  • Résumé

  • Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the fishing scene in and around the Pacific Ocean off Oregon for today, February 9, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the tides. According to the tide charts, today we're looking at a high tide of 9.3 feet at 9:13 AM and a low tide of -0.8 feet at 4:02 PM. These tidal shifts can significantly impact fish activity, so it's crucial to plan your fishing trip accordingly[4].

    Weather-wise, it's a bit chilly but relatively calm, making it a good day to get out on the water. Sunrise was at 7:14 AM, and sunset will be around 5:14 PM, giving us a decent window for some quality fishing time.

    Now, let's dive into the fish activity. This time of year, we're not yet in the peak salmon season, but there are still some great opportunities for other species. Recently, the rockfish and lingcod fishing have been excellent. Anglers have been reporting good catches of rockfish, with averages of about 2-3 fish per angler, and lingcod have been biting well too, with about 1 fish per angler[3].

    For those targeting rockfish and lingcod, the best spots have been around Depoe Bay, Newport, and Charleston. These areas have provided good conditions and decent fishing. If you're heading out to these spots, make sure to use the right gear; longleader gear is recommended for the offshore longleader fishery to catch more fish and distribute effort away from nearshore species.

    In terms of lures and bait, for rockfish, you can't go wrong with jigs and squid or shrimp imitations. Lingcod are often caught using larger jigs or bait such as herring or anchovies. If you're looking to try something different, consider using some of the newer soft-plastic lures that mimic baitfish.

    For shore and estuary fishing, herring are starting to become active as they prepare to spawn. While the peak spawning events usually occur between Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day, it's worth keeping an eye on the bays and estuaries for early signs of herring activity[3].

    If you're looking for some hot spots, Depoe Bay and Newport have been performing well for rockfish and lingcod. For shore-based anglers, Yaquina Bay is a good spot to check for herring and other species that might be moving into the estuaries.

    In summary, today looks like a great day to get out and catch some rockfish and lingcod off the Oregon coast. Make sure to check the tides, use the right gear, and head to the right spots. Tight lines, everyone
