I bear bad news!
I was out all last night with 3 friends on a boat and we were armed with with many... many... new lures... of which I lost half of them. The past two times I have gone there have been at least 10 other boats very close by jigging squid. Last night there were only 2. The hold-over Bass from up in the Bay have taken up residence in the Newport area and put a dent in the squid populations. There was only one gas lantern at the causeway that we could see and it was not there for long. There were VERY localized schools still around.
I think Newport is just about over. I hope some other people have better luck.
