I live in Long Beach and certainly don't have all the hotspots but I like to go to Cabrillo Beach and launch on the ocean-side to fish the kelp around the point for bass and the occasional halibut. If there's much W or NW swell, it's not fun launching there and you can launch on the bay-side. Bring your wheels.

I also launch at Cherry Beach in LB. Bring quarters ($1/hour) for the meters. I fish the oil islands and jetties for bass. I'll make my way out to the breakwall if it's not going to get to breezy.

I've spent too much time in Alamitos Bay. I used to catch a lot of nice spots and sandbass there but it's been pretty slow for me the last several times. Launch by the gondolas. Free parking usually and nice wash-down area.

I need to expand my horizons, too, but by the weekend, I don't feel like driving that far. Would love to hear from others in the N. O.C., S. L.A. area, though.
