Pacific Coast Oregon Fishing Report - June 6, 2025

Artificial Lure here with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for Friday, June 6, 2025.

We’re kicking off the morning with a classic coastal sunrise at 5:29 a.m., and you’ll have daylight until sunset at 8:59 p.m. It’s a great stretch for anglers looking to get in some evening casts. Today’s tides around Pacific City see a low at 4:00 a.m. (1.3 ft), high at 9:32 a.m. (4.8 ft), another low at 3:16 p.m. (1.8 ft), and a solid high again at 9:33 p.m. (6.1 ft), according to tides.net and regional tide tables. These mixed tides are prime for both nearshore and offshore action.

Ocean and weather conditions have been a little up and down lately, but this week is shaping up for solid fishable windows, especially early mornings and late afternoons when the winds tend to back off. Recent reports from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife show that Depoe Bay and Garibaldi are producing well, with over one fish per angler on average at Depoe Bay, and about half a fish per angler at Garibaldi and Newport. Charleston is a bit slower, but boats out of Brookings are picking up a few fish with catch rates at about 0.25 per angler.

Halibut is hot right now, with both inshore and all-depth seasons open across the Central and Southern Coast. Charters out of Depoe Bay and Newport have been reporting limits on deeper runs, especially for big lingcod and rockfish. Lingcod are chomping on larger swimbaits and flutter jigs, while black and canary rockfish are hitting shrimp flies, curly-tail grubs, and metal jigs.

Salmon anglers, you are in luck! The ocean Chinook season is open from Cape Falcon down to the California border, with a two salmon daily bag limit (no coho retention right now). Chinook are being taken trolling herring or anchovy behind chartreuse or green flashers, especially during the outgoing tides in the mornings. Brookings Fishing Reports note catch rates are improving as we move into peak summer.

For surf anglers, the minus tides have brought in big schools of surfperch to the beaches around Pacific City and South Jetty at Newport. Sand shrimp, clam necks, and Gulp! camo sandworms are working best. In the estuaries, spring chinook is still fair, with a few sea-run cutthroat trickling in. Spinners, small spoons, and natural baits like sand shrimp are top picks.

Hot spots for today:
- Depoe Bay reefs for lingcod and rockfish—try vertical jigging in 80–120 feet.
- Brookings and Gold Beach for halibut and early-season Chinook—troll outside the kelp beds during incoming tides.

Stay on top of regulations: yelloweye and quillback rockfish remain closed, and the cabezon season doesn’t open until July. Always check the latest ODFW updates before heading out.
