  • 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 7, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the tides. For Coos Bay, which is a popular spot for both shore and boat-based fishing, today's tide times are as follows: high tide at 8:22 AM with a height of 7.65 feet, low tide at 3:55 PM with a height of 0.09 feet, and another high tide at 10:57 PM with a height of 5.37 feet. These tidal changes can significantly impact fish activity, so it's crucial to plan your fishing trip around them[2].

    Weather-wise, it's looking relatively calm with clear skies, which is ideal for getting out on the water. Sunrise is at 7:25 AM, and sunset is at 5:37 PM, giving you a good window to catch both morning and evening bites.

    Recently, the fishing in the marine zone has been quite promising. At ports like Depoe Bay, Newport, and Charleston, anglers have been reporting good catches of rockfish and lingcod. For example, at Depoe Bay, anglers averaged about 2.5 rockfish and 1.5 lingcod per angler last week. Similar trends were seen at Newport and Charleston, with rockfish and lingcod being the main catches[1].

    The daily bag limits are worth noting: for general marine species, you can keep up to 4 fish from January 1 through June 30, and up to 5 fish from July 1 through December 31. There are also specific limits for certain species like canary rockfish (1-fish sub-bag limit) and lingcod (2-fish bag limit with a 22-inch minimum size limit)[1].

    For bottomfish, particularly around the jetties in the lower Coos Bay estuary, a jig fished with a twister tail trailer is a good option. This setup tends to work well near slack tides when the fish are more active. If you're targeting lingcod, using larger lures or bait like squid or octopus can increase your chances of landing one[3].

    If you're looking for some hot spots, Depoe Bay and Charleston have been producing some great results lately. The offshore longleader fishery is also worth considering, as it allows anglers to catch more fish and distribute their effort away from nearshore species. This method requires using longleader gear outside the 40-fathom regulatory line, targeting midwater rockfish species[1].

    In summary, today looks like a great day to get out on the water. With calm weather, favorable tides, and recent success in catching rockfish and lingcod, you've got a good chance of bringing home some nice catches. Just remember to check the local regulations and be mindful of the bag limits to ensure sustainable fishing practices.

    Happy fishing, and tight lines
