StocktonDon - CA freshwater freediving & spearfishing?

[dwwestesq]

I am re-entering diving and will begin by freediving freshwater near my home in Stockton, primarily from a fishing kayak (Hobie Adventure). Later when skills, confidence, and conditioning warrant I will hit the saltwater. I plan to spearfish and harvest abalone and spiny lobster. From time to time I am in the Los Angeles area and intend to fish and dive in that area as well.

I am looking for ideas for places to freshwater freedive and, if it is legal, spearfish. Suggestions?

Thanks.
