Jorluivil gave some good info. You are probably closer than you realize. One of the things I like to do is once I find some fish in a certain depth, I will work that "band" of depth up & down in searh of other schools. I could be completely wrong (and I often am ) but it seems like whenever I find some at a certain depth, I always find more at that depth. That does not mean I never find additional fish at other depths, I just have success working it that way. Another thing I have found at Newport - the fish seem to move way more often than other spots. You can be on a spot, drift it once and they've moved right after. Most of the time close by but they've moved, especially the big Reds. Keep at it man, you'll get em.
