2013 Islander Mothership Schedule! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I say you should allow PAs.

One catch, the owner of the PA has to load, unload and launch his kayak.

Sorry Tony, we got an 11foot revo for you.

I just put a deposit down with the guys at OEX for the Islander 1.5 in May. I am already beside myself! Can't wait!

Rods and reels are a good mix that can handle anything you will fish for there. Take a few Irons in blue/white and scrambled egg and some weedless plastics in reds and greens. I would recommend that you get yourself a paddle jacket, not a wind jacket. If you don't have your Mini X already set up with a fishfinder and/or bait tank, I would recommend you rent an Outback for more room.

Thanks Greg!
I enjoyed some on your videos!
Yes I do have PFD, forgot to mention that. So something in 20-50lb line rating rods are probably overkill, yeah?
And I don't have ff and baits and on my mini x. And trying to get a bigger kayak and insta both ff and bait tank.
Thanks for the info on the irons and plastic! Really appreciate it!

Just spoke with CJ @ OEX and grabbed the last spot for the May 24-27 Fri-Mon (Memorial Day weekend) trip. Super stoked!

Hey all!

Our trip is getting closer! For those of you who have done this before, I just want to make sure I am bringing what I need. Is this trip mostly geared toward calico bass fishing? I was thinking of bringing a light bass rod that has a Calcutta on it. Also I will bring a heavier YT set up that has a Daiwa Sealine on it with braid. I have something in between the two, a Calstar rod with an Avet reel. Should I bring my Seeker with the Newell on it for surface irons or not the right time of year? I have a bass rod (Seeker) that I have a Shimano (new reel) spinning reel on it. Is this not the place for spinning gear? What else to I need to make sure and bring?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Janine
