[cool][#0000ff]Hi Peter. Welcome to the forum.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I am an old California boy, now living in Salt Lake City, UT. I lived in Camarillo, Oxnard and Santa Barbara...as well as Orange County, San Diego and Sacramento. I have fished virtually every mile of the coastline and most of the lakes and streams in the state. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Lots of good opportunities for tubing. Castaic Lake is a prime spot...in the basin below the lake. I also fished Casitas and Cachuma...over the hill from Santa Barbara. But, unless things have changed, they do not allow tubing there. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I also used to fish Sherwood. I understand that it is mostly private these days. Used to be some good bass, bluegill and crappies there...and movie stars lounging on their decks around the lake.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Once you get comfortable with your tube, and confident in your abilities, think about putting it in the salt water. The harbors at Pt. Hueneme and Ventura have some great fishing inside for multiple species that are just right for tubing. There are also some spots along the coast where you can launch from the beach for halibut, calico bass, surf perch and other species.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]If you want some BIG bass, make some trips down to the lakes around San Diego. Some have restrictions on tubing, but there are some that are great for tubing.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Good luck and have fun.[/#0000ff]
