That was at Linda Mar beach in Pacifica from a kickboat, a long row away from the beach. But I only chose that beach because I wanted striper. It's a very unprotected spot, with big waves and fairly bad rock codding. Bean Hollow is the popular spot for kayak fishing (if the frequent shark-on-kayaker attacks don't bother you). NorCalKayakFishing.com usually is a good place to read reports and stuff.
