Back in the day...my pb was a 8 pounder. A buddy nailed a 13# Spotfin. Ate it w/o checking and was later told it would've been a state record...don't know if true though as we were punks heavy into fishing. These were Mission Bay fish, late night incoming tides. Pencil Clams used to be the candy for them...I've also got plenty of schoolies in the surf. I've seen them up to 5#...a great fighter in the surf on ultralight tackle...Sand crabs work as well as anything i've tried.

I'd probably go for the surf first. Lots more area to move around. Not even sure where I'd start looking for them in the harbor.
