If you’re targeting rockfish between North Bend and Yachats, your best bets are the Coos Bay jetties (especially the South Jetty) and Winchester Bay—they’re the most consistent producers with the best structure and access.

If you’re casting from a jetty in Newport or dropping jigs over offshore reefs, the formula stays the same: fish tight to structure, use bold baits, and stay locked in.

Summer in Florence, Oregon pulls anglers in like the tide running hard. The mornings start with fog rolling over the Siuslaw River, boats easing out toward the jetties, and by mid-day the docks are alive with stories, bait buckets, and the occasional bragging rights fish.

Your waders aren’t just another piece of equipment… they’re the line between comfort and misery. The best brands don’t just keep you dry—they move with you, breathe when you’re hiking in, and hold up when you’re bushwhacking through brush to find that untouched run.
