Fishing the Southern Oregon Coast: Lingcod and Rockfish Bite Strong Despite Winter Storms
Today, January 26, 2025, the fishing scene off the Southern Oregon Coast, particularly around Brookings, is looking promising despite the challenging winter weather. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
### Tides and Weather
As of today, the high tide is at 9:02 AM with a height of 7.2 feet, and the low tide is at 2:30 AM with a height of 1.5 feet, and again at 2:15 PM with a height of 1.0 feet[2]. The weather has been choppy and windy, but there have been brief windows of calmer conditions, allowing charter boats to venture offshore.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 7:44 AM, and sunset is at 5:00 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips.
### Fish Activity
Lingcod and rockfish have been biting well between the winter storms. Yesterday, charter boats managed to get offshore and returned with limits of quality rockfish and lingcod. The action has been steady, with a wide assortment of fish caught during these brief weather windows[1].
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Limits of lingcod and rockfish are common, with some trips also yielding crab as they check crab pots on the way back in. The fall season saw a hot lingcod bite, and this trend seems to be continuing into the winter months[1].
### Best Lures and Bait
For lingcod, using large jigs or lures that mimic baitfish can be very effective. Rockfish often bite well on squid, shrimp, or small jigs. When targeting both species, a combination of these lures and baits can increase your chances of a successful catch.
### Hot Spots
The Point St. George Reef Lighthouse is a hot spot for both lingcod and rockfish, with easy limits often reported from this area. Another good spot is Mack Arch, where some of the biggest lingcod of the season have been caught[1].
Overall, it's a good time to get out on the water if you can catch one of those weather windows. Be prepared for changing conditions, and make sure to check the latest tide and weather forecasts before heading out.
