Newport, 3-10-16 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thanks for the report Ed. I managed to hit Newport bay yesterday (Wed.). Didn't arrive until about 10:30 a.m. Launched at the CG station.

Met 2 guys coming in from fishing. One guy managed 2 small cudas I think by the kelp off Corona. He also had 2 small bass of some kind.

Super high tide on arrival then as I fished, the outgoing tide was really moving. The fish I got all seemed to be located just off the main really fast current. It was easy to see where the current tailed off by the debris that swirled around. All fish caught we not in that fast current.

Fished the buoy line up towards little Corona, then back down to the moored boats by the CG station. Managed 5 bass - 2 spoties, 1 calico, 2 sandies. No keepers but one of the sandies was close.
All caught on 4" big hammers in Christmas tree color with small lead head.

I'll be curious to hear how you guys do if you hit up Dana Pt.
