  • Summary

  • For January 5, 2025, if you're planning to hit the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coast, here's what you need to know. First, let's look at the tides. Today, the high tide at Depoe Bay is around 4:07 AM PST at 8.3 feet, and the next high tide will be at 4:37 PM PST at 7.5 feet. Low tide is at 10:03 AM PST at 3.3 feet and again at 10:31 PM PST at 3.5 feet.

    Weather conditions have been challenging lately, but they seem to be moderating. Early last week, ocean conditions were rough, but they have started to improve.

    Fishing has been decent in various spots. At Newport, fishing was good early last week with catch rates around 4 fish per angler, and lingcod landings were close to 1 fish per angler. At Depoe Bay, the fishing was pretty fair with about 2 fish per angler, and lingcod was good with an average of 1.5 fish per angler. In Charleston, despite low effort due to challenging conditions, the boats that made it out saw limits of rockfish and half limits of lingcod.

    For today, sunrise is at 7:53 AM PST, and sunset will be at 4:44 PM PST.

    The best fish to target right now include rockfish, lingcod, and flatfish. The general marine bag limit is 4 fish per angler until June 30, with specific sub-bag limits for species like canary rockfish (1 fish) and cabezon (closed until July 1, 2025). Lingcod have a 2-fish bag limit with a 22-inch minimum size limit.

    For lures, jigs and baited hooks are effective for rockfish and lingcod. Using squid, shrimp, or crab as bait can increase your chances of catching these species.

    Hot spots include Depoe Bay, where the fishing was pretty fair last week, and Newport, which saw good catch rates early in the week. Charleston is also worth a try if the conditions improve, as it showed potential for rockfish and lingcod despite the low effort.

    Remember to check the latest regulation updates and ensure you are within the bag limits to help conserve the marine resources. Good luck out there
