Crystal Cove - Recommendations - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

We have a campsite in Crystal Cove in early January, and I wanted to do some fishing. What should I fish for? Anyone familiar with this area at this time of the year?

I used to fish there all the time. Launching from the beach down below the camp sites might get tricky normally just shore pound and big old hill to wheel up/down.... but can probably make it work. Otherwise just drive 10 mins north to newport harbor and launch @ coast guard station or kids beach.

Lots of good kelp N of crystal cove between there and newport harbor mouth. Deeper spots off pelican point produced for me in the past. have fun man

Maybe have someone drop you at the launch and paddle/fish your way back.

When the surf gets good elevator Point gets Ripping but can only sustain a small crowd. Most of the time tiny.

Using a paddle, it'll take about an hour to get from Kid's Beach to CC.
