Newport Harbor report, Sun. 6-20
 

My first kayak fishing trip. Started around 6:00 at the Coast Guard beach, start trolling a big Rapalla on the way to the bait receiver, bang got a nice( my best) 23 sand bass! Not 5 minutes into my trip....I like this kayak thing! Got some sardines and loaded them into my minnow bucket, they stayed alive for 15 minutes :(

Went outside tha breakwall and south about a quarter mile, see birds, throw my last (dead) sardine out there, get hit and promptly break off what felt like a huge fish. (25 lb line) There was bait jumping all over in about 45 feet of water. I threw an iron for another calico of 18 inches.

Finished at 11:30....Great dinner for Fathers day!:D

Man, this kayak thing is fun! Thanks to all of you guys here and the kayakers I met on the water for the advice.

Got to go finish my bait tank....
