Without giving away your "secret" spots, can anyone provide us some advice on fishing Glorietta Bay and nearby spots?

We've never launched or fished there. It looks like the sandy beach just south past the municipal pool is the place to launch. We know there's decent bass and bonefishing nearby, plus maybe some corvina, halibut, etc. Is right across the sandy beach area any good? How about if we paddle out right from the beach and go around to the other side south?

Since we don't plan on making a bait barge run, besides plastics for bass and maybe a halibut, what might be good methods to have a shot at the bonefish?
Thinking ghost shrimp, but launching at sunrise, we probably can't buy any that early in the morning. We know flies are used for Florida flats, how about a Mepps spinner with a bucktail, or is that dreaming? Any good frozen baits that we could buy (or might have already), that stands a good chance at catching fish?

Any advice would be appreciated. We haven't been out in awhile, looking for some easy paddling to get in shape for longer paddling.

Thanks in advance.
