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.

Hey...I recognize the guy in the center photo. It's truly sad how such a great fishery has turned into something so much less than what it was. |
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
