Hey man! Nice to meet you. It got real snotty out there, real quick. Those wind waves plus the multi directional current made it interesting.

Yea for sure, everytime I looked down for a bit I drifted 30 yards off the spot. It didn't settle down until noon but that was about when it started getting a little more choppy.

Thanks Andy! This spot is kinda shallow in 140'. There are tons of spots I've marked out there between 120 - 240'.

Thanks! I have not even fished for rockfish in a few years and have never tried off Newport. I like fishing under 200 feet!

Some of those bellies are pretty fat. Did you check what they had been eating?

Both Goats coughed up some large shrimp. All the others had small fish in them. Looked like other Rockfish.

Just FYI, that is a great catch! It's not exactly your limit.

You could have caught two more Rockfish, and three more Sheephead.

And 10 Whitefish.

And 5 Sculpin.

(Not that I would want to fillet all that!

)

You don't always have to catch your limit you know. Spot preservation is key if you want to get big fish every time you fish an area.

Looks like a great day! It's so fun when you can find those isolated stones like that!

I also sent you a private message with another question.

Congrats and thanks for posting the report!
