Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report. Offshore and along the north and central coast, we’re sitting under a cool, early‑summer pattern: mornings starting in the low 50s, afternoons topping out in the low to mid‑60s, light northwest wind building to 10–15 knots by late day, and that typical marine layer hanging in until mid‑morning. Most coastal forecasts from the National Weather Service are calling for afternoon wind chop and a small but persistent northwest swell around 4–6 feet, so plan your bar crossings early and be back inside before the afternoon blow. Sunrise is right around a quarter after five in the morning, with sunset just before nine in the evening, giving you a nice long window to work the tide changes on both ends of the day. Coastal tide tables for spots like Garibaldi, Newport, and Coos Bay show a decent morning high followed by a dropping tide mid‑day, then an evening flood. That makes first light through the first couple hours of outgoing, and then the evening push, your prime bite windows. Bottom fishing has been the star lately. Local charter skippers out of Depoe Bay and Newport have been reporting easy limits of **black rockfish** with a mix of **blue rockfish**, **lingcod**, and the occasional **cabezon** on nearshore reefs in 60–120 feet. Most boats are still seeing full rockfish limits in just a few drifts when the wind is manageable. Best producers have been standard two‑hook shrimp‑fly rigs sweetened with a small hunk of squid or sand shrimp, or 4–6 ounce lead‑head jigs tipped with curly‑tail grubs in motor oil, root beer, or white. For lingcod, larger 6–8 ounce jigs or swimbaits in brown, green, or glow patterns are getting hammered right on the bottom. Salmon remains slow and spotty offshore, with only scattered reports of **Chinook** showing on the 40–60‑fathom line. When they do pop up, they’re coming on flasher‑herring combos or UV hoochies trolled 25–60 feet down. Keep expectations modest unless you’ve got very fresh intel. Inshore, the jetties and bays are worth your time. Tillamook Bay, Yaquina, and Coos have all given up good mixed bags of rockfish, greenling, and the odd ling off the rocks, especially on the last of the incoming and first of the outgoing. A 3–4 inch swimbait on a 3/8–1 ounce jighead, or a strip of herring on a dropper rig, will take just about everything that swims those rocks. Remember to fish tight to structure and be ready to lose some gear. Crabbing has been fair to decent in the lower bays and estuaries. Chicken legs and fish carcasses in a pot soaked on the channel edges are the ticket. Expect more hard‑shell keepers the farther you get toward the bar. For bait, it’s hard to beat **fresh squid, sand shrimp, and herring** right now. For artificials, pack **4–6 inch swimbaits**, metal jigs, and shrimp flies in natural baitfish and darker rockfish colors. If the water’s a bit green or off‑color, glow bellies and chartreuse tails can make a real difference. A couple of hot spots to circle on the map: - **Depoe Bay reef complex**: Nearshore rock piles north and south of the harbor have been very consistent for rockfish and lingcod when the swell allows smaller boats outside. - **South Jetty at Newport (Yaquina Bay)**: Fish the ocean side on a flooding tide with swimbaits and bait rigs for a mixed bag of rockfish, greenling, and an occasional lingcod. Watch your footing and the swell. That’s the bite around the Pacific side of Oregon for now. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.
