Ha ha! Kevin me too! I have no clue what hoops is! I'm located in San Diego. This is my first time fishing here. I've mostly caught Snapper, Redfish, and Trout out of my Kayak in Florida so far.

first off fishing wont be as good as pensacola, but you can usually catch rock fish (when in season March 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, less than 360 feet) if your looking for something good to eat. less crowded in deep waters.

I want to go Lobstering with Drake, wow what a haul, very nice.

Last year I got over 20 smalls and only two legals.

I want to go to your spot, wow.

Ill be heading to San Diego soon

Roadx and Porkchopcb what kayak should I get? still debating!

I fished the OBX in NC for a year and the east coast fishing is crazy different that here in SoCal. LJ is packed in the summer. Thats just how it is. If you are comfortable with surf launches you can ditch LJ and punch out about any where in the county or SoCal. I've launched about every where between south Imperial Beach to carring the yak down the trails in Laguna, and carting the long hell road to Salt Creek. The bays are fun at night and no surf surprises. If youre used to FL then the whole kelp bed experience is going to be strange for you. Places to avoid? The military BS all over SD Bay and know where the MLPA closed areas are. other than that go for it. Mike

Thanks for all of the info. I'll check the bays out next.

Ox, when you get here you can take my trident out anytime you want. I wish I would've brought the outback but I wanted something to use when I go to Mississippi.

I got another trident here the other one Acevedo had... couldn't resist fishing..

anyway I'm going to use it for a while till i figure out what I need.
Im leaning towards the pa12 at the moment I just hope my knee can handle it
I dont need any more surgeries.
