  • Résumé

  • As of November 14, 2024, the fishing scene in the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coast is quite dynamic, though certain seasons have come to a close.

    **Weather and Tides:**
    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 58°F and a low of 45°F. The winds will be moderate, blowing at about 10 mph from the northwest. Tides are crucial for fishing; today's high tide is at 9:47 AM and the low tide at 3:33 PM.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 4:43 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Ocean salmon fishing in most areas is now closed for the season. The last day for ocean salmon fishing in the area from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain was October 31, and the area from Humbug Mountain to the Oregon/California border has also closed[2].

    However, if you're looking for other species, bottomfishing remains a viable option. Recent reports indicate good catches of rockfish, including blue, black, and yellowtail rockfish, as well as lingcod. For example, at Depoe Bay, catches were good with an average of 4 fish per angler, including a mix of rockfish and lingcod[2].

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For bottomfishing, using squid or shrimp as bait can be very effective. Lures such as jigs and spoons also work well for rockfish and lingcod. If you're targeting lingcod specifically, try using larger jigs or lures that mimic their natural prey.

    **Hot Spots:**
    - **Depoe Bay:** Known for its consistent bottomfishing, Depoe Bay has been producing good catches of rockfish and lingcod.
    - **Newport:** This area has also seen decent catches of rockfish and lingcod, making it another good spot to try your luck.

    While the salmon season is closed, the bottomfishing opportunities make the Pacific Ocean off Oregon still worth a visit. Always check the latest regulation updates before heading out, as rules can change[2][5].
