The post front conditions didn't turn the bass on as much as the pre front conditions Larry & Dimitri had on Friday (I guess they got 80+ legal bass for 3 guys on the 5 inch Big Hammers). I went out of Santa Barbara with Larry and his brother Scott. We started on the One Mile Reef and it was slow. Larry picked up a couple of small fish but that was about it. We continued down the coast hitting a few spots along the way and picked a few fish here and there. Around noon we were around Carpinteria and Larry decides to buzz down to the Rincon area - which was a good call. Most of the fish were sandies but at least it was moderately steady enough to make it fun and "save the day".
When all was said and done the three of us got 41 legal bass (about 80/20 - Sand Bass to Calicos) and a nice big sculpin. All fish were released. Largest fish was probably about 2.5 - 3 pounds. Most of Larry's fish were on 4 and 5 inch Big Hammers in reds and greens. Most of my fish were on 5 inch Sea Wolf & Clear Red Flake colored Big Hammers. Most of Scotts fish were on a 5 inch Amber with red & black flake Assalt Skirted Twin Tail grub.

Perdy ain't she?
How's it going Brian? You should of stopped in and said hi!
The plan is to maybe get a little larger floating device in the near future - we had to start with the vehicle. I don't think my little Mazda would do it!

ha, figured. That'll be cool when you get the float tube launching device. I would've stopped by or charged goleta beach or somethin but I was kinda busy with the homies. I'll be in town for quite a while over winter break though, maybe we can play with some calicos. -Brian
