Hey there,

I'm interested in this trip but will be coming from Las Vegas

. There's alot of things going on right now, but I would like to look forward to going on my first mothership trip.
Is there a deposit or is there a refund policy that will allow me to cancel at a certain time? I agree that the price is great for what you're getting, but coming from Las Vegas adds more logistical issues that need to be addressed closer to launch time.
Btw - will a Hobie sport be able to handle this type of fishing?

Thanks!

As long as we can re-fill your spot before the trips leaves we can refund you in full. So if you need to cancel, the sooner the better as it will give us more time to fill your spot.

As for the kayak, you should feel comfortable in windy, swelly, choppy conditions. We won't run the trip if the weather is outrageously bad, but you can expect some degree of the usual ground swell and wind.

Give us a call with any other questions. OEX- 619 758-9531

Anyone ever fish the Cortez Bank? Whats it like?

Several times. Never on a yak. Mostly on anchor in 15-20kt wind w/swell.
Kind of a spooky (to me) couple fathom deep, reefy, former island in the middle of nowhere --that sometimes breaks, big, in the winter. It's got kelp and boiling reef, but its 100miles from shore and 50 from SCI. There's a late Summer window for fairer weather out there. I'm really hoping this hits it, because it's also right adjacent to deep blue water! There is no wind protection, so combine that with its ~50mile proximity to Clemente (Pyramid), it's a risk to go fish the Cortes in any boat. Getting it good enough to launch and then fish from yaks enjoyably is a real gamble --I'm willing to take to fish there. But extra time at SCI isn't a bad consolation.

I actually thought getting out there to yak m/s would be impossible, back in the day, but that was back before there was even much m/s competition. Now there's several operations taking yaks all over the place.

Think calm thoughts for the next 3 weeks or so, would ya?
