Newport, 7-12-11 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Well prefishing was interesting to say the least. Met up with Landwhale and Inshorefisher this morning about 6am. The south wind was blowing pretty good and it was chilly. Water temp dropped about 4º this week and the fishing reflected it. Plus, the tide was barely moving early on and after the slack water it stayed slack. It was SLOW today. Steve and Drew did better than me number-wise, but I don't know by how much. Myself, I only had 2 fish. Both were legal, but not big. Quite a few short biters today and I broke off 2 better fish. I pretty much threw the kitchen sink today, but both fish came on a 3" Flurry. Hot Sauce added of course. Hopefully things pick up soon.
