Why Oceanside? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

When I lived in north county I used to fish O-side now and then. That area is real hit and miss. If they have chovies in the reciever the halibut fishing in the harbor can be pretty good. I used get the permit to fish on the marine corp side and always did better there. Once you leave the harbor it's a ways to any structure or kelp. The ARs, Buc Beach Pipe, down to the Army/Navy academy kelp, or north off Pendleton. I have caught plenty of bass and a few YT in all those locations but there were also plenty of long paddle for nothing. MIke
