Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Tuesday, November 11, 2025 fishing report for the mighty Oregon Pacific—fresh off the docks and right from the rain-soaked coastline. If you’re thinking about hitting the salt or the bays today, listen up! We’ve got the latest on tides, weather, fish bites, catches, lures, and hot spots. Here’s what you need to know before you grab that rod or launch the boat.

First, sunrise sets the mood at 7:09am, with sunset coming early at 4:50pm, so you’ll want to fish smart and pack a headlamp if you’re ambitious for a close. The tides at Pacific City and Nestucca Bay show a high of 6.34 feet at 5:53am, out to a pretty moderate low at 11:18am at 3.26 feet, then it peaks up again—prime for that evening bite—with a 6.89 foot high at 4:35pm. That late afternoon swing should have the big ones on the move, especially right before dark, so plan your trip around those windows for best results, as shown by both tides.net and tide-forecast.com.

Now, don’t forget your rain jacket. According to Gordon’s Weekly Weather Update, we’re smack in the middle of a series of November fronts—expect steady rain with breezy conditions cycling through all week. The wind’s got some teeth, so boaters, mind the gusts and keep it safe on the bar crossings. All that overcast and swell can help bring fish closer, especially for surf and jetty anglers.

Let’s talk what’s biting: The lingcod have been absolute fire up and down the coast, especially at the classic rocky outcrops off Depoe Bay and down to Pacific City, as reported by Dockside Charters and confirmed again by Sportfishing Report. Boats have been getting into limits of rockfish and seeing a solid mix of big cabezon and keeper lingcod, with some boats hauling over 100 rockfish and 20-plus ling this weekend. Dungeness crab also remain thick in the pots—if you’re dropping gear, you should see full limits by midday.

Bait-wise, fresh herring on a sliding rig and big swimbaits or lead-head jigs tipped with squid have been the top producers for the lingcod and rockfish. For the jetties and surf, cast 3- to 5-inch paddle-tail swimbaits in white, motor oil, or root beer—Z-Man and Berkley Gulp! have been especially hot, as Discount Tackle notes on emerging tackle trends. If you’re after surf perch, grab some GULP! sandworms or flick a Kastmaster when the tide’s turning.

In the estuaries, especially Tillamook and Netarts Bays, the fall surge of coho is still showing, though the main run is past peak. The Guide’s Forecast on November 8th notes you’ll still find some bright silvers moving through, especially after a rain bump. Bonking a few is possible with spinners—blue-silver or chartreuse—and smaller brad’s wobbler or wigglers. The cut-plug herring or anchovy still works if you can troll when the wind lays down.

Top hot spots today? Try:
- The North Reef off Pacific City—prime for lingcod at the afternoon high tide, especially if you get offshore between the rain squalls.
- The Three Rocks area, just south of Netarts, for big rockfish and a decent shot at late fall coho stragglers.
- The Nestucca River mouth—best for surf perch and a chance at a lost salmon or two on that evening push.

For trout fans, ODFW reports Devil’s Lake near Newport was stocked this week with 3,500 legal-size fish, making it an easy option if the coastal wind whips up too hard.

Stay sharp out there, watch those conditions, and don’t be afraid to switch tactics—bottom bouncing in the swells or casting plastics off the rocks. The Oregon coast rewards the persistent.
