Islander
Thanks OEX for setting this up and the cool schwag and Islander
 As usual great service and doing your very best to put us on fish-all Calico hunters had plenty of action and a few flatties caught as the photos show and some lost  That's right I lost a good one right at the gaff-forgot to back my drag off and splash on the face and gone-The whole boat was watching and shared my pain. Thank god nobody had a video camera then- I can still hear my cry  echoing off the lee side of SCII can't go this weekend or I would jump right on. I know some guys couldn't make it and that's the way it goes but please try to support them in the future-they need us and there are only certain number of us crazies that can do these trips. Also they do a great standup operation so when the tuna show give them a try you know they will treat you right. Also I hear a rumor they are setting up a late October 2011 SCI or Cortez Bank trip-I already called OEX and tried to sign up-he who hesitaes is lost  Thanks for the reports and photos and great company on the trip. Dave

I spent both days hunting calico bass, no rockfish, no halibut, all bass. First day started out great, with a 4.75lb bass about 5 casts in, but I couldn't improve on that as we battled then wind.
Second day, conditions where much nicer, but the bass where a complete no show in the morning. The afternoon was slow but good enough to keep me in the kelp, nothing weighed but 3lbs seems about right for the best this day. Was a great trip, exhausting but great. Very cool bunch of guys. Have to tip my hat to Josh and Mark, who were very free with pointers and tips for the less experienced calico hunters, and great fun on the water. Hell, I was even mayor for a time, but the terms are short! If I can swing the fall trip, I'm in, but regardless I will be back out next year for round 2. Thanks to OEX,the boys on the Islander (seriously, these guys work hard keeping 18+ kayaks moving), and my fellow yakkers, who all made this trip memorable. First Day, first fish,  Misc fish  Josh with one, 0.5 seconds before it destroyed his thumb!  First day scenery  Proof I was there  More scenery  Lunch time pit stop  followed by a shout of "Five Dolla!"

It also was my first trip out to SCI and I have to say the it was the best boat and crew I have ever fished with. I got a few calicos on the first day but didnt take a pics of the donkey that I caught first thing cuz I figured it would be WO all weekend. I did get plenty of taco meat for the freezer tho and I will be back.
Second day fish was a earned one      GOOD times Joe |

Wow! another stellar adventure put on by the Islander crew...
the weather coulda been a little better, but all in all..not too bad... always good to put a face to some of the names we see on the boards... great to meet some new friends as well...Paul, Brian, good to fish with you guys...we must do it again! Saturday Dave E first off the boat!  Pierpont and I were the next ones in... we headed straight for the boilers... and on my second cast, I was reminded why I wait all year for bass fishing SCI...Boomskakalaka...5 3/4 lber on the second cast...   graeat way to start the day... kinda pissed Mark off, but he was rewarded shortly there after... see the smile a nice tugger puts on a guys face... how can one not be happy whilst a pullin" on a early mornin' tugger...  not to be outdone, another 5 1/2 lber...BOOOYA...  and then, on the next boiler, almost a new PB for me... so close...I need a 7 lber for a new PB, this one was 6 3/4lbs... and he almost pulled me into the boiler, were it not for the Mirage drive, I'd have been swimming...  and then, I was realling in my swimbait, and the line goes slack... I'm snoozin' big time, and then suddenly realize, hey...that might be a fish! sure enough, a bullet headed right for me... this one's for you Anacapabob! 7lbs of pure devilstick!  the conditions were not right for the surface action on the slug, howver, I did manage to bag a few on the iron, nothing huge, but it's always cool to get 'em on the iron! the dang fish were just barely bigger thatn the Tady 45...  another 5 lber...  and hows 'bout a cabazon (I think)...really cool lookin' dude!  another happy camper...  more boiler action, 4lbs even....  and another...  that was Saturday, all in all there were 47 calicos, 2 sugarbass, 1 baracuda, and one cabazon...all succesfully released... oh...and I took mark's five dollars with my 6 3/4 lber... Sunday slow or practically non existant uphill current early in the morning was good for a handfull of calicos...Pierpont in the weeds...  then the current died... thought what the hell, lets go get some taco meat, so we whacked a few chucks...   didn't take too long and the current started uphill again so we moved back into the kelp and in the shallows...200 feet sucks! ah yes...back to the bassin'... this is AZYakNewb, AKA Brian...really cool guy from Arizona came out to see what all the hooey was about on these here mothership trips... Brian love to git him sum largemouth bass and couldn't wait to pull on a nice calico...I guess he got er dun! REally good fishing with you Brian!   the last few hours of the day were spent bhuckin' plastics right up on shore...man...only at SCI can you fish for calicos in two feet of water... it's unbelievable how much fun it is to fish so close to shore... I've been on several trips where guys have had that experience, but this was my first time...man...that was cool!  say good by little guy!  I cannot wait to get back there again...there is nothing like it! oh...and Mark got my five dollars on day two with a 3.5 lber! |
