launching at carlsbad - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

batty1of3 · 11-10-2011, 01:32 PM

I've been living in Escondido for a while now and have not had any chance to get back down to la jolla for yaking
i've heard that launching from Carlsbad an option for some kelp near the power plant

i was just wondering where would be the best place to launch at carlsbad ? one guy i was talking to suggested carrying the yak over the north jetties and launching from between them

the break next to the northparking lot looked like it dropped pretty hard an would be a rough landing any suggestions ?

thanks in advance

Tamarack usually pounds there..Dont land there..depending on swell direction, usually north of the power plant jetties is ok. or in between the teramar reef and the jetties is ok..
thanks in advance

I get king prime parking every time..dont ask me how, but I think it has something to do with it not being the most desired spot to "lay out". but it does just so happen to be the best place to launch around there, and park so you don't have to haul stuff. grab parking right by the outlet of the power plant. even more proof, is I have NEVER owned a cart or wheels. so I am within draggin' distance always, but it would help..
