but you can check local conditions at Laguna Sea Sports They post a dive report every morning from Shaws cove which is the next cove over from Cresent Bay. The Corbina and Perch "should" be very close to shore in from 3-6 feet of water. The larger Corbina "should" be at the south side of the cove at the very end. The entire beach is sandy bottom so the Halibut can be anywhere. There is reef on either side for the cove with some nice views.

If there is ANY swell be careful when you are up near the shore, Cresent Bay has some of the best shore break around and is one of my favorite places to bodyboard. Even getting caught off guard by as small one can toss you on your head.

Hope this helps! enjoy and be safe

PS what kind of Pole SPear did you pick up? I have a JBL travel spear and I just picked up a GAT-KU 8' pole spear that I have yet to use.
haha thats funny you ask, i too got the JBL travel spear.. i didnt realize the one i ordered didnt come with a paralyzer tip though.. just a rocktip i think.. should be fine for today though.. and i can always find a paralyzer to fit it right? i kept searching their site to get the specifics but i think all their poles are 6mm threads right? cause i would like to get different tips.

i was also looking at the gat-ku spears for the future.. and possibly his paralyzer tip (the blue flared one) instead of a regular one. not sure yet.
