While your there stop in an ask Tim about the monthly Fishing with Friends tournament and pot luck he puts on every month. It's a good opportunity to meet other kayak fisherman and pick their brains about fishing the area

I wasn't sure if they only let people who bought a kayak there use their launch or if they let joe public use it. I know in the summertime (tourist season) sometimes they have a guy out front keeping people from using their parking lot unless they are there to buy/rent from the store.

Someone i met recently OTW said they allow people who belongs to Kayak Fishing Mafia and people who attends the turny.

THANK YOU ALL for good info! Will stop by and definitely ask about the tournament. On another note, fished Newport bay today with a sandy and spotty. Very slow, beautiful day on the water though. Ill definitely be using the parking map! Thanks again!!
