Fished outside the kelp for a bit, nada. Fished inside the kelp for a bit for one small ling and lots of rakers but no takers. I even used a stinger for naught. They were teasing me. Headed back to the docks but by the time I hit the harbor at about 4:45 the wind died and the water was smooth again. I love it when it is like that so I headed to the beach for a small sandie and a couple of nice strikes of unknown origin. Wind came back up but was in the opposite direction and was rather cool, so I headed in. Back at the dock about 7pm. Way to go ctrujillo, good hunting! Were that you fishing the beach as I went in to the beach?

That may have been me you saw fishing inside at Doheny. Forgot my headlamp so I headed back in at sunset.

I also paddled over to salt creek on sat for a short hali, 2 sandies, a sculpin, a small 12-15lb bsb, and 2 weird looking shrimp/lobster things (did some research and i think they are called mantis shrimp, very odd). Man that's quite a paddle! Also had tail bitten off my swimbait by what i presume was a hali. Not quite worth it for the paddle since i decided to go ALL the way to the point north of salt creek, but I'd go back if there were some better conditions.
I mainly fished the outside edge of the kelp. Maybe next time I'll try the inside. Noticed 2 kayakers sitting to the north of the headlands/strands beach area. Next time I'll stop and say hi. |

So you were as far north as monarch beach? It's a friggen long paddle there, especially if the wind and current is going against you. Do try the capo beach area and the inside 9-20 ft of water. It's a quick launch (from palisades & beach rd). |

Ya I've been meaning to try that area but waiting for the water to warm a bit and the halibut move in shallower. It seems pretty similar to the area north of the pier which i fish quite a bit. Is this the case or is there more reef structure? |
