My advice: Follow Whiz Bang's lead. Maybe not his financial advice, but take advantage of the safest launch on the West Coast...with ridiculous fishing a mile from shore.
I love the bay, too..when it's windy or raining. Watch the weather closely and stop by the La Jolla launch if you're not too familiar with it. There's even a camera to save a trip. It's just like the bay, but with
GIANT fish. You can even fish for Bass if you want it to seem more like the bay...just sayin'
