is now seven per day, and there's been a good mix of black, deacon, China, copper, and canary rockfish. Crabbing has also been good, especially when checking crab pots on the way back to shore[1][5]. ### Best Lures and Bait For targeting lingcod and rockfish, natural baits like squid, anchovies, and herring are highly effective. However, artificial lures also have their place. Spinners and jigs that mimic small fish or squid can be very attractive to these species. For rockfish, using lures that dive to the bottom or mid-water can be particularly successful. If you're looking to catch crab, baiting your pots with squid or fish guts is a good strategy[1][3][4]. ### Hot Spots Brookings remains one of the top spots for fishing right now. The calm ocean conditions last week allowed anglers to get out and land an average of about three rockfish per angler, with lingcod catches also picking up. Another hot spot is Depoe Bay, where anglers have been catching a good mix of rockfish and lingcod. Newport and Charleston are also worth considering, as they have seen decent fishing conditions with good catches of both rockfish and lingcod[5].

As of today, February 12, 2025, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip. ### Tidal Report and Weather First off, let's check the tides. For Florence, OR, the tide is currently falling, with a high tide at 1:30 PM and a low tide at 7:03 PM[2]. The weather has been calm, allowing for good fishing conditions. Early last week, calm ocean conditions prevailed, which is great news for those heading out today. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today was at 5:35 AM, and sunset will be at 8:55 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out on the water. ### Fish Activity and Recent Catches Fishing has been decent in the marine zone. In areas like Newport, Depoe Bay, and Charleston, anglers have been catching a mix of rockfish, with an average of about 2.5 rockfish per angler. Lingcod fishing has also been good, with an average of about 1 to 1.5 fish per angler[5]. ### Best Lures and Bait For rockfish and lingcod, using the right lures and bait can make all the difference. For rockfish, especially in the offshore longleader fishery, jigs and soft plastic lures work well. However, if you're targeting lingcod, hard plastic lures like twitch baits or spoons can be very effective[4]. If you prefer using bait, herring and anchovies are excellent choices for a variety of species, including rockfish and lingcod. For those targeting salmon, such as coho or chinook, salmon eggs, herring, and anchovies are top picks. Prawns and salmon roe also work well, especially further up the rivers and tributaries[3]. ### Hot Spots Here are a couple of hot spots you should consider: - **Depoe Bay**: This area has seen good conditions recently, allowing many vessels to pass out of the harbor. Fishing here has yielded about 2.5 rockfish per angler and an average of 1.5 lingcod per angler[5]. - **Newport**: Known for its consistent fishing, Newport has provided decent catches of rockfish and lingcod. The calm weather last week made it an ideal spot to get out and fish[5]. ### Additional Tips Remember to check the daily bag limits and any in-season regulation changes before you head out. For shore-based anglers, the rules are the same as for boat-based anglers. Also, keep an eye out for herring, which typically start spawning in the bays and estuaries around Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day[5]. With the right gear, knowledge of the tides, and a bit of luck, you should have a great day out on the water.

First off, let's talk about the weather and tidal conditions. Today, you can expect calm ocean conditions, which is perfect for getting out on the water. According to the tide tables, around Tillamook Bay, the low tide is at 8:35 AM with a height of -0.3 feet, and the high tide is at 2:47 PM with a height of 8.5 feet[2]. Sunrise today is at 7:17 AM, and sunset will be at 5:14 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to catch some fish. Recently, the fishing has been quite good, especially for rockfish and lingcod. At ports like Depoe Bay, Newport, and Charleston, anglers have been reporting decent catches. For example, at Depoe Bay, anglers averaged about 2.5 rockfish per person and 1.5 lingcod per person. At Newport, the average was about 2 rockfish and 1 lingcod per person, while at Charleston, anglers landed an average of 3 rockfish and close to 1 lingcod per person[1]. For rockfish, the bag limit is 5 fish from July 1 through December 31, but since we're still in February, the current limit is 4 fish per day. There's also a sub-bag limit of 1 canary rockfish and 1 cabezon. Lingcod have a 2-fish bag limit with a minimum size of 22 inches[1]. When it comes to the best lures and bait, for rockfish and lingcod, you can't go wrong with using jigs tipped with squid or shrimp. These baits mimic the natural prey of these fish and are highly effective. For those targeting lingcod specifically, a jig with a curly tail grub can be very enticing. If you're looking to try your hand at the offshore longleader fishery, this gear allows you to catch more fish and distribute your effort away from nearshore species. This fishery has a 10-fish bag limit, but you need to use longleader gear outside the 40-fathom regulatory line, and it's limited to 10 midwater rockfish species only[1]. For hot spots, I recommend checking out Depoe Bay and Charleston. Both of these areas have been producing good results lately. If you're looking for a bit more variety, the waters around Newport are also worth a visit. In summary, with the calm ocean conditions, favorable tides, and recent success in these waters, today is a great day to get out and catch some fish. Just remember to check the local regulations and handle your catch with care. Happy fishing, and tight lines This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First off, let's talk about the tides. According to the tide charts, today we're looking at a high tide of 9.3 feet at 9:13 AM and a low tide of -0.8 feet at 4:02 PM. These tidal shifts can significantly impact fish activity, so it's crucial to plan your fishing trip accordingly[4]. Weather-wise, it's a bit chilly but relatively calm, making it a good day to get out on the water. Sunrise was at 7:14 AM, and sunset will be around 5:14 PM, giving us a decent window for some quality fishing time. Now, let's dive into the fish activity. This time of year, we're not yet in the peak salmon season, but there are still some great opportunities for other species. Recently, the rockfish and lingcod fishing have been excellent. Anglers have been reporting good catches of rockfish, with averages of about 2-3 fish per angler, and lingcod have been biting well too, with about 1 fish per angler[3]. For those targeting rockfish and lingcod, the best spots have been around Depoe Bay, Newport, and Charleston. These areas have provided good conditions and decent fishing. If you're heading out to these spots, make sure to use the right gear; longleader gear is recommended for the offshore longleader fishery to catch more fish and distribute effort away from nearshore species. In terms of lures and bait, for rockfish, you can't go wrong with jigs and squid or shrimp imitations. Lingcod are often caught using larger jigs or bait such as herring or anchovies. If you're looking to try something different, consider using some of the newer soft-plastic lures that mimic baitfish. For shore and estuary fishing, herring are starting to become active as they prepare to spawn. While the peak spawning events usually occur between Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day, it's worth keeping an eye on the bays and estuaries for early signs of herring activity[3]. If you're looking for some hot spots, Depoe Bay and Newport have been performing well for rockfish and lingcod. For shore-based anglers, Yaquina Bay is a good spot to check for herring and other species that might be moving into the estuaries. In summary, today looks like a great day to get out and catch some rockfish and lingcod off the Oregon coast. Make sure to check the tides, use the right gear, and head to the right spots.

These tidal shifts can significantly impact fish activity, so it's crucial to plan your fishing trip accordingly[4]. Weather-wise, it's a bit chilly but relatively calm, making it a good day to get out on the water. Sunrise was at 7:14 AM, and sunset will be around 5:14 PM, giving us a decent window for some quality fishing time. Now, let's dive into the fish activity. This time of year, we're not yet in the peak salmon season, but there are still some great opportunities for other species. Recently, the rockfish and lingcod fishing have been excellent. Anglers have been reporting good catches of rockfish, with averages of about 2-3 fish per angler, and lingcod have been biting well too, with about 1 fish per angler[3]. For those targeting rockfish and lingcod, the best spots have been around Depoe Bay, Newport, and Charleston. These areas have provided good conditions and decent fishing. If you're heading out to these spots, make sure to use the right gear; longleader gear is recommended for the offshore longleader fishery to catch more fish and distribute effort away from nearshore species. In terms of lures and bait, for rockfish, you can't go wrong with jigs and squid or shrimp imitations. Lingcod are often caught using larger jigs or bait such as herring or anchovies. If you're looking to try something different, consider using some of the newer soft-plastic lures that mimic baitfish. For shore and estuary fishing, herring are starting to become active as they prepare to spawn. While the peak spawning events usually occur between Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day, it's worth keeping an eye on the bays and estuaries for early signs of herring activity[3]. If you're looking for some hot spots, Depoe Bay and Newport have been performing well for rockfish and lingcod. For shore-based anglers, Yaquina Bay is a good spot to check for herring and other species that might be moving into the estuaries. In summary, today looks like a great day to get out and catch some rockfish and lingcod off the Oregon coast. Make sure to check the tides, use the right gear, and head to the right spots.

Today, February 8, 2025, we're diving into the fishing scene along the Pacific Ocean, particularly around the Central Coast. First off, let's talk about the tides. According to the tide charts, today we're looking at a low tide of 0'5" at 4:17 AM and another low of 1'3" at 3:48 PM. The high tides are at 10:01 AM with 5'4" and 9:58 PM with 7'11"[5]. The weather is quite favorable for fishing, with calm ocean conditions reported in recent days. This makes it an ideal time to get out on the water. Sunrise today is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 5:13 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to catch some fish. Recently, the fishing has been good, especially for rockfish and lingcod. In ports like Depoe Bay, Newport, and Charleston, anglers have been reporting decent catches. For example, in Depoe Bay, the average catch has been about 2.5 rockfish per angler and 1.5 lingcod per angler. In Newport, it's been around 2 rockfish and 1 lingcod per angler, while in Charleston, anglers have been landing an average of 3 rockfish and close to 1 lingcod per angler[1]. For those targeting rockfish and lingcod, the best approach is to use longleader gear, especially if you're fishing outside the 40-fathom regulatory line. This gear allows for a 10-fish bag limit, with a sub-bag limit of 1 canary rockfish. Lingcod have a 2-fish bag limit with a minimum size limit of 22 inches[1]. When it comes to bait and lures, for rockfish and lingcod, using squid, anchovies, or herring can be very effective. If you prefer lures, jigs and metal lures that mimic baitfish can also work well. For those who like to mix it up, plastic lures that imitate squid or shrimp can also attract these bottom-dwellers[3]. If you're looking for some hot spots, Depoe Bay and Newport are excellent choices. Both ports have seen good fishing conditions recently, and the calm seas make it easier to navigate and find the right spots. Another spot worth considering is Charleston, which has also reported good catches of rockfish and lingcod[1]. In addition to these spots, the offshore longleader fishery is another great option. This fishery allows anglers to catch more fish and distributes the effort away from nearshore species, making it a sustainable and rewarding choice[1]. So, grab your gear, check the tides, and head out to the Central Coast. With the right bait and lures, and a bit of luck, you should be able to land some nice catches today.

First off, let's talk about the tides. For Coos Bay, which is a popular spot for both shore and boat-based fishing, today's tide times are as follows: high tide at 8:22 AM with a height of 7.65 feet, low tide at 3:55 PM with a height of 0.09 feet, and another high tide at 10:57 PM with a height of 5.37 feet. These tidal changes can significantly impact fish activity, so it's crucial to plan your fishing trip around them[2]. Weather-wise, it's looking relatively calm with clear skies, which is ideal for getting out on the water. Sunrise is at 7:25 AM, and sunset is at 5:37 PM, giving you a good window to catch both morning and evening bites. Recently, the fishing in the marine zone has been quite promising. At ports like Depoe Bay, Newport, and Charleston, anglers have been reporting good catches of rockfish and lingcod. For example, at Depoe Bay, anglers averaged about 2.5 rockfish and 1.5 lingcod per angler last week. Similar trends were seen at Newport and Charleston, with rockfish and lingcod being the main catches[1]. The daily bag limits are worth noting: for general marine species, you can keep up to 4 fish from January 1 through June 30, and up to 5 fish from July 1 through December 31. There are also specific limits for certain species like canary rockfish (1-fish sub-bag limit) and lingcod (2-fish bag limit with a 22-inch minimum size limit)[1]. For bottomfish, particularly around the jetties in the lower Coos Bay estuary, a jig fished with a twister tail trailer is a good option. This setup tends to work well near slack tides when the fish are more active. If you're targeting lingcod, using larger lures or bait like squid or octopus can increase your chances of landing one[3]. If you're looking for some hot spots, Depoe Bay and Charleston have been producing some great results lately. The offshore longleader fishery is also worth considering, as it allows anglers to catch more fish and distribute their effort away from nearshore species. This method requires using longleader gear outside the 40-fathom regulatory line, targeting midwater rockfish species[1]. In summary, today looks like a great day to get out on the water. With calm weather, favorable tides, and recent success in catching rockfish and lingcod, you've got a good chance of bringing home some nice catches. Just remember to check the local regulations and be mindful of the bag limits to ensure sustainable fishing practices.

Today, February 5th, 2025, we're diving into the latest fishing report for the Pacific Ocean waters off Oregon's coast. ### Tidal Report and Weather First off, let's check the tides. According to the 2025 Tide Tables for the North Coast of Oregon, around Tillamook Bay, we're looking at a low tide of -1.2 feet at 7:33 PM and a high tide of 8.5 feet at 12:47 PM. These tidal changes can significantly impact fish activity, so it's crucial to plan your fishing trip accordingly[2]. As for the weather, conditions have been relatively calm, allowing for good passage out of the harbors. However, ocean conditions can change quickly, so always check the latest forecast before heading out. ### Sunrise and Sunset Today's sunrise is at 7:26 AM, and sunset will be at 5:10 PM. These times are perfect for those early morning and late afternoon fishing trips when fish are typically more active. ### Fish Activity and Recent Catches Recently, fishing has been a bit slow in some areas but promising in others. At Depoe Bay, fishing was slow with about 1 rockfish per angler, but lingcod catches were good with an average of 1 fish per angler. Newport saw a few good days last week with near limits for most anglers, and lingcod landings were also good. Brookings had good ocean conditions, resulting in an average of 2.5 fish per angler, though lingcod catches were slow[1]. ### Best Lures and Bait For marine species like rockfish, lingcod, and flatfish, using the right lures and bait is key. For rockfish, a 1-fish sub-bag limit applies, and using longleader gear outside the 40-fathom line can increase your chances. Jigs and soft plastic lures that mimic the appearance and movement of natural prey work well for these species[4]. For lingcod, with a 2-fish bag limit and a 22-inch minimum size limit, using larger jigs or lures that imitate baitfish can be very effective. Cabezon, with a 1-fish sub-bag limit and a 16-inch minimum size limit starting July 1st, can also be caught using similar tactics. ### Hot Spots If you're looking for some hot spots, Depoe Bay and Newport are worth considering. Despite the slow fishing at Depoe Bay recently, the area is known for its consistent catches of rockfish and lingcod. Newport had a good week last week, and the conditions are usually favorable for a productive fishing trip. Brookings is another spot that's been performing well, with good ocean conditions and decent catches of various marine species. ### Conclusion In summary, today's fishing in the Pacific Ocean off Oregon's coast looks promising, especially if you're targeting rockfish and lingcod. Make sure to check the tides, plan your trip around the sunrise and sunset, and use the right lures and bait to increase your chances of a successful catch.

First off, let's talk about the weather. It's not looking too pleasant out there today. A gale force frontal system is moving across the coastal waters, bringing with it southerly winds that are expected to rise to 15 to 20 knots with gusts up to 30 knots. Seas are building up to 5 to 7 feet, and there's a good chance of rain throughout the day[2]. Given these conditions, it's crucial to check the latest marine forecast before heading out. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect from noon today through this afternoon, and a Gale Warning is in place from this evening through Friday morning. If you're planning to venture out, make sure your boat is ready for rough seas. Now, let's dive into the tidal report. Today's tides are moderate, with a high tide at around 9:30 AM and a low tide at about 3:30 PM. These tides can still provide some good fishing opportunities, especially in areas like Depoe Bay and Newport. Sunrise today is at 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at around 5:00 PM, giving you a decent window to get some fishing in. Fish activity has been mixed lately. In the marine zone, rockfish and lingcod have been the main targets. At Depoe Bay, fishing has been slow with about one rockfish per angler, but lingcod catches have been better, averaging about one fish per angler. Newport saw a few good days last week with near limits for most anglers, and lingcod landings were good as well. Brookings had good ocean conditions most of last week, resulting in an average of 2.5 fish per angler, though lingcod were slow[5]. For those targeting rockfish and lingcod, using longleader gear outside the 40-fathom regulatory line can be effective. Canary rockfish have a one-fish sub-bag limit, and lingcod have a 22-inch minimum size limit. For bait, live anchovies or herring can work well, especially when paired with a jig or a spoon lure. If you're using lures, try metal jigs or plastic lures that mimic baitfish. If you're looking for some hot spots, I recommend checking out Brookings Harbor and Depoe Bay. Brookings Harbor offers easy access to the ocean and has been producing some decent catches despite the weather. Depoe Bay, while slow on rockfish, has seen some good lingcod action. In summary, it's a bit of a rough day out there, but with the right gear and knowledge, you can still find some success. Stay safe, and tight lines!

First off, let's talk about the tides. Today, the high tide was at 12:26 PM with a height of 3.1 feet, and the low tide is expected at 12:52 PM with a height of 1.9 feet. For those planning to head out, the next high tide will be early tomorrow morning, so keep that in mind for your surf fishing or boat trips[2]. Weather-wise, it's been a mixed bag lately. Ocean conditions have been generally good, but there have been periods of rough seas and cold, wet weather. For today, expect a bit of chill in the air, but the seas are relatively calm, making it a decent day to get out there. Now, onto the fish activity. The ocean recreational salmon fishing season is currently closed, but we're looking forward to the new season options being proposed in March[1]. For bottom fishing, which is open year-round, the action has been steady. In ports like Depoe Bay and Newport, anglers have been catching a decent number of rockfish, with about one fish per angler on average. Lingcod fishing has also been good, with an average of one fish per angler in these areas. Brookings has seen better results, with an average of 2.5 fish per angler, though lingcod catches were slower[1]. The bag limits for general marine species are worth noting: from January 1 through June 30, you can catch up to four fish, and from July 1 through December 31, the limit increases to five fish. There are also sub-bag limits for species like canary rockfish and cabezon[1]. For those targeting lingcod, the minimum size limit is 22 inches, and you can catch up to two fish per day. Flatfish and sablefish are also available, with a 25-fish and 10-fish bag limit respectively[1]. If you're looking for hot spots, Depoe Bay and Newport have been producing some good catches lately. However, if you're willing to venture a bit further south, Brookings has been showing promising results. When it comes to lures and bait, for surf fishing, lures like the rooster tail, Powerbait Atomic Tubes in grasshopper color, and Gulp sandworms in 2" camo color have been effective. Use a Carolina rig for the rooster tail and a hi-lo setup for the sandworms. The best time for surf fishing is during the incoming high tide, specifically 2 hours before and after high slack tide[3]. For bottom fishing, using the right gear and bait can make all the difference. Longleader gear can be particularly effective outside the 40-fathom regulatory line, and using bait like squid or shrimp can attract a variety of bottom fish. So, gear up and get ready to hit the waters. With the right conditions and the right gear, you could be hauling in some great catches.

Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect: ### Tides and Weather As of today, the high tide is at 9:02 AM with a height of 7.2 feet, and the low tide is at 2:30 AM with a height of 1.5 feet, and again at 2:15 PM with a height of 1.0 feet[2]. The weather has been choppy and windy, but there have been brief windows of calmer conditions, allowing charter boats to venture offshore. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at 7:44 AM, and sunset is at 5:00 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips. ### Fish Activity Lingcod and rockfish have been biting well between the winter storms. Yesterday, charter boats managed to get offshore and returned with limits of quality rockfish and lingcod. The action has been steady, with a wide assortment of fish caught during these brief weather windows[1]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Limits of lingcod and rockfish are common, with some trips also yielding crab as they check crab pots on the way back in. The fall season saw a hot lingcod bite, and this trend seems to be continuing into the winter months[1]. ### Best Lures and Bait For lingcod, using large jigs or lures that mimic baitfish can be very effective. Rockfish often bite well on squid, shrimp, or small jigs. When targeting both species, a combination of these lures and baits can increase your chances of a successful catch. ### Hot Spots The Point St. George Reef Lighthouse is a hot spot for both lingcod and rockfish, with easy limits often reported from this area. Another good spot is Mack Arch, where some of the biggest lingcod of the season have been caught[1]. Overall, it's a good time to get out on the water if you can catch one of those weather windows. Be prepared for changing conditions, and make sure to check the latest tide and weather forecasts before heading out.

First, let's look at the tides. Typically, you'll see two high tides and two low tides per day, roughly six hours apart. Around Depoe Bay and Newport, you can expect high tides in the early morning and late afternoon, similar to recent patterns. For example, high tides were around 3:25 AM and 3:53 PM, with low tides at 9:43 AM and 10:11 PM on January 10, so expect similar timing today. Weather conditions have been moderating after a challenging week. Ocean conditions are improving, making for better fishing, although typical winter conditions with strong winds and varying pressure systems can still be expected. Sunrise today is around 7:53 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:43 PM, giving you about 8 hours and 50 minutes of daylight. Fish activity has been promising. Yesterday, anglers at Newport reported good catches with around 4 fish per angler, and lingcod landings were close to 1 fish per angler. At Depoe Bay, fishing was fair with about 2 fish per angler, and lingcod catches averaged 1.5 fish per angler. The main targets right now include rockfish, lingcod, and flatfish. For rockfish and lingcod, fishing near slack tides, especially around the jetties in the lower Coos Bay estuary, tends to be more productive. Use jigs and baited hooks with squid, shrimp, or crab as bait to increase your chances of catching these species. For sturgeon, nightcrawlers or anchovies work well. If you're targeting salmon, try using spinners or spoons. Hot spots include the jetties in the lower Coos Bay estuary and areas around Tillamook Bay. These locations often see good fish activity, especially during the slack tides. Keep in mind that the King Tides just passed from January 11-13, so be prepared for any residual higher waters and stronger waves if you plan to fish in areas that were affected. Stay safe, and good luck on the water. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

For example, on January 10, high tides were at around 3:25 AM and 3:53 PM, with low tides at 9:43 AM and 10:11 PM. You can expect similar timing today, though exact times may vary slightly[1][3]. Weather conditions have been moderating after a challenging week. As of the latest reports, ocean conditions are improving, which should make for better fishing. Be prepared for typical winter conditions, which might include strong winds and varying pressure systems[1][2]. Sunrise today is around 7:53 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:43 PM, giving you about 8 hours and 50 minutes of daylight. Fish activity has been promising. Yesterday, anglers at Newport reported good catches with around 4 fish per angler, and lingcod landings were close to 1 fish per angler. At Depoe Bay, fishing was fair with about 2 fish per angler, and lingcod catches averaged 1.5 fish per angler. The main targets right now include rockfish, lingcod, and flatfish[1]. For rockfish and lingcod, fishing near slack tides, especially around the jetties in the lower Coos Bay estuary, tends to be more productive.

Throughout the day, the tides will fluctuate, with another high tide at 1:53 PM and a low tide at 4:09 PM. These tidal changes can significantly impact fishing spots and accessibility[2][3]. ### Weather The weather has been quite stormy, with winter storms dominating the coast. However, brief windows of calmer weather, like the one on New Year's Eve, have allowed charter boats to venture out. Today, expect similar conditions with intermittent storms and strong winds, which may limit fishing opportunities[1]. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at 7:46 AM, and sunset is at 5:05 PM, providing a decent window for fishing, especially during the morning and late afternoon when the weather permits. ### Fish Activity Lingcod and rockfish have been biting well between the storms. The recent fishing reports indicate steady action for these species, with charter boats returning with limits of both lingcod and rockfish. The fall season also saw the first winter steelhead arriving in local rivers, but ocean conditions have been too rough for consistent river fishing[1][4]. ### Catches Yesterday, the few boats that managed to get out reported near limits of rockfish and about half limits of lingcod. The fish are active, but the challenging ocean conditions have kept many boats at the docks. ### Best Lures and Bait For lingcod and rockfish, using jigs with squid or octopus lures can be very effective. Live bait such as anchovies or herring can also attract these bottom-dwellers. When targeting lingcod, it's often beneficial to use heavier tackle and fish near structure like reefs or rocky areas[1][4]. ### Hot Spots One of the hot spots right now is the Point St. George Reef and Lighthouse area, known for its abundant lingcod and rockfish. Another good spot is the offshore areas where the longleader fishery is active, allowing anglers to catch more fish and distribute effort away from nearshore species[1][4]. In summary, while the weather is challenging, the brief windows of calm can yield excellent results for lingcod and rockfish. Be prepared for changing tidal conditions and use the right lures and bait to maximize your catch. Stay safe and keep an eye on the weather forecasts to make the most of your fishing trip.

Today, expect similar conditions with intermittent storms and strong winds, which may limit fishing opportunities[1]. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at 7:46 AM, and sunset is at 5:05 PM, providing a decent window for fishing, especially during the morning and late afternoon when the weather permits. ### Fish Activity Lingcod and rockfish have been biting well between the storms. The recent fishing reports indicate steady action for these species, with charter boats returning with limits of both lingcod and rockfish. The fall season also saw the first winter steelhead arriving in local rivers, but ocean conditions have been too rough for consistent river fishing[1][4]. ### Catches Yesterday, the few boats that managed to get out reported near limits of rockfish and about half limits of lingcod. The fish are active, but the challenging ocean conditions have kept many boats at the docks. ### Best Lures and Bait For lingcod and rockfish, using jigs with squid or octopus lures can be very effective. Live bait such as anchovies or herring can also attract these bottom-dwellers. When targeting lingcod, it's often beneficial to use heavier tackle and fish near structure like reefs or rocky areas[1][4]. ### Hot Spots One of the hot spots right now is the Point St. George Reef and Lighthouse area, known for its abundant lingcod and rockfish. Another good spot is the offshore areas where the longleader fishery is active, allowing anglers to catch more fish and distribute effort away from nearshore species[1][4]. In summary, while the weather is challenging, the brief windows of calm can yield excellent results for lingcod and rockfish. Be prepared for changing tidal conditions and use the right lures and bait to maximize your catch. Stay safe and keep an eye on the weather forecasts to make the most of your fishing trip.

Today, the high tide at Depoe Bay is around 4:17 AM PST at 7.64 ft and the next high tide will be at 4:45 PM PST at 7.01 ft. Low tide is at 10:35 AM PST at 3.29 ft and again at 11:03 PM PST at 3.58 ft[1][5]. ### Weather The weather conditions are expected to be cool and possibly rainy, which is typical for this time of year in Oregon. Be prepared for changing conditions, including strong winds and varying pressure systems. Dress warmly and ensure you're ready for the winter weather[1][2]. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is around 7:55 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:41 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trip, especially if you're looking to capitalize on the early morning or late afternoon bites[1]. ### Fish Activity Fish activity has been good, particularly for those targeting winter steelhead and bottomfish like rockfish and lingcod. Yesterday's catches were moderate, with anglers reporting some rockfish and a few winter steelhead in the lower Coos Bay estuary and near the jetties. Lingcod landings were also strong, with an average of about 1 to 1.5 fish per angler in areas like Depoe Bay and Newport[1][4]. ### Catches Anglers have been catching a combination of coho and steelhead in the Willamette Zone, although the primary target for ocean fishing has been rockfish and lingcod. Near Charleston and Bandon, when the ocean swells are small, rockfish and lingcod have been the main catches[1][4]. ### Best Lures and Bait For rockfish and lingcod, using jigs or baited hooks with squid, shrimp, or crab bait can be very effective. For winter steelhead, try using spinners, spoons, or flies that mimic baitfish or other small prey[1][4]. ### Hot Spots Some of the best spots to fish today include Depoe Bay, where the fishing has been pretty fair with about 2 fish per angler, and Newport, where anglers had good fishing with catch rates around 4 fish per angler. The jetties near Coos Bay and the areas around Charleston and Bandon are also worth checking out when the ocean conditions are favorable[1][4].

Here’s what you need to know: ### Tidal Report Tide tables for the North Coast of Oregon, specifically around Tillamook Bay, indicate that today will have a high tide at around 7:34 AM with a height of 7.8 feet, and a low tide at 1:57 PM with a height of -1.0 feet. This significant tidal swing can affect fish behavior and movement[2]. ### Weather While specific weather details for today are not provided, it's generally important to check current weather conditions as wind and pressure can significantly impact tides and fish activity. For the North Coast, be prepared for typical winter conditions which might include strong winds and varying pressure systems. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is around 7:53 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:43 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trip, especially if you're targeting species that are more active during these periods. ### Fish Activity Given the tidal and weather conditions, fish activity is likely to be influenced by the strong tidal currents. Species like salmon, although not in peak season, might still be active in certain areas. However, the main focus for today would be on species like Dungeness crab, halibut, and rockfish. ### Catch Reports Yesterday's catch reports were modest, with some anglers reporting decent hauls of Dungeness crab, especially in areas where the commercial season has recently opened or is about to open. For fish, there were reports of halibut and rockfish catches, particularly around the Astoria area. ### Best Lures and Bait For halibut and rockfish, using jigs with squid or octopus lures can be very effective. For Dungeness crab, baiting traps with squid, anchovies, or even chicken parts is recommended. If you're after salmon, although the season is not in full swing, using hoochies or spinners with a herring or anchovy bait can be productive. ### Hot Spots - **Astoria**: Known for its rich marine life, Astoria is a great spot for catching halibut, rockfish, and even some early-season salmon. - **Newport**: This area is also promising for halibut and rockfish, and with the right conditions, you might catch some Dungeness crab as well. Remember to check the latest fishing regulations, especially for the Dungeness crab season, which has specific restrictions and opening dates[1][4].

For fish, there were reports of halibut and rockfish catches, particularly around the Astoria area. ### Best Lures and Bait For halibut and rockfish, using jigs with squid or octopus lures can be very effective. For Dungeness crab, baiting traps with squid, anchovies, or even chicken parts is recommended. If you're after salmon, although the season is not in full swing, using hoochies or spinners with a herring or anchovy bait can be productive. ### Hot Spots - **Astoria**: Known for its rich marine life, Astoria is a great spot for catching halibut, rockfish, and even some early-season salmon. - **Newport**: This area is also promising for halibut and rockfish, and with the right conditions, you might catch some Dungeness crab as well. Remember to check the latest fishing regulations, especially for the Dungeness crab season, which has specific restrictions and opening dates[1][4].

Today, you can expect a high tide around 9:24 AM with a height of about 8.8 feet, and the low tide will be at 3:39 PM with a height of about 1.0 foot. On the Central Coast, near areas like Newport, the high tide is expected around 9:05 AM with a height of about 5.8 feet, and the low tide at 3:30 PM with a height of about 0.3 feet[1][5]. ### Weather The weather is expected to be cool and possibly rainy, which is typical for this time of year in Oregon. Make sure to dress warmly and be prepared for changing conditions. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is at 7:53 AM, and sunset will be at 4:34 PM, giving you a good window for fishing. ### Fish Activity Fish activity has been good, especially for those targeting winter steelhead and some lingering coho salmon. However, the primary target for ocean fishing in December would be bottomfish like rockfish and possibly some late-season coho. Yesterday's catches were moderate, with anglers reporting some rockfish and a few winter steelhead in the lower Coos Bay estuary and near the jetties[1][4]. ### Catch Reports Anglers have been catching a combination of coho and steelhead in the Willamette Zone, particularly in the Middle Fork Willamette River. For ocean fishing, rockfish and lingcod have been the main catches, especially near Charleston and Bandon when the ocean swells are small[1][4]. ### Best Lures and Bait For bottomfish, using a jig with a twister tail trailer is a good option. For steelhead, bait like nightcrawlers or small spinners can be effective. If you're targeting coho, using small lures or bait that mimic their natural forage can work well[1]. ### Hot Spots Some hot spots to consider include the areas around Tillamook Bay for steelhead and coho, and the jetties near Coos Bay for rockfish and lingcod. The Middle Fork Willamette River is also a good spot for catching a mix of coho and steelhead. Overall, it's a good time to get out there and enjoy the winter fishing season along the Oregon coast, just make sure to check the latest regulations and be prepared for the weather.

For areas like Buoy 10 near Astoria, the high tide is at 11:02 AM with a height of 2.37 meters (7.79 feet), and the low tide is at 6:17 PM with a height of -0.03 meters (-0.11 feet)[2]. ### Weather Check the local weather forecast, but generally, late December can be quite chilly and wet. Be prepared for cooler temperatures and potential rain. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is at 7:48 AM, and sunset is at 4:48 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trip. ### Fish Activity While the peak salmon season has passed, there are still some fish to be caught. In the Buoy 10 area, coho salmon were still active in the recent weeks, especially during high tides. However, as of the last reports, Chinook salmon had to be released, and only hatchery-marked coho could be kept[1]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish In the recent weeks, coho salmon were abundant, with anglers catching significant numbers. However, the Chinook salmon catch was limited due to regulatory restrictions. Expect to catch mostly coho if you're fishing in the estuary areas. ### Best Lures and Bait For coho salmon, use lures like spinners, spoons, and plugs. Hoochies and flies can also be effective. Bait-wise, herring and anchovies are good choices. If you're targeting Chinook (though they must be released currently), use larger lures like plugs and spoons. ### Hot Spots - **Buoy 10 Area**: This is a prime spot for coho salmon, especially during high tides. - **Lower Columbia River**: Areas around the west end of Puget Island can be productive for both coho and Chinook, though be mindful of the current regulations. Remember to check the latest fishing regulations and catch limits before you head out, as they can change frequently.

The winds are moderate, making the ocean conditions somewhat choppy but still manageable for experienced anglers. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at 7:48 AM, and sunset is at 4:34 PM, providing a decent window for daytime fishing. ### Fish Activity While the peak salmon season has passed, there are still some fish to be caught. The coho salmon run is winding down, but you can still catch some, especially in areas like Buoy 10 and the lower Columbia River. However, the main focus now is shifting towards winter steelhead, which are starting to move into the coastal rivers and tributaries[4]. ### Catch Reports Yesterday, anglers reported catching a few coho salmon and some early winter steelhead in the lower reaches of the coastal rivers. The ocean itself was quiet for salmon, but there were reports of some lingcod and rockfish being caught. ### Best Lures and Bait For coho salmon, using spinners or spoons like the Blue Fox Vibrax or Luhr-Jensen Krocodile can be effective. For winter steelhead, try using small jigs or flies, and bait such as nightcrawlers or shrimp. For lingcod and rockfish, jigs tipped with squid or shrimp work well. ### Hot Spots - **Buoy 10**: Although the salmon season is winding down here, it's still a good spot to catch some late coho and early winter steelhead. - **Lower Columbia River Tributaries**: Rivers like the Necanicum and Klaskanine are starting to see winter steelhead runs, making them good spots to target. Overall, while the fishing is not as hot as it was during the peak salmon season, there are still opportunities to catch some fish, especially if you're targeting winter steelhead or other bottom-dwelling species.

Today, you can expect a high tide around 5:45 AM with a height of about 6.4 feet, and a low tide at 7:15 PM with a height of around 6.6 feet. These moderate tides are not as extreme as the summer months but still offer good conditions for fishing, especially around slack tides[2][4]. The weather is a key factor today. A weak front is approaching the coastal waters, but the real action will come later with a stronger system arriving Friday and Saturday. For today, expect east to southeast winds at about 5 to 10 knots, with seas around 6 to 7 feet. There's a chance of showers this morning and early afternoon, so be prepared with the right gear[2]. Sunrise today is at 7:42 AM, and sunset will be at 4:31 PM, giving you about 8 hours and 48 minutes of daylight. Fish activity has been mixed but promising for dedicated anglers. Yesterday saw some catches of rockfish, lingcod, and even some sturgeon. For rockfish and lingcod, fishing near slack tides, especially around the jetties in the lower Coos Bay estuary, tends to be more productive. Salmon fishing has also been decent, particularly during high tides[1][2]. For lures and bait, rockfish and lingcod are often caught using jigs and baited hooks with squid or shrimp. For sturgeon, a good bait is nightcrawlers or anchovies. If you're targeting salmon, try using spinners or spoons, and for surfperch, small jigs or baited hooks with sand shrimp can work well[1][4]. Some hot spots to consider include the jetties in Coos Bay and the areas around Bandon and Brookings. These spots have historically been good for catching a variety of species, especially during the late fall season. Overall, it's a good day to get out on the water, but keep an eye on the weather and adjust your tactics according to the tides and fish activity.

For the North Coast, specifically around Tillamook Bay, the high tide is expected around 9:20 AM with a height of about 8.8 feet, and the low tide will be at 3:39 PM with a height of about 1.0 foot[2]. Weather conditions are crucial; today is expected to be partly cloudy with a light breeze, which is favorable for fishing. Sunrise is at 7:53 AM, and sunset will be at 4:34 PM. Fish activity has been good, especially for those targeting steelhead and coho salmon. In the Willamette Zone, particularly in the Middle Fork Willamette River, anglers have been catching a combination of coho and steelhead. The temporary rule allowing coho fishing from October 1 to December 31 is still in effect, with a limit of two coho or steelhead per person per day[1]. For the best results, use lures and artificial flies, as bait is not allowed from November 1 onwards. In the reservoirs like Dorena Reservoir, anglers have reported good success with lures for trout, largemouth bass, and smallmouth bass. For coho and steelhead, try using spinners or small jigs. Hot spots include the Middle Fork Willamette River below Dexter Dam and the McKenzie River downstream of Leaburg Dam. The mouth of Eagle Creek on the Clackamas River is also popular, though it can be crowded and closely monitored by OSP[1].

For areas like Bandon and Coquille River, the tide times are crucial. Today, the high tide is expected around 9:23 AM with a height of about 8.7 feet, and the low tide will be at 3:44 PM with a height of 0.1 feet[3]. The weather is cooling down, which can affect fish activity. However, this time of year can still be productive for certain species. Anglers have been reporting good catches of rockfish and lingcod, especially near Charleston and Bandon when the ocean swells are small[1]. Yesterday, anglers caught a mix of bottom fish, including rockfish and lingcod. The daily general marine fish bag limit is 5 fish plus 2 lingcod, with no retention of yelloweye or quillback rockfish. Anglers are also allowed to harvest 1 cabezon per day as part of the general marine fish bag limit[1]. For the best results, consider using lures like crankbaits, light-colored jerkbaits, Senkos, or a worm retrieved slowly along the bottom. These techniques have been successful for bass and other species in the area[1]. If you're targeting steelhead, the Umpqua River is a good spot, particularly in the Elkton area. Only hatchery steelhead can be harvested, and the season is open for early winter steelhead[1]. Hot spots include the areas near Charleston and Bandon for rockfish and lingcod, and the Umpqua River for steelhead. Also, consider the offshore longleader fishery outside the 40-fathom regulatory line, which is open year-round and allows for a daily bag limit of 12 fish from specific rockfish species[1].

Sunrise is at 7:48 AM PST, and sunset is at 4:29 PM PST, giving you a good window for fishing. Fish activity is mainly focused on winter steelhead and some lingering coho salmon, but the primary target for ocean fishing in December would be bottomfish like rockfish. Yesterday's catches were moderate, with anglers reporting some rockfish and a few winter steelhead in the lower Coos Bay estuary and near the jetties. The coho salmon fishery has largely wound down, but you might still catch some stragglers. For bottomfish, a jig with a twister tail trailer is a good option. For steelhead, using bait like nightcrawlers or small spinners can be effective. If you're after the remaining coho, try using hoochies or small spoons. Some hot spots to consider include the lower Coos Bay estuary and the areas around the jetties. These spots have been producing some decent catches lately.

The high tide is expected at around 7:47 PM with a height of 5.5 feet, and the low tide will be at 12:21 PM with a height of 0.6 feet. These tides can significantly impact fishing conditions, so plan your trip accordingly[2]. ### Weather and Sunrise/Sunset The weather is expected to be cool and possibly overcast, typical for this time of year. Sunrise is at 7:48 AM, and sunset will be at 4:30 PM. Make sure to dress warmly and be prepared for changing conditions. ### Fish Activity Pacific halibut fishing has been decent in the recent days, although the fishery is managed closely to ensure conservation. The daily bag limit is one halibut of any size per person. The Oregon Central Coast subarea, which includes areas like Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, has seen some activity. However, the fishery will close when there is not sufficient subarea allocation for another full day of fishing[1]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught Yesterday, anglers reported catching a few halibut, mostly in the Central Coast nearshore and all-depth areas. The catches were not abundant, but those who ventured out early had some success. ### Best Lures and Bait For halibut, the best lures often include large jigs, especially those with a squid or octopus trailer. Bait such as herring, anchovies, or even lures mimicking these baits can be very effective. The key is to get your gear to the bottom where halibut tend to congregate. ### Hot Spots - **Central Coast nearshore**: This area, inside the 40-fathom line from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, has been a hotspot for halibut fishing. Be cautious of the Recreational Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Areas. - **Central Coast all-depth**: The same area but extending beyond the 40-fathom line has also seen some action. However, this area will close when the combined spring and summer all-depth fishery allocations are depleted[1]. Remember to check the latest fishery closures and allocations before heading out, as these can change quickly. Enjoy your fishing trip and stay safe.

Thu, 19 Dec 2024 09:45:33 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI For December 19, 2024, if you're planning to head out for some Pacific halibut fishing off the Oregon coast, here's what you need to know: ### Tidal Report Today, the tides along Oregon's North Coast, specifically around Tillamook Bay, are quite active. The high tide is expected at around 7:47 PM with a height of 5.5 feet, and the low tide will be at 12:21 PM with a height of 0.6 feet. These tides can significantly impact fishing conditions, so plan your trip accordingly[2]. ### Weather and Sunrise/Sunset The weather is expected to be cool and possibly overcast, typical for this time of year. Sunrise is at 7:48 AM, and sunset will be at 4:30 PM. Make sure to dress warmly and be prepared for changing conditions. ### Fish Activity Pacific halibut fishing has been decent in the recent days, although the fishery is managed closely to ensure conservation. The daily bag limit is one halibut of any size per person. The Oregon Central Coast subarea, which includes areas like Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, has seen some activity. However, the fishery will close when there is not sufficient subarea allocation for another full day of fishing[1]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught Yesterday, anglers reported catching a few halibut, mostly in the Central Coast nearshore and all-depth areas. The catches were not abundant, but those who ventured out early had some success. ### Best Lures and Bait For halibut, the best lures often include large jigs, especially those with a squid or octopus trailer. Bait such as herring, anchovies, or even lures mimicking these baits can be very effective. The key is to get your gear to the bottom where halibut tend to congregate. ### Hot Spots - **Central Coast nearshore**: This area, inside the 40-fathom line from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, has been a hotspot for halibut fishing.

Low tides are at 4:13 AM PST at 1.39 feet and 6:30 PM PST at -0.08 feet. These tides will affect the fishing conditions, especially for nearshore species[5]. ### Weather and Sunrise/Sunset The weather is expected to be cool and possibly overcast, typical for this time of year. Sunrise is at around 7:48 AM PST, and sunset will be at 4:29 PM PST. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trip. ### Fish Activity For groundfish, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission has set a four-fish daily marine bag limit to start the year, which will increase to five fish starting July 1. Currently, you can expect to catch species like rockfish, cabezon, greenlings, and lingcod. However, due to reduced quotas, the catch limits are in place to ensure a stable fishery throughout the year[1]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of rockfish and lingcod. The fish are active, especially during the changing tides. The reduced quotas mean that while the fishing is good, it's essential to adhere to the bag limits to sustain the fishery. ### Best Lures and Bait For groundfish, using jigs and lures that mimic baitfish or squid can be effective. Live or frozen bait like anchovies, herring, or squid also work well. For lingcod, larger jigs or lures that imitate larger prey can attract bites. ### Hot Spots Some hot spots include the nearshore reefs and rocky areas off the coast of Cannon Beach and Tillamook Bay. These areas are known for their abundant groundfish populations and are accessible during the better ocean conditions expected during the day. Overall, it's a good day to get out and fish, especially if you're targeting groundfish. Be mindful of the bag limits and enjoy the cooler winter fishing experience off the Oregon coast.

According to the tide tables, for areas like Seaside or Astoria, the high tide is around 9:05 AM PST at 5.80 ft, and the low tide is at 5:52 PM PST at 0.08 ft[5]. ### Weather The weather is expected to be cool and possibly rainy, typical for this time of year in Oregon. Make sure to dress warmly and be prepared for changing conditions. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at 7:48 AM PST, and sunset is at 4:29 PM PST, giving you a good window for fishing. ### Fish Activity This time of year, the fish activity is mainly focused on winter steelhead and some lingering coho salmon. However, the primary target for ocean fishing in December would be bottomfish like rockfish and possibly some late-season coho. ### Catch Reports Yesterday's catches were moderate, with anglers reporting some rockfish and a few winter steelhead in the lower Coos Bay estuary and near the jetties. The coho salmon fishery has largely wound down, but you might still catch some stragglers[4]. ### Best Lures and Bait For bottomfish, a jig with a twister tail trailer is a good option. For steelhead, using bait like nightcrawlers or small spinners can be effective. If you're after the remaining coho, try using hoochies or small spoons. ### Hot Spots - **Coos Bay Estuary**: This area is good for catching rockfish around the jetties, especially near slack tides. - **Offshore Astoria**: Fishing west of Astoria can still yield some coho and chinook, although the season for keeping chinook has closed. This area is also good for bottomfish. Remember to check the latest fishing regulations before you head out, as they can change. Enjoy your fishing trip, and stay safe on the water.

For the Central Coast near Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, the high tide is at around 7:47 AM with a height of about 5.5 feet, and the low tide is at 1:35 PM with a height of about 0.5 feet. In the evening, the high tide returns at 7:30 PM with a height of approximately 5.0 feet[1][4]. ### Weather The weather forecast indicates a mix of cloudy and partly sunny conditions with moderate winds. Temperatures will be in the mid-50s, which is typical for this time of year. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is at about 7:34 AM, and sunset will be around 4:28 PM. ### Fish Activity While the primary halibut season has closed, other species are still active. Yesterday, anglers reported good catches of coho salmon, especially in the Buoy 10 area and offshore. However, the coho quota for the year is nearly filled, so fishing for coho might be restricted soon[3]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught Yesterday saw a strong showing of coho salmon, with many anglers reporting early limits. Chinook salmon catches were also reported, although the rules now require releasing all Chinook caught in the Buoy 10 area[3]. ### Best Lures and Bait For coho salmon, using hoochies or spinners with a pink or purple squid is highly effective. For those targeting other species like rockfish or lingcod, which are still open to fishing, using live bait such as anchovies or herring can be very productive. ### Hot Spots - **Buoy 10 Area**: This remains a hot spot for coho salmon, especially during high tides. - **Offshore near Cape Falcon**: This area has seen good catches of coho and some Chinook salmon. - **Central Coast nearshore**: Areas inside the 40-fathom line from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain can be good for rockfish and lingcod.

These tides are not as extreme as the super low tides seen in the summer, but they still offer good conditions for fishing[2][3]. ### Weather The weather is expected to be overcast with light winds, which is typical for this time of year. This should make for relatively calm seas, ideal for smaller boats. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:30 PM, giving you a good window for fishing. ### Fish Activity While the peak salmon season has passed, there are still some late-run coho and possibly some stray Chinook salmon in the area. However, the main focus now shifts to other species like rockfish, lingcod, and possibly some late-season sturgeon. ### Catch Reports Yesterday's reports indicated a few boats managed to catch some rockfish and lingcod using deep-water jigs and baited hooks. There were no significant salmon catches reported, as the season for keeping Chinook and coho has closed for the year[1][4]. ### Best Lures and Bait For rockfish and lingcod, use deep-water jigs or baited hooks with squid, anchovies, or shrimp. These species are often found in deeper waters, so be prepared to fish at depths of 100-200 feet. ### Hot Spots Two hot spots to consider are the waters off Tillamook Bay and the area around the Columbia River mouth. Tillamook Bay is known for its rockfish and lingcod, while the Columbia River mouth can still yield some late-season sturgeon and other bottom fish. In summary, while the salmon season is over, there are still opportunities for catching other species in the Pacific Ocean off Oregon's coast.

For Coos Bay, today's high tides are at 6:26 AM and 6:54 PM, with heights of 6.43 ft and 2.14 ft respectively. The low tides are at 12:47 PM and 8:37 PM, with heights of 1.85 ft and -0.03 ft[2]. The weather is expected to be typical for this time of year, with winter weather moving in, bringing cooler and possibly rainy conditions. Make sure to dress in layers and bring rain gear[3]. Sunrise today is at around 7:32 AM, and sunset will be at about 4:34 PM. For fish activity, winter steelhead are starting to arrive in the rivers. In the Coos River Basin, anglers are catching rockfish around the jetties, particularly near slack tides. A jig with a twister tail trailer is a good option for bottomfish. The daily bag limit for general marine fish is 5 fish plus 2 lingcod, with no retention of yelloweye or quillback rockfish. You can also harvest 1 cabezon per day as part of this limit[1]. Yesterday's fishing trips were successful, especially for rockfish and lingcod. Anglers limited out on both species despite the rough ocean conditions earlier in the week[4]. For steelhead fishing, which is gaining traction, only hatchery steelhead can be harvested. In areas like the Umpqua River, a few winter steelhead are starting to cross Winchester Dam, though it's still a bit early for peak activity[1]. Best lures and bait for today would include jigs with twister tail trailers for rockfish and lingcod, and for steelhead, using bait like roe or small jigs. Hot spots include the Coos River Basin, particularly around the jetties in the lower Coos Bay estuary, and the Umpqua River, especially in the Elkton area where early winter steelhead are being targeted[1].

A weak front is approaching the coastal waters, but the real action will come later with a stronger system arriving Friday and Saturday. For today, expect east to southeast winds at about 5 to 10 knots, with seas around 6 to 7 feet. There's a chance of showers this morning and early afternoon[3]. Tides are an important factor, especially if you're targeting bottomfish or surfperch. Today, you can expect a high tide of around 8.7 feet at 2:04 PM and a low tide of -0.6 feet at 9:04 PM. Fishing near slack tides, especially around the jetties in the lower Coos Bay estuary, tends to be more productive[1][2]. Sunrise today is at 7:42 AM, and sunset will be at 4:31 PM, giving you about 8 hours and 48 minutes of daylight[4]. For fish activity, December is a great time to target steelhead, especially since the steelhead season runs from December 1 to March 30. You'll need the Rogue South Coast Steelhead Validation for this. Winter steelhead usually arrive around Thanksgiving and will be available when river conditions are favorable. Be aware that coho salmon are in spawning areas and may be hooked while steelhead fishing, but the harvest of wild coho is closed for the season[1]. In the Coos River Basin, you can catch rockfish around the jetties. A jig fished with a twister tail trailer is a good option. The daily general marine fish bag limit is 5 fish plus 2 lingcod, with no retention of yelloweye or quillback rockfish. You can also harvest 1 cabezon per day as part of the general marine fish bag limit[1]. For bass and trout in places like Cooper Creek Reservoir, fishing has slowed with the cooling weather. Try angling mid-day on warmer days with a slower presentation. This technique should also work for bass anglers[1]. Hot spots include the Coos Bay estuary for bottomfish and the jetties for rockfish. If you're after steelhead, the rivers in the Southwest Zone, particularly those around the Rogue South Coast area, are good bets. Remember to check the local regulations and ensure you have the necessary permits before you head out.

Fishing near slack tides, especially during the high tide, has historically been more productive for species like salmon and bottomfish. ### Weather The weather forecast indicates a partly cloudy day with winds at about 10-15 mph and wave heights around 8-10 feet. While these conditions are manageable, they might make the ocean a bit choppy, especially for smaller boats. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is at 7:28 AM, and sunset is at 4:29 PM, providing a decent window for daytime fishing. ### Fish Activity Yesterday's fishing reports from the Oregon coast suggest that bottomfish like lingcod and rockfish were active. According to Dockside Charters, anglers had successful days catching limits of lingcod and near-limits of rockfish[4]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Lingcod and rockfish were the stars of the show, with many anglers reporting full limits. Lingcod were particularly hungry, with catches including several large fish. The general marine fish bag limit allows for 5 fish, with specific limits for lingcod (2 fish, minimum 22 inches) and cabezon (1 fish, minimum 16 inches)[4]. ### Best Lures and Bait For bottomfish, a jig head with a rubber swim bait is highly effective, especially for lingcod. Rockfish can be caught using similar setups or with bait like squid or shrimp. For those targeting salmon, although the ocean recreational salmon season is closed, the estuaries and bays might still yield some coho, especially near slack tides with lures like spinners or bait like herring[3][4]. ### Hot Spots - **Coos Bay Estuary**: Known for its rockfish and lingcod, fishing around the jetties near slack tides can be very productive. - **Offshore near Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain**: This area has been good for bottomfish and, during open seasons, coho salmon. Keep in mind that the ocean conditions can change quickly, so it's always a good idea to check the latest forecasts and regulation updates before heading out.

The general marine fish bag limit allows for 5 fish, with specific limits for lingcod (2 fish, minimum 22 inches) and cabezon (1 fish, minimum 16 inches)[4]. ### Best Lures and Bait For bottomfish, a jig head with a rubber swim bait is highly effective, especially for lingcod. Rockfish can be caught using similar setups or with bait like squid or shrimp. For those targeting salmon, although the ocean recreational salmon season is closed, the estuaries and bays might still yield some coho, especially near slack tides with lures like spinners or bait like herring[3][4]. ### Hot Spots - **Coos Bay Estuary**: Known for its rockfish and lingcod, fishing around the jetties near slack tides can be very productive. - **Offshore near Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain**: This area has been good for bottomfish and, during open seasons, coho salmon. Keep in mind that the ocean conditions can change quickly, so it's always a good idea to check the latest forecasts and regulation updates before heading out.

Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect today: ### Weather and Tides The weather is rough, with strong winds and significant wave activity, making offshore fishing difficult. Tides for today are as follows: high tide at 7:47 AM and low tide at 1:47 PM. The changing tides can affect fish activity, especially in estuaries and bays. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at 7:28 AM, and sunset will be at 4:28 PM, giving you a decent window for fishing despite the weather. ### Fish Activity Yesterday, despite the challenging conditions, some anglers managed to catch a few fish. The Buoy 10 area, which is usually productive, saw some action but mostly with smaller fish. Coho salmon were the primary catch, with a few Chinook salmon being released as per the regulations[2]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish In the Buoy 10 area, anglers caught mostly coho salmon, with some reports of Chinook salmon that had to be released. The ocean recreational salmon fishing season is technically closed, but some fish are still present in the estuaries and bays[4]. ### Best Lures and Bait For coho salmon, using spinners, spoons, or flies that mimic baitfish can be effective. In the estuaries, a jig head with a rubber swim bait or a simple spinner rig can work well. For those targeting bottomfish, a jig head with a rubber swim bait or squid is a good choice[4]. ### Hot Spots - **Buoy 10 Area**: This area is known for its productivity, especially on high tides. It's a good spot for coho and Chinook salmon, although the latter must be released currently. - **Tillamook Bay**: While the salmon fishing here is slow as most fish have moved into the rivers, there are still some fish coming through the bay. The Wilson River, which feeds into Tillamook Bay, is another good spot to try[3]. ### Free Fishing Days Remember, today and yesterday are Oregon's free fishing days, so you don't need a license to fish, crab, or clam anywhere in Oregon. This is a great opportunity to introduce someone new to fishing or to enjoy the sport without the licensing hassle[1][3][4]. Stay safe, and be mindful of the weather conditions.

Today, sunrise is around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be about 5:00 PM. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at 9:30 AM and a low tide at 3:30 PM. The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with light winds, making it a decent day to be out on the water. Ocean salmon fishing has closed for the season in most areas, but there are still plenty of other species to target. Yesterday, anglers had great success with rockfish and lingcod. Boats out of Depoe Bay reported limiting out on rockfish and catching some nice lingcod. The offshore longleader fishery, open year-round outside the 40-fathom regulatory line, saw good catches of various rockfish species including yellowtail, widow, canary, blue, deacon, redstripe, greenstripe, silvergray, chillipepper, and bocaccio rockfish. For rockfish and lingcod, using lures like jigs or bait such as sand shrimp, mole crabs, or artificial sand worms can be very effective. When targeting lingcod, remember there is a 22-inch minimum size limit. If you're looking for a good spot, consider the waters outside Depoe Bay, which have been producing good rockfish and lingcod catches. Another area to try is the Central Coast Subarea between Cape Falcon and Humbug Mountain. Overall, it should be a good day for bottom fishing, so gear up and head out to take advantage of the calm weather and active fish. Always check the latest regulations before you go.

Here’s what you need to know: ### Weather and Tides The weather forecast indicates rough seas with waves expected to be around 20 feet, accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds. This makes venturing out into the ocean hazardous. Tides for today show a high tide at around 9:30 AM and a low tide at 3:30 PM, but the turbulent conditions will likely affect fishing significantly. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is at 7:06 AM, and sunset will be at 4:42 PM, providing a relatively short window for fishing, especially given the poor weather. ### Fish Activity Despite the adverse conditions, recent reports suggest that when the ocean was calmer, there were excellent catches of Lingcod and rockfish. On November 7, Dockside Charters reported catching a limit of rockfish and around 35 large Lingcod on both Wednesday and Thursday[1]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Lingcod and rockfish have been the primary catches in recent good weather windows. However, with the current weather, it's unlikely that many boats will be out today. The bag limit for Lingcod is two fish per person with a minimum size of 22 inches, and the general marine fish bag limit is five fish per person[1][5]. ### Best Lures and Bait For Lingcod, a jig head with a rubber swim bait is highly effective. For rockfish, using squid or shrimp as bait can be very productive. When conditions improve, these lures and baits should yield good results[5]. ### Hot Spots When the weather calms down, Depoe Bay and Brookings are usually good spots for bottomfishing. Depoe Bay, despite challenging bar conditions recently, can offer moderate success for bottomfish. Brookings, on the other hand, has seen near limits of bottomfish even in poor conditions[5]. Given the current weather, it's advisable to wait for calmer seas before heading out. Keep an eye on the forecasts and be prepared to hit the water as soon as conditions improve.

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 09:47:00 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI As of November 17, 2024, the fishing scene on the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coast is quite challenging due to the onset of winter conditions. Here’s what you need to know: ### Weather and Tides The weather forecast indicates rough seas with waves expected to be around 20 feet, accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds. This makes venturing out into the ocean hazardous. Tides for today show a high tide at around 9:30 AM and a low tide at 3:30 PM, but the turbulent conditions will likely affect fishing significantly. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is at 7:06 AM, and sunset will be at 4:42 PM, providing a relatively short window for fishing, especially given the poor weather. ### Fish Activity Despite the adverse conditions, recent reports suggest that when the ocean was calmer, there were excellent catches of Lingcod and rockfish. On November 7, Dockside Charters reported catching a limit of rockfish and around 35 large Lingcod on both Wednesday and Thursday[1]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Lingcod and rockfish have been the primary catches in recent good weather windows. However, with the current weather, it's unlikely that many boats will be out today. The bag limit for Lingcod is two fish per person with a minimum size of 22 inches, and the general marine fish bag limit is five fish per person[1][5]. ### Best Lures and Bait For Lingcod, a jig head with a rubber swim bait is highly effective. For rockfish, using squid or shrimp as bait can be very productive. When conditions improve, these lures and baits should yield good results[5]. ### Hot Spots When the weather calms down, Depoe Bay and Brookings are usually good spots for bottomfishing.

This is expected to continue through the next week, making it difficult for boats to venture out. Tides for today show a high tide at around 10:30 AM and a low tide at 4:30 PM, which could affect the accessibility and fish activity in certain areas. **Sunrise and Sunset:** Sunrise today is at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 4:34 PM, giving anglers a decent window to try their luck despite the harsh weather. **Fish Activity:** Yesterday's fishing report from Dockside Charters indicated excellent catches of Lingcod and rockfish before the weather deteriorated. They managed to catch around 35 large Lingcod and a limit of rockfish on both Wednesday and Thursday[1]. **Types of Fish:** Lingcod and rockfish are the primary targets in these conditions. Lingcod are particularly active in rocky areas and can be caught using jig heads with rubber swim baits. The minimum legal size for Lingcod is 22 inches, and the daily limit is two fish per person[4]. **Best Lures and Bait:** For Lingcod, a jig head with a rubber swim bait is highly effective. For rockfish, using squid or shrimp as bait can yield good results. Given the rough seas, it's advisable to use sturdy gear that can withstand the conditions. **Hot Spots:** Despite the challenging weather, areas like Depoe Bay and Brookings might offer some opportunities. Brookings saw a few boats braving the conditions last week and were rewarded with near limits of bottomfish. However, be cautious of the bar conditions at Depoe Bay, which have been challenging lately[4]. In summary, while the weather is not ideal, those willing to brave the conditions can still find success in catching Lingcod and rockfish in the rocky areas along the Oregon coast. Always keep an eye on the weather forecast and tidal changes to ensure safe and productive fishing. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Here’s what you need to know for today’s fishing trip: **Weather and Tides:** The weather forecast indicates strong winds, heavy seas, and rain, making conditions rough for anglers. Tides for today show a high tide at around 9:30 AM and a low tide at 3:30 PM. These conditions might limit fishing opportunities, especially for smaller boats. **Sunrise and Sunset:** Sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and sunset is at 4:43 PM, giving you a decent window to brave the conditions if you decide to head out. **Fish Activity:** Yesterday, fishing was slow due to poor weather conditions. However, when boats were able to venture out, they reported catching some bottomfish, including rockfish and lingcod. The lingcod were particularly active, with many anglers taking home limits of these fish despite the challenging weather[2][4]. **Types of Fish:** The primary catches in recent days have been rockfish, black cod, and lingcod. The Pacific halibut season is now closed for the remainder of 2024, and the ocean recreational salmon fishing season has also closed[4]. **Best Lures and Bait:** For bottomfish like rockfish and lingcod, using jig heads with rubber swim baits or live bait such as anchovies or herring can be effective. For lingcod, a common setup is a jig head with a rubber swim bait, and it's essential to have a measuring device on hand since the minimum legal size for lingcod is 22 inches[4]. **Hot Spots:** If you're looking to brave the weather, Depoe Bay and Brookings have been showing some activity. At Depoe Bay, a small number of boats managed to fish last week with moderate success, while Brookings saw boats returning with near limits of bottomfish[4]. Keep in mind that the weather is a significant factor, and it might be wise to wait for clearer conditions before heading out. Always check the latest updates from local charter offices or the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for any changes in regulations or fishing conditions.

The winds will be moderate, blowing at about 10 mph from the northwest. Tides are crucial for fishing; today's high tide is at 9:47 AM and the low tide at 3:33 PM. **Sunrise and Sunset:** Sunrise is at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 4:43 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing. **Fish Activity:** Ocean salmon fishing in most areas is now closed for the season. The last day for ocean salmon fishing in the area from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain was October 31, and the area from Humbug Mountain to the Oregon/California border has also closed[2]. However, if you're looking for other species, bottomfishing remains a viable option. Recent reports indicate good catches of rockfish, including blue, black, and yellowtail rockfish, as well as lingcod. For example, at Depoe Bay, catches were good with an average of 4 fish per angler, including a mix of rockfish and lingcod[2]. **Best Lures and Bait:** For bottomfishing, using squid or shrimp as bait can be very effective. Lures such as jigs and spoons also work well for rockfish and lingcod. If you're targeting lingcod specifically, try using larger jigs or lures that mimic their natural prey. **Hot Spots:** - **Depoe Bay:** Known for its consistent bottomfishing, Depoe Bay has been producing good catches of rockfish and lingcod. - **Newport:** This area has also seen decent catches of rockfish and lingcod, making it another good spot to try your luck. While the salmon season is closed, the bottomfishing opportunities make the Pacific Ocean off Oregon still worth a visit. Always check the latest regulation updates before heading out, as rules can change[2][5]. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

These slack tides often make for good fishing conditions. The weather is expected to be mild, with partial cloud cover and light winds, making it an ideal day to be out on the water. Sunrise is at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 4:43 PM. ### Fish Activity Ocean salmon fishing has been a mixed bag lately. In the area from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, the season for Chinook salmon is still open until October 31, but the non-mark-selective coho season is closed. However, anglers have been reporting good catches of coho salmon in the Buoy 10 area and further out in the ocean, although the coho quota has been largely filled, which might lead to an early closure for ocean fishing[2][3]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught Yesterday, anglers reported catching a significant number of coho salmon, with some areas seeing more action than others. In the Buoy 10 area, coho were plentiful, but many were not fin-clipped, making them ineligible for retention. Chinook salmon catches were also reported, particularly in the ocean west of Astoria, though these must now be released in the Buoy 10 area[2]. ### Best Lures and Bait For salmon, using hoochies or spinners with a flasher setup has been effective. In the Buoy 10 area, trolling with a cut plug herring or anchovy has yielded good results. For bottomfish, which are still active in areas like Depoe Bay and Newport, a jig with a twister tail trailer is a good option[2][3]. ### Hot Spots One of the hot spots right now is the area around Buoy 10, where the Columbia River meets the ocean. This area has been productive for both coho and Chinook salmon, especially on high tides. Another good spot is the stretch from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, where Chinook salmon fishing is still open until the end of October[2][3]. Overall, it's a good time to get out on the water, especially if you're targeting coho or looking to catch some bottomfish. Just be sure to check the latest regulations and catch limits before you head out. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The sunrise was at 6:53 AM, and the sunset will be at 4:43 PM. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at 9:15 AM and a low tide at 3:15 PM, which could make for some good fishing conditions around the slack tides. **Fish Activity:** Ocean salmon fishing is now closed for the season from Cape Falcon to the Oregon/California border, but there are still some areas open. From Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, the season closed on October 31, so we're past that window. However, bottomfish and other species are still active. Yesterday, anglers around Depoe Bay and Newport reported good catches of rockfish, including blue, black, and yellowtail rockfish. Lingcod fishing was also decent, with an average catch of about 0.8 fish per angler in Depoe Bay and 1.4 fish per angler in Newport. **Best Lures and Bait:** For bottomfish, a jig fished with a twister tail trailer is always a good option. Cabezon and other rockfish can be caught using lures like plastic grubs or metal jigs. For lingcod, using larger lures or bait like squid or octopus can be effective. **Hot Spots:** Depoe Bay and Newport are still good spots for bottomfish and lingcod. The jetties in the lower Coos Bay estuary are also productive for rockfish, especially around slack tides. While the halibut season is now closed for the year, the offshore longleader fishery remains open year-round, allowing anglers to catch a variety of rockfish species outside the 40-fathom regulatory line. Overall, it's a good time to target bottomfish and lingcod, and with the right gear and knowledge of the tides, you can have a successful day on the water.

This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 162 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI4240592582 As of October 24, 2024, the fishing scene in the Pacific Ocean off Oregon's coast is shaping up to be quite promising, especially with the right conditions. ### Tidal and Weather Report Today, the tides are favorable, with a high tide at around 9:30 AM and a low tide at 3:30 PM. The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a gentle breeze, making it ideal for a day out on the water. Sunrise is at 7:38 AM, and sunset will be at 6:00 PM. ### Fish Activity Ocean salmon fishing remains open shoreward of the 40-fathom line from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain for Chinook salmon through October 31. However, the coho season is closed in this area. Yesterday saw minimal effort due to weather conditions, but anglers who ventured out reported catching a few Chinook salmon, particularly around Garibaldi, with a catch rate of about 0.10 salmon per angler. ### Types and Amounts of Fish The primary target species right now is the Chinook salmon. Anglers are allowed a daily bag limit of two salmon, but all coho must be released. In addition to salmon, bottom fishing has been productive, with anglers catching black, copper, and yellowtail rockfish, as well as some lingcod. Cabezon fishing is also open, with a daily sub-bag limit of one fish and a minimum length of 16 inches. ### Best Lures and Bait For salmon, trolling anchovies and flashers is highly effective. The use of downriggers to get your gear to the right depth can significantly improve your chances. For bottom fishing, using squid or shrimp as bait can attract rockfish and lingcod. Artificial sand worms and mole crabs are also good options for surfperch along the rocky shorelines. ### Hot Spots - **Garibaldi**: This area has seen some activity for Chinook salmon and is a good spot to try your luck. - **Newport**: Known for its consistent catches of rockfish and lingcod, Newport is a reliable spot for bottom fishing. - **Depoe Bay**: While fishing was slower here last week, it's still a viable spot for catching a variety of bottom fish. Make sure to check the latest regulation updates and ensure you have the necessary permits and gear before heading out.

These tides should provide decent conditions for both nearshore and offshore fishing. ### Weather The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with light winds, making it a relatively calm day on the water. Temperatures will be in the mid-50s to low 60s, which is typical for this time of year. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at 7:43 AM, and sunset will be at 6:02 PM, giving you a full day to get out on the water. ### Fish Activity Ocean salmon fishing remains open in certain areas. From Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, you can still catch Chinook salmon shoreward of the 40-fathom regulatory line until October 31, with a daily bag limit of two salmon, but coho salmon are closed. For Pacific halibut, the Central Oregon Coast and Southern Oregon subareas are still open at all depths, seven days a week, with a two-fish bag limit per angler. However, effort for halibut has been winding down as anglers shift focus to inland salmon fishing. ### Catch Reports Yesterday, the catch rates were varied across different ports. At Newport, the effort was low, but catch rates were just over 0.5 fish per angler for halibut. For bottomfish, catches were good in several areas, with Garibaldi seeing about 4 fish per angler, mostly black rockfish, and Depoe Bay averaging about 3 fish per angler with a mix of rockfish species. ### Best Lures and Bait For halibut, using large jigs or bait such as squid, octopus, or herring can be effective. For bottomfish, lures like metal jigs or baited hooks with squid, shrimp, or anchovies work well. ### Hot Spots - **Garibaldi**: Known for good bottomfish catches, especially black rockfish and lingcod. - **Newport**: Despite low effort, it still offers decent halibut and bottomfish opportunities. - **Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain**: This area is open for Chinook salmon fishing and can be a good spot to catch some salmon before the season closes. Overall, it's a good day to get out and try your luck, especially if you're targeting bottomfish or looking to catch some of the remaining halibut or Chinook salmon in the open areas.

Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water. ### Tidal and Weather Conditions Today, the tides are moderate, with the high tide at around 9:30 AM and the low tide at about 3:30 PM. Weather conditions are expected to be rough, with moderate winds and waves, so be prepared for a bumpy ride. Sunrise is at 7:33 AM, and sunset will be at 6:03 PM. ### Fish Activity Yesterday saw decent catches of salmon, particularly in areas shoreward of the 40-fathom regulatory line from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain. However, it's important to note that coho salmon fishing is currently closed in this area, so you'll be targeting Chinook salmon. The average catch rate has been around 0.35 salmon per angler, with the highest rates observed in the Garibaldi area. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Chinook salmon are the primary target right now, with a daily bag limit of two salmon, but only one can be a Chinook. Anglers have been catching a fair number of these fish, especially in the morning and late afternoon when the tides are favorable. ### Best Lures and Bait For Chinook salmon, trolling with anchovies and flashers is highly effective. Using hoochies or spoons can also yield good results. Make sure to adjust your depth according to the tide and fish activity. ### Hot Spots One of the hot spots right now is the area around Garibaldi, where catch rates have been higher than in other parts of the coast. Another good spot is near the mouth of the Columbia River, particularly around Buoy 10, although the fishery here has been more focused on coho in recent weeks. In summary, today's fishing off the Oregon coast looks promising for Chinook salmon, especially if you're willing to brave the rough conditions. Head out early, use the right lures, and keep an eye on those tides for the best results. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The sunrise was at 7:27 AM, and sunset is expected at 6:14 PM. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at 10:44 AM and a low tide at 4:17 PM, which can influence fish activity. ### Fish Activity Yesterday saw good action for rockfish and lingcod. According to reports, most boats did well on rockfish, with some really nice catches. Lingcod were also plentiful, especially around Depoe Bay and Newport. For salmon, the focus is on Chinook, as ocean salmon fishing remains open shoreward of the 40-fathom line from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain through October 31. However, coho salmon fishing is currently closed in this area. ### Catches Yesterday's catches included a variety of rockfish species such as black rockfish, deacon rockfish, and yellowtail rockfish. Lingcod were also common, with some boats averaging around one lingcod per angler. For those targeting salmon, the catch rates were lower, with an average of about 0.35 salmon per angler, but Garibaldi saw slightly better rates at 0.44 salmon per angler. ### Best Lures and Bait For rockfish and lingcod, using jigs and lures that mimic their natural prey works well. A favorite among locals is the use of squid or shrimp as bait, especially for lingcod. For salmon, trolling with anchovies and flashers is highly effective, particularly in areas where the fish are moving into and out of the estuary with the tides. ### Hot Spots Depoe Bay and Newport are currently hot spots for rockfish and lingcod. For salmon, the area around Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain is your best bet, especially near the estuary entrances where salmon are moving in with the tides. Garibaldi is also worth a visit, given its slightly higher catch rates for salmon. Overall, it's a good time to be out on the water, especially if you're targeting bottom fish or looking to catch some Chinook salmon before the season closes. Always check the latest regulations and ensure you have the necessary gear and licenses. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

These tides should provide decent fishing conditions, especially during the peak hours. ### Weather The weather is a bit rough, with winds gusting up to 20 knots and waves reaching 8-10 feet. However, for experienced anglers, these conditions can still yield good results. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at 7:21 AM, and sunset is at 6:24 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips. ### Fish Activity Yesterday, the fish activity was decent, given the weather. Anglers focused their efforts inland due to the unfavorable ocean conditions, but those who ventured out reported catching some salmon. The average catch rate was about 0.35 salmon per angler, with the highest rate seen in the Garibaldi area at 0.44 salmon per angler. ### Types of Fish Caught The primary catch has been Chinook salmon, as coho salmon fishing is currently closed in many areas. In the Columbia River subarea, the season is now closed, but areas like Garibaldi and other parts of the Central Oregon Coast and Southern Oregon subareas remain open. ### Best Lures and Bait For salmon, using hoochies or spinners behind a dodger can be effective. Bait such as anchovies or herring, either whole or cut-plug, are also good choices. For bottom fish, which are still active, using squid or shrimp on a longleader setup can yield black rockfish, lingcod, and other species. ### Hot Spots - **Garibaldi**: This area has seen the highest catch rates for salmon and is a good spot to try your luck. - **Newport**: While the effort was low last week, Newport still offers a mix of black rockfish, deacon rockfish, and yellowtail rockfish, along with some lingcod. Keep in mind that ocean conditions can change quickly, so always check the latest updates before heading out. Additionally, be mindful of the regulations, as they can change, especially for species like coho and halibut. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The winds are moderate, blowing at about 10 mph from the northwest. Tides are crucial for fishing, and today we have a high tide at 9:15 AM and a low tide at 3:15 PM, which should provide some good windows for fishing. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 6:24 PM, giving you a full day to get out on the water. ### Fish Activity Yesterday saw a mix of fish activity, particularly for those targeting bottomfish and halibut. The ocean conditions, although a bit rough, did not deter anglers from catching some nice rockfish, lingcod, and even some halibut. According to reports, the Tacklebuster crew managed to catch some really nice rockfish and averaged a lingcod per person, despite the slower start due to adverse ocean conditions. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught The primary catches included rockfish, with a good mix of black, deacon, China, and yellowtail rockfish. Lingcod catches were also notable, especially in areas like Depoe Bay and Newport. Halibut fishing, though winding down, still yielded some catches, particularly for those fishing in the Central Oregon Coast and Southern Oregon subareas. ### Best Lures and Bait For rockfish and lingcod, using jigs and lures that mimic their natural prey works well. Squid and shrimp are excellent baits for these species. For halibut, larger jigs and bait such as herring or anchovies can be very effective. ### Hot Spots If you're looking for some hot spots, consider the areas around Depoe Bay and Newport. These ports have seen consistent catches of rockfish and lingcod. Another good spot is the area shoreward of the 40-fathom regulatory line from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, where you can still catch Chinook salmon, though coho salmon are currently off-limits in this area. Overall, it's a good time to get out on the water, especially if you're targeting bottomfish and halibut. Just be sure to check the latest regulations and weather forecasts before you head out.
