San Elijo State Beach - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The beach is exposed, you will have to be the judge about launching. There is a channel in front of the restraunts just south of the campground (in front of the charthouse). It is usually best to launch and land through the channel. There are halibut and bass. I have caught short white sea bass there but never legal size. Rarely, there are yellowtail, I've only caught them there in summer. Halibut often lurk very close to the beach there so if the surf is small, you may do well on the inside. I haven't been out there for a while and don't know how it has been. Lots of reef and kelp to explore. Good luck!
