Hi there jedburton,
I'll try to help where I can. I, myself am pretty cautious about giving out phone numbers and you might want to edit your post just to be on the safe side. Even a site with good guys like us have 'not so nice lurkers'. I've got your number and will pass it along to my partner TubeN2 if you erase your number.
For sensitive information you can always PM (private message) me or TubeN2 here on this site.
TubeN2 has gone out on some recent trips so I imagine he'll be along before too long.
Back to business,
I'm with you, I like variety too. Shallow water rock fishing here in so cal will give you a chance to catch 20 different species but they down deeper (200 feet or more).
When you say variety, may I assume you mean major sportfish like barracuda, yellowtail, Calico Bass, White Sea Bass, Halibut?
Have you fished on an open-party boat? and if so, what species have you caught. Open party boats 3/4 day (6AM to 4-7PM) usually cost about $45 per person and the rental rod around $7-$10. 6 pak charters (6 people) often cost $150-$200 per person and UP.
We have landings in Santa Monica (SM Bay), Redondo Beach (SM Bay), and further south in San Pedro, Long Beach, Newport, and Dana Point around my neck of the woods.
If you don't mind posting, I'd like to archive our exchanges so that others may benefit from the scenaro of a visitior needing saltwater fishing info.
Regards,
JapanRon
