San Clemente Island trip 05/26/2007 - OEX/Islander

[wavster]

As Adi said, it was a great trip. I wasn't targeting Calicos, but got 14 in all. They were mostly in
the 2-3lb range with several around 4lbs.

Being optomistic, I tossed them all in hopes of getting some YT action. That never happened.

However, I did land my first Halibut, though at 3.5lbs, it was puny and not a WCW contender.

My 1st 'butt


I did get another that was easily twice that size, but I missed it at the gaff, holding
it on the side of the yak for about 2 minutes while I decided on a way to measure it...
...my net was inside the hatch and not accessible. I didn't want to gaff it, though now
I know it was way over legal sized. Indecisiveness kills...

Great trip. Thanks to Adi and Art for sharing some of their fishing knowledge.

13 hours on the water and hardly paddled at all, except for when I was traversing the beach
for 'butt.

I wish I could have made that trip. I'm hoping my back is better, so I can go on the 8 June trip. Even if the YT didn't cooperate, that still sounded like a good trip. Nice report Adi.
