Oregon Coast Full Moon Stripers and Lings Heating Up This April
Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to Oregon coast fishing guru, comin' at ya live from the misty edge of the Pacific on this fine April 3rd, 2026. Water's chillin' around 52 degrees off Pacific Northwest shores per the Data Driven USA Ocean Fishing Forecast, with a full moon still pumpin' up the fish—striped bass, lingcod, and rockfish are gettin' frisky in moving currents and warm outflows.
Tides today: Low at 4:12 AM (-0.2 ft), high 10:47 AM (7.1 ft), low 4:33 PM (1.8 ft), high 11:02 PM (8.0 ft)—fish the outgoing for best action, especially dawn and dusk. Weather's classic Oregon: partly cloudy, highs near 58°F, light NW winds 5-10 knots, sunrise 6:42 AM, sunset 7:48 PM. Perfect for shore or boat without gettin' soaked.
Fish activity's heatin' up—recent reports show stripers hittin' hard in shallow bays on outgoing tides after dark, lingerin' on muddy flats. Limits of rockfish and lings comin' steady offshore, plus black rockfish nearshore. Anglers pullin' 10-20 fish days on reefs, with stripers to 30 inches and lings pushin' 15 lbs.
Top lures: Jerkbaits, soft plastics, and big plugs for stripers in shallows; bucktail jigs or softies dragged bottom for lings and rockfish. Bait kings: Live herring or anchovies on outflows, squid strips or crabs for bottom dwellers.
Hot spots: Yaquina Bay jetties for stripers at dawn—cast into the rip. Depoe Bay reefs 2-5 miles out for lings; drop straight down structure on the tide change.
Rig simple, read the water, and follow the bait schools. Tight lines, stay safe out there.
