Paul I'm pretty sure I will probably be in Redondo on those dates. Just let me know. Contact me by email and I will send you my phone number. I believe renting a skiff for a half day is $50.00. A skiff is just a big rowboat with an outboard. The Harbor is just like a lake. The bait barge is just a short run. I'm sure you have more than enough skills to handle it. If it works out for me we can split the cost and I will supply the flies. There are other possibilities. I may have access to a boat. There are also some good places to launch a kickboat, I might have two in that area then. At that time of year the halibut fishing should be good also along with the Calico bass. Chartreuse and white is also a good color. If you would like to tie up some flies, here's a link to some popular local fly patterns:
