A few sturgeon have been caught in the Coos River but overall fishing for sturgeon has been slow.

Fishing for rockfish in the lower Coos Bay estuary has been good. Fish near submerged rock piles for the best success and use sand shrimp or a jig and twister tail.

Harvest of bay clams will be a little slow this week due to the lack of negative tides but there are still a few opportunities to dig for bay clams on almost every low tide. Harvest of empire/gaper clams has been good at the North Spit and Clam Island. The best harvest areas are Empire/Charleston along Cape Arago Highway, and within Charleston, north and south of the Charleston Bridge. Butter, gaper, and cockle clams are abundant in these areas
