Santa Barbara Island 6 pack mothership

[Iceman]

Short notice! Wednesday Nov 3rd

Epic brute YT and a killer forecast had me make a phone call. If I can get 5 people we will go on Joe's Parker and be there and fishing at grey light. Cost is $225 for the day. Once I get 5 people, I will be collecting via telephone and credit card. Boat leaves from Huntington Harbor. Details will all be figured out in short order.

[Grego]

Not enough lead time for me.....could be an awesome trip for a select few

[THE DARKHORSE]

I'd love to jump on this, sounds like a blast! Too bad with my age I've gotten lazy. Can we go when the bite here dies down :D. Seriously though, I hope it fills and you guys pull some monsters off the rocks. Those stones are no joke from what I've heard---button down or lose 'em!

[bigbarrels]

working:( good luck!

[Iceman]

No takers!

I am thinking about leaving the kayak home and jumping on the Freedom fishing Wednesday.

$120 after the discount below.

Just got the morning report at 10:20 am for Halloween Day:
61 Yellowtail 25-40 lbs. 5 White Seabass 4 Halibut to 35 lbs.
The boys are still on the action with the best score of the week. The weather kept most of the little boats away J darn!

What the...?

[Tman]

Ouch...have fun fellas...

[Iceman]

To clarify as I have on the other 2 boards I posted this on: I was leaning toward jumping on the overnight boat for some stand up fishing as at best we were 2 people short for the 6 pack. Then Jim called me with a plan C. Driving up to MDR with the yak and hopping on his friends boat. Sounds like I may have not found a spot on the Freedom as others barely squeaked on. Supposed to be crowded at that little island. Hope we don't piss anybody off!..........catching all their fish :doh:

[Fiskadoro]

Fun Kayaking with you Andy.

We did Good!

[steveooo]

Looks like an awesome trip. Big 'ol Hali's and Ghosts to boot? :cheers1:

Andy, that gaff looks a little rusty. Next time if you plan on not using it for an extended period of time, try coating it with a little WD-40 to prevent rust :biggrinjester:

[StinkyMatt]

Man, that is a small ice chest......or some bigass fish!

Congrats on a nice day.

[Iceman]

Norm made it look too easy from the skiff, he had limits before some of us had our 1st. He moved out of the zone and spent the rest of the day snoozing on and off with 2 lines that never got bit. we would paddle out and get more squid or drop off a fish.

Jim's first fish on the Boga

http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwegallery/data/500/IMG_3123.jpg

I lost one fish from pulling too hard on the 50# set up I brought for the SLUG YT. Gary lost 2 big fish and his 3rd made a bee line for this guys anchor. He graciously pulled it up with Jim's help the fish found the gaff. I later was towed into the side of his boat and they lifted lines to keep things clear, very cool guys

We could San Clemente Island at times, with Catalina and the CA coast 50 miles away.
