Finally got a kayak rack setup for my car and finally got my first kayak last Sunday, a cobra explorer!!

There are 2 harbors I've been fishing many times with skiff and shore, Newport and Dana, i knew Dana point pretty well, since is small. But still not sure where i should launch my kayak in Newport, any suggestion? because there are many private areas in Newport harbor, got kicked out many times...

Also i will try to practice my skill only in harbors now, after a while, see if anyone interest go outside of the harbor with me

Wish one day i can catch a yellowtail on my kayak in La Jolla kelp...

welcome bro! launch the yak at newport, just exit 55 and keep going straight pass balboa pier, keeping going till u see it spilt in half, keep left and keep going until u see a wooden pier on ur left. that is where u launch your yak, parking is free, just watch out for street cleaning.
good luck
