Sterns Wharf 05/29-30/2024

It had been almost (6) six years since I was at the Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbra on the way to
spend a night in the Danish town of Solvang (sunny valley).

I forgot to take my usual Nikon camera and have not figured out how post online from my cell phone.
Thus, the pictures below are from the past outings.


1-When I checked the YouTube for fishing information about the Wharf, I was surprised to see the
railing around the Warf. Being a commercial Wharf in the past, there was no railing.
I suppose the large logs were put later to make it a slightly safer place.
I was concerned of falling in the water by accident, but there was a ladder to climb up from the water.

There is now a railing all around the Wharf/pier. Much safer for everyone.


2-I like to set up this "show and tell" container for the tourist and especially the kids.

3- I keep my catch in there live and release them before going home. I have the kids touch the fish or
crabs and answer questions.

There were lot of mackerel (both Pacific Chub and Spanish) that being caught by anglers.
Some were more successful than others.
I fished there for two days and caught some red rock crabs too. All given to my neighbor.

It was a nice trip and being a weekday, no issues with traffic or parking space. Weather was nice too.

To post photos from your phone, take the charger cord and plug it into your computer from the phone to an open USB receptacle. With a Samsung, the phone will be seen on on your computer menu as if it were another USB drive. Look in the DCIM menu for your photos. If the phone is not unlocked when you plug it in you will see nothing. The phone must be unlocked to access the contents.

Google is trying to sell cloud space so they make it a little harder to do. There are YouTube videos that take you through the steps. If you have issues with any other make of phone, YouTube most likely has a video to show you how to do it.

It looks like your pier trips inspire youth interest in marine life. With so few posts on the forum these days I don't think anyone is going to minds seeing these pier trips. Thanks.

Thank you for your help and kind words.

I have an IPhone 14. I tried to upload in the past. Some of pictures would look like getting uploaded, then there would be a lot of same pictures of what I cannot say it is shows up. Like 20 or so.

I use Picasa3 for uploading and do not have issues with my Nikon camera.

However, I used to be able to get an [img] code in Picasa3 so I could post them with my report.
That changed, but thanks to a member here who maintains a site, I am able to get the code.
Even there recently an issue has risen that was not there before, but it seems to work.

Hopefully this will be helpful.

Thanks.

I will look into it.

I?ve had similar issues with uploading photos from my phone before. Sometimes, certain platforms just don?t play nice with mobile uploads, and it can be frustrating when files don?t show up correctly. One workaround I?ve used is converting the images to a more reliable format before uploading them or compressing them to reduce file size. That sometimes helps with odd duplication issues or failed uploads.

If you need to change formats easily, you might want to try this JPG converter on https://www.movavi.com/image-converter/jpg-converter.html. It?s been a quick fix for me when I need to adjust or compress images before sharing them online.

The private sight that I had been using is not working and the owner has not responded to my email.

I need to find a different one if I don't hear from him.
I still don't know how to do it on Picassa3.
I use Regular camera for my reports.

I plan to fish the Cedros Island at the end of July and hope to post a long report.
