Headed down south for my aunt and uncles 65th wedding anniversary. And when I go down south I always make sure I get to fish a little. This time I grabbed the float tube and fished Newport Bay. Not an easy thing to do in a float tube with the tide, you really have to pretty much kick the whole time so you don't get to far. Tons of big boats cruising by, but they really don't close. It is a great place for a kayak which I hope to get some day. Fishing was pretty good all the way through and at the top of the incoming tide. Fish started small but finally got bigger. 7 weight rod with T14 shooting head and size 2 red clousers. Throw out and let sink down for about a count of ten and strip back in, the bigger fish hit real hard and the halibuts are a blast. Can't wait to catch a bigger one but this one was a keeper size, but of course I let it go.














Can't wait to go back, San Diego for sure in January.
