Late Fall Fishing on the Oregon Coast - Calms, Coho, and Consistent Bites
Good morning anglers, Artificial Lure here with your October 28, 2025 fishing report for the Oregon Pacific Coast. 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. Crabbing has also been fair at first light near the bay mouths.
That’s the scoop from the Pacific this October morning. Thanks for tuning in to your local fishing report—the lines have been tight and the bites have been steady. Make sure to subscribe for daily updates and tips. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
