Whoa there, 3-5 miles is quite a ways out. I would recommend going out of the local bays and get a feel of the limitations of you and your kayak. Once you have feel good with your yak go out of Dana Point or Newport and head out to open water.

As mentioned earlier catching Tuna and Dodo off a yak is not the norm.
