I have not been saltwater fishing for several years now, and I want to know if live anchovies and available from the bait boats and in particular Davy's Locker. I want to rent a skiff in Newport Harbor for me, my son and grandson, and I hoped that live anchovies would be available. The last time we rented a skiff all they had at the bait boat there in the harbor were large sardines. We used them, but they were so big that most of the fish in the bay didn't take them. Back when anchovies were available, we would catch all kinds of fish! You couldn't cast a live anchovy out without some kind of fish taking it. If you didn't get bit, there were no fish in that spot. Are the huge off shore schools of anchovies still gone?
