LJ 8/19 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've only managed to get out to la Jolla 4 times in a year and am still unfamiliar
with the area. I'm familiar with the condo and the kelp bed closest to shore (right off the boomers break). I also know where the pier and the boundaries of the reserve are. I am however at a loss as to where the NW corner, the horseshoe kelp, best couple places to make bait (besides the pier), and what is meant by "outside" (how far off the edge of the kelp "outside" really is). It seems a lot of fish are caught "outside" but I have no reference as far as bottom structure, depth, or relationship to shore landmarks. How far, what direction, how deep, and how long it should take to get to a point given an even, brisk paddle (in my case a pedal since I have the hobie outback)? Thanks in advance for the advice.
