fishing the bays for spotties and sand bass is much the same as freshwater bass fishing. You can use your bass gear. Plastics, spinners, and cut squid along with live chovies work well. Going out to the kelp beds or beyond. Will have to up grade to bigger rods and reels , line ect. You might want to go out to La Jolla the first time without any gear and just play in the surf with your yak to get a feel for the surf. You will wipe out at sometime. When you finally take your gear with you. Make sure you have it all leashed or secured so as not to lose it. Like others said, a lot of info to be had with a little searching.
