Here is my accompanying review. Copied from scsurffishing.com

Thursday morning I hit up a spot in Alamitos Bay at 5am with my friend Ben from BWE. Before we even launched he caught a sand bass, I think, right from shore hahaha.

Anyway, it was still dark when we launched, but the water was glass smooth with hardly a breeze. I had to leave by 8 to get to work, so was able to fish for about 3 hours. In the 3 hours there, I think I managed about 6 or 7 sand bass and spotties. It was great to fish on my yak BEFORE going to work, but the drawback is getting up in the 4AM hour, whoa.

I took a few pics as you can see below, but be sure to visit this link to see some video of our session. As usual, until I get my own camera, you will only see Ben catching, but it's really fun to watch!

Then there was THIS sign LOL. Who touches the jelly fish? and do some of you yakkers paddle too loudly? Really? My splash is extra loud!!!

we carried our yaks to the little beach next to the launch ramp on stadium marina launch ramp. i would not launch from there again in less they open the gate. people told us they would open the gate at 7 or 8am. I left at 1030 or 11am and the gate was still locked.

I've done a lot of evening session at LAB launching from the marina. It's much nicer parking your car inside. We should do that one of these days.
