  • Summary

  • As of November 9, 2024, the fishing scene along the Oregon coast is winding down, but there are still some great opportunities to catch a variety of fish.

    **Tidal Report:**
    Today, the tides are relatively moderate, with a high tide at around 10:30 AM and a low tide at about 4:30 PM. These tides should provide good conditions for bottom fishing.

    **Weather:**
    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with mild temperatures, making it a pleasant day to be out on the water. There is a light breeze, which should not hinder fishing activities.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is at 6:54 AM, and sunset is at 4:42 PM, giving you a full day to enjoy the ocean.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Yesterday saw good activity for bottomfish and lingcod. Anglers reported catching a mix of blue, black, and yellowtail rockfish, along with some lingcod. The best areas were around Garibaldi, Depoe Bay, and Newport, where catch rates were close to limits[4].

    **Types and Amounts of Fish:**
    In the Central Oregon Coast and Southern Oregon subareas, anglers were catching around 3-4 fish per angler, with a mix of rockfish species and lingcod. The daily bag limit for bottomfish is 5 fish plus 2 lingcod, with no retention of yelloweye or quillback rockfish[4].

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For bottomfish, jigs with twister tail trailers are highly effective. Using squid or shrimp as bait can also yield good results. For lingcod, try using larger jigs or bait such as herring or anchovies.

    **Hot Spots:**
    - **Depoe Bay:** Known for its good catches of rockfish and lingcod, with an average catch of 4 fish per angler.
    - **Newport:** This area has been producing around 3 fish per angler, mostly black, yellowtail, and deacon rockfish, along with a good number of lingcod.

    While ocean salmon fishing is now closed in many areas, the bottomfish and lingcod fishing remain active and rewarding. Make sure to check the latest regulations and enjoy the last bit of the season.
