Newport, 4/23/17

Went out for rockfish today. I got plenty of nibbles but no takers. My sidekick managed to scratch up three nice sized ones in 170-190 ft. Gulp swimming mullets in chartreuse out-fished squid strips today.

Water was a little over 65 degrees, and the swells weren't too bad earlier in the morning. It was a little sketchy coming in (around 11:30). Slight washing machine like conditions outside the harbor made it even more fun trying to navigate the incoming/outgoing traffic.

We try to get out there as much as we can. Let me know next time you come out to Newport. We've been making a conscientious effort to explore other fisheries (Dana Point, Mission Bay, SD Bay, etc).

Nice job. I never thought of using Swim Mullets for rockcod; I use mine for the harbors. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks. Just be sure to bring a bunch. Tails kept getting nibbled off!
