Its a very rare event (mother of all el ninos) that brings YFT or dorado in to kayak range off So Cal. Sammons hooked a marlin off Scripps pier along time ago. That same day a buddy and I caught 3 dodos from a skiff off Marine street in 120' of water. If you want to target tuna or dodos from your kayak you're going to have to get to mexco. But there are a bunch of great sports fish to target from the kayak around here. Ggiannig89's list of Yellowtail, White seabass, thresher shark, ling cod, calico bass, halibut is a good start. Add to that all the rock fish, white fish, sculpin, sheaphead, bonito, and baracuda. Just in south sd bay I've caught sand and spotted bass, spotfin and yellowfin croaker, corvina, bonefish, bonito, leopard and smooth hound sharks, and bat rays up 50 or so lbs. Plenty to pull on.
If you just got your kayak you might want to start with easier trips to the bays then inshore. You'll get the feel for your kayak and start to see what you will need. The gear you have should be fine toget you started.
