New"ish" Guy Looking for a few answers / suggestions ! Thank You!!!

Hi all,

So I am fairly new to San Diego I moved here July of 2013, but then ended up in Michigan for 8 months. So I am fairly new to fishing in SoCal. I fish in LJ and all over Mission and SD Bays. I still haven't landed a YT from the kayak but I have managed to catch some nice spotties, and Halibut in the bays. I am looking to expand my fishing locations and I had a few questions.

I hear places like Cabrillo and the Sewer, and San Onofre but I am not sure where they are?
Is Cabrillo the National Monument at the end of Point Loma in SD? Do they have a launch there?

how about The Sewer ? is this Mission Bay ?

I am Guessing that San Onofre is the state park south of the power plant? Where do I launch there? Beach ?

Where can I find a place to fish for Rockfish ( i know they are closed currently) ?

Any good books magazine articles I can read to hone my skills?

Anyway, I am looking expand my fishing areas/ and expertise and I thought this would be a great place to come for answers or even some helpful suggestions. I greatly appreciate any help!!!

Cheers, Bernie

Pretty sure that the both places are near LA. Two different cabriollo's and mission bay is not the sewer I believe. I do know san O is aka the power plant people fish there so there must be a launch somewhere around there.

Since you are near LJ, I would just stick there. You save on gas and its a great fishery. Even I can catch from time to time there. Just take some time snd dial it in. Once I was set on catching a yellow, I told myself no fishing the bays until I get a yellow on the yak.

99% of all useful so cal kayak fishing info can be found here. Just search the old threads and you will find almost anything you need to know. The problem with other books/magazines is that much of the info is very general. Here you will find info specific to our waters. Like cadillyak said, stick to la jolla and sd/mission bays. We fish cabrillo/"the sewer" up here in LA mostly because it's close. Much of the time we're driving south to fish your home waters. Welcome to BWE. If your new to this like me, you're in the right place.

What he said! We go down there to fish La Jolla. No point to drive up here unless you're visiting someone I guess. I bet you're glad to NOT be in Michigan right now, unless you like ice fishing walleye more! I'm from Ohio myself, welcome to SoCal!

Cabrillo (the sewer, and a long story) is in San Pedro Harbor. San O(nofre) is at the power plant. You park at the state beach for $15 and drive all the way to the end of the parking lot (along with all other paddle craft). Not a good place to launch without someone that knows the place as it is over a shallow reef. Check out Google Earth for rockfish spots. Any bumps on the bottom in over 100' are good places to start.
