bait ?

[chitown54]

does anyone have any advice on where a good place to go and catch mack's for bait im not asking for any secret hunny hole or anything i normaly get mine off Redondo Pier but last weekend me and the family tried 10 hr's and got 4 mack's so im just hoping that it was a bad day or if anyone wanted to share a better place i was thinking the kelp beds just south of Redondo anyone ever try there ?

thanks
