New, and have a few questions...

[DanaPT]

I think saw you and your fishing partner on the water around and near the harbor mouth about 3 weeks ago. Is your tandem blue and white (cloud patterned like?).

You ask about gear, I'm certainly no expert but after a year of fishing DP on my kayak I've learned a few things.
1) You've joined the right board for intel, tips & motivation
2) The big fish are in La Jolla.
3) Dana has SOME fish to catch: From sharks, halibut, barracuda, calico, etc. (and that's just in the harbor!)

Best to be specific, target the type of fish you want to catch and bring the "right gear". I enjoy fishing the Headland's kelp, you never know what you may catch out there watch the posts! (that's why I've migrated to kelp cutting outfits, #50+ braid with short top-shot/leader.)

I like to bring and handful of 3-5 inch Hammer swim baits with 1/2 to 1 1/2 lead heads (some sauce is always nice). Keep casting, dropping, bouncing, until you catch them. Some days are better than others, but I like brown, red, and orange color patterns first.
