Hi Bob,

There was a phone number posted on the sign at the launch spot "dog beach" that said "for permits call"... when I called it I got a young kid on the line that said "oh if your just taking the kids out dont worry about it"... I do know you can buy a calendar year permit for around $50. Definately worth a recon mission since your so close.

Thanks Holy Makerel, I figured he needed his own handle as this is the first of many kayak trips for my little guy.

j mo, great pics. I've been talking to my daughter about going out, but she'll only do it in a bay. I'm in the Carlsbad area but never thought about fishing in this spot. did you guys launch at the Y?

I live in the condos on the middle lagoon. You only have to have a permit if you go in the back lagoon where the jet skies and boats go. There is an alternative launch on the middle lagoon, between the 5 fwy and rail tracks, on Harbor Drive. You have to walk down a path down a little hill, so bring your wheels.

Not too be a Debbie downer, but it looks like you guys went into the front lagoon next to PCH. That is a clam farm, white sea bass hatchery and where they draw water for the power plant. If caught in there you will get a hefty fine. The middle lagoon is awesome for the kids no wake and no jet skis. I have a 4 year old and an 18 month old and they have a blast. Inexpensive fun for the family.
