There is no way you'll find it wirhout gpd/ff. If you get on one you'll drift quickly, the spots are small and scattered. Best bet is to find the other kayakers and ask if you can stick with them. I've been out there many times where I've met random kayakers and guilded them on to spots during the day.

People around here are also pretty protective of there spots but generally very open if you ask in person.

Well one of my buddies is getting limits or near limits without one. Meanwhile, I'm barely getting a couple! LOL!!
We've found them as shallow as 140 and deep as 220, so it's just a matter of finding the right rockpile I guess. I'd like to try this Saturday since I didn't go out the last few weeks. Anyone down?

On the weekends, you will usually see at least several yak'ers out there.
There are quite a few spots out there that hold fish. The challenge is to stay on top of the fish, since you may be drifting at a decent rate. |

Who ever owned rock pile in NP .... say good bye !!!
A buddy and I were heading out of Newport and this guys asked me where you headed, I replied rockfishing, he said I don't have a fish finder can I join. we said sure. We fished and did all limits all around, high fives all around. A few days later this POS dropped a google maps pin my spot on facebook group saying "hey guys this is where all rockfish are in Newport".
I have fished this spot for year at most 3-4 groups at a time. We have been very diligent about not putting too much pressure on the fish. These POS show up with 15 people pulling up every fish imaginable, 8 inch sheephead 12 inch lings... I personally feel so guilty for allowing this to happen. Honesty, I have not fished my honey hole for months. It saddens me to see thes POS go out there and do this . I have pics but I do not want to post the because most of them are friends. |

I did that once, showed a guy how and where to catch spotties in O'side, next thing I know he's telling me he limited out three days in a row. I even told him the resource is limited and release them.
Not doing that again.
