    Morning Bite Magic: Central Oregon Coast Report - Rockfish, Lings, and the Flood Tide Window

    This is Artificial Lure, checking in with your coastal report for the central and north Oregon Pacific. We’ve got a calm, workable ocean window this morning along most of the coast from Newport up through Tillamook Head. Light northwest wind early, building mid‑day, with a typical summer pattern: lighter seas and less chop in the morning, wind waves and lumpier conditions after lunch. Marine layers are hanging just offshore at first light, burning back to partial sun by late morning. Air temps are cool in the low 50s at dawn, pushing into the low 60s on the beaches by afternoon. Tides are running a decent morning flood. Along the central coast, it’s a lower low before sunrise, flooding through the mid‑morning, then a higher afternoon high with an evening ebb. That morning flood lining up with first light has been the sweet spot for both surf and nearshore rockfish. Sunrise is right around a quarter after five local time, sunset close to nine. The best bite has been in the first three hours after dawn and again in the last two hours before dark, especially anywhere you’ve got bait pushed in by that incoming tide. Offshore, the deep‑water fleet out of Newport and Depoe Bay has been putting good numbers of rockfish and lingcod in the box when the sea state allows. Party boats have been reporting easy limits of blacks and blues with a smattering of canaries and the odd vermilion. Ling action has slowed a bit with the brighter, longer days, but they’re still chewing around hard structure and steeper breaks when there’s some current. Nearshore, the kelp and reef edges are producing solid mixed‑bag rockfish for small‑boat anglers working within a few miles of the jaws. Bottom rigs tipped with cut herring or squid are steady producers. For artificials, 2–4 oz lead‑head jigs dressed with 4–6" curly‑tail grubs in white, chartreuse, or motor oil have been hot. Metal jigs in the 2–3 oz range yo‑yoed just off bottom are getting crushed by lings when the current’s moving. Salmon remains heavily regulated and very day‑to‑day, but when the ocean cooperates, a few chinook are being picked off offshore on small cut‑plug herring and anchovy behind flashers, trolled 30–80 feet down over 120–200 feet of water. If you’re targeting kings, keep your gear tight to the bait balls and watch the temp breaks. Surf anglers from Lincoln City up to Pacific City are finding fair numbers of surfperch on the incoming tide. The best bait has been gulp sandworms and bits of clam or shrimp on small hooks and 1–2 oz pyramid sinkers, cast just beyond the first trough. Light spinning gear, 10–12 lb mono, and a slow, steady retrieve has outfished dead‑sticking. As for hot spots: - **Haystack Rock / Cape Kiwanda area (Pacific City):** Good reports of rockfish and lingcod tight to the reef on swimbaits and shrimp‑fly rigs, plus perch along the adjacent beaches on the flooding tide. - **Stonewall Bank and the deeper reefs off Newport:** When the wind lays down enough to get there safely, anglers are seeing quality rockfish with a better grade of lingcod on larger jigs and whole herring dropped right into the structure. Color‑wise, natural baitfish patterns have been best in clearer water: sardine, anchovy, and green/white. When the wind kicks up the chop and the water muddies, switch to brighter chartreuse, glow, or even pink metal to stand out. Crabbers working the bays are still scraping together keepers, but the easy limits of winter and early spring are behind us. Fresh fish heads and turkey legs in pots soaked on the channel edges of Yaquina and Nestucca have been the ticket; longer soaks are paying off over quick drops. Boat safety note from the locals: the afternoon north wind has been coming up earlier than the forecast some days, so plan to be pointed back toward the barn by early afternoon if you’re in a smaller rig. Morning bar conditions can be deceptively mellow; still, check the latest bar report and wear those life jackets. That’s the word from the water.

    Early Summer North Coast: Rockfish, Perch, and Evening Tides

    Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your coastal Oregon fishing report for the Pacific this morning. We’ve got a typical early-summer pattern setting up along the north and central coast. Marine influence is strong: cool, cloudy mornings with patchy fog, light drizzle in spots, then partial clearing and a bit of sun breaking through in the afternoon. Highs along the beaches are hanging in the upper 50s to low 60s, with a chilly northwest breeze kicking up by midday. Overnight lows are in the upper 40s to low 50s. Ocean temps are running cool in the low 50s, so dress for spray and wind. Sunrise is right around a quarter past five, with sunset just before nine in the evening, so you’ve got a long fishing day to work with. The low light windows at first light and that last hour before dark are the prime feed times. Tides today are running on a moderate mixed cycle. Expect a decent morning high pushing bait in tight to the beaches and jetty mouths, then a dropping tide late morning into early afternoon, picking back up toward an evening high. That flooding evening tide has been best for jetty rockfish and lingcod, while the last of the outgoing has been good for surf perch. Out on the big blue, when the bar is cooperating, nearshore rockfish action has been solid. Boats working within a few miles of Garibaldi, Depoe Bay, and Newport have been putting good numbers of black rockfish and a few nice lingcod on deck. Limits of rockfish aren’t unusual when the wind lays down, with a handful of keeper lings mixed in. Best producers have been 2–4 oz leadhead jigs tipped with curly-tail grubs in motor oil, root beer, or white, along with metal jigs yo-yo’d near the bottom. A strip of squid or herring on the hook gives you that extra edge. Bottom bouncers running bait—whole or cut herring, anchovy, or sand shrimp—are still a staple for lings around the deeper reef edges and rocky pinnacles. Keep that rig just ticking bottom and be ready for a heavy thump. In the surf, redtail surfperch are the main story. Folks working the pockets and deeper troughs from Seaside down through Pacific City, Beverly Beach, and south toward Yachats have been seeing decent counts when the swell backs off. Sand shrimp, clam necks, and small bits of raw shrimp on size 4–6 hooks, fished on a standard surf rig with 2–3 oz of lead, are putting fish on the sand. For artificials, 1/2–1 oz casting jigs and Gulp sandworms in camo or red have been steady producers. Cast into the first and second guts, not way out beyond the breakers. Jetty fishing has picked up too. The north jetty at the Columbia River, the jetties at Garibaldi, Newport’s south jetty, and Coos Bay’s south jetty are all worth a look. Rockfish are hitting small swimbaits in green/black or white, along with shrimp and sand crabs fished close to the rocks. Lingcod are hanging a bit deeper; drop bigger swimbaits, metal jigs, or whole herring right into those holes and pockets. Bring plenty of tackle—these rocks love to steal gear. For hot spots, two to circle on your map: - The Depoe Bay–Newport stretch: strong nearshore rockfish and lingcod action when the wind and bar allow, with quick runs to the reef. - The beaches around Pacific City and down toward Lincoln City: good structure for surfperch with easy access and lots of fishy-looking cuts and rips. Best overall bet today: hit the surf at first light for perch, then slide to a jetty for the afternoon flood tide rockfish bite. If you’ve got a boat and the bar’s green, sneak offshore early before that northwest wind stacks up the chop. That’s the word from Artificial Lure.

    Early Summer Bite: Rockfish, Lingcod, and Evening Floods on the Oregon Coast

    This is Artificial Lure with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report. We’ve got a classic early–summer marine pattern up and down the north and central coast. Light morning winds, a decent afternoon northwest breeze, and a mixed swell sitting around 4 to 6 feet with a longer period set rolling through now and then. Skies are starting off mostly cloudy with that marine layer, burning off to partial sun by afternoon. Air temps are topping out in the low 60s, cooler right on the water. Along the north coast, NOAA’s marine forecast is calling for light west to northwest winds in the morning, building to 10–20 knots by midday, so small craft should plan to be off the open ocean before the afternoon bump really fills in. Tides today are in a nice fishy rhythm: a higher morning tide easing toward a midday low, then a solid evening flood. That evening push has been the moneymaker for both rockfish and surf anglers. Sunrise came early, just after 5:20 a.m. in the Newport–Lincoln City stretch, with sunset around 9:00 p.m., so you’ve got a long window to work the moving water on both ends. Offshore, charter captains out of Depoe Bay and Newport this past week have been reporting very good bottom fishing. Boats are routinely coming back with near limits of **black rockfish**, a mix of **canary and yellowtail rockfish**, and plenty of **lingcod** in the 24–30 inch class, with a few bigger ones each trip. Most of that action is in 80–140 feet of water on hard structure. Best producers have been 4–6 inch swimbaits in greens and browns, lead-head jigs dressed with curly-tail grubs, and simple shrimp flies tipped with a piece of squid or herring strip. Chinook salmon offshore has been spotty but improving when the wind lays down. Anglers trolling between 80 and 200 feet of water with 360 flashers and small herring or anchovy behind them have found scattered keepers mixed with shakers. UV hoochies and small spoons in green/white or “cop car” patterns are starting to shine when the sun gets higher. In the nearshore surf, anglers working beach cuts and near river mouths have been into **redtail surfperch** on the rising tide. The usual ticket is a high–low rig with 2–3 ounce pyramid sinkers and sand shrimp, clam necks, or Gulp sandworms. Cast just outside the breakers, not over them, and walk the beach until you find a school. A couple of hot spots to circle on your mental map: First, **Yaquina Head and the nearshore reefs off Newport**. When the swell is manageable, the rock piles just north and south of the headland have been giving up heavy bags of rockfish and a nice grade of lingcod. Work 3–6 ounce jigs right on the bottom and be ready—most bites have been right off the drop. Second, **Cape Foulweather to Boiler Bay out of Depoe Bay**. Those rougher pinnacles and ledges are textbook for bigger lings. Colored swimbaits in blue/black or root beer, sweetened with a strip of herring, have been out-fishing plain lead. Fish the edges of the structure, not right in the snags. Crabbing in the bays has been fair to good on the bigger tides. Newport’s Yaquina Bay and Garibaldi’s Tillamook Bay are both producing keeper Dungeness for folks soaking pots with salmon frames, turkey legs, or oily fish. The best sets are around the last of the incoming and first of the outgoing. Overall fish activity is classic early summer: best at first light and on the evening flood. Midday slows when the wind and chop build, but you can still pick at fish if you stay on structure and keep baits in the zone. That’s the scoop from Artificial Lure.

    Early Summer Oregon Coast: Rockfish Limits and Perch Bite Firing Up

    This is Artificial Lure with your Pacific Ocean Oregon fishing report. We’ve got a classic early-summer setup up and down the north and central coast. Offshore winds laid down overnight and marine forecasts from the National Weather Service call for relatively light northwest wind this morning, picking up and choppy by late afternoon. Morning seas are on the friendlier side, a decent window for smaller boats to sneak out before the afternoon blow. Tides along the north coast are running a moderate mixed cycle today, with a decent morning flood pushing in bait and a falling afternoon tide pulling fish off the beaches and out of the estuaries. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife tide tables show a solid mid‑morning high and an evening low that should fire up surf perch and jetty rockfish. Sunrise along the Oregon coast is right around 5:30 a.m., with sunset about 9:00 p.m., giving you a long, fishable day with prime low‑light bites at both ends. Fish activity has been good. Recent ODFW ocean rec reports and local charter logs out of Garibaldi, Depoe Bay, and Newport show limits or near‑limits of **rockfish** with a decent mix of **lingcod** in 80–150 feet. Charter captains are still scratching up **Chinook salmon** in pockets—nothing wide open, but steady action when you find cleaner, bait‑rich water. Surf casters are doing well on **redtail surfperch** off the sandy beaches, and the nearshore kelp edges are holding plenty of black rockfish. Best producers offshore have been **2–4 oz lead‑head jigs** and **metal flutter jigs** in blue, green, and root‑beer patterns, bounced near the bottom for lings and rockfish. Shrimp flies tipped with a small strip of squid or herring are still money on the party boats. For salmon, local skippers are running **anchovy or herring behind 11" flashers**, or trolling **hoochies and small spoons** in green‑glow and cop‑car colors 20–60 feet down over deeper water. Off the beach, the perch bite has favored **sand shrimp**, **clam necks**, and **Gulp! sandworms** in camo or motor oil, fished on simple hi‑lo rigs with a 2–3 oz pyramid sinker. Light‑colored sand crabs are also a top natural bait when you can dig them. On the jetties, 3–5 inch **swimbaits** in smelt or anchovy colors on ½–1 oz heads have been producing both rockfish and the occasional ling. A couple of hotspots to put on your list: - **South Jetty at the Columbia River (Hammond side):** Good mix of rockfish, greenling, and a chance at a jetty ling when the swell is manageable. The flooding morning tide pushes bait right along the rocks—cast swimbaits tight to the structure and work them slow. - **Beverly Beach to Otter Rock, just north of Newport:** The surf perch bite has been steady on the outgoing tide, with schools working the first and second troughs. Look for bird activity and nervous water; fan‑cast sandworms and sand shrimp until you find the school. Overall, plan to fish **early and late**, key your timing around the tide changes, and match your offerings to the local bait—anchovy and herring patterns offshore, sand crabs and worms in the surf.

    Oregon Coast Fishing: Rockfish Limits, Early Halibut, and Rising Salmon Action

    This is Artificial Lure checking in with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report. Offshore and nearshore waters from Astoria down through Newport and Coos Bay are starting the day under a cool marine layer, light west winds, and small to moderate swell. Coastal forecasts from the National Weather Service call for mostly cloudy skies early, lifting to some broken sun this afternoon, with highs along the beaches in the upper 50s to low 60s and afternoon winds 10–20 knots out of the northwest. Sunrise along the central coast is right around a quarter after five, with sunset just before nine in the evening, giving you a long window to work the tides. Tidal predictions from NOAA for the central coast show a decent morning incoming tide followed by an afternoon ebb; that morning flood is your best bet for halibut, rockfish, and surf species close to structure, while the late afternoon push around low slack can fire up the salmon bite offshore when the current eases. Ocean temps are holding in the low to mid‑50s. Recent Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife updates and local charter logs out of Newport, Depoe Bay, and Charleston report solid mixed‑bag bottom fish limits: plenty of black rockfish, a fair number of canary and a few vermilion, with lingcod in the 24–30 inch class coming over the rails on most trips. Offshore, early season halibut effort has produced scattered but quality fish, mostly in the 25–40 pound range on the deeper humps and edges. Chinook action has been spotty but improving when boats find cleaner blue water and stronger bait marks. Charter captains out of Newport and Garibaldi have been reporting small pods of salmon pushing baitballs 8–12 miles off, with the better scores coming on days with lighter wind and a softer swell. Closer to the sand, surf anglers are seeing decent numbers of redtail surfperch on the steeper beaches, especially where there’s a defined trough and a little foam line. For lures, think natural and subtle in the morning gray, brighter and louder as the sun gets up. Bottom fish are hammering 4–6 inch swimbaits in green‑and‑black, root beer, and motor oil on 2–6 ounce lead heads, as well as standard metal jigs in the 3–6 ounce range. Tip plastics with a small strip of squid if the bite slows. Lingcod are keying on larger profiles: big paddle‑tails, glow grubs, and diamond jigs yo‑yoed tight to the rocks. Salmon trollers are doing best running 11‑inch flashers with small hoochies, spinner rigs, or cut‑plug herring. Green, chartreuse, and UV patterns are the go‑tos, especially in that slightly off‑color water. If you’re running bait, a well‑spinning green‑label herring is still king. For halibut, large herring, squid, or salmon bellies on spreader bars, plus heavy glow jigs pounded right on the bottom, remain the most consistent producers. Surf anglers should pack 2‑inch sand shrimp or clam necks on hi‑low rigs with 2–4 ounce pyramid sinkers; if you prefer artificials, small Gulp! sandworms or sand fleas in camo or natural colors fished slow in the wash are putting perch on the sand. A couple of hotspots to circle today: Newport / Yaquina Bay area – The nearshore reefs north and south of the jetty have been spitting out quick rockfish limits and a solid showing of lings when the wind lays down. Work 60–120 feet, focusing on hard breaks, pinnacles, and any bait on the sounder. If the ocean cooperates, sliding a bit deeper off the fingers can give you a halibut shot on the same run. Depoe Bay reefs and points – Small harbor, big potential. The broken rock and ledges within a short run of the harbor continue to fish well, especially on that morning flood tide. Keep an eye on the wind; if it stays modest, this is one of the most efficient rockfish and lingcod programs going along this stretch. In the afternoons, check the adjacent beaches north and south of town for perch during that last couple hours of the incoming. As always, watch the marine forecast, bar conditions, and local advisories before you launch, and give the charters a call if you want the freshest intel—they live on this water.

    Pacific Coast Early Summer: Salmon Ramping Up, Bottomfish Steady, Bays Firing

    This is Artificial Lure checking in from the Oregon coast with your Pacific report. We’re sitting on a calm early summer pattern along the central and north coast, from Pacific City up through Tillamook Bay and the Columbia. Light morning northwest winds with patchy marine layer along the beaches, burning off to partly sunny skies and cool highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. Overnight lows hang in the 40s and low 50s. Surf is modest, with a west swell around 3–5 feet and longer-period sets pushing a little extra energy on the outer reefs. Sunrise comes early, with first light around the 5 a.m. hour, and you’ll have good workable daylight into the 9 p.m. hour. Tides are running a good morning flood with a decent mid‑day high and an afternoon ebb. That gives you classic windows: the last half of the incoming and the first of the outgoing have been the most productive, especially around jetty tips and rocky points where current pinches down. Salmon effort offshore is still ramping up. When boats get outside on the softer days, they’re picking up scattered hatchery coho and the occasional Chinook in 120–200 feet of water off Garibaldi and Pacific City. Most are working 25–60 feet down with chartreuse and white hoochies, small 3–3.5 inch spoons in green/glow, or classic herring behind a flasher. Short leaders and a bit of UV have been helping when the fog hangs in. Bottomfish action has been steady. Lingcod and rockfish are coming over the rails on nearshore reefs from Newport to Cannon Beach when the swell cooperates. Greenling and blacks are stacked tight to structure. Metal jigs in 2–4 ounces, swimbaits in motor oil, root beer, and blue/black, and standard shrimp flies tipped with a thin strip of squid or herring are doing damage. Keep those offerings close to the bottom but moving; dead‑sticking is costing people fish. Halibut anglers working the deeper grounds off the central coast are still finding a few quality fish on anchor and long drifts. Salmon bellies, large herring, and octopus‑tipped pipe jigs are the most consistent producers. You’ll want that softer tide phase and manageable drift speeds to stay in the zone. Inshore, bays and estuaries are waking up nicely. Tillamook, Nestucca, and the lower Columbia are giving up good numbers of surfperch, staghorn sculpin, and the odd flounder along sandy edges and channel breaks. Fresh sand shrimp, clam necks, and Gulp sandworms in camo or natural are the go‑to baits. Light spinning tackle, small pyramid sinkers, and a two‑hook surf rig will keep you busy on the beaches. Crabbing has been mixed but improving in the larger estuaries. Best results are coming on the deeper edges of the main channels on the softer tides. Chicken, fish carcasses, and oily baits are pulling in keepers, though you’ll still sort through a lot of shorts. A couple of hot spots to circle on the map: • The South Jetty at Tillamook Bay: Solid for rockfish and lingcod on the right tide, plus surfperch on the outer beaches. Work the ends during the last half of the flood with swimbaits and jigs, then slide inside for perch on small sandworms. • The reefs off Pacific City: When the swell drops, the dory fleet has been doing well on mixed rockfish and lings in 60–120 feet. Start your drifts up‑current of the hard bottom, drop metal jigs or swimbaits, and cover water until you mark stacks of fish. For most of these fisheries, you can’t go wrong tossing natural‑looking swimbaits, small spoons in green and blue patterns, and fishing good fresh bait: herring offshore, sand shrimp and clam in the bays, and sand crabs or Gulp for surfperch on the beaches. That’s the word from the water. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss the next report. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

    Coho and Bottomfish Bite Strong Off Newport and Garibaldi This Week

    This is Artificial Lure with your coastal Oregon fishing report for the Pacific. Light marine layer early along much of the coast, burning off to partly sunny skies by late morning. North–northwest winds are expected to build this afternoon, 10–20 knots with stronger gusts outside the headlands, and seas staying moderate and choppy. Coastal highs in the upper 50s to low 60s, cool and damp at first launch, so layer up. Sunrise hit the water early, about a quarter to five, with sunset coming just after nine this evening, giving you a long window to work the tides. We’re between big swings right now; morning ebb has been pulling hard out of the bays, then laying down nicely into a mid‑day flood. That softer incoming has been the sweet spot for both bay and nearshore action. Ocean salmon is the big story offshore when and where it’s open. Boats running out of Newport and Depoe Bay in the last few days have been finding decent numbers of hatchery coho, with a few chinook mixed in, 8–12 pounds on average, plus the odd teenager. Productive depths have been 80–140 feet over 200–250 feet of water, trolling 15–40 feet down. Best producers: chartreuse or Mexican flag hoochies behind 11‑inch flashers, and small chrome or green‑splatter spoons. Shorten leaders when the chop kicks up to keep that gear working tight. Bottomfish bite remains solid. Out of Garibaldi and Tillamook, boats have been boxing limits of black rockfish with a fair number of lingcod to 20 pounds. The bite has been strongest on the tail end of the ebb and first push of the flood, especially on structure that tops out 40–80 feet. Try 4–6 ounce leadheads tipped with swimbaits in root beer, motor oil, or blue‑pearl. If you’re soaking bait, fresh herring strips or sand shrimp have outfished frozen by a mile. Don’t forget to send down a larger dark‑green swimbait or whole herring for lingcod right on the rock. Closer to the beach and in the surf, redtail surfperch fishing has been good from Pacific City south through Florence. Anglers working the pockets and cuts near the top half of the incoming tide have reported solid numbers of hand‑size to slab‑class perch. Best baits have been sand shrimp, mole crabs, and small bits of clam on hi‑low rigs with 1–2 ounce pyramid sinkers. If you prefer artificials, 2‑inch motor‑oil grubs on small jig heads will get eaten when the water’s just a bit green and foamy. In the bays, crabbing has picked up with the warmer water. The lower Yaquina and Alsea have been turning out fair to good pots of keeper Dungeness, especially for folks running fresh fish heads and chicken. Set your gear along the edges of channels on the incoming for best results, and give those pots a good soak. A couple of local hot spots to circle on your chart: • Off Newport, the reef complexes just north of the Yaquina Head lighthouse have been reliable for rockfish and lingcod when the swell allows you to tuck in. Work the 50–80 foot contour with heavier swimbaits and keep an eye on your drift. • Off Garibaldi, the nearshore rock piles west of Pyramid Rock continue to give up mixed bags of rockfish and the occasional halibut on days when the current isn’t ripping. Slow‑troll large herring or bounce big jigs close to bottom. Overall fish activity has been best on the change of tides and the first hour of moving water. Mid‑day can slow if the sun pops and the wind stacks up the chop, so plan your long runs around those transition windows. This is Artificial Lure wishing you safe seas and tight lines.

    Oregon Coast Rockfish Bite Heating Up: Black and Blue Limits in Summer Conditions

    Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report. Offshore and along the north and central coast, we’re sitting under a cool, early‑summer pattern: mornings starting in the low 50s, afternoons topping out in the low to mid‑60s, light northwest wind building to 10–15 knots by late day, and that typical marine layer hanging in until mid‑morning. Most coastal forecasts from the National Weather Service are calling for afternoon wind chop and a small but persistent northwest swell around 4–6 feet, so plan your bar crossings early and be back inside before the afternoon blow. Sunrise is right around a quarter after five in the morning, with sunset just before nine in the evening, giving you a nice long window to work the tide changes on both ends of the day. Coastal tide tables for spots like Garibaldi, Newport, and Coos Bay show a decent morning high followed by a dropping tide mid‑day, then an evening flood. That makes first light through the first couple hours of outgoing, and then the evening push, your prime bite windows. Bottom fishing has been the star lately. Local charter skippers out of Depoe Bay and Newport have been reporting easy limits of **black rockfish** with a mix of **blue rockfish**, **lingcod**, and the occasional **cabezon** on nearshore reefs in 60–120 feet. Most boats are still seeing full rockfish limits in just a few drifts when the wind is manageable. Best producers have been standard two‑hook shrimp‑fly rigs sweetened with a small hunk of squid or sand shrimp, or 4–6 ounce lead‑head jigs tipped with curly‑tail grubs in motor oil, root beer, or white. For lingcod, larger 6–8 ounce jigs or swimbaits in brown, green, or glow patterns are getting hammered right on the bottom. Salmon remains slow and spotty offshore, with only scattered reports of **Chinook** showing on the 40–60‑fathom line. When they do pop up, they’re coming on flasher‑herring combos or UV hoochies trolled 25–60 feet down. Keep expectations modest unless you’ve got very fresh intel. Inshore, the jetties and bays are worth your time. Tillamook Bay, Yaquina, and Coos have all given up good mixed bags of rockfish, greenling, and the odd ling off the rocks, especially on the last of the incoming and first of the outgoing. A 3–4 inch swimbait on a 3/8–1 ounce jighead, or a strip of herring on a dropper rig, will take just about everything that swims those rocks. Remember to fish tight to structure and be ready to lose some gear. Crabbing has been fair to decent in the lower bays and estuaries. Chicken legs and fish carcasses in a pot soaked on the channel edges are the ticket. Expect more hard‑shell keepers the farther you get toward the bar. For bait, it’s hard to beat **fresh squid, sand shrimp, and herring** right now. For artificials, pack **4–6 inch swimbaits**, metal jigs, and shrimp flies in natural baitfish and darker rockfish colors. If the water’s a bit green or off‑color, glow bellies and chartreuse tails can make a real difference. A couple of hot spots to circle on the map: - **Depoe Bay reef complex**: Nearshore rock piles north and south of the harbor have been very consistent for rockfish and lingcod when the swell allows smaller boats outside. - **South Jetty at Newport (Yaquina Bay)**: Fish the ocean side on a flooding tide with swimbaits and bait rigs for a mixed bag of rockfish, greenling, and an occasional lingcod. Watch your footing and the swell. That’s the bite around the Pacific side of Oregon for now. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.
