  • Summary

  • For December 12, 2024, if you're planning to head out to the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Oregon, here's what you can expect:

    ### Tidal Report
    Today, the tides along the Oregon coast are significant. For the Central Coast near Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, the high tide is at around 7:47 AM with a height of about 5.5 feet, and the low tide is at 1:35 PM with a height of about 0.5 feet. In the evening, the high tide returns at 7:30 PM with a height of approximately 5.0 feet[1][4].

    ### Weather
    The weather forecast indicates a mix of cloudy and partly sunny conditions with moderate winds. Temperatures will be in the mid-50s, which is typical for this time of year.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at about 7:34 AM, and sunset will be around 4:28 PM.

    ### Fish Activity
    While the primary halibut season has closed, other species are still active. Yesterday, anglers reported good catches of coho salmon, especially in the Buoy 10 area and offshore. However, the coho quota for the year is nearly filled, so fishing for coho might be restricted soon[3].

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Yesterday saw a strong showing of coho salmon, with many anglers reporting early limits. Chinook salmon catches were also reported, although the rules now require releasing all Chinook caught in the Buoy 10 area[3].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For coho salmon, using hoochies or spinners with a pink or purple squid is highly effective. For those targeting other species like rockfish or lingcod, which are still open to fishing, using live bait such as anchovies or herring can be very productive.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Buoy 10 Area**: This remains a hot spot for coho salmon, especially during high tides.
    - **Offshore near Cape Falcon**: This area has seen good catches of coho and some Chinook salmon.
    - **Central Coast nearshore**: Areas inside the 40-fathom line from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain can be good for rockfish and lingcod.

    Remember to check the latest fishing regulations and catch limits before you head out, as they can change frequently. Enjoy your fishing trip
