My friends and I have been fishing very shallow, right on the surface. We use a green/glow Hot Spot with white/glow hoochie 18-24" behind the Hot Spot. Use herring oil too.

You don't even need 'riggers to catch fish off of Redondo. We use 8oz. banana weights with no more than 40' of line out. Caught a 15# king with this set up last weekend. eek
