Ventura area hooping? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

You can try ARCO island (man made island with the pier) off SEA CLIFF.
I have a book at home that gives all the info you are looking for. But can't remember the name of it. I will post it later for you.
Also hear that a few thrasher sharks have been spotted real close to shore. right were you want to go out.

Was wondering about that island (couldn't remember the name) as that seems like there's a bit of structure there.

Hooking into a T-shark would be fun but way above what I'd want to handle solo - the 20lb chinook I caught a few weeks back was interesting enough (tho that was mostly due to only having a trout sized net on me)

Thanks! Will see if I can find it online before I head out. Combined with that and looking for rocky/kelp areas here http://www.charts.noaa.gov/OnLineViewer/18725.shtml and hopefully a little local help from the tackle shop will hopefully get at least one legal bug!

Jeff also has another book that's full of info, I think its called the "Anglers Guide to Fishing Southern California".
A few other books to ponder..."Two to Twenty Fathoms" by Captain Mark Wisch, and another book by him, for those who like fishing Catalina, is "In the Gray". "Two to Twenty Fathoms" covers the PV to Newport area.
Captain Frank Grabbenstater's "Fishing Spot Locator" covers from Santa Barbara to the Mexican border His hand drawn images of the artificial reefs is unlike any other. Along with the drawings, he gives so much more info about each reef...
date built...depth...compass bearing from the nearest marina ...what material it was constructed of...and GPS numbers. It's my favorite book for the skiff and the yak.
