Trolling rapalas/yo-zuris and live bait (mackerels) close to shore from Crystal Cove to Dana Point has worked well for me. That area has a lot of shallow points right next to deep dropoffs and kelp forest that the WSB hangout in. Just note that Laguna Beach MLPA (if it is implemented) is planning to close off most of that area, so fish it soon, and also it is an area with a lot of T-sharks, so you may end up hooking a T-shark rather then a WSB.
