newport bay crabbing and fishing?

[steelhooked]

ok i plan on going to newport saturday to do some crabbing,but throwing around the idea of jigging for some sea bass or lings while crabbing during the day. is it worth my time to try it or not considering it is day time? i have a 16ft drift boat with a 6hp kicker. if you have some tips or general area to fish and would like to share it would be appreciated. i've done it at night before but not during the day so i have no idea about the chances of catching fish during the day. would really catch some lings or have a chance. thanks

Hey Monty
I have caught some fish during the day over there but not like at night. If you do go try to time a low tide and take some sandshrimp, you should be able to pump some in Waldport. I have caught some nice greenling and a flounder the last time over. As far as ling go it is hit and miss. It is a lot better in the early spring for the ling in close since they spawn then. Just my 2 cents worth.
