Newport to Crystal Cove in the morning

Plan on launching Newport around 5-6 AM. Make bait outside the harbor (heard I could get squid by the buoy) then paddle down to North Crystal Cove to do some halibut drifting and scouting fishing grounds. I have this feeling that there are big fish hanging around there.

Anyone want to get a workout? If I have someone with me then I'm game for trolling macs on the paddle to Crystal Cove and try for some threshers.

Any tips?

Thanks

Drifted live mac all the way down to the south end of crystal cove for no love. Think I got raked once. Maybe my bait was too big as the smallest I could catch was still about 8 inches. Should have brought some squid.

Down at crystal cove there was a fish that was jumping every few minutes so I tied on a swim air and next time it jumped I tossed it at it and got a hit and it followed it back to the boat. I saw it real fast before it turned away, it was about 27 inches and I didn't get a positive ID but after looking at pictures I'm pretty sure it was a bonito. Kind of looked like a big mackerel with silver coloration.

Did he pull that monster out of the bay? I still have had no luck making squid. I'm still learning how to fish.

Gorgeous day for a good paddle, followed it up with a 6 mile trail run. I'm a little wrecked today
