This is a great forum to learn all you want to know, but as the other gentleman said, your question is very broad. Most questions have been answered at one point or another. I have been yakking for 1.5 years, and have spent many hours reading posts on BWE. There is everything from how to surf launch/land, knot preference, bait....you name it. Whenever you have free time, search thru here and you can probably learn things that you would not even think to ask. Good luck and tight lines!

fishing the bays for spotties and sand bass is much the same as freshwater bass fishing. You can use your bass gear. Plastics, spinners, and cut squid along with live chovies work well. Going out to the kelp beds or beyond. Will have to up grade to bigger rods and reels , line ect. You might want to go out to La Jolla the first time without any gear and just play in the surf with your yak to get a feel for the surf. You will wipe out at sometime. When you finally take your gear with you. Make sure you have it all leashed or secured so as not to lose it. Like others said, a lot of info to be had with a little searching.
