Catch Limits, Tides, and Sizzling Fishing Action - Your Oregon Coast Fishing Report for June 7, 2025

Howdy folks, Artificial Lure here with your Oregon Pacific Coast fishing report for Saturday, June 7, 2025.

We're looking at sunrise at 5:29 am with sunset at 9:00 pm, giving us plenty of daylight to get those lines wet. Tide-wise, we've got a low tide early morning, high tide mid-morning around 10:43 am at 4'9", another low at 4:01 pm at 2'2", and a nice high tide at 10:06 pm hitting 7'0". Perfect timing for those evening fishing sessions.

Ocean conditions are improving after a rough patch earlier this week. The Small Craft Advisory has lifted, but always check the latest marine forecast before heading out.

Fishing's been heating up all along the coast! Bottom fishing remains excellent with rockfish limits reported at most ports. Depoe Bay charters are bringing in rockfish limits consistently, with some nice lingcod in the mix. The daily bag limit is still 4 rockfish per angler, scheduled to increase to 5 fish starting July 1st. Remember, yelloweye and quillback rockfish are prohibited, and there's a one-fish sub-limit on canary rockfish.

Halibut fishing has been productive with varying success by port. Depoe Bay anglers are averaging over one fish per angler, while Newport and Charleston are seeing about half a fish per angler. Brookings anglers are landing about a quarter fish per person. The all-depth halibut season is open daily in the Central and Southern Oregon subareas, while the Columbia River subarea is open Thursdays through Saturdays.

Chinook salmon season is open from Cape Falcon to the California border with a two-salmon daily limit. Minimum size is 24 inches for Chinook, and remember, coho retention is closed. Catch rates for ocean salmon should improve considerably this month, so now's the time to get out there!

For hot spots, try the waters off Depoe Bay for halibut and bottom fish – they've been consistently productive. Brookings Harbor has been yielding some nice black rockfish, with a personal best 24-incher reported on June 5th. Also, don't overlook the beaches for surfperch if the ocean's too choppy.

Bait-wise, herring and anchovy rigs are working well for salmon. For bottom fish, shrimp flies tipped with squid or herring are the local go-to. Jigs in the 4-8 oz range in white, blue, or green have been taking nice lingcod.

Remember to check the latest regulations at the ODFW website as in-season changes can happen quickly, especially with quota-managed fisheries like halibut and salmon.
