I have been tubing for about 3 years and you will learn the most from other tubers. I think Cabrillo is a great spot. Easy access, live bait from the two bait barges, about 200 yards off the beach. Great variety of fish and habitats. Sandy bottom, shallow and deep (35 ft) lots of kelp, and everything from sand bass to halibuts to white sea bass.

The baytubers are a friendly and helpfull group of people www.baytubers.com We meet each Sat at Cabrillo at 5:30 and start our tournament at 6:00. Come on down on Sat and join us. We will be more than happy to help you out in any way. You can join the tournament for $20 bucks, the prize has been running between $200 and $300 the last few weekends. Or just come and fish right with us.

Parking is $6.50 (bring exact change they get too many $20s) and you can get a decent scoop of live anchovies or sardines for $5.00. You will need a bait hold of some type, there are some photos on the baytuber site. Or just throw plastics. Kio got a 32 inch white sea bass on Sun with a 5 inch bighammer swimbait.

Think it over, it's the best tubin' spot in So Cal. ERIK
