Description
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your Oregon coast fishing guru, comin' at ya with today's report from the wild Pacific waters. It's a crisp winter mornin', high pressure easin' off accordin' to Ocean Weather Service, with light winds from the north and temps hoverin' in the low 40s—perfect for bundlin' up and hittin' the surf. Sunrise kicked off around 7:35 AM, sunset's at 6:25 PM per Tides4Fishing charts for Nestucca Bay.

Tides today at Oceanside per Tide-Forecast: low at 1:25 AM (3.71 ft), high at 7:40 AM (7.45 ft), then low around 5:17 PM (1.6 ft) and evenin' high at 10:51 PM (6.5 ft). Fish the incomin' tide mid-mornin' when bait schools tight—solunar activity's high at 70 today.

Action's heatin' up! Pacific Coast Fishing Report from Spreaker yesterday buzzed on steelhead hammerin' the rivers feedin' the Pacific, like the Chetco runnin' prime per Oregon Fish Reports with fair-to-good grabs. Lingcod are stackin' offshore, and surf perch plus rockfish are steady. Recent catches: steelhead in the 8-12 lb range on rivers, lingcod to 20 lbs from charters, and limits of Dungeness crab noted in NorCal reports bleedin' into our waters.

For lures, go Strike King Rage DB Craw soft plastics infused with coffee scent—they're killin' in cold water per Discount Tackle winter guide. Jig heads with Z-Man or Yamamoto swimbaits for lingcod, or Rapala plugs for fast winter retrieves. Live bait? Sand shrimp or herring chunks on the bottom for perch and crab; herring strips for steelhead drifts.

Hot spots: Nestucca Bay jetties for perch on the flood tide—easy access, hot bite. Offshore Depoe Bay for lingcod drop-shotting 100-200 ft. Chetco River mouth if you're steelhead huntin'.

Bundle up, check regs, and get after 'em safe.
