Newport Harbor and Just Outside Mixed Bag 7/15/10

[ldsaylor]

Hello FNN! It seems like it has been ages since I have been able to get out on the kayak and wet a line. So today I got home a little early and decided to try my luck at an afternoon session.

Water in the harbor is very clear and there were alot of baitfish present. Headed toward the mouth dropshotting Golden Sardine 5" Berkley Jerk Shads with some spottie success and one 18" Hali. Brought my bait tank along and picked up a scoop of dines and decided to head around the corner to the kelp. Got one nice calico and a little cuda. The weather was awesome and the bite was pretty consistent. No complaints. All fish were released as usual. Here are some pics from the day..

Looks like you got some great extended exercise in on the yak while fishing! Not one to sit in one place myself!

Nice variety out there!
