I'm heading up to morrro bay and of course I want to bring my pole hoping to get at least any kind of fishing in. I've never been up their are there piers or where could I fish up there? I'm only bringing an ugly stik catfish 10-30 lb 7' pole. So it's not too big to cast way out there... What should I expect fish species wise and will my pole even hold up?

Only way to really catch fish out of morro bay is with a boat...

Use googlemaps to find a spot where a creek or a slough would enter the ocean fish for perch there.  Use camo gulp 2 inch sandworms on a #6 Baitholder hook , preferablly a matzuo red one.  carolina rigged with a flurocarbon leader if your using spinning tackle with a 1/2 oz to 1 oz weight depending on the waves.  fish at high tide or just vbefore and after high tide.    

 

Or fish off the rockjs at the bay entrance using a white big hammer 3/4 or 1/2 oz jig head, and a big hammer#63 colored swimbait (the swimbait that has green on top , bright yellow stripe in the middle and then white or clear on the bottom.  get some hot sauce or some sort of scent cure stuff.  toss it out , let it drop to the bottom, pause and then either reel it in extremly slow or work it up and then let it drop back to the bottom.  Ive caught a small white seabass and a nice sand bass doing this at goleta beach this week.
