Newport, 8-28-17 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Amish Ed · 07-28-2017, 02:14 PM

Launched at 6:45 with Landwhale. Air was cool with a pretty good breeze out of the west. lots of marine layer too. Water was 71-72º with some loose eel grass.

We worked the buoy line following the outgoing tide. We drifted all the way to the bait barge (lots of boats and yaks fishing it) and waited for the tide to take us back. It took a while for the current to start moving. Eventually with the help of the wind, which had shifted to come out of the south west, we drifted back to and along the buoy line. Steve did ok today with 11 bass, and I struggled to get my 5. Only 1 legal for me. 2 colors stuck out for me; 4" houdini Paddlerz, and 4" Kalin grub in chartreuse sparkle. All the baits were on a 1/2oz Coolbaits underspin.

Off the water about 10:45.

Thanks for the report!
Sounds like a good morning overall.
Although I can't help but wonder was this a prediction report for the future "8/28/17"

Thanks again

DOH! Thanks, just looked at my watch without thinking. I set it wrong yesterday. Explains why the tide function was off.

No sign of the flat kind?
