Newport, 8-18-17 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

360 light and headlamp and you'll be fine. I've done a lot of night fishing and only use a headlamp. Night time in Newport can be epic. Parking is the real issue. Harbor Patrol will nail you if you're in their lot after 10pm. And if you're parked on the street, the neighbors might call the PD if they think you're too loud. I've been talked to before as the neighbors said I was a prowler. And finally, keep your head on a swivel. Boats can sneak up on you pretty easy. Have fun and post a report.

Thanks for the info. I will definitely post a report when I get out there for a night session. Was thinking of trying to park just outside the coast guard station so I'm not in front of any residences.

What day of the week? I might be up for a Saturday night sometime.

I'll probably go this Friday. Heading up to Silver Lake next weekend for Labor Day but after that I'll send you a PM and we can go fishing
