7-5-15 Carpinteria
I went fishing of course. First time hitting up Carp, found lots of shallow reef structure and nice bits of kelp Breezy a bit in the morning, and never got bad throughout the day. Even flattened out mid day for a spell. water temps 65ish was OTW from around 8am-3pm worked the south edge of the reef for nada as I headed out to deeper waters looked for squid but couldn't find any grabbers on my squid jig ganion made some mini bonitas and dragged one around on a dropper loop, got picked up for a T-shark around 8' long from nose to tail tip not sure of weight seemed bout avg. to small size around 12pm the macks showed up everywhere in 80ft deep waters made a bunch and got picked up again for another T-shark, poss the same one both released, or same one released twice self release the first time after the third time at yak side second hook-up cut the leader at yakside damn those things thrash around a lot worked the north edge of the reef(I think) coming back with macks for nada then did a hali drift to the landing for nada fun day I will be back P |

Just thought i would chime in and mention that i was there that day as well. I worked the shallow areas for nada but did see a bunch of calicos follow my swimbaits and irons. Glad to here you managed to hooks into something out there.

I thought I was all alone only noticed a few boats at the riggs and one that came over and sat inshore north of me for a bit before splitting maybe u were out a bit later? when I was out deeper I didn't pay attention to inshore too much + the beach got kinda busy with peops so couldn't really tell anyways pretty cool spot to yak easy parking/launch and landing lifeguards made sure I knew to stay tween the bouys when coming in no probs really got fishy out there midday on the calico followers maybe try a red crab imitation type bait like a small scampi with 4 tails in red color I will next time when im not after the big stuff not sure if those red crabs have made it up there yet didn't notice any tons at BKR P |

Hey Paul,
Good to hear you're up our way. 8am to 3pm is a short session for you, but at least you know yer legs will work when you land! Carp reef can be fickle. The water is warm now, though. I'll be fishing SB tomorrow. Let me know the next time you come up to Leo. |

Love fishing Carpinteria Beach camped there may years, carp reef is some days awesome and some slow Threshers always a bit of fun along with some nice leopards some nice Hali spots along Pradera .
bait never seems to be an issue.

I fished that area also around the same time, nothing. Worked the shore just outside the breakers and got some small stuff.
Still looking to find more spots in Magu to Gaviota zone. |
