I lived and worked in cbad for several years and fished all over that area. I never caught a yt or sb there but have caught plenty of bass and few halibut. There is good kelp and structure all over; from the Army and Navy accademy down to the Bataquitos Lagoon mouth. Maybe fish the outside edges of the kelpin a it deeper water for the bass this time of year. In the summer fish around the grunnion runs.
Good luck. Mike
