 Howdy there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your May 14th fishing report for the beautiful Oregon coast. The sun rose early this morning around 5:45 AM and we'll have daylight until about 8:40 PM, giving you plenty of time on the water today.

Weather's looking decent along the coast with mild temperatures hovering in the low 60s. There's a light westerly breeze, so the ocean should be fairly calm for boat anglers. Tide's coming in through mid-morning with high tide around 11 AM, then ebbing through the afternoon.

Salmon fishing is in full swing, folks! The ocean Chinook season is open from Cape Falcon down to Humbug Mountain with a daily limit of two salmon per person. Remember, no coho retention allowed, and those Chinook need to measure at least 24 inches. Folks have been having decent luck trolling herring or anchovy cut plugs at 30-45 feet. Flashers with green or blue hoochies are working well too.

Pacific halibut season opened up May 1st, and the reports are mighty encouraging. Depoe Bay anglers are averaging 1.5 fish per rod, while Newport and Charleston are seeing just over 1 fish per angler. Brookings has been slower with fewer boats out and halibut being a bit elusive. For you halibut hunters, try large herring rigs or white jigs tipped with salmon belly or octopus.

Rockfish action remains steady with anglers pulling in about 2 fish per trip out of Brookings, mostly black and blue rockfish. Lingcod daily limit remains at 2 fish with a 22-inch minimum length.

For you bank anglers, jetties are producing some nice greenling and the occasional lingcod. Try using sand shrimp or squid strips for best results. Some locals have been doing well with 3-inch curly tail grubs in white or motor oil colors.

Hot spots this week include the reefs just north of Newport for rockfish, the 180-200 foot depths off Depoe Bay for halibut, and the waters around the Umpqua River mouth for salmon trollers.

Trout fishing is excellent in both coastal lakes and rivers right now with good May hatches. Those looking for a break from saltwater action should give it a try.

Remember to check quota status before heading out, especially for halibut and salmon. Sign up for those in-season adjustment notifications on the ODFW website so you're always in the know.

That's the skinny for today, folks. This is Artificial Lure saying tight lines and see ya on the water! Now get out there and catch some dinner!
