The Chart House is an ecxellent areato surf fish. I have not been there in a while, but every week my buddies tell me they get 3 or 4 bass and some short halibut. Occasionally they get a legal halibut or short white sea bass. The bait we always use is squid and swimbaits. 5 inch fish traps and big hammers are our number one choice in the chovy color. If you bring a 30 pound test rig you can toss it out far and put the clicker on, you might get a ray or a leopard shark, ive gotten some in the past. please report what you catch.

fished a mile or two below paradise cove with a slow bite. Caught a nice 14-15 inch calico on a chovy swimbait and missed another. Where exactly is this spot you are talking about? Im very interested in trying it out.

It doesnt really matter. As long as you are in the area of the chart house.
