i live in santa barbara. right near the harbor, too. but i'm not knowledgeable about ocean fishing... yet. but now that i have a small boat, i have plenty of boatless freinds who know about fishing who are willing to teach me.

been fishing the kelp pads right outside the santa barbara harbor, for kelp bass. today, i caught at giant kelpfish though. seems not much is known about them. i can hardly find a citation more than a few sentences when googling.

Yellow tail when they are running.
I have fished near Los Angeles a few times and caught white sea bass and sandbass, People catch halibut and bonito too.
Good luck :)

Bonito are fun to catch (a cousin of the Tuna), they run with the Bluefish here on the east coast, they're a Blast on light tackle, except, your arm's will feel like "Spaghetti" after nailin about 10 of 'em in 4 minutes, when they're going "NUTS" in a"Blitz".
