Sterns Wharf 05/29-30/2024 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

It had been almost (6) six years since I was at the Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbra on the way to
spend a night in the Danish town of Solvang (sunny valley).

I forgot to take my usual Nikon camera and have not figured out how post online from my cell phone.
Thus, the pictures below are from the past outings.

1-When I checked the YouTube for fishing information about the Wharf, I was surprised to see the
railing around the Warf. Being a commercial Wharf in the past, there was no railing.
I suppose the large logs were put later to make it a slightly safer place.
I was concerned of falling in the water by accident, but there was a ladder to climb up from the water.

There is now a railing all around the Wharf/pier. Much safer for everyone.

2-I like to set up this "show and tell" container for the tourist and especially the kids.

3- I keep my catch in there live and release them before going home. I have the kids touch the fish or
crabs and answer questions.

There were lot of mackerel (both Pacific Chub and Spanish) that being caught by anglers.
Some were more successful than others.
I fished there for two days and caught some red rock crabs too. All given to my neighbor.

It was a nice trip and being a weekday, no issues with traffic or parking space. Weather was nice too.

THE END
