We just got back from Disneyland. We book Jakes locker out of Newport Beach. 2 of my friends have gone and they liked it. After going I have learned that this is not the time to fish the ocean if your expecting to catch "bigger fish." All the fish caught in the boat were 16" or under which was a shocker for me. We launched out of newport and actually fished directly out from Hunnington beach. The crew wasn't the best. They have a fish count on their website every day but I'm not sure where they get their #'s from because they had no clue of what people were catching on the boat that I was on. To their credit, they did say this was their "down time" of the year so I was taking it that we wasn't fishing their good spots or probably even the regular guides or captains. If I was to do it over again I would fish off the pier like you said. Hunnington should have a peir, just take a rod and some 1-2 oz weight and buy some bait there. That's what I would do if I go back.
