I would suggest stopping in at OEX on your first trip and talk with the fellows to get up to speed with the area and the specific needs of a pacific ocean kayaker.
San Diego county has nearly fifty miles of beaches. Many are great surfing spots therefore not so hot for the kayaker. On your first trips you might try Mission Bay, or San Diego Bay to meet and talk with other kayak fishermen in the area.
The line depends on what/where you fish.
There are some really good tournaments here, like the recent HOW tournament. It's a great place to come and meet the most active local fishermen, get area tips, and just have fun.
Just come on over and meet the guys, that's the best way.
