Third, there are yellowtail and WSB at Catalina, even on the front side, I'm sure they will find some. Fourth, I'd much prefer fishing in an area that's relatively calm then fighting the wind and waves in a kayak, or even the boat. I've seen what SCI can be like when it's windy, not fun. And last but not least, it's fun to catch fish regardless of the species.

Agree. Fishing is a risk for all parties involved and nobody can control the weather. Catalina may not have the volume of Clemente, but It still holds some quality fish. Better to go there than forfeit a deposit. Too bad the ferry system does not allow transporting kayaks.
