If you do watch the Goonies, don't get too confused, because some of the filming was also done near Jenner, CA (my old fishing grounds on the Sonoma Coast, NorCal).

anyone fish indian beach?  what for?  All I ever see there are surfers...

You can usually find some protected area somewhere depending on which direction wind and swell are coming. I was at Indian beach last week with no surf while my friends were at Oceanside at the same moment with 3-6ft surf.

Ummm, Dude, you should have been able to predict that by looking at the predominant swell direction....  I'm just sayin....

dude I know, and I did. Had a friend driving the car that would not believe me and was sold on indian beach....so we looked at indian, & ended up driving down the coast "looking" for swell and waisting our play time...ended up paddling out of manzanita and touring around the caves just north of there.

It's up by Ecola.

It's not fished much but there are a lot of seastacks around there.

One thing to keep in mind at Indians is that it tends to focus swell so you can get your @$$ handed to you on the way in if you choose your day/approach wrong.  

And, kayak surfers are generally harassed by the board surfers because they don't have much control and don't seem to realize the danger they often put the surfers in.  In younger days we would make a game out of trying to do floaters or olies over yakers.

I have only surfed there...lots of surfers there, probably better spots for fishing.

OK, so cross out Indian Beach for the kayak for sure then.  No ollies over my head...

Aww dude...that's just kids in whitewater boats log rollin.....but typically, I would agree with you....just not me and my crew   I think if you are surfing boards or boats, and you understand surfer etiquette and are respectful, it's no biggie. Usually I/we take a different approach and return path than the board surfers do.

I wouldn't jump into the line up on your first try surfing though. Learn the rules of the road before you jump into a popular board spot.

Just had to post this pic of my buddy Dave at Oceanside pulling a floater........back to yak fishing.
