#14586, "RE: Santa Barbara Reports?" In response to In response to 0
Just returned from my annual family trip down to SB area and got in a couple hours a day on my yak. It wasn't a hot bite with tons of shorts, but a few good ones, one pushing 19lbs. I didn't let myself throw anything smaller than 5" BH's , pacific chovy and bleeding mac, on 20lb outfit and glad I had it for the big dog. Also mixed it up and got a few legals on megabait-fastrac type minnow plug, and even a few shorts and one just legal on spinnger baits. A buddy of mine hit some other rando spots north of SB in his yak and also got a few halis on swimbaits and one WSB just under. I couldn't find any calicos(but I never could!), but had a maybe legal WSB hammer my spinnerbait 5 ft from the yak, not get hooked somehow and broke the blades off it hit so hard! Can't attach photo...too big?
