Thanks for the info, wish us luck. Tired of DP? No sir, just expanding the experience. I am looking to go down to LJ more this year too. DP will always be 'home', but my horizons will grow.

Hey papa, depends what your aiming for if you want some calicos and maybe a halibut stay in the bay., if you want some rock fish/vermillions go north as far as you can while towing a rapala or weighted mackeral and drift back in the 190/210 depth about a mile out . Always maintain that mackerel free line or with a little bit of weight just incase those t's come by.good luck

see ya out there some day.

If it is a nice day get bait and head out gf harbor and go left to the kelp or just fish around the bait barge or anywhere in harbor by Coast Guard station .

I live about 20 minutes from Newport so I fish there alot. It you are looking for TSharks just head straight out of the harbor past the marker in about 100 feet of water and troll south parallel to the shore. There is good spottie fishing near the moored boats in the habor. If you head south of the harbor you will find boiler rocks and kelp. I have caught calicos and halibut there. I would go with you but my wife and I have our grandkids this Saturday. I might fish there on Monday.
