Comments: Took the kayak up to Butterfly beach in Montecito and fished the east end all the way down to Hammonds Beach (I think that’s what it’s called). The swells were a little larger than I had expected, but other then that, the conditions were pretty good. There were tons of baitfish in the water all along and just outside the surf zone, but I just could not seem to get anything to bite. I tried several different colors and switched sizes a couple of times. Finally hooked up with the small WSB as I was heading back to the beach, just outside a zone of kelp.

Here are a couple pictures of the WSB
