Perfect. So I'm assuming the 4-6' shore break I saw in front of the WW jetties last night is not normal, then? lol.
I usually stay at the Hilton Garden Inn right down Carlsbad Blvd (PCH) from there, so it would be super convenient. It looks like there are some little goat paths that lead down to the water... I've seen the kelp out there and I must say it looks very tempting in the morning light. nice to know there are some fish there, too. I'll just be throwing plastics since I won't have any room for gear of any kind - I'll probably be literally lying the rod on my lap as I paddle around.
Now, the next question is how to lay my hands on a rod/reel combo - anyone got anything for sale up near Carlsbad?
