New to Southern California - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The tuna and mahi might be a little tough from a kayak. Mahi would be more realistic and I've heard of them being caught within 5 miles from shore. The water really needs to warm up for that to happen. We are supposedly getting a record El Niño coming in this year, and with all these west winds we have been seeing, I don't doubt it. Scientists say 2015 will be the hottest year on record. The fishing back in 97-98 when we had our last El Niño, was epic. But I was boat fishing back then. I've hooked a thresher in 40 feet of water. Those would be the dominant species would be seeing before the mahi and before the tuna.

Now hamachi is another ball game. And I will let someone who could school me on yellowtail chime in now. Because I know there are plenty of you guys on this site.
