rock fish near nph?

[carbonbass]

If i wer to paddle out the harbor mouth can someone guide me in the right direction to look for rockfish? Would I have better luck going right towards hb or left towards cdm honestly I just would like a little advice to make it easier searching for them. Also how is it possible that some people use light tackle on a 2oz jig? I see noodles rods and spinning reels on YouTube jigging for them wouldn't the rod not be able to support a lure that heavy? Thanks Cbass
