I haven't heard anything about it? but I would love to go fishing in La Jolla area, I'm just not sure about the whole beach launching with my PA14. Lol

If what he just reported is true you won't have to worry about the launch, there will be a bunch of yakkers to help you out.

Ya it turned on in the afternoon, although making bait was a real chore. Bait was all over the place, but still Took me 4 hours to get 5 Mack's, which usually takes all of 15min. And surf at the launch was 2ft max yesterday.

My advise, Wait for a lull in the set waves. As soon as you get the kayak where you can sit on it without it sinking to the sand jump on the kayak in the general area if the seat and PADDLE your ass off. Get comfortable after you're past the surf.

No hesitation is allowed in the surf launch. Any hesitation will get you stuck in the surf zone between sets.

Good Luck!

What? I was planning on having one of the guys with a mirage drive tow me out.

j/k. I appreciate the advice and well wishes. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? I was so excited to go last weekend, but between the crappy weather and home life it didn't happen.

That is funny, since the guys with the mirage drive are going to be having a harder time than you, getting out of the surf zone. Once they are out then they can use their drive to pedal and travel a little faster, but the drive is not good coming in or going through the waves because it's too shalow.

I wouldn't know, obviously. I was assuming people dropped it in at about waist deep water, then hopped on and took off. Thanks for the info.

That's exactly what I do.
