Oil Rigs In Santa Barbra Question

[Yakin]

I have always drove down the interstate and always looked at the oil rigs out there!
Always seems like it would be fun fishing but I know it's over 2 miles out but how far out is it?
Anyone every try to make it? if so how was the fishing?!

I'm in too, won't be too bad with peddles. What kind of fish are we talking about?

Seven miles out I'll take what I can get. Usually sandbass, reds sheeps and various rockfish. Planning on a early june trip to the flats, launching from The south end of dog beach gotta have a buddy to watch the gear as I go park.

I fished the Huntington flats oil rigs last year from my friends boat. We were drifting and casting towards the rigs and caught a lot calocos and sand bass. but as we were going to the next rig the sheriff was giving another boater for fishing near the rigs. their is a sign that says to stay 300' away.
