I've never fished big sur, but I've fished Cambria (which is south of there) and spots around there. I always used my kayak and got big lings, but I saw some guy fishing from shore. I didn't see any of hit catches, but my friend who went in before me said he caught some lings and assorted rockfish.

I'm sure anywhere would be good that gets deep fast. The only difficulty would be beach access. Those cliffs make it tough.

Get really familiar with the MLPA areas first and foremost. Once you know where you'll be fishing if it's from rocks bring a heavy bass rod and some 5"+ swimbaits w/weedless jigheads. I'd think it would be wise to scale down to a smaller sized swimbait/grub if rockfish is your agenda. My wife kills it on squid strips for rockfish from shore.

This. They're a great community. That said there aren't a ton of mlpa's in big sur area proper. Start heading up north and you'll run in to pt lobos etc.
