Sunday morning at Newport

[Hondatom]

Launched at 7:00, tried the bay for an hour with no luck. paddled out to the channel buoy and sat for a little while, no luck there either.
Headed south about 400 yards and dropped a squid to the bottom,HOOK UP! Hooked a little sand bass. Dropped another squid and got another one on the fall. 5 minutes later, got another one. Back to back to back,5 in a row then nothing.
Paddled over to the kelp at CDM with no results other than one big crab.
Worked things over for about 4 hours and kept nothing. The ocean was a little rough with boat traffic and a consistent 3' swell from the west.
If anyone knows who owns the boat named "California Style" Please tell them to kiss my ass! That rat bastard buzzed me a little close while he was at mid throttle and putting out a wake as big as the waves on Maui's north shore. I am really glad I saw it and was able to turn into it or I would have flipped for sure.
