Not sure what parking is like over there these days. It also has the benefit of being able to launch any time of day. The USCG parking lot doesn't open until 6am, and they will cite you if you're too early.

Good luck out there, hopefully you find 'em.

Thank you. I have a 14 ft and no wheels so maybe I should go get some tonight lol

I recommend launching off the peninsula on G, H, I, or J Street.

There will be parking (even in summer), it is a very tiny wall to get your kayak over, and the drag through the sand is minimal. I much prefer it to the slog at the USCG.

Thank you gents. I will let you know when I go again. Went out about two miles from corona Del Mar and did not see much. From what I hear I over shot the rockfish by about a mile lol.
