Hey there.

I went to that same area on my first outing last year days after getting my kayak.

Some nice kelp around there. Hoping to get out there early in weeks to come aiming for WSB.

Swimbaits are fun, but I think you will have more luck with either frozen squid on circle hook dropper loop, or live bait caught with a sabiki. Catching the bait can be hard depending on how thick the smelt are (though I have heard a smaller smelt is not bad halibut bait.

I might be poking around there Sunday, maybe targeting halibut outside kelp line... I had some really close encounters with whales last summer. This year I have the go pro in case they rock my kayak again heh.

Are you in Ventura? If so, we should get some people together and go

Always down to go, but a dui is preventing it from happening as often as I would like. Send me a pm when you are planning on heading out and ill see what I can do, otherwise for those of you with room to spare, I got gas money and beer

I'm also new to kayak fishing, been fishing the surf and pretty much every other body of water forever. I'm interested in heading out wherever and whenever with somebody if you're interested, just let me know. I have a Wilderness Tarpon 130T I bought off Craigslist for $300 so it's no speed-racer but it's stable and I'm fit enough to get it moving pretty well, I shouldn't be much of a bother to tag along, if at all.
