Newport 6/2

Decided to go out of newport this morning to try for some sheephead. Got out to the kelp around 7 am, the wind was blowing pretty good and it was a bit choppy, this made the trip already a bit harder. Didn't have much trouble finding the right kind, but i couldn't get the right size.

Trying not to leave with an empty cooler, I decided to go with plan B which was get some rockfish. This ended up being extremely difficult with the chop and wind, my drifts were very fast. However, my rod did manage to load up and I happened to have double hooked some decent reds. Got another one a little while after and called it a day around 1030. Conditions could have been a lot better but I would still say that it was a good day to be fishing.

I used shrimp in the kelp and for the cod I was using a 6" Basstrix Trixter and grub on the bottom.

The Fish Count:
Kelp- 1 small calico 3 short sheephead 1 perch
Shelf- 1 starry rockfish (released) 3 vermillion rockfish

Might have to postpone the trip. Swells and currents look sketchy for thursday. Maybe hit The Wall on Weds, but im not set on it yet.

They're at stater bros. That stuff is the bomb. My friend and I made it a tradition to always take some on a fishing trip.

Yeah SocalMatt I did see you over there in the kelp for a bit. Me and hooked face are going out Sunday to try our hand at rock fishing, not exactly sure where but I have an idea of where it might be off the point. If I see ya ill definitely give you a nod. I have a red xtreme and I usually have a woodland print PFD on
