Welcome abard usmc. Welcome to SoCal as well.
For much of the Coastal fishing, you will need a 12 or 15lb set up, 20 to 30lb set up and perhaps a 40lb set up depending on your ability to angle out there.
12 or 15 lb set up would be good for the Calico Bass, Sand Bass, Bay Bass, Perch, White fish and other smaller species.
20 to 30lb set up would be good for Halibut, Rock Fishing, White Sea Bass, Barracuda, Bonito and Yellow tail. 30lb would also be good for Albacore fishing but not quite stout enough for Blue Fin Tuna nor Yellow Fin Tuna.
Before I recommend the gear, please let me know if you are more into spinning combos or conventional (Bait casting) set ups.
Tarpon4me has a good recommendation for brand and style. I can further enhance the equipment that would meet your general needs out here in Cali.
