I used to love this show:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5119992/
You could always stay closer to shore and fly fish the surf. Barred Perch, Corbina, etc. Me and lowyder993 went fishing in Ventura.
Double check the fish and game laws so you don't get ticketed. Down here we had a moratorium on rock fish and cod.
