First time on the water

[momo fish]

I would suggest a few things that will be more important.

Practice launching at Leo which is near county line. Not sure what have you the idea to try that as first launch.

Practice casting sitting down in the park with a tennis ball or a torpedo sinker

Search the forum here as you will find everything already discussed a few times plus get to read some entertaining pissy matches about asking for squid locations etc

Btw not sure why you flipped but I would not recommend bringing a toddler and a puppy when you head out. Adds to much weigh and could be why you flipped. I could be wrong.

Welcome!

I use Surfline and Surf report for surf and tidal forcasts.

Thanks guys.

Yeah I would never take my daughter on the kayak when going btb or even fishing anywhere.

Anyway I knew I wasn't going to launch at cl but I was curious. As soon as I saw the surf, I didn't even get out of the car lol

You'll get the conventional casting thing down with practice. Doesn't hurt to take your spinning rig with you too, if that's what your comfortable with. Make sure you have the appropriate safety gear. Welcome to the site and have fun out there.

Yes being safe is my priority. Is there any sort of current that can take take you out faster than you can paddle in?
That's like my only concern, besides a great white lol
