This is Artificial Lure with your coastal Oregon fishing report for the Pacific this morning. We’ve got a mild early-summer pattern along the north and central coast. Overnight marine layer inland, but on the water you’re looking at **high 40s to low 50s at daybreak**, climbing into the **low 60s** by afternoon if the sun punches through. Typical **NW wind building to 10–20 knots** by midday with a light wind chop. Swell is running fairly **small to moderate, around 3–6 feet**, but always check the latest bar and marine forecasts before you run outside. Sunrise is right around **5:30 a.m.**, with **sunset close to 9:00 p.m.** That gives you a big window, but the best bite has been on the **dawn flood** and again on the **evening push**. Tides are in a **moderate cycle** today, with a pre-dawn **low** turning to a **flood through the morning**, then an afternoon **ebb**. On the jetties and inside the bays, that first part of the flood has been the ticket for rockfish and lingcod; slack and early ebb have been decent for halibut and crabbing outside. Offshore, boats working the usual rock piles in **120–200 feet** are still finding good **black rockfish** with a mix of **canary and yellowtail**, plus some solid **lingcod**. Catch counts from local charters out of **Newport and Depoe Bay** the last few days have been near limits on rockfish with 1–3 lings per rod on better days. Halibut has been spotty but steady enough: one here, one there for boats that commit to the grind on the deep spots. Best setups offshore: - For rockfish: **2–4 oz lead jigging irons**, metal jigs in **chrome, green, and blue**, or shrimp flies tipped with a small strip of squid or herring. - For lingcod: **6–8 oz jig heads** with **white, root beer, or motor-oil swimbaits**, plus whole or plug-cut herring on a mooching rig. - For halibut: **spreader bars** with **whole herring or large anchovy**, 2–3 feet off the bottom, slow drift on the edges of the humps. Inshore and around the jetties, **greenling, cabezon, and smaller lings** are chewing on the softer tides. A **2–3 oz jig** with a curly-tail grub, or just a **sand shrimp or clam neck** on a dropper loop, will keep the rod bent. On calmer mornings, **surfperch** along the sandy beaches near river mouths have been reliable on **Gulp! sandworms**, **small pieces of clam**, or **sand shrimp** on a simple high–low rig. Salmon-wise, action has been **scratchy but improving** where seasons are open. Troll **cut-plug herring**, **anchovy**, or **3–3.5” spoons** in **green/glow and chrome** behind a flasher. Run 20–40 feet down early, then deeper once the sun gets high. Two hot spots to circle on your chart: - **Newport area – Yaquina Bay and North Reef**: The **North Jetty and nearby reefs** have produced consistent rockfish and lingcod in 60–120 feet on the morning flood. Inside the bay, folks are still seeing decent crabbing on the softer parts of the tide with chicken or fish carcasses in pots. - **Depoe Bay – nearshore reefs north and south of the harbor**: Small run out of the hole, then work the **kelp edges and rock piles** in 40–100 feet. Limits of blacks and some chunky lings are coming on metal jigs and swimbaits, especially when you hit that first two hours of the flood. If you’re bank-bound, don’t ignore the **jetties at Newport, Garibaldi, or Florence**. Bring extra gear; the rocks eat tackle. Focus on **current seams, eddies, and pockets** out of the strongest flow, and fish the first part of the flood or last part of the ebb for the safest, most productive conditions. That’s the word from the Pacific this morning. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.
