 Good morning folks, this is Artificial Lure with your fresh Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for Sunday, May 25th, 2025.

The early bird got a real treat today, with sunrise around 5:35 AM and a sunset set for about 8:45 PM, giving plenty of daylight to chase after the big ones. Skies along the coast are mostly cloudy with moderate northwest winds picking up by midday and air temps sitting in the low 60s. Swells are moderate—watch for choppy conditions as the day goes on, especially by afternoon. Check the latest tide table for your launch, but expect a morning low and a rising tide through midday, which always helps fish activity near shore.

For salmon anglers, Chinook season is open from Cape Falcon down to the California border, though coho is closed for now. Success has still been hit and miss this week due to some rougher weather days, but the best catches have been reported off Newport, with about 0.3 Chinook per angler. If you’re after salmon, troll herring or anchovy behind a flasher, or try a hoochie setup. Focus efforts from 80 to 150 feet of water just off the reef edges for your best chance, especially in the morning when the water’s a bit calmer.

The bottomfish bite is solid. Lingcod and rockfish are showing up well on suitable days. Yesterday, charters out of Depoe Bay pulled in some nice lings and a healthy mix of black rockfish, with some limits hit early. For these guys, drop a lead jig or swimbait in white, rootbeer, or glow colors, or use a chunk of fresh herring or squid for bait. Canary rockfish are fair game now—just remember yelloweye and quillback are always off-limits. Flatfish action is steady for those focusing closer to the sandy bottoms.

Halibut season is open and drawing good crowds. The best action has been reported out of Newport, with just over a fish per angler when boats could get out last week. If you’re halibut hunting, use large herring, salmon bellies, or octopus tentacles on a spreader bar rig, and soak them in 250 to 400 feet. Columbia River and Central Coast subareas are open at all depths, so there’s plenty of opportunity.

Surfperch fishing continues to be productive along the beaches. Redtail surfperch are taking shrimp or sandworms at spots like Horsfall Beach, Bullards Beach, and near Cape Blanco. They’re easing toward the river mouths, so scout those transition zones.

Hot spots today: Try the rock piles off Newport for both halibut and bottomfish, or the reefs near Depoe Bay for a solid lingcod bite. For surfperch, hit Bullards Beach or Cape Blanco near the river mouths.

That’s all for now—tight lines, be safe out there on the Pacific, and send in those big fish photos!
