Dan,
Do a search on herring, there's been a ton of talk lately about both those subjects.

there seems always fish to catch in Yaquina Bay somewhere. Try working jetties now for rock cod,perch,kelp greenling, and maybe lings. Be careful, the best fishing is in drop offs near rocks. watch for waves and current. check other topics and search for herring setups. the last two weekends about anything worked.
