Howdy, Experienced kayak fisherman new to CAli and looking for fishing buds and safe launches - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Howdy Team,
Thanks for welcoming me to the site. I'm new to California, based out of LA but with a wanderlust that'll take me to where the salty fish are. I am experienced in offshore from back home in Texas where we targeted kings, lings and snappers 3-7miles out, but am totally new to this West Coast style. Got a decent handle on tackle and technique, but I am interested in linking up with good people and safe (from hoodlums and neck breaking surf) launches. I am not looking for your secret fishing spot and respect the game. Please let me know if I may accompany any of yall on your next outing. I'll be launching from La Jolla this Monday and Tuesday morning and would be glad to meet any one at any time.
Thanks!

Salsa,

Welcome to BWE and the West. I'm not familiar with any LA areas. I'm in San Diego and primarily fish LJ or the big bay. Good luck in LJ this coming week.

Welcome Salsa. I'm based in LA (Agoura Hills) and kinda new at all this, but the LA area has calico bass on the breakwalls and kelp beds (total blast!), bonito, YT some years, occasional WSB & stripers, etc., rockfish.

Honestly though, from my vantage point LJ is the bees knees. Wouldn't be surprised if you fished there a couple times and decide to move there!

Welcome to the west coast and BWE. Conditions look good for Monday at LJ. I will provably be out there. Good luck , it's not that hard to spot the areas, because you don't have to go out too far to find deeper water in LJ.
