Someone reported catching 2 of them inside the harbor from their slip yesterday. Would say if that's true there is a good chance they could be around the kelp outside. How far of a paddle are we talking with the closest launch?

Where is Babys Beach located? Is it the little stretch of beach on the opposite side of the jetty from Dana's wharf?

carbon: it's bout 1.3mile paddle. should take bout 1/2hr.

sam: baby's beach is located 2 parking lots before the
Marine Institute, on the left. The baby's beach parking lot
is adjacent to a small patch of public beach. This area is
where the tall ships are.

If the wind picks up blowing offshore and gets to be a pain,instead of a straight line to the harbormouth I tuck in tight as I can to the longwall as a windbreak it helps.You may see Mr T there too.Good Luck.

No surf launch from Dohney from what I have heard. I've always launch at baby beach, free parking, restrooms and showers!
