Great advice, but I'm pretty sure there aren't any lobster buoys out there

google earth is your friend and your limited to you peddle or paddle abilities.

on catching bait:
1) bait barge. Bring $15 for bait and tip (the new standard)
2) take a sibiki rig. I seem to have good luck around the kelp (where ever it can be found). Smother with hot sauce, uni-butter or tip w. squid. Old trick? take a can of cat food. Pop a couple of holes on each side secure it to a rope and toss it over the side. Wait for bait to come to you.

Good luck out there, I'll probably see you around!

Thanks for posting that info on where to go, and also those bait tips sound good.

I think I'm going to spend some time perfecting my bait catching and probably fish alot around Doheny before I venture further out. It sounds like the headlands may be within my reach pretty soon. The same goes for closer reaches of the Pipe if it starts near the river (drainage) mouth.

I'm kind of worried about heading down to Salt Creek due to possible wind picking up and ending up getting stuck down there somewhere because of a long upwind battle.

Hope to meet some of you out there sometime.
