Newport Local Rockies.
Went out Sunday morning with a couple of buddies and met William Novotny & Jay Yew at the launch/water.
Williams group and mines split our ways to fish our own honey holes in search of some feesh. Launched by 630, and got to the grounds by 7am. http://i1322.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0166774e.jpg Found some smaller schools, but no biters for a good hour or so till a huge pod of Porpoises came cruising by. Awesome site to see. (Picture does no justice. There were literally hundreds of them.) http://i1322.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6de10d43.jpg Buddy David caught 6 Reds & a Sculpin. http://i1322.photobucket.com/albums/...psc5c0062d.jpg Friend Bryan took home 6 Reds & 2 Chuckles. http://i1322.photobucket.com/albums/...ps375f3245.jpg And I limited out with 7 Reds, 1 Barber Pole, & 2 Chuckles. http://i1322.photobucket.com/albums/...ps288b29e2.jpg |
Thanks for the report Arvil. Looks like a good productive day on the waters. :reel:

Good meeting you out there Avril, looks like you guys did really well out there too!!
|
nice meeting up with you guys yesterday.. we got a late start, and just caught the dolphin highway passing thru. Pretty amazing.
Only 2 hours, and I couldn't figure out my FF. In the harbor, it was reading reasonable depths, like 24-27ft.. but out in the rockfish areas, it would just display between 0.0 and 3.4 ??? The split screen looked reasonable, and sometimes I thought I was drifting over fish, but unsure. Luckily, Arvil was on the fish and sticking close to him, my son was able to pull in a nice sized copper on the double dropper loop. http://instagram.com/p/mvSQFaFOTv/ :kayak-surfer: |

And I get the award for Best Video Editing! :cheers1: the backstory.. I don't even know what that small bait fish is.. or where it came from. I suspect the copper rockfish in one of it's convulsing fits might have puked it out (gross, right?).. my son rinsed it off and was inspecting it. I said, "I bet you won't eat that", and he says, "what will you give me if I do".. I say, "nothing, but I'll video it, and mom will FREAK OUT" He says, "uhmm... do I have to actually eat it?".. and we're ON. |
Nice seeing all you guys out there. I agree with Will, next time have that many people out there from BWE, we should start a jackpot. We were running late so I did not have time to introduce myself.
The pod of dolphins was amazing! |
Nice job Arvil! Way to kill'em out there.
|
We should definitely do a meet and greet if we go out for some rock fish again.
Avril, you are correct. Im Paul and I get sea sick. Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk |

My buddy and I were out there Sunday too. We were both in Hobie Revo 13's(His is yellow and mine is Ivory Dune)Each ended with a decent stringer of reds and chuckle heads. Also encountered all the dolphins...really cool. Counted about 17 other yaks in the same area. Said hi to a few, all seemed to be nice guys. Been fishing out of Newport for close to ten years now. I used to get sea sick every time I ventured outside the harbor. A few years ago, I discovered a "cure" that's been working 100% of the time for me. Basically stay hydrated (with water) ;) the day before; and more importantly, take 1 or 2 "Less Drowsy Dramamine" pills before bed. "Bonine" never worked for me but I heard everybody reacts differently to each.

Nice work Arvil :cheers1:
|
Looks awesome. By the way, I'm new to Newport Beach, where do you launch the yak? It looks a nice area to launch your yak.
|
What were you guys using out there? Live bait, cut bait, soft plastic swimbaits, jerk baits, jigs, Gulp baits, bucktails, all of the above? What works best for you guys?
