I used to fish the North County areas when I lived up there. There's loads of near shore kelp and hard bottom from Carlsbad all the way to Solona beach that can hold fish. I've had great boiler rock bassin' around SeaSide and table tops. Fun fishing but you have to keep your head on a swivle to watch for waves. I've launched out of Moonlight beach and caught a few YT out side of Swami's. There are few/no places up there that will be as calm as LJ Shores unless the swell is way down. Another issue in the summer on those N. Co. beaches is crouds. I've launched super early at Solona Beach, Moonlight, and Buccaneer when I had the place to my self. Hours later when I was coming back in the place was packed with hundreds of swimmers and the life guards were out in force. They waved me off and even came out to talk to me on a wave runner. I ended up having to land way the hell down the beach, walk back to where I left my wheels, walk back to the yak, and then mule the yak back to my car. You gotta do what you gotta do but that was a drag pulling the yak hundreds of yards down the beach dodging all the kids, vals, tourists, and zonies. You're also going to have to deal with sufers up there. Most are super cool and a lot of them are anglers. Fishing tight to the line up at Swami's, Cardiff Reef, or Seaside can put very close to them. Just some things to keep in mind. Mike
