Newport Harbor Parking/Launching

[stevie951]

haven't been in a year or so but I heard the Coast Guard lot was closed due to covid but you can park on the street right there.. Make sure to bring wheels because the haul is pretty long to the water.... From there though it's a ten minute paddle out to open water.. bring some cut squid paddle about 1/4 mile out and you start to mark some nice rock piles it drops to 300 feet before you know it not much out there these days but you can pick one or two nice ones for dinner usually without issu unless the current is ripping then you need about 20 oz of weight fresh water wash down station/showers too are a plus when you land
