Quarantine Fishing Special: Float Tubing Newport Harbor

Today we launched our float tubes in Newport Harbor to do some spottie fishing. We mainly focused on throwing tailspins and had a pretty successful trip with close to 20 bass and some unusual bycatch. Thanks for watching!
We started fishing around the boat moorings in the middle of the channel as the tide was coming in. We had some success around the boats, including one specific boat that was stacked with spotties, and kicked out 5 fish and over 10 bites. Once the tide moved in, we transitioned into the docks where the bite was a little slower, but we were still picking off fish. The hot bait today were small tailspins, with grubs and Warblades getting bites as well. We caught a total of 15 spotties, 3 halibut, sand bass, and a small bat ray.
Bait/Rigs:
➤Shimano curado 200e7; Shimano Clarus 6'6 Medium heavy, fast action
➤Shimano curado 200e7; Cousins GMB702PT, 7' Medium, Fast action

Hey, where are you at in the harbor because I do the same thing as you guys but I don’t know the right spots🤔

[@ericschwenck8426]

what part of Newport harbor were you fishing?

[@bricehata9908]

Sebastian, is it legal to float tube Newport Backbay area just past Jamboree Bridge toward estuaries?

[@GetBentSportfishing]

anywhere past the pch bridge into the back bay you can't fish from a boat/tube/kayak, only from shore

[@williamsong75]

great video..justed bought a tube to go out but dont know where to launch legally during this covid 19 closure.can you tell me where you can launch near newport plse??

[@jesselopez894]

I know you can launch at the NAC, Balboa marina, and under the pch bridge

[@rimshotdc]

I'll never go float tubing in the ocean again.. some years back some friends of mine were out tubing the harbor.. I guess with his feet dangling down from his float tube, looking up the shark must have thought it was lunch time... It's bad enough to have a running with a shark on a kayak but float tubing ❓❓❓❓

[@GetBentSportfishing]

ET oh damn, yeah that’s definitely scary. Not sure if he saw what it was, but personally I’d be a lot more worried about an over-curious sea lion in the harbor

[@cramos6638]

Have you ever tried using weed less flukes in the bay ?

[@GetBentSportfishing]

yeah they work well texas rigged with a little weight

[@vincentunzueta5916]

Come back down to Dana

[@steveflorez4926]

Is it hard to control those tubes?

[@GetBentSportfishing]

it's actually pretty easy, i think they're definitely easier to control than a kayak

[@JoseRodriguez-fg9rt]

Can you eat those bass

[@supradav]

Can you eat those fishes?

[@GetBentSportfishing]

you can technically keep bass if they're over 14", but we don't usually like to eat fish out of the harbor
