Thoughts on fishing Carlsbad kelp tomorrow

[MrPatrick]

I've never fished in my own backyard! I've lived in Carlsbad to 15 years and yak fished for 6, and have never fished local. I'd like to give it a shot in the morning. The surf is small by the power plant and it looks very tempting.
If anyone wants to go out or can lend some advice it would be welcome. I'm thinking that halibut may be a target species as well as calico or sand bass.
The surf is so small you could hang out and cast into the surf zone.
Good luck if you're going out Friday.
