Newport Beach

Post by Bendo »

Offshore has become difficult with Bait Problems and 300 boats chasing 25 Kelp Paddies. I took a local Kid, Jake Surf Fishing just to check it out. We had a tough time getting Sand Crabs in the beginning, but conditions were perfect. We landed a big Corbina, a tough Guitarfish that fought hard for 10 minutes on 6 pound, and two Yellowfin Croaker. Then the Weedy water moved in and shut us down. On the walk back to the Truck we found a huge Sand Crab Bed but it was useless to try and fish anymore.

I still remember individual fish I caught when I was 13 years old, maybe younger. Nice job getting the kid out and into some fish. Respect for the 6 lb test guitar.
