Fishing Newport Harbor - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thanks for the advice guys. I ended up going there with a friend this Sunday. We got there around 7:30 so it was already "late" morning. My 3" bighammer with scent got maybe a nibble or two, but that was it! I switched to cut up macs and shrimp, and got small nibbles EVERYTIME, but ended up skunking. My friend used his sabiki rig and caught like a dozen macs, however. He was happy because he likes using cut up mac as bait in other bays and places we frequent. you were right... bait barge was gone. I saw a handful of other yakkers out there too.
