Nobody hits San Onofre? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I used to dive there all the time when I lived in SC with no issues from Mr tax man. Im actually shocked considering when shore diving you're bleeding the fish in the water with you and dragging it back in (yes I know I'm dumb). Still will dive there when the vis is worth the drive from Carlsbad, but the lure of LJ is to great most days.

Be careful with the San O break, as the area where you can launch kayaks most times has a double break. There's an inner reef with weaker waves, but the out break is what you need to be concerned with. Lastly, if possible try timing the launch/landing with high tide. It is not fun getting the kayak over the rocks that are exposed at low tide, especially after a very long haul (like the one out to box canyon...)
