I second the Casa launch idea, I too have been kicking that around in my
head for months as they finalize the discussion. I have launched a few
times from Casa Beach stairs area. By law, you are not allowed to launch
a "floating device" between this spot, and LJ Shores. Your mileage may
vary depending on time of day.
I have been spending summer weekend days playing with my kids at
Shores, and often am amazed at the size of the windswell at the Shores
"sheltered" launch - when Big Rock channel (Palomar St.) is serving up
ankle slappers on the sets.
Shorter swell periods, aka windswells fill into the shores better than the LJ
reefs areas.
So, I think you are correct sir, however finding live bait consistently can
be an issue over here.
Launching at Big Rock Saturday.
