I would recommend you go to King Harbor in Redondo Beach, rent a skiff from Rocky Point Tackle (near Portifino Hotel.) You'll have a blast with Bonito and Mackeral and ?. Fish near the bait barge. My favorite flies for King Harbor are deceivers and clousers size 2 to 2/0. Colors, blue / white, olive / white and brown / white. If there are barracuda in the area it's best to have some bite tippet with you. I use Tyger.

You can use lighter tackle, especially for the mackeral, but I usually use an 8wt with a 250 grain sink tip. The Bonita are strong fighters and occasional large bonita, white sea bass or yellowtail will really test your tackle.

If you want to fish the surf, small clouser or crazy charlie type flies. Orange with a lot of flash seems to be the most productive.

Let me know when your going to be there, I spend a lot of time there and maybe I can show you around.
