SCI Yellow 6.18.07 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

dorado50 · 06-19-2007, 08:21 AM

Just got back from Islander trip to San Clemente island. Pretty cool operation and the crew was great. Fishing was fairly good. Lots of bass, one WSB, one hali ,and this guy

caught on a temp break on the outside about 120' of water.

Nice one Dave

. Is that a new yak I see? Didn't waste any time christening it.

I was considering this trip, but opted to be a responsible employee instead and not ditch work. Thanks for making me regret my decision.

You are a fish catching mofo. Love that Islander.

Way to go dave-
Corey-The day had it's moments, but very windy in the afternoon-
One just legal butt for me and plenty of bass+
about 50+ lb mako on the rapalla-got him up close and he probably is still wearing my rapalla on the fin

we went to the calm side of the island and it was like another world-
The jackpot was a 28# WSB caught on a plastic while calico fishing

Nice. Those Makos are a bot nerve-wracking, huh?

Who caught the WSB? Was the fishing bad on the Leeward side?

Lit-up1 · 06-19-2007, 02:27 PM

Leeward side-
I don't know who caught the seabass-but it was late in the day on the leeward side up close to the rocks-the mako was on that side as well, but all I know about other than that were calicos-
The yellows were early-10:00ish in the day-
Big (25+lbs) flattie was deep-100 feet on live sardine-around noon-
No live squid and that would have helped the counts alot---
Leeward side was alive with dogs, and dolphins chasing flying fish-i almost got nailed by a flying fish

--it veered off at the last second-if I had a net I could have grabbed it-no serious boils, but lots of bait, so it was just a matter of time and ours ran out---
