Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to Oregon coast fishing guide. It's December 15th, 2025, and we're lookin' at a blustery day on the Pacific—Wind Advisory from the National Weather Service kickin' in early mornin' through 4 PM, with gusty winds pushin' unsecured gear around, strongest up north in the Coast Range. Sunrise at 7:48 AM, sunset 4:34 PM per Pacific City tides data, so get out there quick.

Tides at Oceanside and Nestucca Bay entrance are prime: low at 2:40 AM around 2.8 ft, high 5:44 AM at 6.7 ft, low noonish 1.6 ft, evenin' high buildin'. Netarts charts show low solunar activity today, but fish don't always read the calendar.

Action's hot on lingcod and rockfish—ODFW just set 2026 limits bumpin' lingcod to 3-fish daily bag since populations are healthy, rockfish stay at 4 with 2 canary max. Recent reports from Oregon Fish Reports and NorCal boats mirror it: charters out of nearby spots haulin' limits like 50 rockfish, 10 lingcod per boat, plus Dungeness crab combos—California Dawn nailed 240 crabs and 180 rockfish yesterday. Black rockfish drivin' the bag limits after 2025 quotas filled fast. Salmon's slow on rivers like Chetco with low water, but offshore bottom bouncers are lit.

Best lures? Jigs in bright whites or glow for rockfish and lingcod—drop 'em deep on structure. Swimbaits or bucktails for aggressive hits. Bait-wise, live herring or anchovies if you can net 'em, but crab pots are gold with Dungeness season openin' Dec 16, Coast Guard helos back at Newport for safety.

Hit Depoe Bay for reefs crawlin' with lings, or Yaquina Bay jetties for rockfish close in—watch swells though, ocean's churnin'.
