Newport Back Bay, August 29, 2010

i am very familiar with the backbay. not likely the bass were to far back there. however i do know of a great place with good structure and current. if you go back about mile or so from NAC the bay will bottleneck, i always do very well there for both legal bass, (somethings 18" or bigger) and legal halibut from time to time.

there is a spot back there that is great for spotfin croaker, love catching those guys. when is the season for those guys? caught a 24" spotfin right across from NAC several years ago, read that the record is 27". man was i proud! lol.

Thanks for the information.

Spotfin are bigger then the yellowfin, so I look forward to hooking one of those. Maybe this weekend?
