Newport 8/5/17 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

blitzburgh · 08-06-2017, 09:48 PM

Another fun day on the water in the OC. Launch was crowded at 5:50a. Forecast was pretty accurate until about 11a, wind picked up fairly stronger than the prediction. All good as that was right when I got my limit Mostly nice size Reds, a nice Starry and the kicker Red below that taped out at 22" with one of the biggest heads on a Rocky I've seen. Ended the trip fishing turd rollers off the beach, all released of course. Beautiful day on the water. Tight lines!

Beautiful red, what a toad!

Nice RED! Good to see some action on the bottom. Maybe I will go search around and try to find a school for myself out there. Been a little while since I have fished out NB. I am absolutely not against a bag bag of reds.
