Newport, 11-4-17 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Amish Ed · 11-04-2017, 12:50 PM

Landwhale and launched at 7:00am. Clearish skies and little wind. Didn't setup the FF so I don't know what the water temp was, but it was cooler than 2 weeks ago. It was also super clear and had lots or loose weeds.

We worked our normal areas for no much success. Ironically the best fishing we had was in the moored boats on the peninsula side where there was zero current. Also, they were almost all in the 6" range too. I got 5 there and they were the only fish I had. All were caught on a 1/2oz Coolbaits underspin with a 5" Kalin grub in clear hologram. Hot Sauce definitely made the difference too. Overall, better than working!

A fishing report! Thanks, haven't seen one in a while. Fish or no, it's still good to see a report.

Yeah, I slacked on writing a report 2 weeks ago. But, in general I haven't fished much since getting the new job.
