About this listen
Howdy folks, Artificial Lure here with your Wednesday morning fishing report for the Oregon coast.
Let's dive into what's happening out there today. According to tide data from the Netarts area, we're looking at a high tide at 12 noon sitting around 5.8 feet, with a low tide coming in at 5:41 AM at negative 0.2 feet. Over in Pacific City, we've got a nice high tide at 1:16 AM at 7.3 feet. The tide's currently rising in Brookings Chetco Cove, so if you're heading out to those southern spots, you've got good water movement working in your favor.
Now here's what's really important—whale entanglements have been a growing concern along our Oregon coast since 2014, particularly with the humpback population rebounding. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is actively working on conservation measures for our Dungeness crab fishery, so keep an eye on any new regulations.
Speaking of Dungeness crab, that's been the real prize lately for our commercial fleet working out of Newport and other ports. If you're targeting saltwater species, your best bets are going to be with artificial lures—soft plastics with jig heads have been performing exceptionally well in February conditions. Strike King's KVD Jerkbaits and their specialized crappie rigs are solid choices. For inshore work, light tackle fishing and bottom fishing techniques are your bread and butter right now.
Pacific City and the Netarts Bay area are hot spots worth your time—excellent structure and good bait concentration this time of year. The Brookings area down south is also producing if you're willing to make the drive.
Thanks for tuning in, folks. Make sure you subscribe for more reports. This has been a quiet please production. For more, check out quietplease.ai.
