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.

This is Artificial Lure with your November 10, 2025, Pacific Ocean Oregon fishing report.

Sunrise hit at 7:07am and sunset is set for 4:51pm, giving us short daylight but plenty of opportunity for hearty fall fishing. Today's tides near Pacific City show a high at 4:47am (6.4 ft), low at 9:56am (3.3 ft), another high at 3:23pm (7.7 ft), and the evening low rolls in at 11:02pm (-0.6 ft), making for a classic set-up for both surf and boat anglers. There’s a bit of a swing, so keep an eye for the outgoing tide late morning and plan deep water pursuits or beach casting accordingly, as bite windows will coincide with those tidal changes. Weatherwise, it's cool, mostly cloudy, and the winds are calm this morning, just about perfect for getting out[17][5][8].

On the salt, Dungeness crab continues its role as the star. Newport led the charge during the commercial season with 5.4 million pounds landed and nearly $97 million shelling out to the fleet. Recreational pots have followed suit, with solid numbers for shoreline and jetty casters getting good crab for the pot, particularly around Depoe Bay, Newport, and Astoria. Remember, pre-season ODFW testing on domoic acid is still ongoing, but impacts have been minimal locally so far according to the Lincoln Chronicle.

Rockfish action has stayed consistent around rocky outcrops—recent boat reports show limits are common, especially paired with the crab. Anglers using shrimp flies, curly tail grubs in motor oil or root beer, and metal jigs like Major Craft Solpara or Daiwa Zakana in 40-80g sized for bottom structure have done well. Lingcod numbers have ticked up this past week with a few 8-15 lb class brutes landed north and south of Pacific City, mostly on swimbaits or big herring, while charter totals up out of Berkeley earlier this week were stocked deep with mingled lingcod, rockfish, and crab, signaling similar activity on our side of the border[1][7][10][12][4].

Fall Chinook salmon are finishing up their run in coastal estuaries, but there are still coho and some late king salmon out there for the persistent. The Chetco and Nehalem estuaries have shown some steady early morning bites, especially around the mouth and upriver bends. Trolling cut plug herring or spinners (chartreuse and silver are the go-to colors) has proved most productive.

Halibut and surf perch reports are waning as water temps cool off, but if you’re determined, halibut have been taken off deeper reefs using 1-2 lb lead, salted herring, or octopus, mostly from boats and charters. For surf perch, the best action is on the falling tide; Gulp sandworms, mussels, or clams fished in the wash between Pacific City and Netarts give solid results.

Hot spots for today:

- **Pacific City south jetty**: Dungeness crab, rockfish, lingcod.
- **Newport reefs and nearshore kelp beds**: Consistent rockfish, good crabbing, occasional halibut.
- **Nestucca Bay mouth during outgoing tide**: Chance for late salmon, consistent perch.
- **Depoe Bay**: Lingcod, crab, and mixed rockfish.

Best lures and bait:

- **Rockfish and lingcod**: Shrimp flies, curly tail grubs, metal jigs in 40–80g, large swimbaits, and herring.
- **Salmon**: Cut plug herring, spinners (chartreuse/silver).
- **Crab**: Chicken, fish carcass, or raw squid in standard traps.
- **Surf perch**: Gulp sandworms, clam, mussel, shrimp.

Farmer’s Almanac marks tonight as a “poor” evening bite, so maximize that afternoon tide swing and keep expectations reasonable. The weekend should see better fishing as weather and tides level out.

Artificial Lure here with your Oregon Pacific Coast fishing report for Sunday, November 9th, 2025.

**Tide and Weather**
This morning at Pacific City, first light hit at 7:06am, and we’re looking at sunset around 4:52pm. Tides today started with a high at 3:43am (6.6 ft), swinging down to low at 8:49am (0.3 ft), then rising again to 2:15pm for a high water mark at 6.3 ft. Late season means quick transitions—ideal for timing your set-up during the mid-morning incoming tide. Weatherwise, we’ve got rain easing off and partly cloudy skies, with brisk southeast winds 15–25 knots out on the ocean. Offshore swells are still running 6–11 ft, so smaller crafts should play it safe and stick to estuaries or bays. The cold front moving in later today might push some fish into nearshore pockets, especially as the system brings colder air and high pressure overnight. According to the Ocean Prediction Center, look for calmer seas into Monday before the next round of low pressure heads in[5][8].

**Fish Activity & Recent Catches**
It’s coho season’s tail-end, but there’s still action. TheGuidesForecast.com notes a solid surge of coho after last week’s rains, and hatcheries clocked nearly 1,200 new returns, bringing totals up fast. Most bank and boat anglers reported decent hookups in the Sandy and Nestucca systems—just keep an eye on clarity, as snowmelt has dropped visibility in some spots. Chinook are also showing up, with some bright fish in the lower rivers, though the biggest runs have already shot upriver. Estuary anglers on the North Fork Nehalem pulled in 200 coho on Wednesday, and overall, Oregon’s midcoast rivers like the Siletz and Alsea are still open for wild coho retention through November.

Off the docks and party boats in coastal NorCal, folks bagged limits: the California Dawn II came through with 250 Dungeness crab and 250 rockfish for 25 anglers on November 8, and the Reel Addiction boats landed a few lingcod along with plenty of rockfish. Lingcod are popping steadily—when you can get out in between rough ocean stretches, they’re a solid bet for inshore jiggers.

**Best Lures and Bait**
Top-performing lures for November include tried-and-true patterns like *Spin-N-Glo*, *Flatfish*, and *Rooster Tail* for salmon species, especially in the river mouths and tidal stretches. For rockfish and lingcod, locals stick to big soft plastics in brown or motor oil, drop-shot setups with curlytail grubs, and jigs tipped with Berkley PowerBait swimbaits or squid imitations. Crabbers are having luck with Danielson Crab Trap Bait Pins loaded up with fish carcasses. If you’re targeting coho or chinook, smaller plugs and wobblers in chartreuse or metallic blue get those reaction bites when fish move through the tide.

Live bait is limited with colder water, but cut herring, anchovy, and sand shrimp are still the go-to for tracking down late salmon and big bottom fish. Sand shrimp can work in combo rigs with a Spin-N-Glo for steelhead if the rivers clear up a touch more.

**Hot Spots**
Here’s where the bite’s been best:

- Mouth of the Sandy River: Hatchery hole still producing coho and some late chinook.
- Tillamook Bay: Late-season crabbing and fair rockfish, best on calmer days.
- Nestucca River and Pacific City beaches: Coho still running, plus a solid lingcod and rockfish bite on the reefs when the surf allows.
- Nehalem Bay: Always a mid-fall staple, now with fresh coho in the system after last week’s rains.

For shellfish, always call the Shellfish Safety Hotline or check the ODA website before heading out to harvest.

Artificial Lure here with your November 8th, 2025, Pacific Ocean Oregon fishing report. Sunrise came at 7:04 am and we’re looking at sunset around 4:53 pm, so that’s your window for getting after it. A chilly marine layer hung off the coast this morning, with light winds and clouds holding steady, but overall it’s calm seas—perfect for getting on the water, as confirmed by the National Weather Service marine forecast and what I saw putting in at Pacific City this morning.

Today’s tidal swing is ideal for skinny-water action on the salt. In Pacific City, high tide peaked at 12:33 pm by 9.22 feet and drops out to a long, negative -1.51 ft low at 8:02 pm according to TidesChart. Nestucca Bay’s high topped out just a hair later, while the outgoing tide in the afternoon sets up excellent opportunities both in the surf and estuary edges. Work those outgoing flows around creek mouths and jetties for actively feeding fish.

Offshore, Dungeness crab and rockfish are lining coolers at a steady clip. Nor Cal Fish Reports relays impressive numbers—boats out of nearby ports seeing easy limits of both, with the occasional lingcod thrown in the mix. Locals are picking up healthy Dungeness in the 2–2.5 lb. range with chicken backs or fish carcasses in pots. For rockfish, the classic combo of shrimp flies tipped with squid and swimbaits in root beer or motor oil have been top producers. Lingcod are smashing white and blue paddle tails worked tight to rocky outcrops.

Surf anglers and jetty regulars are still finding late-run coho and a few bright chinook, especially on the high incoming this week. The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife just extended wild coho opportunities in the Siletz, Yaquina, and Alsea—which has the fish moving—and ocean coho that make a detour up Nestucca sometimes take hardware. The best bet: 3/4-ounce spoons in chrome or orange, or chartreuse plugs for cast-and-retrieve. Early in the morning or on a flooding tide, you can hook up with a surprise chinook. Meanwhile, surfperch action is picking back up, with sand shrimp and Berkeley Gulp! camo sandworms taking plenty of slabs, especially just north of the Cape Kiwanda parking lot.

Most recent party boat trips offshore are still reporting plenty of black rockfish, canaries, and decent shots at lingcod. Some boats working from Depoe Bay south are even seeing Pacific halibut in the mix, especially those bouncing big white jigs off the bottom in 300 feet. It’s a transition month—expect more crabbing and bottom fishing action as salmon winds down in the salt, but don’t count out a late bright or two pushing up the estuaries on the tides this week.

If you’re itching for a hot spot, my picks today are:
- **Nestucca Bay South Jetty**: Early outgoing for coho or chinook with hardware, and the rocks for greenling and lingcod.
- **Cape Kiwanda Surf Zone**: Target surfperch just before the low at dusk, with Gulp! or sand shrimp doing the work.

Best lures: For salt, white curly tail jigs for bottomfish, chartreuse or red/white spinners or spoons for salmonids, and root beer or blue swimbaits for those aggressive lingcod. For crabbing, chicken or fish scrap in a weighted pot gets it done.

Reminder for everyone: Mussel harvesting has reopened coastwide as of yesterday, so if you’re looking to fill the cooler, now’s your chance according to Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife.

There’s still plenty of action if you pick your tides and mind the wind. Thanks for tuning in—make sure to subscribe for more local fishing intelligence. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

Artificial Lure here with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for Friday, November 7, 2025.

Sunrise hit at 7:03am, with sunset to follow at 4:54pm. Today’s tides for Pacific City and Nestucca Bay include a high tide just before 2am at about 6.9 feet, a low at 7:03am at 2.6 feet, the next high at 12:43pm peaking at 9.3 feet, and finally a low at 8:12pm with a minus tide of -1.7 feet. These strong midday highs and negative evening lows set up classic windows for both surf and jetty action—timing your efforts around the slack and turn of the tides will give you an edge.

Weatherwise, we’re looking at a classic November pattern. Recent rain has improved river and nearshore conditions, but ocean swells are still keeping surf a bit stirred. Northwest winds are expected in the 15–20 knot range with gusts possible up to 25, and seas at 4 to 7 feet—so small craft advisories are in effect. Shorebound anglers will find less wind in the morning, and inshore bays should offer fishable windows later in the day.

Fish activity is picking up thanks to the fresh flush of rainwater. Down at the mouths, salmon anglers are reporting some Chinook and late coho caught between Charleston and Empire Boat Ramp, with fish moving into the Coos and lower Millicoma rivers—bite is best a couple hours around slack tide. Remember, regulations have changed this year: you can keep up to three salmon per day in the Coos Basin, but check wild Chinook bag limits carefully. Surfperch are strong: look for striped surfperch around the jetties and red-tail surfperch off beaches like Horsefall.

Rockfish and lingcod are producing steady numbers. This year’s marine bag is three fish plus two lingcod. Canary rockfish and cabezon have sub-bag limits—remind yourself of the details before you fill the cooler. Reports show that sand shrimp fished near the bottom around structure and jetties is a top producer for both species right now. Big rubber swimbaits in brown or motor oil, and classic metal jigs, have also been accounting for limits.

For bass and trout on the freshwater side, Agate and Emigrant Lakes are still giving up bass, crappie, and yellow perch, though things slow down as temperatures drop. Trout stocking resumes in February, but holdover rainbows are catchable with PowerBait or worms fished just off the bottom, especially after the rain.

Best lures and baits for the salt? For jetty and rock anglers, 3- to 5-inch curly-tail grubs in white or chartreuse, scented with a little shrimp oil, have been hot. Metal jigs and swimbaits produce lingcod and bigger rockfish. Surfcasters targeting red-tail surfperch score with Berkley Gulp! sandworms, sand shrimp, or clam necks rigged on small hooks and cast just beyond the breakers. Salmon anglers drifting the bay mouths are finding success with spinners in silver/chartreuse or anchovy-wrapped plugs.

If you’re wondering where to fish, here are a couple local hot spots:
- **Nestucca Bay Jetty:** Both inside and outside the bar, this is prime for rockfish, lingcod, and surfperch, especially as the tide starts to go out just after noon.
- **Coos Bay South Jetty:** Reliable for salmon staging just before the low tide; also good for cabezon and black rockfish.

Take care with the swells—November surf can be unpredictable. And remember, recent efforts from the National Marine Fisheries Service are targeting gear modification in the sablefish pot fishery to help prevent whale entanglements, so keep an eye out for new rules if you're setting pots.

Good morning, anglers, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for November 6, 2025.

We’ve kicked off the day with some wild coastal conditions. A high surf advisory remains in effect until 7 p.m., with waves reaching up to 25–30 feet according to BeachConnection.net. There’s also minor tidal flooding predicted along Highway 101, especially near river mouths and bays, so take extra caution getting to any launch point. Dense clouds and wind are shifting waves, but skies should open up intermittently as the day moves on. Temperatures will hover in the upper 50s, with the wind chill making it feel a bit sharper.

Sunrise came at 7:03 a.m. and we’ll see sunset at 4:53 p.m., so plan your fishing windows accordingly. Tides today around Pacific City are running high at 12:53 a.m. with a solid 7-foot spike, dipping low mid-morning, then surging again toward late afternoon (Surfline’s tide calendar shows strong tidal movement).

Fish are active, but it’s a sea change moment for the season. The nearshore bite is still producing solid catches. According to party boat fish counts and dock reports yesterday, anglers are finding success with rockfish, lingcod, and some surprise late-season cabezon. Deeper water folks are working the reefs for decent numbers of black rockfish, copper rockfish, and the occasional yellowtail. Lingcod have been especially aggressive, taking jigs and large soft plastics off the deeper ledges near Haystack Rock and the Three Arches Rocks area.

Crabbing has been so-so, with lots of soft-shells mixed in, but a few keepers are being pulled on slack tide with chicken and fish frames.

Don’t sleep on the salmon story this fall. Migration has hit historic highs on the upper Klamath basin, as reported by the LA Times, with salmon returning to restored tributaries after dam removals. While ocean salmon seasons are mostly closed off Oregon, these runs are energizing river ecosystems, and folks nearby on the Columbia River have found excellent coho and steelhead fishing during tide changes and mild surf, as the latest Columbia River Fishing Report describes. If you’re anywhere near estuaries and can legally target steelhead, morning and early evening swings with spinners and soft beads have triggered bites near the mouth.

For surf anglers, the big story is the perch bite. Even with pounding surf, surf perch are hanging tight to the troughs; Gulp sandworms or natural sand shrimp on a Carolina rig work best. Try the northern edge of Pacific City and Bob Straub State Park for deeper troughs and less traffic.

Hot spots today:
- South jetty at Netarts Bay: sheltered from surf, solid for rockfish and crab.
- Nearshore reefs off Pacific City: ideal for lingcod and limits of black rockfish, especially at first light and just before sunset.

Best lures and bait right now:
- Deep jigs (2–4 oz, rootbeer and chartreuse) and swimbaits for lingcod.
- Gulp sandworms, bloodworms, and sand shrimp for surf perch.
- Live bait is tough to source right now due to choppy water; frozen anchovy or squid are effective alternatives for bottom fish.
- Downsizing tackle—lighter line and smaller hooks—can fool pressured rockfish, echoing advice from Wired2Fish.
- Adjust retrieves to the tidal window: slow and low on ebb, quicker pops on incoming tide.

Fish amounts and types have held steady despite tough surf—boats yesterday reported limits of rockfish and a handful of lingcod per head. Crabbing is hit-or-miss, with many shorts, but tenacious folks are still making it happen over eelgrass beds.

Whatever your quarry, work early or late—midday conditions are rough. Watch for sneaker waves on the open beaches and stick to protected structure when in doubt.

Artificial Lure here with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for Wednesday, November 5th, 2025.

Big news up front: **King tides are rolling in with swells up to 30 feet and a high wind warning along the coast**. The National Weather Service and local sheriffs are urging caution—beach access and jetty fishing are dangerous the next few days. Safety first: stay off exposed rocks and keep an eye on those sneaker waves. These king tides are peaking daily between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., causing minor flooding in bays and some coastal spots, with great potential for high surf and beach erosion, especially near Clatsop, Tillamook, and south to Coos Bay, as covered by KCBY News and the Tillamook County Pioneer.

**Weather-wise**, we’re looking at windy, cloudy conditions with surface gusts making for choppy water. **Sunrise** was at 7:06 a.m., **sunset** will hit at 4:53 p.m. Temperatures hover in the low 50s but feel a good deal colder with the wind off the Pacific.

Tide levels in Newport and the surrounding coast are pushing high marks—all thanks to the king tides. For Newport today, you’ve got a morning high tide around 10:26 a.m. at nearly 10 feet, and a low just after 5 p.m. If you’re fishing estuaries or upriver, expect strong flows and some murky water from both the tide surge and runoff.

**Fishing activity:** Despite the rough surf, reports from local charters and recent trips suggest **rockfish and crab are still reliably biting when boats can get out between weather windows**. Offshore, when it’s safe, boats have been getting limits of black rockfish and a decent number of lingcod, though effort has dropped due to the storms. **Dungeness crab** pots have been pulling well near the mouths and just inside the bays. Surf perch are layin’ low this week, given the surge, but can be worth a shot once things relax.

For those braving sheltered bay waters or river mouths, **white sturgeon remains a viable catch-and-release option**, especially at high tide push in places like the lower Columbia and Tillamook Bay, per Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. River anglers are finding late coho slowing but some bright fish still being caught on plug-cut herring and natural sand shrimp. Floating bait rigs are producing the occasional sea-run cutthroat in less turbid stretches, as recommended by Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife.

**Hot spots:**
- **Yaquina Bay Dock to the South Jetty:** When the swells allow, boats and hardy bank anglers continue pulling in rockfish and crab near the channel edge.
- **Tillamook Bay Garibaldi Pier:** A go-to for sturgeon and crab, especially when the ocean surf is too much.
- **Columbia River, Astoria-Megler Bridge area:** Those looking for catch-and-release sturgeon have done well on squid strips and smelt, but savor the fight and mind your license.

**Lure and bait choices:**
- For sheltered inlet and bay rockfish: **3-inch swimbaits in motor oil, chartreuse, or black sparkle work well, especially paired with a jighead**. Anglers mixing custom soft plastics—like from local molds—report good results with gold fleck in murky water.
- For salmon and steelhead: **Plug-cut herring or sand shrimp** drifted or trolled behind a flasher.
- For surf (when it calms): **Classic Berkley Gulp! Sandworm on a Carolina rig** for surf perch.
- For sturgeon: **Fresh smelt, squid, or sand shrimp** are traditional, but nightcrawlers drifted slowly have tempted some nice catches.

Crabbing is best right now with **raw chicken or fish carcasses in your pots**; just get them out on the rising tide.

As the **Farmers' Almanac** notes, this evening conditions may improve—a “Good Evening” ahead for bite, but only if conditions settle and you can find safe, sheltered water.

Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure’s Pacific Coast report! If you’re heading out, play it safe, dress in layers, and keep a sharp eye on those waves. Don’t miss future updates—subscribe for latest reports and tips.

This is Artificial Lure checking in with your November 4th, 2025, Pacific Ocean Oregon coast fishing report. If you’re up bright and early, get ready to dodge some classic fall Oregon weather! The sunrise cracked the horizon around 6:39AM this morning, and sunset is expected at 5:07PM. Right now, we’re smack in the middle of an atmospheric river event—steady rain, hefty winds, and temps are hovering in the low 50s. The National Weather Service and local outlets alike are warning anglers about possible strong gusts and some minor flooding, with this wet pattern likely to hang around all week.

Tidal swings are dramatic today. According to NOAA Tides & Currents, you’ve got a high at 9:27AM—pushing nearly 9 feet—then a minus tide at 4:31PM, ideal for clamming or getting into the rocky holes for bottom fish. Remember, with these fast-moving tides and heavy runoff, surf and river mouths may churn up fast, so use extra caution on jetties and sand spits.

Let’s talk bite: Recent NorCal and Oregon boat reports have been loaded with Dungeness crab and rockfish hauls. Boats working from Crescent City to Astoria continue to limit out on Dungeness crab, averaging a crab per pot and raking in hundreds of rockfish per trip. Lingcod counts are decent but not epic—most boats reporting a handful per trip, with larger fish coming off the deeper reef edges. Emeryville and Berkeley boats logged full limits of Dungeness crab and between 150–280 rockfish per trip this week. Coastal setups north and south have reported nearly identical numbers, so expect solid action on deep reef structure, especially during that morning slack after today’s big high tide.

This is also the tail end of the fall Chinook and coho salmon runs. Rain has jumpstarted fresh fish to push into coastal rivers like the Nehalem, Tillamook, and Nestucca Bays. Larger tides have those estuaries holding bright salmon, with a mix of steelhead starting to show up as well. ODFW and local guides are reporting a handful of surprise sockeye—likely unmarked kokanee flushed out of inland reservoirs over the last couple of years—turning up in the Willamette system, averaging 18–24 inches.

As for lures and bait, it’s hard to beat a 4- to 6-ounce diamond jig or large curly-tail swimbait bounced near the bottom for rockfish and lingcod. Glow-in-the-dark, root beer, and white are standards. Cold and stormy conditions have those fish hugging structure, so tip your jig with a strip of herring or squid for an edge. If you’re crabbin’, chicken backs and fish carcasses remain the most productive bait in pots. For salmon in the bays, plug-cut herring or anchovy, trolled behind a flasher, is money right now—and don’t forget to adjust your depth during tidal swings.

November on the Oregon coast means bass are slowing down, but Wired2Fish recommends you keep a squarebill crankbait, jerkbait, and a 3/8-ounce buzzbait in your arsenal—especially for jetty black rockfish or the few hearty smallmouth still on the move in tidewater.

Today’s top hot spots:
- The south jetty and offshore reefs at Garibaldi: limits of rockfish and decent shot at a surprise ling. Stay mobile, stay safe.
- Tillamook Bay entrance and the Ghost Hole: fresh Chinook pushing in with each tidal surge. Troll plug-cut baits and get ready for a freight train.
- Bandon and Winchester Bays: Dungeness crab hauls are great and bottom fish are biting on the first reef lines once that morning high tide backs off.

Artificial Lure here, bringing you the November 3rd, 2025 fishing report for the Pacific Ocean off Oregon. Today kicked off cool and crisp with sunrise right at 7:03 AM and sunset expected at 5:00 PM. Morning temps hovered around 48°F on the coast and the barometer held steady—classic early November steelhead weather.

The tide rolled in soft at just over 1 foot low around 4:09 AM in Pacific City, climbing towards a late morning high near 6 feet right before noon, based on Surfline’s charts. That big midday push should've helped mix things up and drive bait in along the breakers and jetty lines. By late afternoon, expect another moderate ebb before the outgoing pulls water—and action—back out by dusk.

On the offshore front, NOAA’s marine forecast called for northwest winds at 10-20 knots with seas backing down from 8-11 feet in the morning to about 7-10 feet by tonight. Choppy but fishable nearshore, with occasional longer sets—standard for autumn. A sou'westerly pattern is pushing, but it’s nothing regulars haven’t fished around before.

Fish activity is solid for those targeting the fall bounty. This past weekend, Norcal Fish Reports logged boats up and down from Crescent City snaring full limits of Dungeness crab on Saturday’s opener—280 crab per boat was routine for the charters working inside and around the bar. Rockfish are mixed in well too, with many boats in the 200-250 range per charter, plus a handful of lingcod to spice up the counts.

Closer to home, Pistol River and the central coast rivers are in good shape for late-run Chinook and coho salmon, with steelhead and cutthroat holding on the fringes according to CoastView. Salmon have been stacking at the river mouths waiting for another good rain to push inland. Anglers on the SCPI and Alsea have been hitting bright fish at first and last light, mostly pulling spinners (think #5 Blue Fox or Mepps in chartreuse or pink) or anchoring with plug-cut herring wrapped in scent. Soft plastics and sandshrimp drifted on the incoming tide are getting bites from those walking the surf near beach outflows.

Surfcasters are still connecting with nice redtail surfperch using 2-inch Gulp sandworms in camo and motor oil, or sandshrimp tipped on a hi-lo rig. Rockpiles around Tillamook Head and the tips of the jetties continue to spit out black rockfish and the odd greenling, especially at the change of the tide. For bottomfish, lead-head jigs with curlytails in white or rootbeer, or 3-oz metal spoons that imitate candlefish, are the go-to. Proprietary crab traps baited with fish carcasses or chicken have been filled to the brim—make sure you’re minding your depth and soak times.

Top spots today: the Nehalem Bay jetty is producing crab and coho early, and the area abeam the Yaquina South Jetty is a strong bet for mixed bottomfish. If you’re looking to escape the crowds, swing by the stretch near Pistol River State Scenic Viewpoint for a shot at coastal cutthroat and migratory salmon in solitude.

In summary:
- Salmon: Best on first and last light. Plug-cut herring, spinners (#5).
- Rockfish: Hitting rootbeer swimbaits and metal jigs off jetties.
- Crab: Full limits in the first pots; use oily fish for best pulls.
- Surfperch: Gulp sandworms & sandshrimp, shallow holes near river outlets.
- Best bets: Nehalem Bay jetty, Yaquina South Jetty, Pistol River mouth.

Artificial Lure here with your Sunday, November 2nd, 2025, fishing report for the mighty Pacific, up and down the Oregon Coast.

Early November has brought classic coast weather—chilly, damp mornings and a break from the real heavy rain we saw last week. This morning we started with cloudy skies and a stiff breeze out of the south. Forecasts show lighter winds by midday, but bring your rain gear just in case—it’s been one of those socked-in weeks, but those showers can bring the bite on. Sunrise today was at 7:13AM and sunset will be at 4:47PM, so get your lines wet early if you want to hit those prime hours.

Tide-wise, at Pacific City and Nestucca Bay we had a low at 3:26AM around 1.1 feet, a high swinging in at 9:07AM peaking at over seven feet, with another ebbing out late afternoon[Surfline/Pacific City]. That gives a solid incoming tide through mid-morning, which is always a sweet window for salmon staging and rockfish pushing close.

Salmon anglers working the lower Nestucca, Trask, and Alsea have been picking up some late-season Chinook, though most are now up in the rivers staging or already showing those signs of color. Table quality is hit or miss this late, but the Wilson and Kilchis systems are still producing a few chrome-bright kings for folks putting the time in. Coho are mostly spent, but the occasional dime-bright fish is getting wrestled to hand for catch and release[The Guide’s Forecast].

Nearshore and off the beach, ocean opportunity for halibut and Chinook has closed as of October 31st, but you can still fill a limit with black rockfish and lingcod—just remember, the daily bag limit is now three for rockfish. Lingcod are hitting swimbaits and larger curly tails bounced along the rocky reefs offshore from Garibaldi and Depoe Bay. If you’re braving the surf, sand shrimp and clam necks on a basic hi-lo rig have been the ticket for redtail surfperch.

With mussel harvesting now back on from Cascade Head south, gatherers are back at it, but always double-check the Shellfish Safety Hotline before you head out because biotoxin levels can change overnight[Oregon Dept. of Agriculture].

Hot baits and tactics—troll the last of your hatchery Chinook with plug-cut herring or spinner rigs in tidewater, and for steelhead, drift beads, soft worms, or yarn balls under a float are all solid bets in rising river conditions. Offshore bottom bouncers are still doing damage with white jigs tipped with squid for lingcod and larger plastics for those stubborn cabezon.

For you crabbers, ocean crabbing’s still closed after October 15th, so don’t bring the pots, but bay crabbing in Tillamook or Netarts can reward you with some hard-shelled Dungeness—try chicken or fish carcasses for best soak.

A couple of hot spots today:
- The mouth of the Trask River for those last strong Chinook, especially at that morning high tide.
- The reefs off Pacific City for stable rockfish and a shot at a quality ling just before the next storm blows in.

That’s the round-up from Pacific waters. Bundle up, mind your tides, and target that window from sunrise to about noon for best results. As always, thanks for tuning in and make sure you subscribe for the freshest tides, bites, and coastal insight.
