 Artificial Lure here with your fresh Pacific Ocean Oregon fishing report for Saturday, May 24, 2025.

Today dawned with a classic coastal spring chill. Sunrise hit the water at 5:34 AM and we’re looking at sunset around 8:45 PM, giving anglers a long window to chase fish. The weather is mild, mid-50s to 60s, with a light northwest wind building in the afternoon. Swells are currently steady and manageable, holding mostly under five feet, so ocean access is pretty fair for boats and shore anglers alike.

Tides today play a big role—expect a high tide just after sunrise and the next low by midday, making the hours around the morning and evening slack tides prime for action, especially if you’re targeting surfperch, salmon, or bottomfish. Remember, fish like surfperch and herring follow the incoming tide into estuaries and bays, so time your efforts accordingly[1].

Lingcod and a variety of bottomfish are biting well all up and down the rocky shores, with reports of solid limits coming in from spots like Cape Arago, Simpson Reef, and north up toward Depoe Bay. Most anglers are scoring lingcod on simple setups: jig heads with curly-tail or paddle-tail rubber swimbaits in white, motor oil, or root beer color. For rockfish, smaller metal jigs and shrimp flies in pink or chartreuse are top picks[1][3][4].

Surfperch fishing is heating up as they move toward river mouths. Beaches around Horsfall, Bullards, and close to Cape Blanco are producing big redtail perch, especially on sand crab, shrimp, or gulp sandworm baits. A light spinning rod with a carolina rig is the local favorite here. Fish the nearshore troughs on an incoming tide for best results[3].

Salmon seasons are in a transition. From Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, you can keep two salmon a day, but coho must be released until the selective season opens June 7. King salmon fishing out of Brookings just opened and early reports are promising, with trollers picking up quality Chinook on anchovy or plug-cut herring trolled behind flashers in 60 to 120 feet of water. Look for bird activity and bait balls to find feeding salmon[2][3][5].

Halibut season kicked off in May and plenty of quota remains for the Central Oregon Coast. Boats working deep gravel and flat spots off Newport and Winchester Bay are seeing some steady action using large herring, squid, or octopus. If you’re patient and willing to run out to 200+ feet, your odds are solid[3][4].

Hot spots this week:
Depoe Bay for bottomfish and lingcod, Horsfall Beach for surfperch, and offshore Brookings for spring kings and early halibut.

Stay safe out there, check your tides, and remember your measuring stick for lingcod. Good luck and tight lines from your local source, Artificial Lure.
