First off, welcome to the boards!
I don't know Ventura (at all actually) but there are plenty of Sevengills there. I know for me, I look for the surfer spots. They always surf the reef breaks and I usually fish up or down current from them. Not actually on the break itself.
Seriously though, if there is reef near bye, then you are at the right spot. The hardest part is to be at that particular reef at the right day and time as many of us have hit spots for nothing for a few days and then all of a sudden, the dead spot would just turn on and multiple sharks would get caught.
I'm not sure if that helps any, but many of the guys here are tight lipped on specific spots, even among friends. lol
Hopefully you could hook up with someone up there to get out, but look for reefs and put some time on the sand and you'll have a damn good chance at getting one. A lot more of a chance than not getting out at all.
Good luck boss and I look forward to seeing some successful photos!
