  • Résumé

  • Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing in Oregon. Today, February 8, 2025, we're diving into the fishing scene along the Pacific Ocean, particularly around the Central Coast.

    First off, let's talk about the tides. According to the tide charts, today we're looking at a low tide of 0'5" at 4:17 AM and another low of 1'3" at 3:48 PM. The high tides are at 10:01 AM with 5'4" and 9:58 PM with 7'11"[5].

    The weather is quite favorable for fishing, with calm ocean conditions reported in recent days. This makes it an ideal time to get out on the water. Sunrise today is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 5:13 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to catch some fish.

    Recently, the fishing has been good, especially for rockfish and lingcod. In ports like Depoe Bay, Newport, and Charleston, anglers have been reporting decent catches. For example, in Depoe Bay, the average catch has been about 2.5 rockfish per angler and 1.5 lingcod per angler. In Newport, it's been around 2 rockfish and 1 lingcod per angler, while in Charleston, anglers have been landing an average of 3 rockfish and close to 1 lingcod per angler[1].

    For those targeting rockfish and lingcod, the best approach is to use longleader gear, especially if you're fishing outside the 40-fathom regulatory line. This gear allows for a 10-fish bag limit, with a sub-bag limit of 1 canary rockfish. Lingcod have a 2-fish bag limit with a minimum size limit of 22 inches[1].

    When it comes to bait and lures, for rockfish and lingcod, using squid, anchovies, or herring can be very effective. If you prefer lures, jigs and metal lures that mimic baitfish can also work well. For those who like to mix it up, plastic lures that imitate squid or shrimp can also attract these bottom-dwellers[3].

    If you're looking for some hot spots, Depoe Bay and Newport are excellent choices. Both ports have seen good fishing conditions recently, and the calm seas make it easier to navigate and find the right spots. Another spot worth considering is Charleston, which has also reported good catches of rockfish and lingcod[1].

    In addition to these spots, the offshore longleader fishery is another great option. This fishery allows anglers to catch more fish and distributes the effort away from nearshore species, making it a sustainable and rewarding choice[1].

    So, grab your gear, check the tides, and head out to the Central Coast. With the right bait and lures, and a bit of luck, you should be able to land some nice catches today. Tight lines, everyone
