I was able to offload without feeling rushed, check and re-checked my gear, went through my bags to make sure I didn't forget the Tums, grabbed a bite to eat, chilled at the docks for a while and was good to ready when they started loading.

Here is the map of the open areas for the next 2.5 day trip. Looks like most of the island is open! Hopefully the weather cooperates!

Siebler · 06-04-2012, 02:19 PM

Looking forward to the trip! We got payment from most you but if we havnt please call. Because the trip is full and we had people cancel last second on the previous trip we want to be sure to get anybody who is going to bail off the list so we can shuffle in the waiting list asap.

Looking forward to fishing with you guys, This is a realy good group going, most everybody has fished together on one of these before by looking at the list.

And day of, I should be at dock by probably 3-330 id say so if anybody needs help ill be around.

TheBentRod · 06-04-2012, 04:17 PM

Paid in full! Let's get this party started!

That's cool CJ. I'll let you carry my stuff down to the boat.

Deefeesha · 06-04-2012, 05:29 PM

Heads up:

We had issues with our power outlet in our stater room. So if you plan on charging your gear make sure you check the outlet to see if it's working. I had to fiddle around with the prongs on my plugs to make sure it makes contact with the electrical contacts inside the receptacle. I used a charger with a charging-indicator light to test the outlet or just touch the charger for warmth.

Hope this helps.

1 day and counting....
Looks like the wind will be blowing this weekend but I like the reports of yellows at Clemente.

robmandel · 06-20-2012, 09:49 PM

there's good news and bad news

http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=46086

Conditions at 46086 as of
(9:50 pm PDT on 06/20/2012)
0450 GMT on 06/21/2012:

Wind Direction (WDIR): WNW ( 300 deg true )
Wind Speed (WSPD): 11.7 kts
Wind Gust (GST): 17.5 kts
Wave Height (WVHT): 5.2 ft
Dominant Wave Period (DPD): 12 sec
Average Period (APD): 6.4 sec

that looks pretty bad. 12-18kt winds, 5 ft swells at 12 seconds. that's gonna be a bumpy ride. but...

water temp is 64.

further offshore...

http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=46047

Wind Speed (WSPD): 17.5 kts
Wind Gust (GST): 21.4 kts
Wave Height (WVHT): 6.6 ft
Dominant Wave Period (DPD): 11 sec
Average Period (APD): 6.1 sec

18-20kt winds with 6-7ft swells at 11 seconds. yeah, that's not gonna be fun. been out in worse at catapalooza, but that's probably coming in to the island. and just getting on and off the boat will be a thrill ride. unless he can get out of it on the lee side or inside pyramid cove.

there's some great fishing on the front side, and I would think that we'd be pretty protected in tight to the front side.

either way, shane and john are top notch and will have a great game plan. see y'all tomorrow afternoon.

Sounds like we're going to have to earn it

wiredantz · 06-21-2012, 06:51 AM

Alright George, Tony, Erick, matt, let me know how that weather plays out. I will be setting up my new HM 597 Hm Di. While you guys are having your cookies tossed.

GregAndrew · 06-21-2012, 07:38 AM

With the wind direction WNW you should still be able to fish Pyramid cove beaches at least. That should put you on some nice Halibut. Front side has had some of the best YT fishing I have ever had too.

ful-rac · 06-21-2012, 07:40 AM

Bring it on!!!! The rougher the better!!!! Jorges next youtube video of him puking on roby is gonna be great!!!! Yellows Here we come!!!!

As always weather.com is never accurate for what we do.

Thanks to the Islander captain and crew. I would recommend this boat to anyone for fishing, diving, sharking and any other need to be on the water. This is a full service operation and is top shelf. If I need to go long range I will sign up with these guys for sure. Although the weather was not ideal. We found some yellowtail (up to 25lb) and halibut (up to 35lb). San Clemente is a great place to fish from a Kayak.

CJ - Thanks for putting this together and I am definitely going next year.

Chuck D · 06-24-2012, 04:21 PM

I second that BentRod

The Islander trip was hands down the best offshore fishing trip I have ever been on. The crew was super professional and always willing to lend a helping hand. The food was phenomenal and always available whether we wanted to eat on the ship or eat lunch on the go. The captain was not only super knowledgeable, but was very personable and always out with the crew helping out on deck as well. He also made me feel more comfortable on board then any other captain I have rode with answering any questions or concerns you may have. I feel the best part was the community everyone had on board and respect everyone had for each other. This was my first year and everyone made me feel welcome from the get go. Lastly CJ you are not only the man for setting this up, but I greatly appreciate all the help along the way on the trip, always there to help as well. Hands down best trip ever for me, I will surely be back next year! Thank you Islander!!!!
