Monday morning, November 24th, and it’s Artificial Lure with your angler’s report for the Pacific Coast of Oregon. Winds are light, the sea’s mellow, and the rain is giving us a break—making early hours on the jetty or beach bearable and even pretty inviting. Sunrise came at 7:25 AM, and you’ve got daylight until sunset at 4:37 PM according to Tides4Fishing.

Let’s talk tides—the life of saltwater fishing. Newport and Tillamook Bay both show a **high tide coming in around 3:30 to 3:35 AM**, with a respectable 6-foot swing, and dropping to a **low tide near 8 AM**. Working that falling tide early, especially those last few hours before dead low, is prime for surf perch and rockfish pushing bait to shore. If you’re working jetties, fish those outgoing tides with heavier gear—the water’s moving and so are the fish.

Weather is classic late November. Pack a waterproof shell and something warm under it. Latest NOAA briefing called for light southwest winds and a marine layer lingering offshore, but it’s mostly dry—ideal for both surf and boat anglers.

We saw **solid catches recently from shorelines and nearshore boats**. Folks tossed Berkley Gulp Minnows and Sandworms and pulled up good numbers of surf perch up and down the beaches—especially at **South Jetty in Newport** and **Barview Jetty off Tillamook Bay**. Both spots are hot right now, the swells are calm, and the tops of the tides bring improved feeding activity.

**Rockfish and lingcod went for jigging gear off Yaquina Head and Depoe Bay**, with limits reported before noon over recent trips. Glow jigs and curly-tail plastics with added scent—like the Oregon Lure Cepholospin Squid with UV colors—crushed it on overcast days. On deeper reefs, tip your jig with squid strips or cut bait for extra strikes; boats running cut bait from their own catch did well.

The **crabbing is fair to good** from piers and pots—expect fair numbers of keepers, especially out of Netarts Bay and off the Newport docks. The rain freshened up the estuaries so crab are moving toward saltier open water. Chicken legs and fish carcasses remain your best bet in the pots.

It’s late fall, so **salmon action is now mostly upstream** and steelhead are starting to trickle in. A few anglers on the Siletz and Alsea Rivers reported hookup rates improving with eggs and pink worms, but if you’re on the salt, it’s rockfish, lingcod, and perch you want to target.

For bait and tackle, stick to what's working:
- **Soft plastics** in sandworm or shrimp colors for perch.
- **Glow jigs tipped with squid** for rockfish and lingcod.
- **Cut bait** from the morning’s catch for variety—amberjack and mackerel included.
- For trout in the coastal streams, Powerbait and Carolina rigs are still bringing fish.

Today’s **best bite windows** are minor around 8:47–9:47 AM and again at dusk, while major feeding runs about 12:43–2:43 PM according to Solunar forecasts.

A couple of local hot spots to hit:
- **South Jetty, Newport**: At the tip near low tide, perch and rockfish have been consistent.
- **Barview Jetty, Tillamook Bay**: Lingcod and crab action in the deeper crevices—best with squid and glow plastics.
