ok. so whats a short distance for you? are you willing to go a short 3 miles? or do you just want to do like.. a mile?

rock fish are everywhere. just find the drop offs and rock piles. you can hit point loma, la jolla, oceanside, san onofre, dana point, crystal cove, new port etc.

also, you wont generally find sandies and lings together... sand bass like water in the 30-50ft range over sandy bottom with structure near by.
