Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for March 29, 2025. Let's dive right in!

First off, sunrise is at 6:57 AM and sunset's at 7:39 PM. We've got a high tide at 3:42 AM (7.7 ft) and a low at 10:24 AM (0.8 ft). Weather's looking decent with partly cloudy skies, temps around 55°F, and light winds from the northwest.

Now, onto the good stuff! Fishing's been pretty solid lately, especially for bottomfish. Anglers have been hauling in limits of rockfish and lingcod near Newport and Depoe Bay. The halibut season's still a couple months away, but folks are already getting excited.

Speaking of excitement, spring Chinook are starting to show up in the Columbia River. It's still early, but a few lucky anglers have landed some nice ones trolling herring near Astoria. Expect that action to heat up in the coming weeks.

For you surf perch enthusiasts, redtails have been biting well along the sandy beaches. Clam necks are still the top bait, but don't overlook Gulp sandworms or small pieces of shrimp.

As for lures, I've been hearing good things about blue and silver Crippled Herring jigs for the bottomfish. If you're targeting those early springers, you can't go wrong with a chartreuse or purple Fish Flash paired with a cut-plug herring.

For some hot spots, try fishing the reefs off Yaquina Head for bottomfish. The jetties at the mouth of the Umpqua River have been producing some nice lingcod too. If you're after surf perch, Agate Beach near Newport has been consistently good.

Remember, regulations can change, so always double-check before you head out. And don't forget your crab pots - the Dungeness have been plentiful lately!

That's all for now, folks. Tight lines and see you on the water!

Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for March 28, 2025. It's shaping up to be a decent day out on the water, so let's dive right in.

First off, we've got a high tide coming in at 12:18 PM, reaching about 9.1 feet. Low tide's at 6:30 PM, dropping to a mere 0.4 feet. Sun's up at 7:04 AM and will set at 7:39 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with.

Weather-wise, it's looking fair but keep an eye on those swells. They might pick up later in the day, so plan accordingly.

Now, onto the good stuff - the fish! Folks have been having some luck with rockfish lately, especially black, blue, and deacon varieties. I've heard reports of anglers landing about 3 rockfish per person when conditions allow. Lingcod have been a bit trickier, with catches on the lower side compared to previous weeks.

For you salmon enthusiasts, the ocean Chinook season opened up earlier this month from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt. The limit's two salmon, but remember, no coho allowed. Make sure those Chinooks are at least 24 inches before you keep 'em.

As for bait and lures, can't go wrong with some herring or anchovies for your natural options. If you're more of an artificial lure angler like myself (wink wink), try out some metal jigs in blue, silver, or chartreuse. They've been working wonders for rockfish and lingcod in deeper waters. For you tuna chasers, tuna clones and feather jigs are still the way to go.

Hot spots? Well, I've been hearing good things about the waters off Depoe Bay and Newport. Anglers there have been seeing near limits of rockfish on good days. If you're willing to head a bit south, the Charleston area has been producing decent catches too.

Remember, folks, the ocean can be unpredictable, so always check the latest conditions before heading out. And hey, if the big pond's too rough, don't forget about our coastal rivers and estuaries. They can be gold mines this time of year.

That's all for now, anglers. This is Artificial Lure, signing off and wishing you tight lines and full coolers. Stay safe out there and don't forget to share your catch stories with me next time you see me at the docks!

Fish activity has been picking up lately as we're getting into prime spring fishing season. Rockfish and lingcod have been biting well, with lots of limits being caught. Some nice-sized black rockfish in the 3-4 pound range have been coming in. Lingcod up to 15 pounds have been landed too.

For those chasing salmon, spring Chinook are starting to show up. A few lucky anglers have hooked into some chrome-bright springers in the 15-20 pound class. It's still early, but numbers should increase in the coming weeks.

Surfperch fishing has been hot along the beaches. Redtails and silvers are abundant, with some real slabs in the mix. Striped perch are also being caught off the jetties.

As for lures, bright colored jigs tipped with squid strips have been deadly on the bottomfish. For salmon trolling, try green labeled herring or anchovies behind a flasher. Surfperch can't resist sand shrimp or Berkley Gulp Sandworms in camo or orange colors.

For bait, fresh anchovies or herring have been working great for salmon and bottomfish. Clam necks or sand shrimp are your best bet for surfperch.

It's still early, but things should really heat up in the next few weeks. Trolling herring or anchovy behind a flasher has been the go-to method.

Speaking of bait, sand shrimp and mole crabs have been productive for surfperch fishing from the beaches. Gulp sandworms and Berkley Gulp swimming mullets in camo or orange colors are also working well. For the boat anglers, you can't go wrong with live anchovies or herring for both salmon and bottomfish.
