Pacific Ocean, Oregon Fishing Report - Daily
Pacific Ocean Oregon Fishing Report March 2025

Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Pacific Ocean, Oregon fishing report for March 12, 2025.
Let's start with the basics - sunrise is at 6:32 AM and sunset's at 6:15 PM. We've got a high tide at 8:45 AM and a low at 3:20 PM. Weather's looking decent with partly cloudy skies, temps around 55°F, and light winds from the northwest.
Now, onto the good stuff! Fishing's been pretty solid lately, especially for bottomfish. Anglers have been hauling in limits of rockfish and lingcod near Newport and Depoe Bay. The halibut season's still a couple months away, but folks are already getting excited.
Speaking of excitement, spring Chinook are starting to show up in the Columbia River. It's still early, but a few lucky anglers have landed some nice ones trolling herring near Astoria. Expect that action to heat up in the coming weeks.
For you surf perch enthusiasts, redtails have been biting well along the sandy beaches. Clam necks are still the top bait, but don't overlook Gulp sandworms or small pieces of shrimp.
As for lures, I've been hearing good things about blue and silver Crippled Herring jigs for the bottomfish. If you're targeting those early springers, you can't go wrong with a chartreuse or purple Fish Flash paired with a cut-plug herring.
For some hot spots, try fishing the reefs off Yaquina Head for bottomfish. The jetties at the mouth of the Umpqua River have been producing some nice lingcod too. If you're after surf perch, Agate Beach near Newport has been consistently good.
Remember, regulations can change, so always double-check before you head out. And don't forget your crab pots - the Dungeness have been plentiful lately!
That's all for now, folks. Tight lines and see you on the water!
