    Florence jetty

    we were in newport on the jetty last night and this morning. Caught 1 cabezone that was too small and another one today (not a keeper either). We did get on to the crab though as the tide was coming in. We were able to keep 2 on our fishing gear and had near a dozen on the line. I brought...
