here goes
Jizames, im not sere if ive ever fished the absolute end, ive beeen pretty far out in my kayaks. like a mile or so. theres no kelp there but theres bottom structure. in calm conditions there are toad sandies and lings there. as to the poo poo, im not sere if that pipe is still in use, even if it is the water that would come out is treated and fairly high quality so i dont see a problem with eating the fish but, in moderation, c&r :)
mceehops, the pipe runs parallel to the goleta pier but goes much further, it starts almost at the shore its easy to see especially when there isnt much wind or current. i usually find the kelp then follow it out to 30 ft deep or so. its hard to fish from shore or the pier because it gets hit hard, but starting a hundred feet past the end the fishing starts to get good. for this spot i recomend kayaks because it would be a long kick in a tube. i havnt been up on the artificial reef idea but it sounds good, it might help with the beach erosion and other problems. i would support this plan.
hope that helps
Daniel
