rockfish? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've launched there only once. It was a very small surf day. I launched north of the plant, north of the plants jetties. Caught calico, sandbass and assorted rockfish on my modified drop shot rig I use for kelp and rocky areas.
12 lb leader tied in a Palomar with a 18" tag end. Tie on a wide gap worm hook in the palomar knot. A snap swivel to the end of the tag end. A heavy rubber band to the snap and a torpedo sinker to the rubber band. If the sinker wedges in the rocks the band snaps and the rest of the rig comes free.
