I like the areas from the pedestrian bridge south. Lots of scattered stuff from all the way inside to like 40'. There's stuff deeper too, just not as easy to find.

That looks about right. . .
Head south. I seem to use the outer harbor wall as the "side-line" and the coast as the other side-line.
As you head south past the San Juan Creek, and the camping spots, and you'll see the hotels, and then a foot bridge. This is all the Doheny State Park area. This area has sandy/weedy spots, kelp stringers and rock structure. Take care to look at swells/surf report. There is an outer reef that can produce a wave. I suppose a rogue wave could cause problems if you aren't paying attention and caught inside. have fun. |

You can always drop $10 at the bait barge.
I've not tried to make bait in this area, but there is patchy kelp bed south of the red bouie. good luck, show us some good pics of the adventure. |

Dana was beautiful. Got a super late start, headed out with CheapPelican (Chris) and got there at 430pm. Wind was way up, prob up to 15 mph. Plan was to find the reefs. Found a a few but was too difficult to stay over them with the wind. Caught a healthy calico on a BH in a redish color to break in my new Okuma Serrano reel. Battled the wind back. Didn't get to fish much but am excited to come back when wind is down! Sweet spot for sure, gotta check it out if you haven't yet.
