  • Résumé

  • Hey there, fellow anglers It's Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share the latest fishing report for the Pacific Ocean waters around Oregon, as of February 10, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the weather and tidal conditions. Today, you can expect calm ocean conditions, which is perfect for getting out on the water. According to the tide tables, around Tillamook Bay, the low tide is at 8:35 AM with a height of -0.3 feet, and the high tide is at 2:47 PM with a height of 8.5 feet[2].

    Sunrise today is at 7:17 AM, and sunset will be at 5:14 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to catch some fish.

    Recently, the fishing has been quite good, especially for rockfish and lingcod. At ports like Depoe Bay, Newport, and Charleston, anglers have been reporting decent catches. For example, at Depoe Bay, anglers averaged about 2.5 rockfish per person and 1.5 lingcod per person. At Newport, the average was about 2 rockfish and 1 lingcod per person, while at Charleston, anglers landed an average of 3 rockfish and close to 1 lingcod per person[1].

    For rockfish, the bag limit is 5 fish from July 1 through December 31, but since we're still in February, the current limit is 4 fish per day. There's also a sub-bag limit of 1 canary rockfish and 1 cabezon. Lingcod have a 2-fish bag limit with a minimum size of 22 inches[1].

    When it comes to the best lures and bait, for rockfish and lingcod, you can't go wrong with using jigs tipped with squid or shrimp. These baits mimic the natural prey of these fish and are highly effective. For those targeting lingcod specifically, a jig with a curly tail grub can be very enticing.

    If you're looking to try your hand at the offshore longleader fishery, this gear allows you to catch more fish and distribute your effort away from nearshore species. This fishery has a 10-fish bag limit, but you need to use longleader gear outside the 40-fathom regulatory line, and it's limited to 10 midwater rockfish species only[1].

    For hot spots, I recommend checking out Depoe Bay and Charleston. Both of these areas have been producing good results lately. If you're looking for a bit more variety, the waters around Newport are also worth a visit.

    In summary, with the calm ocean conditions, favorable tides, and recent success in these waters, today is a great day to get out and catch some fish. Just remember to check the local regulations and handle your catch with care.

    Happy fishing, and tight lines
