Feel Like Giving Up - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Time on the water, you will get there.

It took me two years on the water before I caught my first yellowtail.

Boy was it worth it as catching a big game fish on a kayak out in the open ocean is one of the biggest rushes you can get in life.

BWE is mostly a San Diego based kayak fishing forum. You'll get some OC and LA guys here and there. Ventura county folks are few and far between. I would look into

https://centralcoastkayakfishing.com/

Even if you don't get connected with folks up there the launch spots for rockfish are accessible with a PA and the rate of success is higher than some of the spots you mentioned.

Then once you build your confidence up you can try your local waters again.

Hard part is I think most of the action on this board is much further south - LA County to San Diego county. There used to be a board that had more action in the Malibu and ventura areas.

Stay active here, but you may also want to look at Central Coast Kayak Fishing for potential meet ups.
