About Zuñiga Point
Zuñiga Point is an outer-exposed rocky drop-off off San Diego, where the bottom falls away through depths of 260 to 660 feet. The structure holds California Halibut, which peak from March through June, alongside Barred Sand Bass and Calico Bass through the summer months of June and July. Halibut come to drift fishing over the slope with live anchovies, live sardines, or swimbaits, while Barred Sand Bass respond to drifting live bait such as anchovies, sardines, or squid across the rock. Calico Bass hold tight to the structure and take plastics on leadheads worked along the edges. Later in the season, Leopard Shark move through from June to September and take squid or mackerel soaked on the bottom, and California Sheephead feed on the rock from July to September on live shrimp, squid strips, or rock crab.
