First Trip to Kayak Point

I am heading up to Kayak point this weekend for the first time.  I am taking my kayak (of course  ) but i am not sure what kind of fishing to plan for.  According to the regulations I can target cut-throat trout (catch and Release) or Lings I believe.  Has anyone tried either of these and if so, what techniques and gear are you using?  I am particularly curious about Ling fishing as i have never tried it although i don't know if there are any rocky areas that are fishable near Kayak point. Are there any good spots?  I am assuming I can just troll with lighter gear for the cut-throat but again any tips would be greatly received.

Thanks

Can't say I know the area of Kayak Point or how to fish for Sea-run Cutthroat, but most folks here seem to vertically jig leadheads and soft plastics for lings. Other folks use live bait and there are plenty of other techniques but a grub tail of some-sort rigged on a couple ounce jighead is a very simple yet productive technique.

I'm certainly no expert by any stretch of the imagination and hopefully more skilled/knowledgeable people here will chime in re kayak point and Sea-run Cutthroats.

That would be a long paddle for lingcod around Kayak Point You can catch sea-runs trolling a night-crawler on the top of the water column, then drop the crawler down to the bottom for flounder 

then drop the crawler down to the bottom for flounder 

then rig the flounder for live bait for lings

I was at kayak point last night I was just messing around looking for flounders. And I was practicing my wave riding. I didn't get any bites I was fishing the 100 foot into 60 foot shelf. I would troll for C run cutthroat like everybody else was saying we used to troll half and half dick night.we used to carch nice fish in the 15 foot zone. It was a blast lots of action. And even juvenile kings in the 22 inch range. Awesome on teout rods

Trolling for C-Throats does sound like fun and i think i will give it a try.

thanks
