I often launch my kayak from the open ocean side. I like kayaking but I'm out there to fish not to paddle around. You might be able to catch a halibut or a small sand bass from the harbor side but you'll probably do better fishing the open side. I've pulled a few halbut drifts in there but no luck. I focus most my attention toward calico's so I havn't put much time in to that beach area. I've heard of people catching perch, corbina, yellowfin croaker, stripers, and halibut.There was a striper bite going on there about a month ago. You can catch corbina and yellowfin croaker on the harbor side too. Try stopping by or even just calling pauls bait in San Pedro. I think it's on Gaffy. They will be able to give you any information on shore fishing in that area.
