Brian,

Cachuma Lake level is way low, they are able to launch boats there, like you said from the secondary ramp. I watched a couple of boats being launched and it didn't look to bad. The guy at the boat rental said the lake will be going down further too! Too bad. We had the best luck straight across from the marina then down towards the dam on the same side. As for the surf, I have not been out yet, I did read that post in here about perch fishing north of Morro Bay Rock, sounded promising. Seems to me it was around this time last year when it started picking up around Oceano. The next day I can fish is the 30th, so I will flip a coin between Surf fishing Oceano and kickboating Naci.

Have a great Holiday!
Bryan
