The Newport Pier does not pick up a south swell. It is usually very small all summer.

as i posted in the other thread, for those that are trying this week, i got some today on the freelance. They weren't actually on the surface by the time we got to the area, instead they were about 10-30 feet off the bottom, drop/let the jig sink all the way down if you don't see any on top

especially if you meter a suspended bait ball in the area.

WIND was horrible yesterday! I did launch I saw a ton of bait, and tons of birds but chasing them yesterday proved too much for me. A Sea gull took my magic swimmer and I had to unhook him, which was cool the bird pecked once then was chill while I took the hook out and he just hung out next to me on the water for a while, I wish I had a fish to give him. ha ha

I did notice some huge marks on the bottom always right around a huge chunk of bait. But I wasn't getting any bites on plastic, crocodile, or jigs.
