Heading out Thursday, best target species?

[Caslo]

Hey y'all, long time kayak fisherman, moved down here from norcal to be closer to family, and looking to hop in the yak on Thursday since the surf report seems favorable and conditions will be good.

I was going to go out for rockfish, however the new regs pretty much mean rockfishing is off limits for those of us on kayaks for a little while .

I am thinking I'll probably hit up the La Jolla kelp beds, but I'm unsure which species would be best to target this time of year if rockfish are off limits.

Any suggestions for kelp beds in october with rockfish take not being allowed?

Cheers!

P.S. There's some structure off of San Diegueto beach about a mile offshore. I was originally going to jig for rockfish there on Thursday. Has anyone here tried a surf launch from that dog beach?
