Fishermans cove today at 7:30ish

lots of beat up squid looking to hide out under the yak from the mackerel attack. Slow fishing other than the relentless mackerel. Killer conditions, fished until 2:00

Good eyes David. Hard to miss a landwhale sighting.

Personally, I agree with Yani-the easiest way is to paddle from Doho or Dana harbor in the AM. I make the trip about 3x/month and it takes about 45-50 min going and a little less to return.
Further north the Montage in s. Laguna has public parking and a cement ramp that goes down to a semi-protected cove. A little easier and more launchable than Salt Creek.

I had stuff with my mortgage modification come up so i didn't get down to the beach till almost four. I packed the kayak and all my equipment and set it up on the beach and looking at the sunset beneath storm clouds and the wind picking up I packed it all back up the hill and down to Dana Point.

Conditions outside the bay were pretty gnarly and no moon at all, couldn't make any bait for the hoops so I went back in and practiced casting for a few hours around the boats because I'm still new to fishing. Let's just say I need a lot of work.

Fold up your kayak and gear and take the funicular....

Seriously, I don't know anyone that did the round trip walk, with a kayak, down to Salt Creek twice. Before kayak fishing, I used to do it carrying surf fishing gear and that was bad enough.

Do the paddle/peddle from DP harbor and don't be a GIRLY-MAN
