Oregon Coast Fishing Report: Chilly Mornings, Productive Tides, and Late-Season Salmon
Artificial Lure here with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for Monday, November 17th, 2025. It’s a chilly, classic November morning on the coast—salty air and the bite of dawn, just how we like it.
Let’s start with the numbers. Sun rose at 7:14 AM and we’re looking at sunset around 4:54 PM today. We’ve got about nine hours, forty minutes of daylight to work with, so make those casts count.
Tides are cooperating for early and mid-morning action: Barview in Tillamook Bay saw a low tide of 2.18 ft at 3:45 AM, swinging up to a big high tide just before 10 AM at 7.64 ft, then another dip this evening. Newport’s high is also around 10 AM, peaking at 8.33 ft according to NOAA, so the incoming tide is your sweet spot on most Oregon beaches today. That rising water will have bait moving and fish actively feeding along the shore and in the lower bays.
Weather-wise, expect scattered clouds and chilly temps in the low 50s. Winds are expected at 10–15 knots and seas building to about 5–7 feet later per National Weather Service Marine Forecasts, with a Small Craft Advisory offshore. If you’re heading out deeper than the jetties, keep an ear on the marine channel.
Now, the bite: Rockfish, lingcod, and the occasional cabezon made up the majority of recent catches both from charters and jetty regulars, with boats out of Depoe Bay and Garibaldi reporting solid limits of black rockfish, a few chunky vermilions, and some keeper lingcod. Ocean Dungeness crab remains hit-or-miss, but a few patient folks are hauling nice pots from the lower estuaries.
Chinook salmon runs are mostly wrapped on the mainstem rivers for the year, but surf anglers found some late coho over the weekend, especially around the mouths of the Alsea and Siletz Rivers. Herring-pattern spoons and twitching jigs were the ticket for those last chrome-bright fish, and several were caught Sunday by anglers working the incoming tide.
For lures, bright metal spoons like Kastmasters and Point Wilson Darts are pulling rockfish and late salmon. Big curly-tail plastics in motor oil or chartreuse colors fished deep near rocky structure are best for lingcod. Fresh herring or sand shrimp are solid baits if you can get them; otherwise, gulp soft baits tipped on a leadhead jig are hot.
A couple of hot spots worth your time:
- The Garibaldi South Jetty has been producing consistent lingcod and rockfish on the outgoing tide, especially mid-morning.
- The mouths of the Siletz and Alsea Rivers are still kicking out a few coho and sea-run cutthroat on spinners and jigs, particularly with today’s good morning tide swing.
If you’re out west of Newport on an ocean charter, be ready for a bit of swell but expect fine rockfish and maybe a late crab pull. If you prefer staying closer to shore, the jetties in Pacific City and Depot Bay are delivering classic November action—just watch your step on that slick granite.
That’s the scoop today from Artificial Lure—thanks for tuning in. Make sure to subscribe for daily updates and always fish safe out there. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
