Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge - Any advice on fishing in Monterey?

We’re planning on being up in Monterey this Wednesday thru Friday and would like to try a ½ day sportfishing trip ($60 range) so we can bring home some good eats for the freezer.
As far as we can see our choices seem to be either Randy’s or Chris’s landing in Monterey, or Tom’s at Moss Landing. All seem to be fishing for rockcod, although daily internet fishing reports seem to be hard to come by. If the salmon start hitting that would be great.
Does anyone have any good advice or insight into current fishing conditions? If fishing for cod, how much lead, how heavy of line? If salmon, what gear is best? Are there any other landings in the area that fish ½ day open party boat?
Thanks in advance.
