c'mon guys. There has to be a place where this fellow can fish.

I've never done NPH, but I'm betting so long as you aren't trolling, have a head on a swivel and maybe just slinging plastics you should be okay.


Create your own luck and give us an updated report!

I was just asking about fish report but I really didn't think about boat traffic
Hmmm it gets pretty busy on a regular weekends during summer
I don't want to run into one of those big boats and they do go fast sometimes
Hmmm that maybe same for other harbors as well this weekend

What my response meant:

One of the busiest boat weekends in one of the busiest harbors and you want to fish in the busiest area of the harbor.



All the places will experience extra traffic but many places like outside of Redondo, outside long beach even outside the DP harbor may be a little more room to avoid the drunk ass guy on his bayliner or the rental jet skier trying to set a world speed record.


Go somewhere!

Post up and good luck.

that sucks because there are rumors of yellowtail on paddies just a few miles outside of NPH, as well as some breezing 20 fathoms in pv....could be a hell of a season...

I launch out of Newport harbor whenever I go fishing. But I usually fish the corona del mar kelp beds. There's always plenty of calicos and sand bass by the kelp. Haven't gotten skunk yet. I'm planning on fishing the kelp bed on Sunday 6am-12pm. Don't fish the harbor much because of the heavy traffic. I'll be in a yellow stealth 9 if you wanna join me on Sunday.

If you are gonna fish NPH this weekend, I would definitely recommend the kelp beds because they are rarely ever that crowded. Or you can fish the deeper water spots, since those are far enough out that the boats don't tend buzz by your yak. Good Luck!
