Another great trip to SCI; woke up Sat. morning on the lee side to flat calm conditions. Crew had 21 kayaks in the water in less than an hour. Bonita were close to the island and thick, big bonnies up to 10 lbs. Lots of checkerboards on the big slug baits, chovies and dines. Yellowtail were breezin but didn't want anything we offered. One was taken on a mack (15 lb.). Sport boats were gettin em with the candy. Several small halibut were taken. Slight breeze in the afternoon made it a wookout gettin back to the Islander. As usual the Islander crew were on their game, top knotch service, the skiff guys did a great job of haulin bait and transporting fish back to the Islander. Trip highlight for me was when the Islander was making a move down the island thay spotted a big school of yellows and tried chumin them up and called us in. Picture 20 kayaks trying to corral a school of yellows..... but no biters. Richerd did another great job in the galley with chili sizes for lunch and pork loin and veggies for dinner. That's my report.... Waitin for the next trip! bosco
