I'm not. But, I can't afford the 100+ mile drive one way to La Jolla... and I'm getting tired of the paddle out from Mother's Beach around the point. I'd love to know where this is... I definately need to fish more local. Care to share?

PV, there are no easy ways to fish this area via kayak, so I do not worry about spilling any secrets. The fish you catch here will have been earned! Malaga Cove, quick paddle around to Rocky Point, free parking up above, no restrooms. Surf is usually small, sometimes .......not so small

My best day fishing in a long time. Didn't even bring any fish home.

Hooked up a couple short Halis, a few nice Calicos.

The best part was first thing in the morning, I get taken for a ride by a big ass T shark. I had 60 pound line on a 113. What a blast, he stayed low.

He finally decidedes to make a run straight at my kayak, I'm reeling my ass off....faster...faster....

The beast jumps out no more than 10 feet from my yak. Straight up in the air. My rapalla flies right at me, missed my head by a foot or so.

I got one glimpse of the creature, a conservative estimate of 4-5 foot body, 2 foot tail.

Made my day.

Can someone with experience describe how to subdue Mr.T? When I saw him out of the water I felt very unprepared.

No parking before 5am is another factor for Malaga.
