Artificial Lure here with your June 21st, 2025 fishing report from the Oregon Pacific coast—let’s get right to the details for all you early risers and saltwater sharpies.

We’ve got a classic late-June morning shaping up. For those checking lines near Pacific City, sunrise is right at 5:28am, and you’ll have daylight all the way to 9:06pm. Tidal swings are solid: expect low at 4:08am (zero feet), high at 10:09am (five feet), another low at 3:21pm (just over two feet), and a robust evening high at 9:30pm (over eight feet), according to Tides.net. This sets you up for good early-morning and evening action, especially with that strong incoming tide before dark.

Weather’s been stable—expect morning clouds breaking into sun, highs in the upper 60s, and a manageable northwest wind. Swells have been moderate, so smaller boats can get out, but always check local marine forecasts before launching.

Let’s talk fish activity and what’s been caught lately. The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife notes halibut fishing is open and rolling with over 70% of the Central Coast quota still in play as of June 8. Depoe Bay anglers have seen above-average halibut action lately—over one fish per angler on good days, while Garibaldi and Newport are holding closer to half a fish per rod. Charleston and Brookings are a bit slower but still worth the effort if you can drift those deep flats.

Ocean salmon season is heating up with Chinook available from Cape Falcon to the California border—remember, coho retention is closed for now, but that changes soon as the selective coho season (mark-selective fin-clipped) is also open until the earlier of August 24 or quota fill. Chinook are running strong, with a daily bag of two salmon (one Chinook, if you’re south of Humbug Mountain through July 15). Folks are putting solid numbers in the box, especially near Astoria’s Buoy 10 if you’re thinking about running north—Fast Action Fishing reports coho are already stacking up near the river mouth during high tides.

Bottom fishing is a consistent option—Dockside Charters in Depoe Bay reported boat limits or near-limits on rockfish, along with plenty of lingcod and even some blackcod. Canary rockfish can be kept (one per angler daily), and cabezon season reopens July 1.

Surfperch are a fantastic inshore target right now. Redtails are biting well on ocean beaches like Horsfall and Bullard’s Beach, and striped surfperch are coming from rocky shorelines. Sand shrimp, mole crabs, or artificial sand worms are the top baits—bring plenty and fish the incoming tide for best action.

Hot spots to put on your list:
- Depoe Bay for halibut and bottom fish—numbers have been great on those calmer days.
- Astoria/Buoy 10 area for ocean salmon, especially on the big morning or evening tide.

Best lures:
- For salmon, run cut-plug herring, hoochies, and flashers in green or chartreuse—troll them deep early, then shallower as the sun gets up.
- For halibut, classic spreader bars with herring, squid, or large white grubs are the ticket.
- Surfperch love sandworms and shrimp, fished on a simple dropper rig near the breakers.

That’s your on-the-water scoop for today. Thanks for tuning in—be sure to subscribe for more coastwise fishing action. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease dot ai.
