Newport River

[BCC]

Thanks to you guys for the kind words on the Meet/Greet forum today, I'm the Newbie. You have been good luck already. Right after I registered, the in-laws out at MHC called and invited us out for the weekend. Their place is on the Newport River and I think I'll haul the jon boat along to explore in the immediate area. Don't want to get too involved with the boat traffic.
Any suggestions for fishing in there or by the ICW? Species, rigs, lures or locations. Thanks. They also have a nice dock so can fish there as well.
