Thanks guys. Kinda what I figured, just needed a little more umph to push me to go. I have access to the Pendleton beach, so no fees for me. I see a place where the waves aren't quite as big as the rest on most days and figured that would be the place to try.

I was kind of planning some drifting inside the kelp for some flatties then hit inside of the kelp and work my way to the outside. Somewhere in there, I should find a fish to keep me busy.

I remember the video of whitey from last year. Makes me want to find a gopro for those "special occasions".

Great halibut fishing just outside the surf line, and even in close in 2 - 5 ft of water. The barn kelp is about 1.5 miles from the launch, and San Mateo ke;p is about 2. Couple other artificial reefs constructed by SDG and E in the area.
That would be SanO Kelp is about 1.5, Old Man. Heh. Barn kelp is about 6+ and better accessed from Trail 6 w/ wheels. Pendleton arti reefs about 4 from Old Man's (Just S of the checkpoint), Box Canyon ~5.

I have been down there a few times in the past 2 years. Lots of Leopard sharks and a few Butts. I launch at the south end of the day use area where the surf is smaller. There can be 4 or more breaks in the surf zone, but you can paddle parallel to the shore after the first one or two and slowly work outside without having to breach the others. You can make bait pretty easily in front of the domes where the water from the intake and exhaust is swirling at the surface most days. If you want to fish the shallows you need to pick the days when the surfers are staying home.
