Solana Beach kelp beds (what happened to them?)

[ccacher1]

Paddled out from dog beach by the horse track inlet yesterday morning like I've been doing every summer. Funny thing is I never found the kelp beds just to the north like I used to... Was super bummer because I was planning on doing some calico fishing. Ended up catching some macs and flying lining one. Hooked a thresher shark for about 45 min on my medium heavy teramar / daiwa lexa 300 bass rod. Managed to get the shark to the kayak once before it ran again and I called it. Anyways still bummed the kelp beds were missing...
