I hit Newport harbor yesterday in the tube thanks to a late night Friday night i got a much later start then i wanted to.

after about an hour and half of trying to find a halibut and only anther hour and a half before i had to leave for Irvine lake for the catfish co-op4 i decided it was time to give the spotties some attention

all fish were caught on Fool's Bait Co Hawg Seekers in the Jack-O-Lanter and Female Ghost Shrimp colors

first fish of the the day was a 14" hard fighter




the next one was a little on the smaller sized but very scrappy



then the size got better again this one was 10"



and then the last fish of the day before turning in to load up was also on the smaller size but one of those fish where you look at a spot and you say to your self there should be a fish there and what do you know there was one. Lol so i guess you can say this fish has read the book also

I love spotted bay bass. If I'm ever getting skunked in the surf I just hit the bay and dropshot. Excellent fighters and ALWAYS hungry! Nice pics.
