Here's what the mouth looks like on an ideal day.
As the OP hinted at, only spearfishing of WSB is allowed by boat/kayak. Not really my thing

Thanks for the reply. I did realize that the SMCA had unique rules. For the amount of time on the water, A spear diver has a much bigger impact on the environment than a recreational fisherman -- bummer kayak anglers got excluded. As a kid I would fish the PV area by shore with mussle as bait, for opaleye, Perch, Calicos and Cabazon. One time harvested a 5lb Calico in a foamy tide pool of only 3ft depth. We would find rocks with holes in them to use as sinkers.
