I have been down there a few times in the past 2 years. Lots of Leopard sharks and a few Butts. I launch at the south end of the day use area where the surf is smaller. There can be 4 or more breaks in the surf zone, but you can paddle parallel to the shore after the first one or two and slowly work outside without having to breach the others. You can make bait pretty easily in front of the domes where the water from the intake and exhaust is swirling at the surface most days. If you want to fish the shallows you need to pick the days when the surfers are staying home.
