Great job on the Sculpin. They are one of the best for making ceviche. I usually clip the spines on their back to avoid any unnecessary pain when they come on board. Thanks for sharing and I agree with the rest. Google up some knots, get some extra weights and hooks and you will be well on your way. Good Luck

Well done Kat. SD Bay is a great fishery. There are plenty of websites that have excellent tutorials on way too many knots. Many have animated instructions that make following along easy. And like any thing else, practice makes perfect. I have learned maybe 20 knots over the years but but only use 4. Improved clinch, perfection loop, dropper loop, and back to back uni.
In your photos it looks like your sculpin still have thier spines intact. If you have a safe, secure place to store them thats ok, but if they are loose in your kayak it's a good habit to trim the spins. All the hard forward dorsal spines, anal spines and the pelvic fins are the ones that carry venom. Mike

The surf is forecasted at 2.5 to 3ft. Less is more when going out the first time. Any questions you need help with please post.
