Islander Mothership Trips 2016

[OEX]

Here we go! If you've done these trips before, you don't need any convincing. If you've never done one, you owe it to yourself to get on one of these trips, they are unlike any other kayak fishing experience. As always, live bait, food and sodas are included in the price. Alcohol, Fish Cleaning, and Tip are additional.

All trips are aboard the Islander and leave out of Fishermans Landing in San Diego Bay.


1.5 day trip ***SOLD OUT***
$350 per person
Fishing SCI
May 20th-22nd (Fri-Sun)


2.5 day trip ***3 SPOTS LEFT***
$585 per person
Fishing SCI
June 10th-13th (Fri-Mon)

We will have the same booking process, so take note of the following:

When you call to register your spot, we will take a $100 non-refundable deposit on 1.5 and 2.5 day trips. The only exceptions to this refund are' if the trip does not run (due to weather, or lack of sign ups, acts of God).

14 days prior to the trips departure, we will automatically charge the remaining balance (if you need to pay by different method be sure to contact us prior to this date. Once the remaining balance is paid, that is also non-refundable. If you'd like to pay the trip in full at time of booking, that's up to you, but it will also be non-refundable in the event something comes up that keeps you from doing the trip. This year we would like to avoid doing "Payment Plans" on these trips, this makes book keeping straight and less complicated. We ask that you pay deposit or pay in full only.

*OK PA people the Islander is going to allow 2 Pro Anglers per trip this year and is first come first served. 12 or 14's does not matter. At the time of booking let us know if you wish to sign up for one of those 2 PA spots. The two customers that sign up first will be on the manifest as the only 2 allowed to bring a PA on the trip. So please do not show up with a Pro Angler if you did not get a PA reservation.

**All Native Watercraft Slayer Propels are welcome.


Call OEX Mission Bay (619) 866-6129 to book your reservation or any questions.

A friend and I went on the early trip last May and the weather was really, really rough due to a storm that had blown through the day before. High seas, rough conditions...., but it was now of the greatest fishing experiences of my life. The Islander is a really comfortable boat, the captain and crew are excellent, and Rick, the cook prepares great meals (even when he could barely stand up to cook due to the really high swells).

I might not have caught as many fish as I would have liked due to the weather (and probably my lack of experience in fishing SCI), but it was an incredible fishing opportunity and one that I hope to be able to do again this year. And hopefully the weather will cooperate this time!

Can this me mothershipped as well? Would love to do this trip!

[Iceman]

I dont think the Islander or any other kayak mothership operation would want to deal with the PA 17 loading and off loading, davit or no davit! maybe hop on the Shogun 6 day skiff trips with it! that would be a kick!

[batfish]

As this will be my first Kayak trip to the SC Island, I was wondering if any of you veterans would have any recommendations on what to bring, or not to bring? I mainly fish out of La Jolla for Yellows and Calicos would the tackle be the same? Am doing the June trip any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[Zed]

Yes the tackle is the same. Its a socal kelp fishing day. Only difference is the launch.

Newborn-Parenting is far more demanding than I ever imagined..

I already paid the $100 Deposit.
BWE Special, I am willing to eat $75 bucks off it, so it’s only a $275 remainder for anyone interested!
(My spot has also been placed on the “PA Waiting List” FYI)
Contact email for Wade: captainwade(at)hotmail.com to reserve this spot & pay off remaining balance.
This season has already proved to be epic so far & San Clemente Island will be no different..
My loss is your gain!

Yeah, my Hobie paddle had a leash and was attached to the shaft by a yellow velcro strap. I even have my name or Phone number engraved on the blade. Please check if you have a Hobie paddle and send me a PM if you find it. The last time I saw it was when it was on cart number 28 and it wasn't there when I got the last of my gear. Thanks Guys, Mark.

[Rock Hopper]

How was the trip? YTs still biting?

[BIG JOAQUIN]

Yeah, any reports from the 2.5 day trip?

[ful-rac]

Lot's of smaller grade yellows and some up to about 30 pounds. Handful of halibut, lots of bass, whitefish, rockfish stuff like that. Fun trip! Good weather! Good people. The crew worked their asses off for this trip.

[dc1983]

Here are the two bigger ones I caught one was 45 ft and 16 feet of water. I caught the most halibut within an hour before and after the high tide. One on squid the other on sardine. Squid caught one in the afternoon. I was fishing centered on the cove drifting in from 50 ft to the surf and then back out covering as much ground as possible north of the kelp bed in the cover.

Hope that makes sense and helps

That's nice of you to give him the "BIG ONE"!

[dc1983]

I do what I can, at least he is hooked on kayak fishing after this trip and will most likely be back next year with his own gear!
