Shell beach is not so good and Boomers is called that for a reason. Try the LJ Shores boat launch. Your out fits sound fine. I use 3-4 feet of fluoro leader, usualy 40lb and 40 isn't over kill. You get a big YT or WSB burried in the bull kelp and you'll be glad for the heavier line. Look for bait along the kelp edges. There were big schools of dines and both green and brow macks breazing and popping all over yesterday. But it's not always that easy. Greenies are best but dines, browns and eve smelt do get bit. I like those big deans but I find they don't live very well in a small kayak bait tank. As for your irons, you can bouce them along the bottom but this time of year I would cast them in to any fish I see working on the surface. Mike
