# Artificial Lure's Pacific Oregon Fishing Report – Thursday, November 27th
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here bringing you today's fishing conditions along the Oregon coast. Let's dive right in.
**Tides and Timing**
We're looking at decent tidal movement this morning. Over at Pacific City, high tide hit around 6:09 AM at 6.4 feet, with a low tide at 11:46 AM sitting at 3.6 feet. Nestucca Bay entrance is showing similar action with a high of 6.19 feet early this morning. Remember, fish like salmon, surfperch, and herring tend to move in with the tide, so you'll have better luck fishing closer to slack tide transitions.
**What's Biting**
The marine zone reports have been interesting this week. Bottomfish fishing has been tough with poor weather keeping most boats docked, but when anglers did get out, they landed roughly 2 fish per angler averaging black and blue rockfish with scattered lingcod. Depoe Bay, Newport, and Charleston all saw modest catches of mainly black rockfish. Brookings anglers who braved the conditions actually found near-limit bottomfish, so persistence pays off.
**Your Best Bets**
For the holiday weekend, the Nestucca, Trask, and Wilson Rivers are your top choices for fall Chinook through November 30th. Fair warning though—wild fall Chinook bag limits are reduced this season, so check those regs before heading out. The ocean salmon season is currently closed, but you've got free fishing days today and tomorrow with no license required.
**Tackle and Bait**
For bottomfish, bring your standard rockfish spreads. Lingcod respond well to larger offerings. If you're hitting the rivers for Chinook, fresh bait and spoons will work best this time of year.
**Hot Spots**
I'd recommend starting at the Nestucca River entrance or heading to Depoe Bay if conditions allow—recent reports show consistent black rockfish action there.
