So cool to see forktails in the Islander count! Looks like an epic trip. The Islander is the best.

Fishtraker · 06-23-2013, 05:39 PM

How much is it to go on one of these trips.

echo1er · 06-23-2013, 06:14 PM

jorluivil. no GoPro on this trip?

kaya_one · 06-23-2013, 06:56 PM

Awesome pictorial and maybe I'll be on next year's to share the glory. Love the 3-tail trifecta pic - that is a memory to last a lifetime!

T-Rex · 06-23-2013, 06:56 PM

Nice photo log! Good to see that you found the right kind(s)!

theluckypig · 06-23-2013, 06:59 PM

that was the trip to be on!!! next time...

StinkyMatt · 06-23-2013, 07:25 PM

The GOOD:

Frank busted his YT cherry.

George caught a fish! Damn! (Actually kicked ass like 2008)

Greg caught more fish than he could secure on his kayak.

Stan kept his streak of YT alive ( with the worlds smallest YT

)

Eric fished a total of 5 hours and took home an ice chest full of exotics.

Greg's incredible videos kills above and below the surface. Simply I amazing footage.

I only got 3 Hali's, one of them my PB.

The BAD:

George caught many fish, undeserved bycatch using the wrong rod, dull hooks, bad form and overall lack of finesse.

Frank catching Halibut from the boat while kayakers around him were getting blanked.

Frank asking what this "fish with a white belly and a yellow tail is called". While holding his first ever YT.

Eric's feet. I have never smelled anything so bad in my life.

Frank' GO PRO skills. Yes Frank we do want to see the sky! ( post it up!)

It was a blast. It was nice making new friends. See you all on the water.

awesome! looks like a trip that produced and allowed you to shake off the skunk

Iceman · 06-23-2013, 07:41 PM

Nice score!

DanaPT · 06-23-2013, 07:52 PM

super stoked to have gone on the trip. The crew was good, the guys on the trip were better. The fishing was as good as I could have imagined. All sorts and sizes of fish. All sorts of firsts for me.

A trip worth repeating.

Thank you to the fellas who allowed me to learn by observation.

see you at a launch real soon!
