あらすじ・解説
As of November 30, 2024, the fishing scene along the Oregon coast is quite challenging due to the prevailing weather conditions. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect today:
### Weather and Tides
The weather is rough, with strong winds and significant wave activity, making offshore fishing difficult. Tides for today are as follows: high tide at 7:47 AM and low tide at 1:47 PM. The changing tides can affect fish activity, especially in estuaries and bays.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 7:28 AM, and sunset will be at 4:28 PM, giving you a decent window for fishing despite the weather.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday, despite the challenging conditions, some anglers managed to catch a few fish. The Buoy 10 area, which is usually productive, saw some action but mostly with smaller fish. Coho salmon were the primary catch, with a few Chinook salmon being released as per the regulations[2].
### Types and Amounts of Fish
In the Buoy 10 area, anglers caught mostly coho salmon, with some reports of Chinook salmon that had to be released. The ocean recreational salmon fishing season is technically closed, but some fish are still present in the estuaries and bays[4].
### Best Lures and Bait
For coho salmon, using spinners, spoons, or flies that mimic baitfish can be effective. In the estuaries, a jig head with a rubber swim bait or a simple spinner rig can work well. For those targeting bottomfish, a jig head with a rubber swim bait or squid is a good choice[4].
### Hot Spots
- **Buoy 10 Area**: This area is known for its productivity, especially on high tides. It's a good spot for coho and Chinook salmon, although the latter must be released currently.
- **Tillamook Bay**: While the salmon fishing here is slow as most fish have moved into the rivers, there are still some fish coming through the bay. The Wilson River, which feeds into Tillamook Bay, is another good spot to try[3].
### Free Fishing Days
Remember, today and yesterday are Oregon's free fishing days, so you don't need a license to fish, crab, or clam anywhere in Oregon. This is a great opportunity to introduce someone new to fishing or to enjoy the sport without the licensing hassle[1][3][4].
Stay safe, and be mindful of the weather conditions. Good luck out there
