New from Texas

[texasalan]

How y'all doing guys. I'm moving to LA California at the end of the month...been kayak fishing in south Texas (south padre, port Mansfield) and the Galveston bay system. I have never fished in California so I'm a beginner. In south texas I usually fish in about 2 feet of water up to maybe 5 or 6 feet of water. I have a hobie outfitter...I can handle it out here alone so I'm hoping I can do the same out there....but it would help if I have an extra buddy in the front to paddle with. I usually just put my cooler strapped down to the front for weight distribution. I'm mostly interested in catching a halibut and a yellowtail, it seems like most people go down to La Jolla to fish right? I'm guessing that's where the best fishing is? I usually fish with plastics (gulps) under a popping cork or VUDU shrimp or Logic Lures tandem rig.....not too sure if I'm ever gonna use that stuff to go fishing in California. Any information and guidance is appreciated and I look forward to meeting some buddies that I can go out fishing with and learn something.

and yes if you are looking for yellowtail, La Jolla is where we all go for the best shot
Halibut?
we catch those up and down the coast... many here are very addicted to catching the flat kind
