Thanks Hank!
Man, I'm glad I started somewhere relatively easy... Palos Verdes would've been murder! I got to Cherry Beach around 10am and took some extra time to make sure I had everything. Well, it still wasn't enough because I forgot to get my hat and my jigheads out of the car--LOL. Oh well, it turned out to be more an exercise in getting in/out and navigating the waters than fishing anyway. Fished for about 3 hours before my legs got tired... Had plenty of bites but only came away with one shorty halibut. Here are some pics:
As you can see from the pictures, the water was very brown with no visibility. Is this the infamous red tide or is it normally like this?
Calm waters

Fishfinder says there are fish!

Shorty halibut (maybe 12 in. or so?)
