Welcome to LoCal, the land of fruits and nuts...
You sound like a perfect candidate for float-tube fishing. Much better access to more and bigger fish, no need for the expense and more importantly hassle of storing, launching, fueling and trailering a boat.
The BIG halibuts should be moving in to the shallow beaches and bays soon, and there are other year-round species as well.
