Newport Tubin

[cappo]

Met up with Sonarbp at newport, was my first time tubin. We paddled over to the anchored boats and started tossing swimmies, jerk shads.

Landed my first tube fish, a nice spottie.


Brian had the hotstick of the day


Dinky bass


baby butt


I landed one more sandy


The jerkshad was the go to bait today. I lost about 7 fish, which sucked. YFC were flying every where. Never seen so many airborne fish in my life. At one point I was going to bust out the net and just catch them :lol: . Was a great first outing, and looking to many more. Thanks again Brian for lettin me use the fins.

hey cappo great going on your first tube fish.. did u get the hotspots fins or the other way??

[cappo]

I still dont have fins, I borrowed some from sonarbp

I've already spent too much on tube stuff, might get a cheap pair at big 5 or so.

Ya the tubing gear costs start to add up quickly. But if you buy all the good stuff the first time...no need to upgrade later...that's the way I looked at it.

Hey cappo,

It was great meeting you Sat in Newport. Sorry it was kinda slow!!!! I think all the fishies went and hid cause of the Plastic Navy tourney going on!!!!!

Glad we both beat the :skunk: !!! Next time I think we should launch further back in the bay.....I know a few great spots for quality spotties!!!

Let me know when you want to get back out and tube!!!!

You guys should bring along a bungie cord or a short length of rope to tie up to bouys or docks. This will let your legs rest and also allow you to fish in a good spot without getting moved out of position by the current. I use a long rubber bungie that has rubber coated hooks on each end so I can just quickly hook it to a dock mooring cleat or the top of a bouy. This is really a must have item when bay fishing.
