Hi KarlKrger,

I thought that area was off limits to parking ? Before tickets were being written. No no-parking signs ? Wouldn't be too hard to launch a tube with the right stretch of rock/shelf.

Free Parking right on the water. That spot is actually a nice place to hang out. I have friends that launch Yaks there. It can get crowded on nice weekends. Take the 710 all the way past the Queen Mary then stay to the right (don't go over the bridge) take Harbor Scenic (right) under the bridge. The outhouses are all gangsta graffiti and not really suitable for ladies.

The afternoon breeze blows from PV offshore at that spot. The fishing kinda sucks unless you hook a Thresher or WSB. The rest of the time is YFC and Lizards, Macs.

Thought about balloon fishing there cause the wind would blow it away from the rocks.
Good spot on blown out windy days for casting.

Beach launching in the surf could spell disaster.

yeah ..place is ok to fish to start out. was better back in the good ole days before the rig companies bought out the properties.. bubbles and feathers worked all day . but still a decent spot where u can literally tailgate party pr fish curbside and fish away all day without any $$ fees.... cant think too many any other so cal spots where u can do this!!! as for actual boat launch its 1/2 mile up behind hotels near 710 entrance $12 computerized gate entry

[karlkrger]

ya that is very true.... its a cool free place ot fish but there are a lot of rocks and you will get stuck a lot. unless you get real lucky. might be going back there this weekend to get some shad so i can do some surf fishing. either that or hit a pier

A wierd man once said" alot of people like to climb mountains, I build stuff out of tooth picks."
