Hey I'm pretty new myself and looking to fish when I can. I'm in north Redondo. I've only launched at Cabrillo once. Let me know.

the breakwall is like a 1.5 - 2 mile paddle from 72nd street i believe. and that part of it (south end) provides good calico, cabezon, rockfish, and GREAT sculpin fishing as long as you are on the OUTSIDE of the wall. i've gone there dozens of times and noticed that the bite almost always shuts off at 9am. which gives you a small fishing window.

calicos, sculpin, cabezon... fish real tight to kelp. along the kelp edge, and even SIT ON TOP OF THE KELP (my kayak has bumped the rocks a few times because i fish so damn close to the kelp).

if you are a bit hesitant... use a dropper loop with 2oz weight, and fish approx 25ft from the wall. this is where the rocks end. lots of sculpin and some rockfish hang out on that rock edge. just keep bouncing a dropper loop into the holes and you'll nail some sculpies. you will also lose a few rigs by getting stuck to the rocks.

fishing at night could be WFO. but paddling that far at night is ill advised.

Around late march, early april the halibut just start beginning to spawn just right off the beach at 72nd place jetty. Just get some smelt or troll some plastics around there for some large halibut. I would love to join you in early april.
