Newbie needs help with calico fishing - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have been kayaking for many years and recently decided to try my hand at fishing from the yak. Joined the site and read up on Calico fishing. Ok, this looks easy, no problem.

Bought a license, pole, Shimano AX spinning reel and some 4-5 inch big hammer swim baits.

I have been out to the kelp beds off east Goleta Beach north of Santa Barbara about 5 times now, skunked every time. What's the deal! Any tips?
