Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to Oregon coast angler spillin' the beans on today's fishin' from the Pacific shores. It's March 14, 2026, and we're lookin' at a solid day out there—sunrise at 6:53 AM, sunset 7:26 PM, givin' ya about 12 hours 13 minutes of daylight per Tides4Fishing charts for Netarts.

Tides are pumpin' with a high coefficient of 42, low but buildin'. Expect low tide around 7:48 AM at 4.8 ft, high at 6:30 PM pushin' 6.8 ft—perfect for surf casters workin' the incoming. Weather's coastal classic: mild temps in the 50s, some wind off the water, but small craft advisory lingerin' till evening from recent NOAA warnings, so watch those swells near Pacific City.

Fish activity's heatin' up early spring style. ODFW just stocked lakes like Cleawoux near Florence with over 4,000 trout, and Alder Lake got 636 legals plus trophies—fresh fish bitin' in nearshore bays. Ocean-side, coastal bottomfish season kicked off, with canary rockfish limits at five per day in areas from Ilwaco to Neah Bay per Peninsula Daily News. Locals report steady lingcod and rockfish hauls, plus early chinook showin' in the Columbia plume—plunkers nailin' 'em on herring. Salmon seasons gettin' hashed out at PFMC Newport meetin' soon, but springers are active.

Best lures? Rage DB Craw softies infused with coffee scent for bottom bouncin'—fish love that mask on human stink. Jigs and herring strips rule for halibut and bottomfish; drift or chum 'em slow on slack tides. Live sand shrimp or mud shrimp for bay trout and perch.

Hit these hot spots: Yaquina Bay jetties in Newport for rockfish and perch—tide rips are gold. Or Cape Kiwanda near Pacific City for surf perch and lingcod; work the low tide cuts.
