Report from Pierfishing.com:
Got to Newport Harbor around 5:45am this morning and rented a deluxe skiff. First stop was the PCH bridge... Lots of mullet (that's what my friend thought they were) jumping out of the water, but no bites as my friend threw out krocs for bonito and I dropped sardines for halibut, bass, etc. Ended up with just a small ray. Decided to try the jetty area near the bait barge...
* 2 halibut
* 1 barred sand bass (13" kept)
* 3 walleye surfperch (6", 7", 8" kept)
* 1 barracuda
* 5 mackerel
Good variety to keep things interesting, but still no bonito.
13 in. barred sand bass
