April Oregon Coast Fishing: Rockfish, Lings, and Early Chinook Running Strong
Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for Pacific Ocean fishing off Oregon, comin' at ya live from the coast on this crisp April 10th mornin' at 8:35. Skies are partly cloudy with temps hoverin' 45-55°F, light northwest winds at 5-10 knots—perfect for not gettin' soaked. Sunrise hit at 6:25 AM, sunset's 8:00 PM, givin' us a solid 13.5 hours of light.
Tides today: low at 4:20 AM (-0.5 ft), high 10:30 AM (6.8 ft), low 4:45 PM (-0.8 ft), high 10:50 PM (7.2 ft). Fishin' peaks on the incoming tide mid-mornin' to early afternoon, when currents stir up the bait.
Fish are active post-winter—salmon runs buildin', lingcod and rockfish bitin' steady in 60-120 feet. Recent reports from Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife show limits of black rockfish (20-30 per boat), lings to 15 pounds, and a few early Chinook salmon near the mouth. Surf perch and striped bass haulin' in 10-20 fish strings from beaches.
Best lures: Kastmaster spoons or Buzz Bombs in chrome for rockfish; herring-imitation jigs like Point Wilson Dart for salmon. Go live bait with whole herring or sand shrimp on a spreader bar—can't beat 'em when they're keyin' on forage.
Hot spots: Hit the jetty at Yaquina Bay for perch and lings—drop straight down. Or troll Depoe Bay reefs for salmon; structure's holdin' fish tight.
Bundle up, watch the swells at 4-6 feet, and tight lines!
