Yeah, seems funny now. I do laugh at it. Kinda

But it was far from humorous when the urchin-huggers were loading up misinformed kids by the busload to the meetings to get good fishing areas closed. They DID call fish sea-kittens and ocean-puppies. I kid you not.

Rant over, just please be careful as to where you drop a line. There are nebulous lines for the closures and all you need is someone whose speedos are in a wad for some reason to call DFW on you because they can't figure out the actual closure line and they do not want you in the view from their deck over the sand.

I did not know about the closure spots, frickin hippies lol. I looked it up and it looks like we are good at Leo. Thanks man!

And on the "deep hole" fishing spot I have heard a lot about it. It was actually called "depot" as it was crap from a train depot that was along the shore. They tore it out and dumped the concrete and junk in the water. I have not fished it yet but would like to. I have an Elite 7ti fish finder with GPS so if anyone wants to try for it I am game. Would really like to go with someone who has been there.

If you're trying for deep hole you'll probably want to launch at County Line.
The problem we were having with Deep hole earlier in the year is that every weekend one or two of the 1/2 or 3/4 day sport boats were coming in and cleaning it completely out.

I haven't had very good luck launching out of Leo, but if you launch from County there are tons of different structure points in anywhere from 80 to 180 feet of water that hold rockfish and Lings.

Good luck and tight lines!

Just wanted to pipe in and say how much I appreciate all of the shared info! This is extremely helpful, and i'm really glad to see so many people are fishing here. Thanks again. This gives me a ton to think about.

LA/Ventura county line. On the pch, across from Neptune's Nest. Big surfing spot. And fishing.

Cronus, very easy to get to the water at County, but I've never braved launching there.

Curious to see if you guys ever got out there together?

I’m a bit further south (Long Beach area), but not afraid to make a drive every now and then. Weekends are my current availability until next spring. I’m not familiar with the area, so I wouldn’t be much help other than helping to carry and being another able body on the water.

have not checked it out yet. Can one person get to the water easily? this is for the county line comment.
