It’s been 3 months since I last went fishing at Newport Beach! The last time I was here it was in late May and there were no kelps and it was a great time for lure fishermen. However, during this time in the summer there are a lot of kelps which makes it much harder – you need to be extra careful when retrieving. This means a much less number of times in casting, which also means less chance of catching fishes! The reason for this is when you retrieve your lure all the way near your feet; it gets caught up in the kelp. And if it gets caught in a hectic manner, you need to stop retrieving and wait for the lure to float up on its own. Then you should be able to pull it up, but this creates loss in time. Last year, I remember getting my lures caught in the kelps a lot!! LOL

Anyhow, on this day the breeze transitioned to strong winds, so I stopped fishing along the jetty and changed location to a spot I’ve never been before! At this spot, there is usually a lot of people bait fishing and it’s also known to be a popular area. Winds don’t come by this area and it is a really good fishing spot, but it may be a bit of a small environment for lure fishing but I might as well give it a try. I didn’t have to worry about getting caught in the kelps here, but I had to worry about getting my line caught up with others next to me. People there were very interested in the lures I was using, so I introduced the FM to them and then decided to end my fishing after. I obviously didn’t get to catch any that day, but I did get to do a little bit of advertising. I will definitely like to continue to market the Lucky Craft soft lures!
