Late Fall Fishing on the Oregon Coast: A Detailed Pacific Report
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Oregon coast Pacific fishing report for Wednesday, November 19, 2025.
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 water clarity drops after a rain.
To wrap up: this is a classic November for the Oregon Pacific—dress warm, respect the surf, and work that changing tide. Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure’s fishing report. Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a bite or a tip.
