Islander 1.5 day gear recommendation
So I put deposit on 1.5 day in may. It's my first and will be brining my mini x.
(not sure if that's enough kayak) Anyways what do you recommend for gears to bring? Not only fishing gears but any comfort item/clothing recommendation would be very much appreciated Thank you, 45 |

The most common fish there is Calico bass and halibut. You may also run into some yellowtail or white seabass.

So I will be bringing 20-30lb gear for fish would that work? Phenix Psw 760ml with avet sx for 20lb set uo and psw 760m with avet mx for 25-30lb set up. Also with psw 808mh with lexa 300 HSP for another 20lb set up. Will these be sufficient?
Thanks! 45 |

For clothing comfort waders are a real plus, & a Wind breaker or breathable splash jacket. It can get windy and cold out there even in May..Layers underneath or even thermals.. Most of those set up will be fine for your Calico pitching, Rockfish and smaller yellows..You wont want a wet noodle rod to horse in those big uns'..Bring at least one beefier set up like a 7-8' /30-40#+ rod with a conventional reel like a Daiwa 30-40SHA. Good line capacity & can stop almost anything that eats your offerings, while providing the proper retrieve speed and smooth free spools for large surface chucking, live bait applications or fast jigging. Really depends on what your primarily targeting & if your going to venture out or hug the Clemente Island coastline? At almost any point you could hook up to a 36# YT & 51# Halibut or a 134# Thresher.. If your already going in May, please support the C.K.F.S. event that runs during your Mothership charter. Only ten bucks to enter. 100% Payout. For More Info on C.K.F.S. Event #4: http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...ad.php?t=16364

Great tips Wade. I would suggest bring extra food, you will get hungry.
