hey guys was wondering if anybody could give me some pointers we fish stripers in fresh water all the time and a buddy wants to take his center console (20ft) out of any local bays (new port, long beach,oceanside or anywhere in the area)any tips?????????

Fish the Federal Breakwall in L.A. Harbor/Long Beach. Check the weather report because it is key that you fish the outside if possible. It's alot like striper fishing/F.W. bass fishing with lures. You can fish it day or night. You will catch fish on the inside but it's MUCH better on the outside. Position your boat a long cast away off the breakwall and cast toward the rocks. Fish downhill with your baits. Experiment with colors, leadhead weights/sizes/types. Lots of snags so bring tons of swimbaits/jigheads. Some guys cast crankbaits parallel to the rocks. A trolling motor is a necessity here for proper boat positioning. We fished it today for a few minutes from a sportboat while they loaded up on livebait from the net boat. It was pretty much a bite/fish a cast for the few minutes we were there. The boat you describe is perfect for this. You can launch at Cabrillo Ramp in San Pedro.

Great info,you can also launch out of Davies launch ramp out of LB,at the end of the 605fwy,and follow the suggs of Ambassadorhawg.

Look for the boats in a group and they will be sitting on the Sandbass. Horse Shoe Kelp, HB Flats.
