I could have went, but why bother. Not much biting. I will go tomorrow. I need some ceviche for the game.

You will meet down at the boat around 6pm and once everything is stowed away and checked in - they will push off to SCI-

You will get back Sunday Morning AM-

Yes S12 if fine for the trip

The Islander schedule is already a bit more booked due to the great expected early fishing in the spring/summer. If there are some cancelations we may get in another trip on the books.

The Fishin' Magician is all signed up for the 1.5 day trip and looking forward to it! If the fishing stays as hot as it's been, hopefully the yellowtails will show up and cooperate. I could use a few more fish fillets for the smoker!

619-SWIM-DOG · 04-01-2015, 09:52 AM

What time does the 2.5 day depart? I have to put in leave at work.

lbsurf2ca · 04-02-2015, 07:30 PM

Not 100% but I Remember getting down there around six and the boat departing at 8pm.

I'll likely need this info as well. Hope the trip runs for sure. It's been a few years, i can't wait. The way fishing has been this year it could be epic.

GregAndrew · 04-03-2015, 02:51 PM

I am hoping for Tuna on the trip.

Will any additional information be forthcoming regarding the day and a half trip on the 15th? Anyone have tips on what to bring and what not to bother with? While I've fished on the Islander before, this is my first mothership kayak trip and not sure what to bring and what to leave at home. Anyone been on one of these before who can provide a heads up? Thanks!

FlyinRyan · 05-07-2015, 07:24 AM

This will be my first kayak mothership trip as well. Figured I would bring everything but a sabiki rig. Just like any other day I'll probably use two out of five rods!! Just hoping the weather is a little bit better than it is now. See you there!!

Fishin' Magician · 05-08-2015, 05:13 AM

Okay, this is what I've been able to find out so far. Arrive at the landing around 6:00pm. Park in the main lot to unload (30 min. free parking) and then go and park on the street or in the lot across the street. Bring everything that you would normally use to kayak, (battery, fish finder, net, gaff, etc...). There should be live bait available (may not know for sure until we get on board), but bring lures, plastics and iron just in case. The crew will help load and unload the kayaks.

Not sure what else at this point. Should be a lot of fun and a new experience as long as the weather (and the fish) cooperates.

See you on the dock!

Definitely bring some halibut rigs. There are some slobs in the area. Since a lot of you will be first timers just ask John or Shane for advice on some good hali spots depending on where you guys end up.

Also make sure to bring some Irons. SCI has been hot spot for yellows this winter and spring.

Hopefully the wind wont be to bad. Spring time is always hit or miss and with the way the island is positioned finding protected spots can be difficult.
