Makin' bait in Carpinteria 5/27/15
« on: May 27, 2015, 12:46:52 PM »
Well I figured I'd give it one more shot this week to try for a contender in Tom's leopard shark contest so I went out on my lunch break to try for some fresh bait.  Went to one of my usual spots with the tide way out and decided to walk the beach a bit and try to learn the structure. There wasn't much current today, but the water was pretty stained and there we lots of big chunks of kelp floating around.  Also noticed a lot of new SC beds  :)


I looked around a bit more and found a mostly kelp free pocket next to a small rip and started throwing some camo crack.  Second cast, tap, tap, tap, fish on!  Nice to finally catch something again!  Not a trophy, but good bait size  8)


Caught two more similar models in the next 10 minutes and headed back up the beach.  Hoping they do the trick and score a nice big leo!
On less positive note, I know they're saying the oil spill north of SB isn't affecting us, but I saw several spots like this that make me think otherwise  :(


Have a great week guys!

Yikes!  Hopefully that is not oil from the spill, but I wouldn't totally believe what information they are giving us.

Nice lunch break and bait!
You can't catch them from your computer chair.
