Hump 2.0 km S of Cabrillo Point is an outer-exposed rocky pinnacle off Fort Bragg, rising through depths of 25 to 95 feet. The structure holds lingcod, which peak in January through February and again in August through September, alongside aggregate rockfish that stay active from April through September and blue rockfish through the same warmer stretch. Cabezon work the rock in spring and fall, while Chinook salmon move through the exposed water from April into September. Anglers target lingcod with metal jigs and swimbaits worked over the pinnacle, or drop live rockfish and whole squid tight to the rock. For rockfish, bottom fishing with shrimp flies, squid strips, and metal jigs covers the structure, and trolling anchovies or herring accounts for the salmon passing through.
