Charting new territory on the yak

[Amish Ed]

Lots of possible responses, but here's a few that come to mind.

#1 Laguna doesn't have a lot of deeper water structure. And, its hard to find. You're better off sticking in tight and working either the boilers or the slightly deeper stuff that's easier to find.

#2 make sure you have enough weight to get to the bottom quick enough. 150' and I'd be using at least 1oz. Not enough weight and by the time you hit bottom you'll have way too much line out. Then you won't be able to feel your bait, let alone be able to set the hook.

#3 Head south after launching and paddle past Main Beach. There's some boilers out in deeper water that should have some fish this time of year.
