I have fished there a few times the Kelp to the north is awsome....it's all awsome , Check for structure for the Cabazons, there good. I was in Carpinteria over 2 weeks ago bait was plentiful lots of nice Sardines,but the red tide was nasty.
The red tide should be gone by now, water temp a little cool still. Spoke with Game Warden up there ,he did tell me the water has been cool and the bite has been off a bit. It should pick up though. Enjoy the no crowds in the water, thats the nice part..
