which one? the northern reefs are far. not impossible but pretty far for rockfish that aren't in season and alot of short calico's. the lobster boueys mark the piles and most of the bass are suspended about 20ft down the last time i was there.

this is the view from one of the closer piles

do you track on GPS or you just go out. I'm going to attempt to go out this coming saturday if it doesn't' rain.

just headed north west out of the harbor. go straight to the red bouey then head north west and there are usually boats out there. you'll come across some lobster pots about 1/4 mile from the big red bouey and you'll be about 1/3 of the way there. its about an hours paddle with a small headwind and only took me 20mins to get back.

here's another zoomed in pic so you can kinda tell the land scape from where i was at.

welcome to bigwateredge. What is your experience out into the Ocean and what type of kayak do you own?
