New to the board

[Surf Hunter]

Hey all-
New to this board but a member of Nor-Cal Kayak Anglers.
the wife and I are going to be planning a trip to San Diego in August. We are thinking of staying a week and fishing both La Jolla and Mission Bay during the week days.
I have been reading any article I could find and hope to glean some info from you guys and gals.

Do you think it would be advantageous to hire a guide for one day to do La Jolla or should we just research adn make the run?

We will be bringing our two X-13 kayaks, all our gear etc. Just need to find a cheap hotel (should be easy in that area) and we are set.

Fair warning, please be on the lookout for stoopid rookie questions as we have never fished So-Cal on the kayaks and want to make the most of our trip.

Now, gotta start looking for bait tanks. Ug.
