Pacific Ocean, Oregon Fishing Report - Daily

Pacific Ocean Fishing Forecast: Tides, Weather, and Hot Spots for February 12, 2025

Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing in and around the Pacific Ocean, Oregon. As of today, February 12, 2025, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip.

### Tidal Report and Weather
First off, let's check the tides. For Florence, OR, the tide is currently falling, with a high tide at 1:30 PM and a low tide at 7:03 PM[2]. The weather has been calm, allowing for good fishing conditions. Early last week, calm ocean conditions prevailed, which is great news for those heading out today.

### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today was at 5:35 AM, and sunset will be at 8:55 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out on the water.

### Fish Activity and Recent Catches
Fishing has been decent in the marine zone. In areas like Newport, Depoe Bay, and Charleston, anglers have been catching a mix of rockfish, with an average of about 2.5 rockfish per angler. Lingcod fishing has also been good, with an average of about 1 to 1.5 fish per angler[5].

### Best Lures and Bait
For rockfish and lingcod, using the right lures and bait can make all the difference. For rockfish, especially in the offshore longleader fishery, jigs and soft plastic lures work well. However, if you're targeting lingcod, hard plastic lures like twitch baits or spoons can be very effective[4].

If you prefer using bait, herring and anchovies are excellent choices for a variety of species, including rockfish and lingcod. For those targeting salmon, such as coho or chinook, salmon eggs, herring, and anchovies are top picks. Prawns and salmon roe also work well, especially further up the rivers and tributaries[3].

### Hot Spots
Here are a couple of hot spots you should consider:

- **Depoe Bay**: This area has seen good conditions recently, allowing many vessels to pass out of the harbor. Fishing here has yielded about 2.5 rockfish per angler and an average of 1.5 lingcod per angler[5].
- **Newport**: Known for its consistent fishing, Newport has provided decent catches of rockfish and lingcod. The calm weather last week made it an ideal spot to get out and fish[5].

### Additional Tips
Remember to check the daily bag limits and any in-season regulation changes before you head out. For shore-based anglers, the rules are the same as for boat-based anglers. Also, keep an eye out for herring, which typically start spawning in the bays and estuaries around Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day[5].

With the right gear, knowledge of the tides, and a bit of luck, you should have a great day out on the water. Tight lines, and see you on the next cast
