Newport pattys day rockstravaganza
Got a bunch of mixed reports from some fellow members I saw coming in from the rock fish grounds yesterday so i decided to go out and see for myself. Are my spots getting picked off??? Let's see.....
Got out there at about sunrise. Little chop but not bad and the current was very manageable. got out to the spot and first drop pulled up this fish. I.d. On this anyone? Had some pretty colors next drop brought up 2 whitefish. Shiiiit, hope my spot isn't dead. Moved out about 10' deeper and did a pass of another one of my spots and started getting hits. 45 minutes later it was time to call it a day. Ended up with a great haul of quality taco meat. All chunks, but the highlight was a huge bacaccio that had my light tackle bass setup pinned to the side of my kayak.

That's great. It looks like you did really good. That's enough taco meat for a large party. Well done Will.

Yummm!
Sounds like I needed to move around and find "the" spot and drift over. It was my first Rockfishing at NPH and looking forward to go out soon. It was nice meeting you yesterday! Brian |

If this is whitefish then the other fish were croaker. I've been told that whitefish look a lot like croaker so I assumed the fish I was pulling in was whitefish. So this is a whitefish huh? I always release if I'm not sure on I.d.
