Did not know what to expect, first bite was a 15 lb bat ray and must have taken me 100 yards down the shore, then a good 1 metre 10 shovel nose, best fishing have ever had. Best to go 1 hours before sunrise to 1 hour after, same for sunset but was better than the morning. ..can't wait to Back next year.. God knows how I would get a big bat ray in.. they were awesome.

I just started as a grad student at UCSB, a 10 minute walk from my office to Goleta Pier. I went for the first time last night with a co-worker, we caught a dozen or so decent size mackerel. Maybe I'll have to chop up a frozen mackerel and try for one of the Big Three! I have some experience catching Cownose rays in the chesapeake bay, and i can attest to the freight train nature of a big ray. I used to catch them from a fishing kayak and get a nantucket sleigh ride from them before getting them in the boat. Excellent article!

But they have to be 36 inches, a personal pet peeve. I cant tell you the amount of times i've seen people(poachers in my opinion) haul off with a shorty. Please be sure it's the legal size!!

I have to give the leopard shark a try. I think the fear is the urine flavor. Ron That was a nice article thanks. I have to give the leopard shark a try. I think the fear is the urine flavor.
