You must mean Goleta Beach, just south of UCSB Campus point...yes, it is a popular tubing area. Hali's and Calico's have been biteing there. I would get my Caddis Nav II out and go out there with you, but Mon. - Fri. is tough for me to get off. I am off every other Monday, although I watch my daughter on that day. If you do go to Goleta beach, don't forget your BigHammers Swimbaits!
