PST is a great place to kayak fish. You're right about the cold water fishing aspect. I would expect a lot of lingcod, rockcod, etc., though they definitely have some WSB and Yellows there. Launching is pretty easy most of the time since the cove is mostly protected and there is a launch ramp. Technically you do have to register your kayak for fishing in Mexico, but it's only around $30 for the year. Go to Discover Baja and they'll hook you up. Here is a good synopsis of PST and some pics from one of my trips:

Paddle straight out to the edge of the kelp for lings and vermillions....Roca Soledad is a about a mile or so out for big vermillion and I've seen yellowtail there but never hooked up. Also in the bay around the old tuna hoops is good for WSB and halibut closer to shore....beautiful place but prone to wind.
If you're not camping, I recommend the cliff side duplex cottage that sleeps 4 on one side and 2 on the other w/a kitchen, hot showers and a front patio and fire pit w/ a beautiful view of the bay for $37./nite....although Sam is probably booked up by this time.
Good luck and good fishing.
