  • Summary

  • As of January 2, 2025, the fishing scene on the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coast is shaping up to be an interesting day. Here’s what you need to know:

    ### Tidal Report
    Tide tables for the North Coast of Oregon, specifically around Tillamook Bay, indicate that today will have a high tide at around 7:34 AM with a height of 7.8 feet, and a low tide at 1:57 PM with a height of -1.0 feet. This significant tidal swing can affect fish behavior and movement[2].

    ### Weather
    While specific weather details for today are not provided, it's generally important to check current weather conditions as wind and pressure can significantly impact tides and fish activity. For the North Coast, be prepared for typical winter conditions which might include strong winds and varying pressure systems.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is around 7:53 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:43 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trip, especially if you're targeting species that are more active during these periods.

    ### Fish Activity
    Given the tidal and weather conditions, fish activity is likely to be influenced by the strong tidal currents. Species like salmon, although not in peak season, might still be active in certain areas. However, the main focus for today would be on species like Dungeness crab, halibut, and rockfish.

    ### Catch Reports
    Yesterday's catch reports were modest, with some anglers reporting decent hauls of Dungeness crab, especially in areas where the commercial season has recently opened or is about to open. For fish, there were reports of halibut and rockfish catches, particularly around the Astoria area.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For halibut and rockfish, using jigs with squid or octopus lures can be very effective. For Dungeness crab, baiting traps with squid, anchovies, or even chicken parts is recommended. If you're after salmon, although the season is not in full swing, using hoochies or spinners with a herring or anchovy bait can be productive.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Astoria**: Known for its rich marine life, Astoria is a great spot for catching halibut, rockfish, and even some early-season salmon.
    - **Newport**: This area is also promising for halibut and rockfish, and with the right conditions, you might catch some Dungeness crab as well.

    Remember to check the latest fishing regulations, especially for the Dungeness crab season, which has specific restrictions and opening dates[1][4].
