You're supposed to have a permit.
It does not matter one bit where you launch from. Now with that said, when I fish the lagoon I do NOT use a permit. I am not telling anyone that they should break the law that is CLEARLY written on signs at every access. The DFW wardens could care less if you have a permit. The Carlsbad police DO care and will ticket you for not having one.
If you choose to purhase a permit you can at the shop that rents the jet skis for i think $13 for the day.
Here is the deal....... The Carlsbad police do not patrol the lagoon in the winter time (now).
They DO patrol the lagoon on a police boat in the summer months. When they are patrolling they will come right up to you and ask for your permit and ticket you if you don't have one.
If you are going to fish without the permit DO NOT launch from where the jet ski rental place is (snug harbor). That's just asking for a problem. Launch from the northeast end off of the beach at the end of the cul-de-sac.

Have fun!
