Try the Freelance out of Davey's Locker in Newport Beach. Great crew and captain.
Looking at the reports for the last few days down here in San Diego for 3/4 dayers: lots of barracuda and a smattering here and there of YT, along with the usual rockcod.
I'm don't know where you would be driving from, but I would drive down to SD if it is reasonably close, unless you are deadset on fishing the Los Angeles area, which as far as I can tell, is not that good right now. Why spend $75 to catch LA Harbor fish?????
Barracuda may not be the greatest fish in the world to eat, but they sure are fun to catch when nothing else is around!
Take 2 weeks off then quit altogether!!
