Oregon Coast Fishing Report: Steady Bottomfish, Salmon at Chetco River
Published 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Oregon coast fishing report for Sunday, October 5th.
**Weather and Conditions**
High pressure is building across our waters today, bringing northeast winds of 5-10 knots shifting north this afternoon at 10-15 knots. Expect seas around 5-6 feet with some mixed northwest swells. A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect from Cape Falcon to Florence through this evening.
**Tides**
We're looking at decent tidal movement today. Coos Bay shows a morning low around 6 AM, followed by high tide at 12:30 PM, then an evening low at 6:23 PM. These tide changes should trigger good fish activity, especially during the transitions.
**Recent Fishing Action**
The Chetco River mouth has been producing salmon before this week's rain hit. Bottomfish action has been steady despite the more restrictive bag limits on black rockfish and canary rockfish due to recent stock assessments. Ling cod limits are being reported by several charter operations.
**Lures and Bait**
For nearshore bottomfish, try heavy jigs in white or chartreuse, especially around rocky structure. Lead head jigs with plastic tails work well for rockfish. For salmon, stick with herring, sardines, or spinners in silver and blue combinations.
**Hot Spots**
The Newport area near Hatfield Marine Science Center has been consistent for bottomfish. South at Brookings, the port area and nearby reefs are producing both salmon and rockfish when conditions allow.
Remember, ODFW is hosting public meetings October 6-8 about next year's seasons, so get your input heard.
