mackrel in carp

Started out launching from Ash street in Carpinteria (aka Carp as the locals call it) easy launch @low tide 9:00 am, water Temp 61 degrees. I cautiously opted out of bringing my  FF. Paddled out about a mile past the kelp, then turned right and headed northerly to Santa Clause Lane. Tried the Sabiki to no avail. Realizing I should have brought the FF. I threw the White krockodile out about a hundred ft out and began to troll northerly again when click click click click and Zing.......fish on. a few cranks later he was off... then I was reeling it in and pow., another hit. feisty lil' fish, not as big as I expected...better luck next time I guess. Next report in a few days from San Diego.. JeffE

mmmh, Saba, yummy...
Carpinteria, beautiful area, but never fish there tho...  but still I love that place!!!

Road trip?....thanks for the post dude! 
Now throw one of those things on a BIG-ASS HOOK, thru his lower jaw and out thru its nostrils, take your FF!!  then GO DEEPER!!
....sounds good from my desk anyways!      keep the YAKin' up and have a good trip!  take more pics to post!

Terrific bait for yellowtail in the kelp

Off of Carp is where a lot of guys fish Thresher shark. That mak looks like shark bait to me!

What jeff's not telling you is that he was only down in carp to fish for TUNA.  c'mon give us the real report! 

Macks are way deceptive, so scrappy.  Always makes me think I'm pulling on something bigger.

Knock em dead in SD
