Pacific Halibut and Salmon Fishing Hotspots on the Oregon Coast - June 14, 2025

Good morning, folks I'm Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing and angling. Today, June 14th, 2025, the Oregon coast is buzzing with activity, especially for those looking to reel in some Pacific halibut and salmon.

First off, let's talk about the weather. While ocean conditions were less than ideal last week, we're expecting a bit of a reprieve today. However, keep an eye on those seas, as they can get rough quickly.

Now, let's dive into the tides. For Pacific City, the tides are as follows: high tide at 2:14 AM with a height of 7'5", and again at 4:36 PM with a height of 5'9". Low tides are at 9:53 AM with a height of -1'0", and 9:35 PM at 3'1". These tides can be quite influential on fish behavior, so plan your day accordingly.

Sunrise today is at 5:27 AM, and sunset will be at 9:04 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out on the water.

As for fish activity, Pacific halibut fishing opened on May 1, and the Central Oregon Coast and Southern Oregon subareas are open daily at all depths. Recent reports from ports like Depoe Bay and Brookings show some success, with Depoe Bay averaging over one fish per angler and Brookings managing about 0.25 fish per angler.

For salmon, the all-salmon-except coho season is open from Cape Falcon to the Oregon/California Border, with a daily bag limit of two salmon. Coho salmon are abundant in the catch, especially out of the Port of Brookings Harbor, where coho, or silver salmon, are showing up in good numbers.

When it comes to gear, using jigs and squid lures can be effective for halibut. For salmon, try using lures like spoons or plugs, and consider using bait like anchovies or herring.

If you're looking for hot spots, Depoe Bay and Brookings are both worth checking out. The waters around Point St. George Reef Lighthouse are also expected to be productive, especially for lingcod and rockfish.
