What's the typical gear setup for the 2.5 day trip?

Jigs sticks, two speed reels, light duty poles.....?????

Siebler · 11-15-2010, 03:47 PM

i take the same gear id take to LJ except more Bass gear.

Usually a 25lb bait stick, 40lb yoyo/ heavy bait, and a jig stick then 2 bass rods.

me too. damn, was really looking forward to fishing that trip. guess I'll have to make other plans, seeing as it will probably get cancelled

as for gear, I primarily target the calico, so bring a range of bassin' sticks. I bring a couple of swim bait rods, 15-20# class. also, bring my slug stick, 50# spectra/30# flouro topshot. calico on slugs, it don't get any better!! and I'll also bring another spectra rod for the weedless kelp jigs.

never go out without a jig stick, 'cause you never know.

if you target yellows, whatever works for you in LJ. a couple of bait sticks and a jig stick or two.

nice thing about the mothership trips is that you can bring more rods and leave some on the boat. so you want to spend the morning for example going after the bass, leave the bait sticks on board. afternoon, go deeper for yt, leave the bass sticks on board. the 2.5 day is awesome because it gives you much more time and you're not rushed, and trying to cram it all in in one day.

Call the boat the week before & see what is happening. Unless you need an excuse to go shopping, in which case you need 8 custom sticks from 10# to 60#

and two speed reels for each.

That said, I'll probably plan on a bass bait stick, bass plastic stick, jigstick, yoyo/heavy bait stick, 20-30# baitstick, & my bounceball panga stick.

jorluivil · 12-01-2010, 06:41 PM

Came up with the mula(deposit) for 2.5 day trip.....I'll be booking it in the next day two. CANT WAIT!

Is anyone signed up for the 7 day Islander trip? How many anglers do they need to make the trip happen? Been my experience in the past that there is never enough interest. I'm torn between laying the money down on the seven day and hope it happens or going to Rancho Leanero Spring Spectacular in the same time period which is almost sold out. bosco
