Newport Harbor 7/25 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Took the Thresher out to the Harbor today, had plans of heading south to CDM but stayed inside instead. The swell would pump every once and a while and send in a few large rollers peaking over the jetty on the Wedge side and slamming the inside jetty on the South side. No complaints here though, caught a just shy legal Cuda on a 1 oz Crocodile at the bait barge that was a fun fight on the bass gear. Then started to nail the Spotties when the tide picked up. They were SLAMMING swimbaits, the Croc, even 5" jerkshads. They were hitting the plastics em like they owed them $$$. Lost a nice bass today but thats is the name of the game. Best part of the day was the wind never seemed to pick up. A gust here or there and that was it. Best day I have had in Newport in a while.

Look at the gut on this pig!
