Anyone fish near 17 mile drive in Monterey?

Planning to take the wifey a trip down there this weekend and planning to just park off some shore / rocky areas to throw my line out.  Anyone have any recommendations of fishing spots here?  Or any info of where is it ILLEGAL to fish please let me know as well.  Im a bit confused by some of the maps of where you're allowed to fish/not fish so this would be helpful.

I also found this link below which seems to show you can fish along the coast of Asilomar Reserve area but the area is marked in Red in the DFG site, so unsure if I can or cannot fish here: http://wiki.recfin.org/index.php/Category:Recreational_Fishing_Sites_Monterey_214

Trust the DFG maps over third-party maps. You can’t fish anywhere in the Asilomar SMR. Once you’re past the boundary, you can fish along 17-Mile Drive provided there’s designated coastal access (read: a parking lot and beach). The entire 17-Mile Drive area (once you’re through the checkpoint) is owned by the Pebble Beach Company, and they can be real pieces of sh*t when it comes to coastal access (I’m not bitter about it at all...  ). They have their own rangers and they’ll ticket you in a heartbeat if you’re trying to find secluded access down the hillsides (since they’re the property owner landward of MHW, you’re technically trespassing on their property even if you’re not trespassing on a private residential lot). You can fish from Fan Shell Beach and maybe a few other places once you get out of the Asilomar SMR, but IMO shore fishing along 17-Mile is more trouble than it’s worth. Better to enjoy the drive and then head south to Carmel or north to Monterey to put a line in.

Thank you so much for this! better to be safe than sorry.

I live right next to 17 mi drive. THIS INTERACTIVE MAP is currently accurate for our area as to where you can fish or not. I'd say take a nice drive down to Garappata so your wife can enjoy hiking while you fish (if she's into it... the trails are super flat and beautiful there). Just about any turn out in that area has access to rock fishing. Otherwise, I'd stray away from 17mi drive (Pebble Beach) and hit up the areas in Pacific Grove or better chance for better fish at Southern Carmel.

Thank you so much!  Any recommendations in South Carmel?  Looking at the maps there seems to be some nice cliffs south of the Main carmel-by-the-beach area where there is a neighborhood.  Also im assuming the areas marked blue for conservation areas in your map is ok to fish?
