Kayak Adventure anyone in??? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Landing at Churches (the surf break on base) would be hard in anything but the smallest conditions. I surf there a lot and the beach to the left of the surf break can get pretty sketchy in terms of kayak landing. You'd be better off figuring out a way to do San O.

I have a truck with racks that will hold 4 kayaks. If we had a couple of other trucks, we could leave them at Sano and drive the kayaks back to dana point. I would be willing to give it a try. Need to find a weekend with small surf.

X2. Even on relatively small days the shore pound south of Churches can be thumpin. Sano would be a softer landing and shorter paddle.

Ok so with all the interest I can go fishing again on 10 March. This would be a test pretty much unless a lot can make this date and are will to give it a try. For the test I think if there are at least 3 willing to come out we can make it work. Perferable that one can transport 3 kayaks.

We would meet up at DP around 5 unload all kayaks and gear one will stay with gear the other two will go to San Onofre and stage one vehicle. Then come back to DP and launch fish to San O. Once back to San O if we have someone that can transport all 3 yaks back to DP we will do that otherwise. We will have to shuttle back and forth.

I might be interested in trying this. I just wonder how much fishing there would be in that time. Nine miles of coastline, all the different kelp and beach locations... It would be like trying to fish the southern tip of San Clemente Island from a kayak in one day. I might be late getting back in...

I agree this will definitely be a all day trip. I'm thinking it will be around 7 am launch and get down to San O around 4 or 5. I'm looking to to the test to also see if this is something that might need to be done more towards the summer with a later sunset time

seeing as i paddle and not peddle it would deff be a trip for me but hey im always up for an adventure Im down for the test. Just let me know when. I would just have the wife drop me off at Dana then have her come pick me up at San o wish i could carry more than one kayak.

That might be a good idea since the time will change up one hour and the sun sets after 8pm then. That gives us time to really fish some spots and take it easy on the way down.

I have a pickup and can carry two kayaks, I also have an Outback fully rigged up if anyone wants to use it for the trip.

I can't do the 10th, how about the 17th?

I would be down tonrent a trailer to help out carry 5 or 6 yaks

How about kings harbor to cabrillo beach and fish the better (and open) areas. I think its 12 miles. Cabrillo beach is usually a soft landing.

If the dates work I am good for either a steak bed truck or a 22' car trailer.
