Seal Beach Platform Esther advice/tips needed - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

First you have to stay away from the platform at least 300 ft so you cannot fish the pilings or structure near Esther. The current can run either uphill or downhill. Boaters ALWAYS look out for them. As for fish sandbass and halibut can be found from the beach out to the drop off to 45 ft.

I fished the platforms years ago and i always got sucked in and broke off, I had better luck drifting the bottom by the platforms on the shaddy side. Depenting on current the oil islands can produce and are a lot closer.
