Went fihing along Goleta beach on Sunday. Was using 4" fishtrap plastics from the rocks near campus and the pier. Started fishing out towards the swimming buoys got one hit (something small, maybe a white croaker). Moved in towards shore at 8:30am about 30 yards from the beach and ended up getting three halibut 16", 19" and 18" all too short, my buddy also got three that were also short. Only the third time I've tried for Halibut and am consideing trying for WSB sometime this week.

This is a great site and I appreciate all the information from the more experienced fisherman on this site.
