newport harbor fishing - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I got dragged 200 yrds by a bat ray on 8# test before I lost him to a mooring can.I hooked a sea lion on 20# test and was pulled at breakneck speed until I thumbed the spool and broke him off

Be careful with the juvi-WSB.they can be thick at times.

Thanks all for the tips on fishing Newport bay. Here's the better half of the RedSledTeam...Roman was on fire! But the rain cooled him down after 4 hours in the wind and rain! But there were a few brief periods of calm, enough to catch a few Spotties!

Where did you launch?

I've tried the area around 15th street, but the palce your in looks different.

The Newport Aquatic Center. It's a very easy launch and a little over a mile to the
PCH bridge.

Great report. I wish my kids liked to fish.

Can you park your car there and go kayaking on your own kayak, without the aquatic center towing your car away?

I usually just park in balboa island and go kayaking from there there since parking is free.

We went into the Center and asked the office about parking. We were given the the "ok" to park and use the beach, maybe because of the absence of people due to the rain? Our polite and positive attitude may have helped also.
