Hey there dh tubinaaron,
Oh ya, you need to go to Cabrillo. You might want to go during the weekday as the parking is avaliable just outside the parking lot area otherwise parking in the lot is 7 bucks a day from April to September. Park two cars bring in one. October to March is free on the weekdays only. Two or three of ya go and split the cost if you don't have the cash to spend.
Take the 110 south till the end then merge with Gaffey, go down a little bit toward the ocean and make a left. The next big street should be Pacific (parallel to Gaffey) and here you need to turn right onto it towards the ocean. Go down quite a ways until you see a big steep hill. Just before the hill is 22nd St. which is where you will turn left. Follow 22nd St. around until you see the Park's entrance.
Go to the very end of the parking lot out by the pier complex. The bait barges are within easy flipping distance and if you talk nice you will get live bait from the barge for all day cheap.
When the wind starts to pick up around 11am filp back to shore like heck! Otherwise you might have to join the Navy. ha ha Avoid the big sportboats busy times when getting bait and give them a wide berth. Don't block the baitbarges business or you'll never get jack from them and you'll ruin it for other tubers.
Expect WSB, barracuda, halibut, and you guys' favorite.... tom cod.?! he he he
