Per the coordinates given here: http://www.socaloceanfishing.com/hp_kelp.html , you're looking at about an 8.5-9 mile pedal each way.

I'm in Vista. Cant go this weekend but i'm interested in finding fish up here as well.... It is a lot harder than La Jolla. I could probably give you a tow to the kelp with my solo skiff.

You're going to need a fishfinder. The kelp pretty much disappeared last year, and while it's slowly coming back, it's almost all too short to reach the surface. Plus, even at its best it's patchy and widely spread out. You'll be frustrated.
For what it's worth, I think it's a shorter paddle from San Onofre, but then it's an upwind slog back up the line if the westerly kicks in. |

Im planning on going to the barn kelp on my 13' boston whaler saturday morning i'll keep an eye out for you.
In my opinion that would make for a very long day in a PA-14, almost not worth it. The artificial reefs outside the harbor are always holding fish but you have to be right on top of them. If you have a handheld GPS you can get the coordinates off the fish & game website. Or wait until Oct 2nd commercial lobster season and you can go fish the bouys. I have a quest 13 and can paddle circles around PA-14's, and I wouldn't attempt to go all the way to the barn kelp but that's just me...but conditions do look pretty good this weekend. Good luck! |

Check our the artificial reefs to the north of the jetty. Lots of good fish. Need to go with someone who has a fishfinder though.
If I didn’t have a cold going, I’d show you around. Next time Last edited by YakDout; 08-16-2019 at 05:45 PM. |
