Have not seen a skate in close to 10 years...gone with the seals. Dogfish disapeared a year or two after that. I never dead stick bait so I never really caught them, just observed.

Caught pollock (on droppers) from the beach there as late as about 2001 or 2002...guys I fish with got a few cod on metal about 5 years ago.

Last fluke I caught (bouncing metal along the bottom) from shore was near Mission Bell around '98 or '99. Caught 6-8 in a row one morning, pretty good size.

There's just no way for species like that to survive near shore with all the seals....can't imagine you'll ever see them there again.
