Questions about Newport Bay?

[Fish]

Hey guys, Im thinking about heading to Newport tommorow(friday if anyone wants to join or show me the ropes hehe) ..kind of a last minute decision, so i have a few questions..

where is the best place to launch from in newport(address)...also whats the parking fee like?

Im bringing plastic swim baits curly tails and lead heads maybe a few crank baits and spinner baits, of course hooks swivels and sinkers...anything else you guys suggest i bring?

BTW im mainly targeting Spotties and halibut if i can.

Rod wise , 66 medium bait cast 10lb line / spinning medium 6'6 with 6 or 8lb and probably my reaction bait bait caster with 10 or 12lb....what do you guys think?

let me know of any better suggestions....have caught spotties and white seabass there long ago but never fished for halibut there.

any suggestions appreciated

Thanks

Brian
