How far is the paddle from Dana Harbor to Salt Creek? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

That's not too bad at all, how about the kelp is it really thick? If i fish the Calico's at night would I have to paddle instead of use my Mirage Drives?

That is wrong.
It ia 3/4 a mile from the launch ramp to the end of the jetty. 2.5 to the whistler and 3.7 to the ritz. Add another half mile roughly from Baby beach.

How about launching Beach Launching from Salt Creek?

Access is a bitch and it is a real surf beach not a protected launch like the shores.

There is beach access at Monarch via the Montage but parking isnt easy and the hill is big.

Anyone been fishing out there lately? Any dope regarding bait/squid in the area?

3.7 from the launch, the kelp is very thick. There are channels through the kelp but you would never see them at night. Not condusive to the mirage drive but you could retract that and paddle.
