there are plenty of landings lining our coast. somewhere close would be long beach sport fishing, 22nd street landing, peirpoint, marina del ray, L.A. Harbor sportfishing, and ummmm... oh ya those crappy boats like the city of long beach. dont worry about those. all of the landings above have very good half day boats. they fish locally. either the huntington flats, horseshoe kelp, or newport, and anything in between. they WILL put you on the fish.
Tackle: to tell you the truth, you could use a heavy freshwater rod and reel. that would work just fine. well, unless you hook up into something big. you should bring a rod rated for 15-30 pound line, between 7 and 9 feet long. I would use 20 pound test if you are just starting your saltwater addiction.and have a reel to match the rod. whether it be spinning or conventional, it really doesnt matter. I have seen people catch BIG white seabass and BIG yellowtail on spinning equipment. a suitable reel would be a newell 220 or 229, Daiwa SL20, ummmm..... I dont know any of the shakespeare reels or spinning reels. a penn 955 965 or a 975, a penn 500 would also work good. oh, and a penn spinfisher. those are great reels.
I prefer the longer rods. it helps me cast further. however, with a shorter rod, you have more leverage on a big fish. so you have to make that decision.
The half day ticket will cost you between 25-32 bucks, depending on which landing you go to. bait is included, but food is not!
I hope I answered your question. sorry for everything being mixed up. I just woke up and am still in the process of jumpstarting my brain.
