Welcome ! Here we go again. Im knoobed out !

One of the best places I know is to launch out of Monterey. Put yourself on a heading of about 50 degrees , paddle about one mile and look for the BIG RED X in the water. Fish right there, that's the best place.

Welcome!  The best place that catches the biggest fish is the one that you fish on  :-)   Get out there, that's the most important.

The biggest fish? Año Nuevo Island in the fall. The preferred bait is a 12-foot kayak fished topwater style.

The glory hole is found by rolling it in flour and putting your rod in the wet spot.

Or......

Just wheel your kayak to the curb and kelp clip onto a large clump of weeds. Make sure you do this so that you don't float off in case your neighbor is washing his car.

The rest is explained in this how to video.
