Newport Bay (above PCH Bridge)

[Needlefish]

Very late post, sorry guys. Fished above the bridge late Sunday for a few small bass and one nice YFC (almost 3 lbs). Got a halibut as well. Saw the flatie leaping out of the water after a baitfish...........waited and threw in that direction and sure enough he bit.............not big 17" or so but alot of fun seeing these fish "boiling" on the flats. All fish caught on AA"s and fish traps.

Thanks for the report Needlefish! Maybe I'll see you there one of these days.

Needlefish,
Thanks for the report and congrats on getting out fishing. I know what you're saying about hali's in the shallows. I've had the smaller ones chase a swimbait right up to the point where they saw the kayak before turning away. Too bad the larger ones don't have the same bad habit, although that's probably why they got to be larger in the first place instead of table fare . Talk to you soon,

Perry
