How many yaks/anglers do they take (12-15?)

If they are planning on hitting SCI, and the Navy closes it for bombing or whatever, do you just go to Catalina instead?

Thanks for the info gents, definitely have to get on one of these trips.

Fish caught on these trips are also eligible for WCW / jackpots right?

The Islander has a rack that will hold about 22 kayak. The crew can get all of the kayaks launched faster than most of the kayakers can get their s**t together, so you don't have to worry about that. The Islander is a long range boat that can easily accommodate 22. They have nice sized staterooms (2 or 3 to a cabin) and a large galley. It is a very good operation and they have done everything to make these mothership trips run smoothly.
You leave Friday night and should get to SCI (alternative is Catalina if SCI is closed) before dawn. Kayaks are launched early and you can stay out until dusk if you want. They will take food, drinks and bait out to you in the skiff if you don't want to come in. This is a serious full day of fishing. They head back after dinner and you'll wake up Sunday morning coming into San Diego.
Fish after the start of WCW (May 19th) are eligible
