Right Jim, like I said in another post....all BS aside, County is one dangerous place to go fishing sometimes. If you are a newbie reading about the fish being caught in Malibu....and think you can do it... I'd seriously ask you to reconsider. I would say, get some surf launching experience, self rescue, and a marine radio and know how to use it.
Even experienced kayakers can get into trouble out there....
Oh yeah not to mention the Great Whites that cruise that area.....
