welcome!!! i fish newport quite regularly as well as long beach. always take your bonine/dramamine before going to ensure that you dont end your day early (even if its flat out there). longbeach breakwater (outside) is not bad for a kayak, and if you fish 40-50ft away from the outside wall, there are lots of big sculpin to be caught. its only 40-60ish ft so using a 2oz is more than enough.
fishing on top of the kelp with BH lures tipped with squid will also give you some nice calicos and LOTS of cabezon. remember the cabbies are 15" minimum length!
