I am going fishing in Newport Harbor (California) on a kayak. Is this a good idea? What kind of bait/lures are the best? I will be fishing for sand bass and maybe halibut

If you’re going to fish the harbor you want to fish the opening. You want to figure out where the currents are. You’re looking for a blind spot where bait fish will be swept right by a place that a predator, in your case bass or halibut would hide. That’s where you want to present a bait or lure that looks like the kind of bait that will be in the water. This time of year I believe you’ll have mackerel in the area. Mackerel are a cannibalistic fish so I think if you fish with a small cast master or crocodile shiny type lure you might have pretty good luck. I would fish deep though, and try to lure those predators off the bottom and into the current to catch what they think will be an easy meal.
