LJ this afternoon - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

A few noob questions.

Where to launch? I was thinking shell beach or boomers beach...

Im fishing with penn jig master 500L and 7' ugly tiger with a 500yds 65lb spectra base(not cheap!) My second rod is a 6'6" and spinning with 20lb spectra.
My question is about fluoro. I bought 30 yards of 30lb seaguar. How much fluoro should I tie on the spectra? The kayak fisherman I bought it from said not to use fluoro in the kelp beds.

I'm going to try and catch my own bait. I have a sabiki, 3 once weight, and some frozen sardines for chum. Where should I go to catch bait? Can I paddle out to the kelp and try for bait where I see signs of life?

So far ive picked up a blue and chrome tady 45, 2 oz anchovie laser minnow, and a 4 oz green/black dot/shiny silver laser minnow. With all the rod and limited tackle I have, how can I use this to catch fish. I'very been getting skunked a lot lately.

Thanks
