Hey what can I say: not many will go the distance and boats usually head further south. I probably paddle just as far fishing La Jolla half the time.
The dump is where they dumped all the stuff they dug out of the harbor when they dredged it. All the old timers know about it. It's even marked on the charts. This was back in the days before GPS so there is a ton of junk scattered all the way from the breakwater out to that location. An old timer told me they used to just head out until they were out of site then dump anywhere. It sounds like a long trip but I usually just watch the meter and drop on anything that looks interesting, and there are a ton of rock and structure along the way, boats never hit that small stuff, so there's a chance to hit some big fish.
Once you get out there though it can be pretty epic though just in numbers. I've seen my meter just filled with Rockfish where you couldn't even get an Iron to the bottom.
Just watch the wind.
