  • Summary

  • As of November 3, 2024, if you're planning to head out to fish in the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coast, here's what you can expect:

    ### Tidal and Weather Conditions
    Today, you can anticipate a mixed bag of tidal conditions. The sunrise is at around 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at about 4:53 PM. Weather-wise, expect partly cloudy skies with moderate winds, which should make for decent fishing conditions.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a good amount of activity for bottomfish and lingcod. Anglers reported catching a variety of rockfish species, including black, yellowtail, and deacon rockfish. Lingcod catches were also promising, though a bit hit or miss.

    ### Catch Reports
    In ports like Newport, anglers brought in an average of 4 fish per angler, mostly consisting of black, yellowtail, and deacon rockfish. Lingcod catches averaged about 0.25 fish per angler. At Charleston, catch rates were good with about 4 fish per angler, including a mix of black, canary, yellowtail, and deacon rockfish. Brookings also saw good bottomfish fishing with catch rates around 4 fish per angler and lingcod rates close to 0.33 fish per angler.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For rockfish and lingcod, a jig head with a rubber swim bait is highly effective. Using a twister tail trailer on a jig can also yield good results, especially around the jetties in lower bays. For lingcod, packing a measuring device is essential, as the minimum legal size is 22 inches.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Newport**: Known for its consistent catches of rockfish and occasional lingcod.
    - **Charleston**: Offers a mix of rockfish species and decent lingcod catches.
    - **Brookings**: Good for bottomfish fishing, particularly around the jetties in the lower Coos Bay estuary.

    Make sure to check the current regulations and bag limits before you head out, as they can change. The daily general marine fish bag limit is 5 fish plus 2 lingcod, with no retention of yelloweye or quillback rockfish.

    Enjoy your day on the water
