Newport 6/2
Decided to go out of newport this morning to try for some sheephead. Got out to the kelp around 7 am, the wind was blowing pretty good and it was a bit choppy, this made the trip already a bit harder. Didn't have much trouble finding the right kind, but i couldn't get the right size.
Trying not to leave with an empty cooler, I decided to go with plan B which was get some rockfish. This ended up being extremely difficult with the chop and wind, my drifts were very fast. However, my rod did manage to load up and I happened to have double hooked some decent reds. Got another one a little while after and called it a day around 1030. Conditions could have been a lot better but I would still say that it was a good day to be fishing. I used shrimp in the kelp and for the cod I was using a 6" Basstrix Trixter and grub on the bottom. The Fish Count: Kelp- 1 small calico 3 short sheephead 1 perch Shelf- 1 starry rockfish (released) 3 vermillion rockfish

They're at stater bros. That stuff is the bomb. My friend and I made it a tradition to always take some on a fishing trip.

Might have to postpone the trip. Swells and currents look sketchy for thursday. Maybe hit The Wall on Weds, but im not set on it yet.
