Chris, Thank you for the advice! I'm thinking about heading out there this Sunday!

This might give you an idea of where you want to try:

The regular launch point is from the end of Avenida De La Playa. Parking is a little to the north of a public park with green lawn you will see.

Go through the restricted zone and try a sabiki for bait between "The Cove" and "The Bump" along the edge of the kelp. Also take yoyo irons or megabaits, and squid with you.

Then pick up a depth contour you like or follow the the kelp beds down toward the NW Corner. That's all good territory and you will find your orientation to the kelp beds.

Don't forget to check the wind, surf and current reports.

Is there a buoy line marking the end of the reserve? Or easy landmarks so you know you aren't fishing in the wrong area?

Line up the 2 shacks with thatched roofs with the flag pole behind them up on the hill. The 2 shacks are right by the cove.

There is a line of buoys. You can also use Navionics Boating app for plotting your route and waypoints. Chartplotter on a FF?
