  • Summary

  • As of November 1, 2024, the fishing scene along the Oregon coast is transitioning into the late fall season. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day out on the Pacific Ocean.

    **Weather and Tides:**
    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 58°F and a low of 48°F. The winds will be moderate, blowing at about 10 mph from the northwest. Tides are crucial; today’s high tide is at 9:04 AM, and the low tide is at 2:35 PM. These conditions should provide a decent window for fishing.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is at 7:28 AM, and sunset will be at 5:02 PM, giving you a good amount of daylight to get out and catch some fish.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Yesterday saw good activity for bottomfish, particularly rockfish and lingcod. Boats out of Depoe Bay reported limiting out on rockfish, with some nice lingcod catches as well.

    **Catch Reports:**
    Lingcod were a highlight, with an average catch rate of about 0.25 to 0.33 fish per angler in various ports like Depoe Bay, Newport, and Charleston. Rockfish, including black, copper, and yellowtail rockfish, were abundant, with anglers bringing in limits in several areas.

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For lingcod, a jig head with a rubber swim bait is highly effective. For rockfish, using a jig with a twister tail trailer can yield good results. Live bait such as anchovies or herring can also be very productive for both lingcod and rockfish.

    **Hot Spots:**
    Depoe Bay and Newport are currently hot spots for bottomfish. Depoe Bay saw good catches of rockfish and lingcod, while Newport had an average catch rate of 4 fish per angler for rockfish and decent lingcod catches.

    In summary, today looks promising for bottomfish fishing along the Oregon coast. Make sure to check the tides, use the right lures and bait, and head to spots like Depoe Bay or Newport for a successful fishing trip.
