Thanks for the tip. Although a bit apprehensive, I have to bite the bullet sooner or later and head out. Hopefully, I may meet somebody on the way out, stay a respectful distance unless invited, but within audio range in case of trouble. I do carry some safety equipment i.e. flares, whistle or canned air horn.

Look for the signs on the surface. It will be hard without a fishfinder.
Bait barge will sell you kayak scoop - I think it was $10.
You'll be more likely to find bait in the actual kelp once you turn the corner.
Be aware of the strong tidal movements - on multiple occasions, people found themselves calling for help when paddling into the outgoing tide in San Diego Bay . |
