I called a bit late to signup...2.5 was already full.
I'm 7th or 8th on the waiting list.
I forget who I spoke to but, they said they're waiting till after the FHshow to see if they have enough to convert one of the 1.5's to a 2.5.

I'm planning on calling next week to see...

I'm glad I booked my space when I did which was a few months ago.

Yep somewhere in that neighborhood.

We discussed this a bit with Shane at FH Long Beach and I would guess we will figure out exactly whats going to happen by the end of the month. It will most likely be the 7day on the chopping block however because all the 1.5's seem to be filling while the 7 day is not.

food4less562 · 03-22-2011, 09:55 AM

If the next 2.5 day is June 3-6, definitely count me in.

Siebler · 04-04-2011, 10:59 AM

Hey guys, we are gonna do that 2.5 day trip instead of the 7 day. All those interested call me. I have a waiting list of about 14 people im about to start calling so I think this thing is gonna fill up pretty quick

Siebler · 04-04-2011, 11:52 AM

First post was updated with all that info as well guys.

TheBentRod · 04-07-2011, 07:20 AM

AquaticHunter · 04-08-2011, 11:04 PM

I'm in. I left a voicemail message. PM me or ask TheBentRod for my number.

Hunters Pa · 04-30-2011, 07:47 AM

DAMMIT!!!! Used too many vacation days during the move.

I just guaranteed that the trip I WOULD have been on is going to be epic.

Have a blast!

jorluivil · 05-14-2011, 02:53 AM

Anyone have a clue what the average spending cost is on the 2.5 day trip? I already paid the cost of the trip so I'm just curious to know if I need to bring$ 100 dollars or $500 dollars?

that all depends on how much you drink!

I don't drink so I'm sure that alone should save me at least a benjamin

yakrider · 05-15-2011, 06:30 PM

seriously though...
extra cash is needed for tips, whatever your drink tab is, and for fish cleaning if you keep fish...(please remember to CPR calicos)

my fishing cohorts and I use this theory for tips on sportboats:
$10.00 per crew member per day...
one cook, three deckhands = $40.00 per day..
this is on top of the gally tab and the fish cleaning...
I have been appauled on sportboats by the lack of tippage from some folks..the crew on sportboats work their butts off...
and they only make tips! if cheapskates don't tip, they make no money...

another theory I have heard some use is 15% of the cost of the trip...
$495.00x15%=$74.00 that works too...

I like the $10.00 a guy per day theory...

Great video !!! Too funny,i think we all have had that same conversation with the misses.

Hunters Pa · 05-16-2011, 08:22 AM

The guys on the Islander work their butts off to give you a quality experience. Remember that with the kayaks it is a limited load, so less passengers to tip. Tip heavy!

jorluivil · 05-22-2011, 07:16 PM

Anyone from the LA/OC area booked on the 2.5 day trip on 5/10? I'm looking for a carpool dummy....I mean buddy to share fuel cost.

dorado50 · 05-22-2011, 07:24 PM
