Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things fishing along the Oregon coast. We're talkin' Pacific Ocean waters from Astoria down to Winchester Bay on this fine March 29th mornin'. Sunrise hit around 7:00 AM, sunset's comin' at 7:40 PM, givin' us a solid 12+ hours of daylight to chase bites.

Tides are lookin' prime today per NOAA Tides & Currents—Nestucca Bay shows low at 8:09 AM around 5.5 ft, high slack mid-mornin' at 3.7 ft by early afternoon, then droppin' to 6:06 PM low at 6.1 ft. Fish the incomin' tide hard from low to flood for best action. Weather's typical spring coastal—cool temps in the 50s, light winds offshore, maybe some mist burnin' off by noon.

Fish activity's heatin' up with springers on the move. Fresh bright Chinook salmon are pushin' in strong, hittin' bait like they mean it in deep slots, says Fish Sniffer reports. Rockfish are schoolin' aggressive off Winchester Bay—2-4 pounders averagin' firm white meat, per Southern Oregon Anglers Charter. Limits on Dungeness crab and solid halibut plus stripers comin' from Bay Area docks yesterday via Sportfishing Report. Bottom dwellers lovin' squid, shrimp drops, or jigs.

Best lures? Plug-cut herring or Kwikfish divers for those spring Chinook. For rockfish, bounce screw-lock jigs with Sexy Shad soft plastics or Z Man GrubZ—imitates shrimp perfect. Live bait like herring or sand shrimp rules if you're driftin'.

Hit these hot spots: Nestucca Bay for tidal rips and salmon slots, or Winchester Bay reefs for rockfish and crab pots. Launch early, stay safe out there.
