Jesse is not so much a little girl (most of the time) I have seen big humps on my sonar out at NPH.

Jamie were you with us when the Mola mola breached in front of Kevin ... that was crazy.

Aug 2015, Newport outside the harbor to the CDM side. Throwing irons, I caught the one you see, released to swim another day, the other pic my son lost at the boat. Both on the same day. They are out there.

Great pictures of the yellowtail from the kayak. Thanks for posting it.
Now I definitely need to get out on my kayak more often.

We can only hope more YT come around. 2 weeks ago at CDM I was YT splashing surface for bait fish 25 yards away, threw swim bait over but he moved on already. Some Day I will land my first YT!! Actually maybe its too late as the waters are cooling down.

Yes I was on the jetty.
I watch the tides and waves on Tides4Fishing and Surfline.
That morning it was 3.6 high at 7:15. But yes some of the waves were coming up pretty high. (I won't admit to getting my feet wet.) The waves were suppose to be 3-4 feet with some bigger sets. That's about my limit.

Nice catch there. Maybe one day I'll score a nice yellow there. All I seem to catch
On my yak are nice wakes over my bow by boats ripping through by the mouth of the harbor :/

Newportdogs, post more if you can, good stuff.
I haven't had as much time to fish this year (I'll be out in yellow Revolution 11) but haven't caught any bones this year from Newport the two times I've been out. I've only caught calicos macks cudas and an occasional sheep for some reason. I've been fishing with artificials only though

Way cool, were you guys just blind casting or did you meter bait and start working it?

We were blind casting, we didn’t meter or see any bait. There was a post about a week earlier that someone else picked up a few YT so we gave it a shot. Picked up a couple of the biggest bonito we’ve ever caught that same day. We actually thought they were YT.
