Bait Station in Newport Beach - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

They've had some really good squid mixed with crappy miniature useless anchovies that do nothing but clog up your bait tank

The newport bait barge stays moored in the Harbor till late November regardless of supply. Their contract with the city does not allow them to pull out earlier. Ive gone out and kept a few friends company on the empty barge long after San Pedro bait company stopped dropping off bait.

The anchovies have been inconsistently varying in size from tiny usless crap as was stated above, to decent. If you're nice to the attended he will chase around the big guys and make sure you have at least a few.

Thanks! I was out there on Saturday, you are right! Anchovies very small, but it put me on a higher level of fishing vs. using death bait, and the good thing, that my homemade live well kept all the fish alive and healthy. May be next time they have bigger bait. The time and money I spent on the live well, paid off

Thanks again!
