    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.

    Early Summer Bite: Rockfish Limits & Lingcod on the Oregon Coast

    This is Artificial Lure with your coastal Oregon fishing report for the Pacific this morning. We’ve got a mild early-summer pattern along the north and central coast. Overnight marine layer inland, but on the water you’re looking at **high 40s to low 50s at daybreak**, climbing into the **low 60s** by afternoon if the sun punches through. Typical **NW wind building to 10–20 knots** by midday with a light wind chop. Swell is running fairly **small to moderate, around 3–6 feet**, but always check the latest bar and marine forecasts before you run outside. Sunrise is right around **5:30 a.m.**, with **sunset close to 9:00 p.m.** That gives you a big window, but the best bite has been on the **dawn flood** and again on the **evening push**. Tides are in a **moderate cycle** today, with a pre-dawn **low** turning to a **flood through the morning**, then an afternoon **ebb**. On the jetties and inside the bays, that first part of the flood has been the ticket for rockfish and lingcod; slack and early ebb have been decent for halibut and crabbing outside. Offshore, boats working the usual rock piles in **120–200 feet** are still finding good **black rockfish** with a mix of **canary and yellowtail**, plus some solid **lingcod**. Catch counts from local charters out of **Newport and Depoe Bay** the last few days have been near limits on rockfish with 1–3 lings per rod on better days. Halibut has been spotty but steady enough: one here, one there for boats that commit to the grind on the deep spots. Best setups offshore: - For rockfish: **2–4 oz lead jigging irons**, metal jigs in **chrome, green, and blue**, or shrimp flies tipped with a small strip of squid or herring. - For lingcod: **6–8 oz jig heads** with **white, root beer, or motor-oil swimbaits**, plus whole or plug-cut herring on a mooching rig. - For halibut: **spreader bars** with **whole herring or large anchovy**, 2–3 feet off the bottom, slow drift on the edges of the humps. Inshore and around the jetties, **greenling, cabezon, and smaller lings** are chewing on the softer tides. A **2–3 oz jig** with a curly-tail grub, or just a **sand shrimp or clam neck** on a dropper loop, will keep the rod bent. On calmer mornings, **surfperch** along the sandy beaches near river mouths have been reliable on **Gulp! sandworms**, **small pieces of clam**, or **sand shrimp** on a simple high–low rig. Salmon-wise, action has been **scratchy but improving** where seasons are open. Troll **cut-plug herring**, **anchovy**, or **3–3.5” spoons** in **green/glow and chrome** behind a flasher. Run 20–40 feet down early, then deeper once the sun gets high. Two hot spots to circle on your chart: - **Newport area – Yaquina Bay and North Reef**: The **North Jetty and nearby reefs** have produced consistent rockfish and lingcod in 60–120 feet on the morning flood. Inside the bay, folks are still seeing decent crabbing on the softer parts of the tide with chicken or fish carcasses in pots. - **Depoe Bay – nearshore reefs north and south of the harbor**: Small run out of the hole, then work the **kelp edges and rock piles** in 40–100 feet. Limits of blacks and some chunky lings are coming on metal jigs and swimbaits, especially when you hit that first two hours of the flood. If you’re bank-bound, don’t ignore the **jetties at Newport, Garibaldi, or Florence**. Bring extra gear; the rocks eat tackle. Focus on **current seams, eddies, and pockets** out of the strongest flow, and fish the first part of the flood or last part of the ebb for the safest, most productive conditions. That’s the word from the Pacific this morning. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.

    Early June Oregon Coast: Rockfish Limits and Surf Perch on the Flood Tide

    Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Pacific Coast Oregon fishing report. We’re sitting in a classic early‑June pattern. Along the north and central coast, skies are starting out mostly cloudy with that cool marine layer, burning off to partial sun by mid‑day. Highs along the beaches are running in the upper 50s to low 60s, with northwest wind 10–20 knots this afternoon and a light chop building to a moderate wind wave. Overnight lows stay in the high 40s to low 50s. According to the National Weather Service coastal forecast, a small northwest swell is rolling through, nothing extreme but enough to keep the bars a little lumpy on the outgoing. Tides today run a moderate morning high, dropping to a mid‑day low, then building to a stronger evening flood. That afternoon flood has been the sweet spot for both surf and jetty anglers, especially the last two hours of incoming. Sunrise is just after 5:30 a.m. with sunset a bit after 9 p.m., giving you a long window to pick your tide and wind combo. Fish activity has picked up nicely. Local reports out of Garibaldi and Newport charter fleets say bottom fishing has been steady: good numbers of black rockfish, a mix of blue rockfish, and the usual lingcod showing when the ocean lays down enough to get outside the jetties. Limits of rockfish have been common on calmer days, with most lings in the legal slot and a few larger fish coming off the deeper humps and edges. Surf perch fishing along open sandy beaches from Seaside down through Pacific City and south toward Yachats has been solid. Anglers working the deeper cuts and the edges of the sandbars on the incoming tide are seeing decent buckets of redtail surfperch, especially around low‑light periods and that flood tide push. On the salmon front, offshore reports have been spotty but improving. When boats can get out, some coho are showing on the offshore rips and temperature breaks, with a few chinook mixed in where seasons allow. It’s not full‑tilt yet, but there’s enough action that trollers are starting to pay close attention to birds, bait balls, and temp lines. Best producers for bottom fish have been medium to heavy jigging setups. Metal jigs in the 4–8 ounce range, in colors like chrome, blue, and glow, bounced just off the bottom have been deadly on both rockfish and lingcod. White or root‑beer swimbaits on leadheads, sweetened with a strip of herring or squid, continue to be a go‑to. For bait, fresh or frozen herring, anchovies, and squid strips are hard to beat; they stay on the hook and put out plenty of scent. Surf perch anglers are doing well with 2‑inch sandworms, Gulp! sandworms in camo or red, small sand shrimp if you can get them, and pieces of clam or mussel. A simple high‑low rig with 1–2 ounce pyramid or disc sinkers is getting it done. Light‑action surf rods and 10–15 pound line are plenty. For salmon trollers offshore, tried‑and‑true anchovies or herring behind short flashers are still the standard. Green‑and‑chrome or chartreuse patterns have been solid in that slightly off‑color water. A lot of locals are running 20–30 feet behind the release on downriggers, working the top 50 feet early and dropping a bit deeper as the sun climbs. Couple of local hot spots to put on your list: • The south jetty at the mouth of the Columbia and the jetties at Tillamook Bay have been producing a mixed bag of rockfish, greenling, and lingcod when swells and bar conditions cooperate. Fish the structure hard, stay mobile, and watch the waves. • The surf around Pacific City, especially near the river mouth and prominent sandbars, has kicked out good redtail surfperch action on the incoming tide. Work those deeper troughs and cuts; if you’re not getting bit in ten minutes, move. If you’re heading out, keep an eye on bar restrictions, wind forecasts, and always pack the safety gear. These coastal conditions can change fast, even on a “nice” day. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss the next report.

    Early Summer Oregon Coast: Rockfish, Halibut, and Surfperch Firing Up

    Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Pacific Ocean Oregon fishing report. We’re working a soft early-summer pattern along the central and north coast. Offshore, the ocean’s laying down nicely this morning with light northwest wind and a 3–4 foot mixed swell; afternoon brings the usual northwesterlies and a bit more chop, so plan your run early. The marine layer’s hanging just offshore with patchy low clouds, but inland it’s clearing to partly sunny and cool. Daytime highs along the beaches are topping out in the upper 50s to low 60s, and water temps are hovering in the low 50s. Sunrise hit the water around a quarter after five, with sunset lined up a bit after nine tonight, so you’ve got a long light window. That first couple hours after sunrise and the last two before dark will be your money tides for active feeders, especially in the surf and estuaries. Typical coastal tide cycle today is running a higher morning tide easing off to a mid‑day low, then building back to an evening high. On these swingy days, focus your effort on the last half of the incoming and the first push of the outgoing, when current starts to move bait and the bite turns on in the bays and nearshore reefs. Fish activity’s solid across the board: Nearshore rockfish and lingcod outside Depoe Bay and Newport have been steady, with boats working 60–120 feet pulling nice mixed bags of blacks, blues, and the odd canary, plus a handful of keeper lings per rod on good drifts. Charter skippers have been leaning hard on lead‑head jigs tipped with herring strips or squid, plus medium‑sized swimbaits in motor‑oil, root beer, and green/black. Halibut action off the central coast has been fair but improving, with a slow pick of quality fish rather than limits flying over the rail. Most have come on classic bait setups: whole or plug‑cut herring, large salmon bellies, or squid on spreader bars parked in 180–250 feet, especially around soft breaks and edges where sand meets rock. A bit of glow and some scent goes a long way in that deeper water. In the surf, redtail surfperch are making a good showing along open sandy beaches near Yachats, Waldport, and south of Cannon Beach. Anglers tossing 2‑inch Gulp sandworms in camo or blood red on a simple high‑low rig with a 2–3 ounce pyramid sinker have been putting fish in the bucket. Natural sand shrimp and live sand crabs are top‑tier if you can get them. Work the first and second troughs during the flood when waves are a little smaller. Salmon-wise, ocean seasons and exact openings shift by area, but when and where it’s open, trollers running small chrome or green splatter‑back spoons behind flashers, or anchovy/plug‑cut herring rigs, are picking up scattered Chinook. Depth has been highly variable – some fish up in the top 30 feet early, then dropping deeper with the sun. Cover water until you find bait on the sounder. A couple of hot spots to put on your list: • Off Newport, that nearshore reef line just north and south of the jetty continues to produce for rockfish and lingcod. Slide in tight on the structure on a slower drift and work swimbaits close to the bottom. • Around Depoe Bay, the hard bottom and ledges within a couple miles of the harbor mouth have been consistent. Short drifts over marked structure with jigs or baited rigs are producing some of the better lingcod of late. Color and lure tips: in the relatively clear early‑summer water, keep rockfish gear natural—anchovy, herring, or brown/green patterns—and downsize if the bite gets picky. For lings, big profiles in darker colors with just a hint of flash are doing the damage. In the surf, stick with camo or red sandworm imitations; if the water muddies up with afternoon wind chop, bump up to brighter oranges and pinks. That’s the bite along the Pacific side of Oregon from your pal Artificial Lure. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.

    Late Spring Mellow Pattern: Rockfish, Lings, and Perch on the Oregon Coast

    This is Artificial Lure with your Oregon Pacific fishing report. We’re sliding into a mellow late‑spring pattern on the north and central coast. Light morning winds, a bit more afternoon chop, and water temps hovering in the low 50s along most of the open shoreline. Marine forecasts from the National Weather Service call for relatively small swell and moderate northwest wind building later in the day, so the best window is morning into early afternoon for small boats and kayaks. Tides today on the central coast run a decent morning high, dropping to a mid‑day low, then filling again toward evening. Think: fish the *last half of the incoming* for jetty and bay species, and the *first of the outgoing* for surf perch in the breakers. Use the slower portions of the tide change around the jetties if you’re targeting lingcod and rockfish tight to structure. Sunrise on the Oregon coast is roughly mid‑5 a.m. hour with sunset just after 9 p.m., giving a long day of low, angled light at both ends. That first light to about 8 a.m. and the last hour before dark are still the prime bite windows for nearshore predators. Recent action: - Nearshore rockfish and lingcod have been steady out of Depoe Bay and Newport when the ocean lays down. Party boats have been reporting good mixed bags of black rockfish, canary, and a fair sprinkling of keeper lings. - Surf perch fishing has picked up on broader sandy beaches around Pacific City and south of Newport. Anglers working the deeper cuts with sand shrimp and Gulp sandworms have been bringing home respectable buckets. - In Tillamook and Yaquina bays, the spring Chinook grind continues. Catch rates aren’t hot, but a few nice chrome fish are being picked off on each softer tide series, mostly by the patient trollers. Best lures and bait: - For rockfish: 2–4 oz lead‑head jigs with 4–6 inch curly‑tail grubs in motor oil, root beer, or black. Small metal jigs in the 1–3 oz range jigged vertically over reef edges also produce. - For lingcod: larger swimbaits in green, blue, or white, pinned to 4–6 oz heads. Whole herring or large strip baits bounced near bottom are still the classics. - For surf perch: 1–2 oz pyramid sinker, size 4–2 hooks, baited with sand shrimp, clam necks, or Gulp sandworms in camo or bloodworm colors. - For bay Chinook: plug‑cut herring behind a 360 flasher, or K15–K16 style plugs in metallic green or chartreuse, trolled slow and close to the bottom contour. Fish activity has been best on the softer ends of the tide when current eases and bait can stage along edges. Rockfish have been pushing shallow on overcast mornings, sometimes right up against the rocks. When the sun gets high and the wind comes up, they’re dropping deeper, so bring enough weight to stay near bottom in 60–120 feet. A couple of local hot spots: - **South Jetty, Newport** – Good mix of black rockfish and the occasional lingcod, especially on the last of the incoming tide using 3–4 inch swimbaits and shrimp‑tipped jigs. Watch the swell and don’t push conditions. - **Haystack Rock reefs off Pacific City** – When the dory fleet can launch, the nearshore reefs continue to give up nice rockfish limits and solid lings. Drift the edges with heavier swimbaits and keep your presentations close to the rocks. If you’re bank‑bound, don’t overlook the evening surf perch bite along the beaches adjacent to those jetties; fish right where the waves dump into the deeper troughs and keep that bait just ticking bottom. That’s your Oregon Pacific coastal fishing rundown from Artificial Lure. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss the next report.
