Fishing the Oregon Coast: Tides, Weather, and Hot Spots for January 24, 2025
Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
If you're planning to hit the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coast today, January 24, 2025, here's what you need to know. First, let's look at the tides. While the exact times for today aren't specified, we can infer from recent patterns. Typically, high tides around Depoe Bay occur in the early morning and late afternoon. For example, on January 3, high tides were at 3:25 AM and 3:53 PM, with low tides at 9:43 AM and 10:11 PM. Expect similar timing today.
Weather conditions have been moderating after a challenging week, making it more favorable for fishing. As of the latest reports, ocean conditions are improving, which should make for better fishing.
Sunrise today is around 7:53 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:43 PM, giving you about 8 hours and 50 minutes of daylight.
Fish activity has been promising. Yesterday, anglers at Newport reported good catches with around 4 fish per angler, and lingcod landings were close to 1 fish per angler. At Depoe Bay, fishing was fair with about 2 fish per angler, and lingcod catches averaged 1.5 fish per angler.
For rockfish and lingcod, fishing near slack tides, especially around the jetties in the lower Coos Bay estuary, tends to be more productive. Use jigs and baited hooks with squid or shrimp for these species. If you're targeting sturgeon, nightcrawlers or anchovies work well. For salmon, although the season is closed, if you're looking for other options, try using spinners or spoons.
Hot spots include the jetties in the lower Coos Bay estuary and areas around Tillamook Bay. These locations often see good fish activity, especially during the slack tides.
Remember, the King Tides are just past, having occurred from January 11-13, so the waters might still be a bit turbulent, but overall, it's a good day to be out on the water. Stay safe, and good luck on the water.
