The Hump at 32.60217, -117.26456 is an outer-exposed rock pinnacle off San Diego, rising from depths of 165 to 195 feet. The structure holds a mix of bottom species and pelagics through the year, with Rockfish available across most months, Lingcod peaking October through February, and Yellowtail moving through July to September. California Halibut concentrate March through June, while Ocean Whitefish and Barred Sand Bass fill out the warmer stretch from spring into summer. Working the rock at this depth suits dropper loop bait fishing with squid or mackerel strips for rockfish and whitefish, and vertical jigging with heavy iron or metal jigs for lingcod holding tight to the pinnacle. When yellowtail push through, live bait such as sardines or mackerel and yo-yo jigging with heavy iron cover the water column above the structure.
