Oil Rigs In Santa Barbra Question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Yakin · 03-29-2012, 07:38 AM

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?!

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.
