Good idea! Not sure it this place is still good, but waaaaaaaaaay back in the mid-60's I did some summer work on both the DFG's boats in San Pedro. In one day, we netted enough crab to fill a 55-gallon barel!! Cookie steamed onboard, and we had tons of crab cocktail that night for diner!! Oh yeah! The boats were tied up near 22nd St. Landing ... Just a thought! No 'bus' though!

In regards to Oceanside.
I've seen guys drop the nets along the jetty leading into the harbor.
Were they successful, I didn't wait to see if they caught anything.
Whatever you decide, Good Luck,

Keep in mind on a pier you can have only 2 nets and no fishing poles.
Or 1 net and 1 pole, and your lobster card must be filled out before you start.
