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

WahooUSMA · 05-30-2010, 05:26 PM

What a zoo outside of Newport harbor today! It felt like we were at the Indy 500 for boats. Never seen so many big ass boats rippen' around. We got caught in some serious boat wake traffic coming back into the harbor. Its bad enough going out on a weekend, its even worse going out on Memorial Weekend.

Went out today with my brother (wmbeusch) and Jeremy (92yj) and his brother Travis. Lots of traffic and those damn speed boats doing circles like the toilet was being flushed! Jeremy C&R a small bass and butt. Decided to go outside and fish the kelp beds to the south for some hard fishing. Farmed a small sandy and that was it for me. Still a nice day out on the water.
