Where are we launching from? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've done it 2x now and Like Bob says, its no biggie.

Trying to figure this out - I don't have a kayak (soon...) so I haven't gone through the motions to know.

At first I was thinking you drive and park with the kayak on the roof or ?? - take it down, grab your gear and take it the beach/water and launch. From reading the posts, it sounds as if the thing to do is drive your car/truck to the launch area (now under construction) take it off the roof, leave it there, then go park. Come back with your gear, set up, then launch. Not sure I'd want to leave my kayak there at the launch area unless someone I trusted was watching it. I see now the use of the wheels/cart -park, unload from the roof, load it up with gear, wheel it to the beach and launch.

since you don't have to worry about the contrusction problem that will be done soon its pretty easy
1. Drive onto beach and park close to water or another truck.
(someone will usually always be there, unless its windy and rainy)
2. Unload yak behind your truck
3. Rig it up
4. Park
5. Get wet and catch some feesh!

Everyone knows that there are no fish in La Jolla!

I proved that again yesderday. Fishing with Flatfish1, (Wayne), we caught tons of bait, mostly Spanish, but no keepers. All we had to show for our half day on the water was a few bass, (nice ones though), and a small barricuda.

Maybe next time.

Don't even have a yak yet, so no worries on any part - was just curios after reading and watching the cam a bit.
