'Bottomfish Bounty and Spring Salmon Specials: Oregon's Pacific Fishing Report for March 2025'
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for March 17, 2025.
We're looking at a partly cloudy day with highs around 55°F and light winds. Sunrise is at 7:18 AM and sunset at 7:23 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines. Tide-wise, we've got a low tide of 1.2 feet at 8:26 AM and a high of 7.5 feet at 2:31 PM.
Fishing's been pretty decent lately, especially for bottomfish. Anglers have been pulling in good numbers of black rockfish, lingcod, and cabezon. The Depoe Bay and Newport areas have been particularly hot. Salmon fishing is starting to pick up too, with some early spring Chinook being caught near the river mouths.
For bottomfish, jigs and soft plastics in white, green, or motor oil colors have been working well. Don't forget to tip them with some squid or herring for extra enticement. Speaking of herring, they're the go-to bait for salmon trolling right now. Try rigging them in a helmet or behind a flasher for best results.
Surfperch fishing has been heating up along the beaches. Sand shrimp and Berkley Gulp sandworms in camo color are your best bets for bait. The stretch between Cannon Beach and Manzanita has been producing well.
For you crabbers out there, the ocean's been a bit rough, but when conditions allow, folks have been pulling up some nice Dungeness from just outside Yaquina Bay.
Hot spots to check out: Try fishing the reefs off Seal Rock for bottomfish, or hit up the Salmon River estuary for a shot at those early springers. For surfperch, the beach at Gleneden Beach State Park has been on fire.
Remember to check the regs before heading out, and tight lines to ya!
