February 15, 2025 Oregon Fishing Report - Coho, Chinook Salmon Biting in Buoy 10 and Astoria

  • Résumé

  • Hey there, fellow anglers It's Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for the Pacific Ocean and its adjacent waters around Oregon, specifically for February 15, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the tides. According to the tide calendar, today we have a high tide at 2:18 AM with a height of 7.3 feet, followed by a low tide at 8:28 AM with 1.9 feet, and then another high tide at 2:01 PM with 7.0 feet. The low tide later in the day is at 8:36 PM with 0.8 feet[2].

    The weather is looking decent, with calm ocean conditions, which is ideal for getting out and catching some fish. Sunrise today is at around 7:00 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:30 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to hit our favorite spots.

    Recently, the fishing in the Buoy 10 area and the ocean west of Astoria has been quite active. Anglers have been having a great time catching coho and chinook salmon. However, it's worth noting that the coho quota for offshore catches has been nearly met, with over 29,000 coho caught out of the 39,900 allowed for this year. This might lead to an early closure for ocean fishing, pushing more anglers inside the jetties to Buoy 10[1].

    For those targeting coho salmon, especially closer to the ocean, herring and anchovies are your best bets for bait. Further up the river, prawns and salmon eggs are highly effective due to their high salt content, which coho crave when they're away from the ocean. In-line spinners are also a great option and often overlooked but very effective for coho[3].

    If you're after chinook salmon, herring is the way to go, especially from Astoria to Portland. Salmon roe is also highly effective, particularly in the upper parts of the rivers and tributaries. The 360 flasher 3.5 spinner combo is a lethal setup for chinook any time of the year[3].

    Given the current conditions, here are a couple of hot spots to consider:

    1. **Buoy 10 Area**: This area has been productive on high tides, with both coho and chinook in the mix. The action tends to pick up around the high slack farther downriver, close to Buoy 10[1].

    2. **Ocean West of Astoria**: Although the coho quota is nearly met, this area has seen excellent fishing for coho and chinook. If the ocean remains open, it's a great spot to catch both species[1].

    In summary, today looks like a great day to get out and fish, especially with the calm ocean conditions and favorable tides. Make sure to use the right bait and lures, and don't hesitate to try out those hot spots. Tight lines, everyone
