Great Day out of Newport

Some nice rockfish today at 200 past the buoy. Also caught a PB sand bass (16inches) on the yak today. Caught it in a shrimp fly no squid on it with a 6oz sinker. He slammed it. Got really choppy right at noon.

Once I put the turbo fins on.... I felt like Michael Phelps and Husain Bolt combined! It’s amazing now.

What kind of fish finder do you have. It’s very subtle humps in floor. It’s not super large and noticeable. Some are but you will be out there awhile looking for them.

Don't focus on finding structure, but there's a few nice hard bottom spots out there that are closely guarded. However, if you kayak around between 175-295 and look for baitfish clouds with some thicker yellow/red marks, drop fast! They're often on humps or small rocks that are hard to pick up on sonar.

Thanks for the info. Appreciate it. When you go out past the red buoy to 192 to290 is it straight out or is it to the left or is it to the right when you come out of the jetty. I plan on going out this Saturday.

Thanks

Study this map, play around with the different overlays. Look for anything out of the ordinary and go there with your sonar. Also, bottom lock your sonar to 30-50 feet, and use a heavy sinker to drop right down as soon as you see the beginning of a mark. Don't drop after you see the full mark, cause it'll already be behind you. That's how small the rockfish spots are here.

no problem, a couple of years ago a fellow fisherman shared some gps points with me. I went out and never got on the points but near them I cleaned up on sand dabs. Which was still great to me, I love eating sand dabs. Thanks for sharing the map.

I guess I'm dumb as a rock, are all those marks on the chart from you? Waypoints you have marked when fishing. I see X's and it looks like flowers. I'm really not trying to find your spots just trying to understand what I'm seeing.

Good question, but no they aren't mine. I wouldn't give them up that easy

But yeah look at the map overlays to just understand where to look and not waste time. Ditto on the sanddabs, they are great. Redondo has been kicking out HUGE ones recently.
