Newport, 5-28-18 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Amish Ed · 05-28-2018, 12:26 PM

Launched with Landwhale about 7am. Cloudy and cool with a light breeze. water felt cold, but no FF, so I don't know what the temp was. We fished the buoy line first and Steve had 5 before I got my first. As we moved from that area and drifted with the tide, it slowed for Steve. Next thing I know I have 5 fish. We eventually move over to the peninsula side, but there was zero current. I had one bite over there. We moved back across to the moored boats there and started to get bit here and there. Finished with 7 for me and I think 8 or 9 for Steve. Off the water by 10.

My best performer today was a black and silver Speed Shad (3.8" I think) on an underspin. Also rans include a 3" Big Hammer in City Shrimp and a 4" Houdini Paddlez. Using Hot Sauce made a difference today too.
