Float tubing. Launched at the stairs at U.C.S.B. at 5:00 pm. The shallow water was pretty dirty so I paddled out to about 8 to 10 foot deep and started working the bottom with the swimbaits. Worked the area for about 45 minutes before going back in shallow to give the high tide a shot. Sitting right in front of the eel grass beds in about 6 feet of water I was throwing the 3" 'Chovy colored Big Hammer as close to shore as possible. First strike turned out to be a yellowfin croaker. A few casts later I get a legal flattie. Bryan shows up, starts throwing the Blue Mackerel Excalibur Long A and nails another legal. Fish the area for another 20 minutes or so until the tide started falling, the waves got larger, and for some reason a lot of weeds appeared in the area making it impossible to get a good cast in. Moved back down the beach only to find the very dirty water I found when I first launched. Called it a day at 7:00 pm.

That's a great pic of Bryan fighting that flattie. October and they're still biting, that's cool!

Bendo! Gotta love that big swirl on the surface.
