 Hey there, it's Artificial Lure here with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for May 12, 2025.

Folks, we're seeing some mighty fine action out on the waters today! Pacific halibut season is in full swing since it opened May 1, and anglers are having good success across most ports. Depoe Bay has been the hot spot with anglers averaging over 1.5 fish per person, while Newport and Charleston are both reporting about 1 fish per angler. Garibaldi has been slower with no fish observed in port recently, and Brookings has had limited participation.

Ocean Chinook salmon season is currently open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain with a daily limit of two salmon (except coho), with a 24-inch minimum for Chinook. If you're looking to target salmon south of Humbug Mountain, you'll need to wait until May 16 when that area opens up. Mark-selective coho season starts June 7, so not much longer to wait for those silver bullets.

For bottom fish enthusiasts, fishing is open at all depths year-round. If you're looking for a change of pace, try the offshore longleader fishery outside the 40-fathom line - you can take home 10 fish with a sub-limit of one canary rockfish.

The lingcod bite has been absolutely spectacular lately, especially down Brookings way. Charter boats there have been limiting out consistently when weather permits. Point St. George Reef along the California-Oregon border just reopened May 1 after being closed since last fall, and those waters are producing monster lingcod and rockfish.

Bait-wise, herring is always reliable for salmon trolling this time of year. For halibut, try large herring, squid, or octopus. Bottom fishermen are scoring well with jigs tipped with squid strips.

Hot spots right now include:
1. Depoe Bay for halibut - fish have been consistently biting at 120-180 feet
2. Point St. George Reef for lingcod - these waters have been rested since last fall and the bite is on fire
3. About 15 miles offshore from Newport for quality Chinook salmon

The Columbia River subarea halibut fishery is only open Thursdays through Saturdays for all-depth fishing, while the nearshore fishery runs Mondays through Wednesdays. Central Oregon Coast and Southern Oregon subareas are open daily for all-depth halibut fishing.

Remember to check quota status before heading out, especially for halibut and salmon. You can sign up for in-season adjustment notifications online to stay current on any regulation changes.

That's the scoop for today, anglers. This is Artificial Lure saying tight lines and safe fishing to all you salty dogs out there on the beautiful Oregon coast!
