Fishing Oregon's Coast: Tides, Weather, and Hot Spots for Rockfish and Lingcod

  • Résumé

  • Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing in Oregon. Today, February 5th, 2025, we're diving into the latest fishing report for the Pacific Ocean waters off Oregon's coast.

    ### Tidal Report and Weather
    First off, let's check the tides. According to the 2025 Tide Tables for the North Coast of Oregon, around Tillamook Bay, we're looking at a low tide of -1.2 feet at 7:33 PM and a high tide of 8.5 feet at 12:47 PM. These tidal changes can significantly impact fish activity, so it's crucial to plan your fishing trip accordingly[2].

    As for the weather, conditions have been relatively calm, allowing for good passage out of the harbors. However, ocean conditions can change quickly, so always check the latest forecast before heading out.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Today's sunrise is at 7:26 AM, and sunset will be at 5:10 PM. These times are perfect for those early morning and late afternoon fishing trips when fish are typically more active.

    ### Fish Activity and Recent Catches
    Recently, fishing has been a bit slow in some areas but promising in others. At Depoe Bay, fishing was slow with about 1 rockfish per angler, but lingcod catches were good with an average of 1 fish per angler. Newport saw a few good days last week with near limits for most anglers, and lingcod landings were also good. Brookings had good ocean conditions, resulting in an average of 2.5 fish per angler, though lingcod catches were slow[1].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For marine species like rockfish, lingcod, and flatfish, using the right lures and bait is key. For rockfish, a 1-fish sub-bag limit applies, and using longleader gear outside the 40-fathom line can increase your chances. Jigs and soft plastic lures that mimic the appearance and movement of natural prey work well for these species[4].

    For lingcod, with a 2-fish bag limit and a 22-inch minimum size limit, using larger jigs or lures that imitate baitfish can be very effective. Cabezon, with a 1-fish sub-bag limit and a 16-inch minimum size limit starting July 1st, can also be caught using similar tactics.

    ### Hot Spots
    If you're looking for some hot spots, Depoe Bay and Newport are worth considering. Despite the slow fishing at Depoe Bay recently, the area is known for its consistent catches of rockfish and lingcod. Newport had a good week last week, and the conditions are usually favorable for a productive fishing trip.

    Brookings is another spot that's been performing well, with good ocean conditions and decent catches of various marine species.

    ### Conclusion
    In summary, today's fishing in the Pacific Ocean off Oregon's coast looks promising, especially if you're targeting rockfish and lingcod. Make sure to check the tides, plan your trip around the sunrise and sunset, and use the right lures and bait to increase your chances of a successful catch. Happy fishing, and see you out there
