Coastal Crusaders Reel in Rockfish Riches - Pacific Ocean Oregon Fishing Report 10/22
Published 6 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Pacific Ocean Oregon fishing report for Wednesday, October 22nd.
We've got decent conditions shaping up today along the Oregon coast. Sunrise hit at 7:39 AM with sunset coming at 6:20 PM, giving us just over 11 hours of daylight to work with. For you Newport area anglers, the tide forecast shows we had our high tide early this morning at 1:57 AM around 6.5 feet, with low tide rolling in around mid-morning. This incoming tide pattern through midday should get those fish moving nicely.
Weather-wise, we're dealing with south winds picking up from 5 to 10 knots, increasing to 10 to 15 knots as the day progresses. There's a Small Craft Advisory through Wednesday afternoon, so keep that in mind if you're heading offshore. Seas are building, so nearshore and bay fishing might be your better bet today.
The bite has been absolutely lights out lately. Recent reports from California Dawn Sportfishing and Bass Tub Sportfishing show stellar action at the Farallon Islands with rockfish absolutely crushing it. Up in the Bay Area, boats have been coming back loaded with limits - we're talking 150 to 170 rockfish per trip with solid lingcod mixed in, some pushing 14 pounds.
For rockfish, you'll want to drop swimbaits and plastics on jigheads or go with traditional rockfish rigs using cut squid or anchovies. The lingcod are hitting large swimbaits and live bait - those California Dawn anglers have been having success with 30 lingcod per trip. If you're targeting stripers in the bays, throwing plugs and swimbaits on the incoming tide is producing.
A couple hot spots to hit: Nestucca Bay and Tillamook Bay are both fishing well right now with good tidal movement. The bar conditions at Nestucca Bay entrance are manageable if you time it right with the tides. For those comfortable heading offshore, the nearshore reefs have been producing limits of rockfish when conditions allow.
The key today is working that tide change and staying safe with the building winds. Get out early before conditions deteriorate this afternoon.
