Whoa.. good points! I was planning on doing Newport on Monday also, with my son. Pick up some bait to troll, but maybe head out a mile or 2 to deeper waters and look for rockfish? Maybe with the boat traffic, I'll just stick to the rockfish plan and head out there? Maybe hit the kelp on the way back in? Do you think the boat traffic will be a problem that far out? I'm going with my 9-yr old son, and would rather not have to deal with a$$holes waking us as they speed by every few minutes. Thanks..
