San Diego area surf fishing?

im going to be staying in Las playas de Tijuana for a few months (february-april) and i was wondering what to use for bait there when surf fishing during this time period. obviously surf fishing is different than pier fishing, but as far as i know, there arent any piers in Las Playas, so i will be confined to surf fishing (unless i take a day to go fishing in San diego, but thats besides the point) so basically my question is, what should i use for bait for surf fishing in the san diego area, and what can i expect to catch? thanks for the help!

1. try crocodiles for halibut looks like live bait, blood worms for surf pearch and corbina they also like Berkley gulp worms and sand crabs from Berkley, motor oil flake grubs on Carolina rig with 3 ft leader mussels use 6lbs test
2. try artificial lures
3. You answered my question about come-a-longs and asked if I might be able to help with your question.. I wish I could.. I am just not familair with that sport. I did see a movie once though with Stephen Dorrf called Blood and Wine.. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115710/ Him and his friend fished from the back of their truck and caught a big shark.. maybe you could see what they used for bait.. I can't remember. That's the total of my knowledge on surf fishing though. Hope it helps. good luck and have fun on your trip.
