Probably a rookie question here...but you say you see them breaching. What does that entail (pun intended)? A buddy is going to go with me and he has a gopro, so if there is a chance to get the taxman on film, we are all about it. Hope that footage goes well with all the fish we catch.

The launch at Dogpatch at the south end of the parking area is usually the best bet, especially when the surf is up a bit. The problem with Pendleton Beach is the shorebreak -- you'd really want to make sure the surf is flat before heading out there.

I went surffishing there on friday. I didn't catch anything as I was limited to a very small stretch of the beach. I had my dogs with me so I had to stay near the power plant. I fished in front of the power plant for an hour and was kicked off the beach. I guess the power plant workers and the attendant at the entrance of the beach have conflicting rules of fishing? Anyhow, I saw a few yakers that day launching from the surf... Off the rocks a couple of hundred yards north of the power plant. Seemed easy as pie, but maybe it was just a good deal. I'm not a local so I wouldn't know the typical conditions. Good luck!

You guys are crazy to paddle out & yak fish San'O with all them great white sharks swimming all around!
If you think there are only small white sharks there you are kidding yourself.
Nucking futs.
