WSB South OC

Anthony,

I am planning to fish Newport on Saturday in search of WSB, halibut, or Thresher (and if none of that hits, rockfish). I havent scored a seabass yet from the kayak either so I can't offer any advice from experience, but if you want to give it a go with me on Saturday your company is more than welcome. I do know that halibut bite well with the moon and I have read that seabass do as well and we do have a new moon friday night so Saturday should be a good day to give it a shot. Let me know...

I fished Crystal Cove last Friday AM and it looked really promising. Corona del Mar, not so much. Plenty of greenbacks around Pelican Point, deeper kelp. I have put in a fair amount of time here and still looking for the Newport ghost.

Hey Cody, sounds good I'd love to tag along! I was planning on launching Saturday as well. I have not landed one either, these fish are haunting my dreams! Let me know when you plan to launch sounds like fun

I guess promising is good to hear! Last few times i've been out there greenbacks have been pretty easy to come by, hopefully that continues. Well shit, sounds like my best option is to get out there as much as possible....increase those odds haha thanks for the info

The more the merrier... if we can't find the right kind and end up fishing rockfish we can split up and cover more ground looking for hard bottom and once someone finds it we can all try to sack up on taco meat.

I like to launch at Kid Beach (on Balboa Blvd.) Let's meet up there around 6-6:30?

I checked the forecast... 0-1ft swell at long intervals (grease calm in other words) and 4kts of wind all day. Epic.

Sounds like a plan I'll be there by 6am. I'm a bit of a pack rat so i'll need some extra time to setup. I'll bring a box of squid for the taco meat.
