So, with the striper bite slowing down (but not stopping) the halibut have stepped in to fill the gap again (I'm looking at you, salmon). Two were landed and a striper was lost by one of the surf fishermen today. Another halibut was caught from shore yesterday, as well as a large striper. Halibut also came from Hog, the bar, McClure's, the Keyholes, and Ten Mile, so basically if there's sand there you've got a shot. There were a couple of salmon caught today by a gentleman who declined to mention his location, only that he almost ran out of bait shaking short lingcod to get his salmon. Sounds like he was bouncing rocks.

Is it safe to launch a kayak from there?

Just like anywhere, it depends on the weather. Currently, yes, as the ocean is like a big pond. When the swell is up and the wind is blowing hard, no. We have quite a few kayakers and SUPs launching from here safely. Just check the marine weather forecast before coming out and don't be afraid to pull the plug on your trip if things start to feel hinkey.
