There can be some excellent fishing in the San O area. The only flinch I have is the surf launch at Old Mans. There are really only a couple hands full of days that are doable for me, and I'm one that surf launches on every trip. Basically when the surfers are complaining about how bad the surf is, then it is a good day to go to San O, and still there are some sneaker sets that can surprise you. especialy on the way in.

Great halibut fishing just outside the surf line, and even in close in 2 - 5 ft of water. The barn kelp is about 1.5 miles from the launch, and San Mateo ke;p is about 2. Couple other artificial reefs constructed by SDG and E in the area.

Gotta keep and eye out for the taxman. Seems to be a nursury in that area. I have an encounter almost every trip there. Either a drive by or a breach. Only 6 - 8 footers but no question greate whites.

Good luck
