As I told FishSlayer, when the riptides are from Huntington to Malibu, that could only be a good sign for Summerland, Montecito and Santa Barbara areas.
It proved to be better for us. I have learned to error on the side of precaution rather than to be though as a foolish hero.
We did have a good time. While FishSlayer was beating up on the Whiteys, I hammered me a nice "Butt" and a bunch of live bait "Mackerel".
As soon as I could feel the tide pulling, I decided it was time to go in. I hope the rest of you don't think that I'm a fool for tubing in the salt.
The ocean can be your best friend if you watch the tide charts. Look at the columns for low tide and high tide. All you have to do is launch when the tide is going out and you can see your arrival schedule fitting somewhere when the tide is coming back in.
It is perfectly safe if you plan it correctly.
FishSlayer is one of my regular fishing buddies on the Moo Moo boats. We have a lot of fun competing for the Jackpot on the boat. I even let him beat me once in awhile just so that he doesn't accuse me of being a "Hustler". hee hee.[cool]
