Heading there first thing in the am. Any tips for launching and parking. Where is the bait receiver? Price for kayak scoop?

10 bucks to park at the boat launch ramp. No additional charge for launching. Bait receiver is left of the harbor mouth as you're heading out. You can't miss it. No idea on the cost as I don't buy bait, but $20/scoop?

Thanks

You can also park and launch for free at baby beach. It's at the very back of the harbor, but it's a small harbor so the extra paddling is more than worth the $10 savings IMO.

How was the fishing? Have not fished DP in some time and overdue.

Almost a year ago I paid 25.00 for 1/2 scoop.

Not including tip.

Ended up not making down there. Stayed in LA County. Turned out ok as we got some yt, hooked onto a shark, and released a good sized black sea bass.
