This is Artificial Lure with your Pacific Ocean Oregon fishing report for April 30, 2025.<br /><br />We started the morning with light drizzle on the coast but by midday, clouds lifted and we enjoyed classic spring conditions—highs in the low 50s, a steady marine layer, and a gentle westerly breeze. Sunrise was at 6:01 AM and sunset will hit around 8:18 PM, giving you plenty of daylight for a long session. Tides today see a low at 5:35 AM, high at 12:09 PM, and another low late afternoon around 5:55 PM. That midmorning high tide really got things moving, especially in the nearshore rocks and jetties.<br /><br />Bottomfish action has been about as hot as it gets. Rockfish have been biting like fleas on a dog—limits were easy for most boats out of Depoe Bay and Newport this morning. Lingcod are on the chew, especially with a little chopped herring or white swimbait bounced close to the bottom. Black rockfish, coppers, and a good number of sea bass are all in the mix. The best action has been over rocky reefs in 60 to 100 feet of water. Hot spots include the reefs off Yaquina Head and the classic Depoe Bay rock piles[5].<br /><br />Halibut season is right around the corner, but folks are getting a jump with a few caught deep, mostly off Pacific City and Garibaldi. You’ll want to try large herring rigs or glow squid jigs fished near the bottom when tides slack.<br /><br />Salmon is still just around the corner—coho retention doesn’t open until June 7, but you can keep one Chinook over 24 inches as part of your two-fish limit until July 15. Look for the Chinooks to stage just offshore as they wait for the big push in summer[5]. Best baits here are trolled herring or chartreuse hoochies behind a flasher.<br /><br />Crabbing remains fair in the bays with most keepers coming in from deeper channels and pots left to soak a few hours. Use chicken backs or fish scraps for the best results.<br /><br />For lures, you can’t beat a white or rootbeer swimbait for lingcod right now, and shrimp flies or curly tail jigs are pulling easy limits of rockfish. For bait, fresh herring is top choice for both bottomfish and salmon, and don’t overlook sand shrimp or squid strips.<br /><br />For hot spots, Yaquina Head reefs and the area right outside Depoe Bay are producing limits. Bonus tip—the jetty at South Beach in Newport gave up some nice cabezon and greenling on shrimp-tipped jigs this morning.<br /><br />That’s the word from the water. Tight lines and see you out there[5][3][1]!

Pacific Ocean Oregon Fishing Report for April 23, 2025<br /><br />This is Artificial Lure with your latest on-the-water update for the Oregon coast and surrounding Pacific. These last few days have treated anglers to mild spring conditions, some solid catches, and good access to the water.<br /><br />Weather and Tides:<br />Today we’re seeing mostly clear skies with comfortable highs reaching around 56 degrees. Offshore winds are light for now, though it’s always smart to check the latest marine forecast before launching. Sunrise was at 6:42 AM and sunset will be at 7:44 PM. The tides in Newport are as follows: high tide at 6:57 AM with 9 feet, low tide at 12:47 PM dipping to minus 1.2 feet, then another high at 7:35 PM with 7.4 feet. Those swinging tides are prime times for some hot bite windows, especially for bottomfish and surfperch[5].<br /><br />Fish Activity and Recent Catches:<br />Rockfish are the star of the show right now. Anglers in Depoe Bay and Newport are reporting near limits of black, deacon, yellowtail, and copper rockfish. Kelp greenling and a few blue rockfish have also been mixed in. Lingcod has slowed a bit compared to last month, but a handful of nice fish are still coming in when the tide is moving. Offshore, expect about three rockfish per angler, with folks near Brookings reporting similar results. Halibut season is still closed, so most bottomfish action is focused on reefs and rocky areas[5][4].<br /><br />Chinook salmon season remains open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain until May 15, though the catch rates have been spotty, likely due to slow ocean conditions this past week. Newport recorded the highest Chinook catch rate along the coast, with about half a Chinook per angler for those putting in the time. Remember, minimum size for Chinook is 24 inches and you’re limited to two salmon per day, with no coho retention right now[2][3]. Surfperch have been active on sandy stretches, and there have also been promising reports from the herring run earlier this month, though most herring have now moved on[1][2].<br /><br />Best Lures and Bait:<br />For rockfish and lingcod, swimbaits, large curly-tail grubs, and metal jigs in white or chartreuse are always solid choices. Tip your jigs with herring or squid strips for extra action. Salmon anglers should stick with anchovy or herring behind a flasher, or go traditional with a hoochie-and-flasher setup. For surfperch, sand shrimp and Gulp! sandworms fished on a basic surf rig have been the most productive.<br /><br />Hot Spots:<br />Depoe Bay and Newport head boats are reporting the most consistent rockfish action, especially in 60 to 120 feet of water. The reefs near Boiler Bay are well worth hitting for bottom dwellers. For salmon, stick to waters off Newport and between Cape Foulweather and Seal Rock for your best chance at a spring Chinook. For shore-based anglers, Beverly Beach and South Beach are producing surfperch on the afternoon incoming tide[5][4].<br /><br />That’s the scene for today. Now’s a great time to get out before the spring crowds hit. Good luck and tight lines from Artificial Lure.

This is Artificial Lure with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for April 21, 2025. The spring bite is on and the weather along the coast has been a treat lately, with clear skies and highs around 56 degrees. Today’s sunrise was at 6:42 AM and sunset will be at 7:44 PM. For tides in Newport, you had a high tide at 6:57 AM at 9 feet, a low tide at 12:47 PM dropping to -1.2 feet, and the next high tide is slated for 7:35 PM at 7.4 feet. Those big tidal swings should keep fish active during changeover periods, especially for those targeting structure-loving rockfish and surfperch.<br /><br />Rockfish are the stars lately, with Depoe Bay boats reporting full limits of black, deacon, and yellowtail varieties. Newport has also been seeing good catches, including plenty of black, deacon, and copper rockfish, along with a handful of kelp greenling. Lingcod have been on the slower side, but still worth targeting on jigs near reefs and rocky points. Offshore around Brookings, expect about three rockfish per angler, mostly the usual suspects with some quality fish mixed in. Pacific halibut season is currently closed, so all eyes are on these outstanding bottomfish opportunities.<br /><br />Salmon season is open for Chinook from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain and the best bite of late has been out of Newport, where salmon anglers are averaging just over a Chinook for every two rods. The limit is two salmon per day, but coho retention is closed until summer. Remember the size minimums: 24 inches for Chinook and 20 inches for steelhead. Salmon are being picked up trolling bait herring or anchovies behind chartreuse flashers, with most reported strikes in 70 to 120 feet of water.<br /><br />If you’re fishing from shore, now is prime time to target surfperch at high tide using sand shrimp or Gulp sandworms, especially around South Beach and Agate Beach. For bottomfish on boats, go with curly-tail grubs in motor oil or white, small jigs, and shrimp flies. The water clarity is prime, so natural colors are producing, but don’t be afraid to switch it up with a bit of chartreuse if the bite slows.<br /><br />Today’s hot spots are the reefs just west of Depoe Bay for rockfish and lingcod, and the area out front of Newport for spring Chinook salmon. On the sandy stretches, South Beach is your best bet for surfperch on the incoming tide.<br /><br />Spring is here and the fish are biting. Stay safe, mind the regulations, and tight lines until next time.
