Thinking about going out this Sunday. Is there a preferred place to launch from? Whats the bait situation? Will be my first time there, so any input would be appreciated.

We usually launch from the USCG/Harbor Patrol beach. But, you need wheels for that launch. A lot of guys launch out on the peninsula at M St. and supposedly you don't need wheels for that spot. From either spot if you look South towards the entrance you'll see the bait barge. I don't know what they have right now or what they charge as I only use plastics.

Last Saturday they only had 10" mackerels that they said it was huge sardines... 2 scoops of them for $20.
Ended up using plastics while the macks swam in our tank.
