Nice work! that was my buddy and I on the 12s. It was his first trip and probably his last Lol, dude got sea sick and came back in. I ended the day with a few red nothing like what you got. Also found a few nice white fish and a huge sand bass.

Will bass take a release from depth

Iceman · 03-19-2018, 07:24 AM

Wow really good grade of fish, without giving up the spot curious as to what depth

Jizzling · 03-19-2018, 07:42 AM

What was the rig of choice to landing these bad boys???

JohnMckroidJr · 03-19-2018, 11:04 AM

Nice ones ! Wish every trip could be completed as planned.

Denis_Ruso · 03-19-2018, 12:43 PM

Thanks Andy! This spot is kinda shallow in 140'. There are tons of spots I've marked out there between 120 - 240'.

Hey man! Nice to meet you. It got real snotty out there, real quick. Those wind waves plus the multi directional current made it interesting.

Yea for sure, everytime I looked down for a bit I drifted 30 yards off the spot. It didn't settle down until noon but that was about when it started getting a little more choppy.

Thanks! I have not even fished for rockfish in a few years and have never tried off Newport. I like fishing under 200 feet!

Nice post and great quality/quantity rockfish.
Cheers!

Hunters Pa · 03-23-2018, 08:08 AM

Some of those bellies are pretty fat. Did you check what they had been eating?

blackcloud9 · 04-13-2018, 09:06 PM

Just FYI, that is a great catch! It's not exactly your limit.

You could have caught two more Rockfish, and three more Sheephead.

And 10 Whitefish.

And 5 Sculpin.

(Not that I would want to fillet all that!

)

Looks like a great day! It's so fun when you can find those isolated stones like that!

I also sent you a private message with another question.

Congrats and thanks for posting the report!
