 Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your salty dog guide for Oregon's Pacific coast angling. It's Friday mornin', January 23, 2026, and we're lookin' at a typical winter bite out here on the Oregon Pacific—cold fronts pushin' through makin' it tough, per BassForecast's 10-day outlook for the Pacific Northwest. Bite's rated TOUGH in winter pattern, with fish schooled deep on dropoffs, ledges, and steep banks.

Weather's brisk: highs in the low 40s, gusty winds from the southwest per Ocean Weather Service briefs, and waves buildin'—stay cautious on jetties. Sunrise 'round 7:45 AM PST, sunset by 5:15 PM. Tides at Newport's Yaquina River show low at 8:26 AM (2.95 ft), high 2:08 PM; similar at Coos Bay fallin' early, per Tide-Forecast and NOAA. Fish the incoming around slack for best action—ODFW reports rockfish near jetties on jigs with twister tails, surfperch in the surf.

Recent catches? ODFW's Jan 22 rec report notes winter steelhead slow but present on North Coast like Nehalem and Nestucca—hatchery clips only, wild C&R. Coos Basin bottomfish fair one day, good the next; perch schools in estuaries. Cole Rivers Hatchery tallies summer steelhead at 2,111 season total. Amounts are modest—dozens reported, not limits—but quality: 25-inch trout risin' wary.

Go-to lures: Suspendin' jerkbaits, spoons, drop shots, Ned rigs for deep suspenders, per BassForecast winter tips. Buzzbaits like Strike King's 3/16oz if wind calms. Bait? Worms on bottom jigs for perch, PowerBait near dams, or minnow patterns stripped low-light. ODFW pushes single barbless hooks, keep 'em wet.

Hot spots: Yaquina Bay jetties for rockfish—move if needed. Neck-downs off Depoe Bay for steelhead migrants. Bundle up, fish smart.
