Newport Harbor Spots
 

Had the day off today and the wind forecast did not look good, so decided to hit the harbor. Its been a while since I caught a Spotty. I usually fish with plastic grubs and swim baits but decided to try and use a 15gm jig at the docks. That did the trick as the bass were eager to hit. There was a good tidal flow as well so that may have been a big part of it.

A good way to spend the afternoon -- nice-looking spotted bay bass.:reel:

Can’t go wrong spending time in the harbor when the ocean’s not looking too good. Even better when the Spotties are cooperating.

Newport has been looking good lately.
