Generally, the smaller boats you see right in front of the domes are fishing bass. There are a couple pipes out there much like Dana Pt./Doheny except that they suck up and pump out water from the reactors. In answer to your questions:
1 Typically the fishing is tough there unless you are fishing for bass. Bait can be very difficult to find at times.

2 Bass and Halibut. Big WSB are rare and usually a long paddle when the Squid are there. Rockfish are going to be a long paddle too for deep water. Juvinile WSB are not cool, they usually gulp down there food and are gut hooked making them poorly released.

3 The surf beach at the South end of the parking. All paddle craft are required to launch at that end.

4 For bass, fish the swirling water that stretches about a mile out from the triangle buoys right in front of the boobys. For Halibut, the sand on either side of that or less than 30 feet deep in front of the beach. Surfers do real well less than a stones throw from the beach.
