Newport rockfish - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

fishyhutjr · 03-25-2014, 05:19 PM

Hey guys,
I got my first outback this week (thanks to jorluivil). I have never been after rockfish on a 'yak before, so got any tips? I will be going out of Newport this Saturday. Is a fishfinder absolutely necessary, or will I be able to find 'em by doing random drops in 200+ ft of water? I usually fish out of lb where most spots are small but have no idea how big general rockfish areas are out of Newport. Any other tips such as general direction/location?

I do have a garmin 540s sitting in my garage, but it doesnt have any cables/transducer. Anybody willing to sell his/hers?
