Am thinking of launching from Dana Landing, out the channel, up PB, to fish the south LJ kelp beds.

Anyone tried doing that before and how was it?

I imagine you gotta time the tides to get out the channel with the outgoing tide, and back in with the incoming. How is the trek compared to launching from Ave de la playa?

When I fish at Crystal Pier, I sometimes see kayaks coming from the bay to the pier. It didn't look very far from the pier to the kelp or from pier to channel. How doable is that?

I would guess this is at least a 3 hour paddle. Its going to take you 30 minutes just to get out of the bay from dana landing
