A few days in Newport - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thanks for the advice all! On the dropshot I was using a live bait hook not a long-shank (per advice I got on using this setup for surf fishing, so not the same). I can see how the longer shank can get more hookups.

Appreciate the advise on tides and eel grass, makes sense. Also, I like the idea of heading out, dragging macks but that might just be me leaning into what I know. Thanks all!
