NPH? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Kevin · 05-29-2019, 07:42 AM

Looking for some advice for Newport Harbor. I'm taking my wife out kayaking there this weekend and plan to fish for spotties and anything else I can entice. I plan to bring two or three rods to fish crank baits and spinners. The 3 rod would be a finesse set up for plastics.

What I need to know is where is a good place to launch that has good parking mid morning (8 or 9 am)?

What depth crank baits work best?

any recommendations for plastics?

I am aware of that. But My question had more to do with parking. Is parking a problem later in the morning?

On a nice weekend, yes, it will be. You would be better off getting their earlier if you can.

YOu should be okay at the Coast Guard station 8am or earlier and all spaces are usable for the beach access on weekends.

yeah hit and miss with CC station that late. Try your luck anyways and if its full you can park on the street, but that gets busy also as the yacht club next door gets packed. Good luck and have fun. Maybe i will see you out there as I pass by on my new to me center console.
