Lots of good setups mentioned here. The amount of weight used will be determined by depth, current, rig and purpose. Generally you need enough to keep your sinker on or near the bottom while drifting/paddling. Especially in L A harbor where visibility is usually just a few feet at the bottom. Fish the largest Sardines in your tank, or double up your Squid, to avoid wasting time on smaller fish. Carry grippers or a small mesh net in case you do run into a really hungry short or questionable size fish. Cover a lot of ground in various depths until you find fish willing to bite then focus your coverage.
