Access in Newport? There is no such thing. This is going back 7 or 8 yrs ago. I went out early one after noon and hiked around behind all the big houses on the drive found a good spot to sit for the night thru out a chunk with 1 rod and started pluging with the other. After about a half hour a topless 80 somthing woman comes to the edge of the rocks and starts yelling at me that I was makink to much noise ( how can you hear a reel over the waves from more than 10 feet away? ) and that I was on private property. I tryed to explane to here about the mean high tide mark and when that did not work I asked her to put a top on and have her grand daughter come down topless to ask me to leave. cuss and cuss and cuss and she stomped away 10 min later she is standin there with her whole bathing suit on with 3 newport cops yelling that I was a peeping tom and was hiding in her yard trying to watch her sunbath. Off I go for a ride to the station. Fortunatly I had 2 good freinds ( only one now one retired and moved to FLA ) on the Newport force who talked the guys into loosing the paperwork forgetting my name and giving me a ride back to my truck. I went to a private spot behind a freinds house that night and cought my largest bass ever ( 43# ) so it all worked out. Lesson dont bother with the big houses in Newport you cant win!
