Yes I used to fish there all the time in the 80's as kids on the inside. We would go to Fisherman's Wharf and get the pile worms from under the dock the bike to the automotive shop to get some bolts for weights then down to the breakwater. Mostly small cod on the inside with the odd ling. Trick was to put the weight on the bottom and three feet up on a swivel and small 12" leader down to the hook and the bait. Very snaggy in there so this would assist with that.

I totally agree. I have been going out there as much as possible for the greenling and other bottom fish. Last time I went I hooked what must have been either a 20+ pound halibut that wandered inside the breakwater, or a ling cod around 30lbs. The line just started going out and out and out. I couldn't stop it. Then the line snapped. I should have had my tension just a little bit lighter. It was more heart pounding than any salmon I have ever fought. I had on 20lb test which the fish broke like nothing. Later I caught another decent sized fish that went right into the rocks and got snagged.Hey Falcon,
If catching the kelp greenling, perch, seabass etc that are open year round keep the fish and chips going and get you out on the warterfront enjoying our climate, then, enjoy it. It's not all about the salmon. Here is a dive site that shows a load of beach access sites that might provide some beach fishing opportunities for you. There are beach accesses in here that I never knew about, even though I lived here most of my life.
