Anacapa Island - A 15 mile Journey

[aren_denman]

Were going to do the islandpackers trip. Check the island out, and return for the journey this summer. In the mean time, We are leaning towards Santa Cruz Island for base camp, We are trying to decide which campground - Prisoner Harbor vs Scorpion Anchorage . What has better fising, diving, hiking. Which side is best protected by the wind? Which side has more structure, more kelp, and biggest caves? Hunting game fish - WSB, Yellowtails fins, bluefin. Also, you guys know a good website for fish reports in channel islands?

East side for wind protection, caves and camping. Yellowbanks, the gap, east side, north, it all fishes good when the bites there. The island is like 20 miles long.

We did Santa Cruz Island about 2 years ago using Island Packers. Super fun trip that I am trying to talk Andy into doing again. We camped at Scorpion.
