rockfish?

AR1 has some spots as deep as 120ft. I've only been to that area once and was trying for a T but didn't find one. You can find the long/lat locations is numerous places.

I live on base in Oceanside and i tried AR2 last weekend and not even a bite. The reefs are pretty far spread out and they seem to just be very little rockpiles randomly placed.

This winter the reefs got hit kind of heavy by the party boats, first time I've ever seen them fish the reefs, so they may be a little depleted. I'm in the mood for some O'side fishing though and got some intel on some other possible locations, up for some scouting? Can't promise success, but it will be a new area to try out. It is about a three mile trek though.

Always down for an adventure. 3 miles is better than 4

Launching in Cbad can either be really easy or totally suck. I've been on both ends of that stick and the latter, especially in winter is not fun. It's close to us North County guys but it's not the fishery that LJ is.

Where exactly do you launch from?

All over C-bad. Ponto, Tammy, State Beach by the campgrounds, Power plant. Hey if you time it right you should be ok but like the other guys have said, it can get pretty unpredictable.
