Newport Sat. 4/20 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Southman · 04-20-2013, 08:57 PM

Hit Newport from 7:30 to 11:30. Great conditions with little wind but a bit of a swell. No live well so I worked the BHamers.

Went out to a drop off where it got to 190 ft. I've never caught anything that deep but wanted to target the reds this time. All for Nada. I did see about 5 other yakers out there. Don't know how they did, though.

Ended up off Crystal Cove in the kelp and managed 4 calicos, one legal. All caught on the green/red 4". Also hooked a couple macs on the sabiki. All in all a great day fishing. Nice to be in shorts out there again.

By the way the bait barge is back in Newport Jetty.
