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.

Booked my trips.

2.5 day and the coronado. This will be my first mothership trip. Also my first trip to both islands

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 :biggrinjester: :biggrinjester: :biggrinjester:

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.

Bellcon - damn that video's funny... and so close to reality it's scary!
