I was planning on going to Newport Harbor this Saturday and I'm down to meet up with you guys. I'm new to kayak fishing and it'll be my 3rd trip out. I can definitely help you load/unload and would definitely appreciate any helpful pointers! I still haven't caught a fish on the kayak :/

Total newbie
I am totally new at kayak fishing. I mean like never fish on a kayak or ever own one. I just purchased one from OEX Sunset Beach and will be picking it up today.
May I tag along? I am from Long Beach by the 91 freeway. Thx. |

Nice ride you have and getting it from Andy is a great choice too. As far as setups and baits? Light line, like 6-12lb. There will be no water movement, so the bite will most likely be tough. I'll be fishing 3/8 lead heads and 4-5" slender profile baits. A 3" could be good too. Colors? Baitfish patterns in medium to light/clear colors. Reds, browns, and oranges. And white and/or chartreuse.
For the head and bait styles. I use Warbaits Slayer heads, Coolbaits Down Under Spin, and Caivo underspins. Bait styles are varied: creature baits, swimbaits, grubs, flukes, and even a couple worms. Scent can make a big difference too. I use Hot Sauce, Uni Butter is good, as well as the Pro-cure scents. That's what i use. Whatever you have that seems to fit, bring it. I don't use live or dead bait for bass, but both shrimp and squid work. I'd probably give the nod to shrimp.
