Try Huntington Harbor. You can launch from the small beach by OEX in Sunset Beach, or off the free parking lot on countess st. is closer to the good fishing. There is good fishing for bay bass & halibut there, better than Alamitos in my opinion. Same stuff works there & you can usually find some smelt if you look around, although I usually just fished artificials & caught alot of halibut that way. Troll a crankbait while you cover ground & you will pick up alot of fish that way in HH.

Long Beach Harbor holds alot of halibut too, bigger ones. There are lots of launch options there, but I think most launch off Cherry St. & make smelt by the pier.
