Swamis / Pipes / Beacons will be easy pickens for you and your boy, but make sure you choose a day when the surf is tiny as launching from n county takes a little more planning.... ffice

Root beer scampi’s will work great and white shad produces as well and in summer you'll want a croc to play with the barricuda; or you can talk to Jake at Blue Water Tackle and he'll help you spend your money on give you advise on colors etc.

Set yourself up w spectra if your fishing near the kelp and you'll be able to pull just about anything through it, as it will cut the kelp unlike mono.

Bait making is a breeze, set your son up w a sabiki and you will catch greenbacks w pretty much no effort, especially on inside of the Cardiff kelp. If fishing the kelp w live bait troll along the backside. Be advised there are big lurking underneath that kelp.

Read up on halibut rigs too, some very good fishing all along the campgrounds. Best spot imo is the where the reef and ell grass ends just north of pipes. structure meets sand, a natural setting for the ambush. you can drift in from 35' to 6' and you’re bound to get picked off....
