Islander Mothership SCI 3-31-07

Went to San Clemente Island this weekend on the Islander... If you havent been on the Islander, sign up today! OEX has several trips, and they will fill up fast!
The Islander crew is first rate, and makes you feel welcomed from the second you get on the boat. Good eats: breakfast, lunch, and dinner!





Had a nice sunrise, fished the weather side, nice conditions... First three casts got bit on Calicos... Decided to head outside with PAL to look for some of
the right kind... found big piles of dines, something pushing them up, but couldn't get them to go...



Thanks to Tommy of Unigoop to hook up all the anglers with unibutter for the trip.... Helped with my Plasticman points!



Pretty much WFO calicos, if you like to Calico fish this place is loaded!!! Here are few pics...



Those weren't even the biggest, Dave Easton said he released one about 6lbs, below a nice 4lber... At one point it was a fish a cast...



The crew will bring you beer, bait, water, food on their zodiac, door to door service!



Plenty of nice coastline... with kelp, water blue, endless visibility...



We had a spot of Yellows come up right next to the boat around lunch, of course I was too far away, but one the guys got one on an Iron.



This place is ready to go wide open.. One guy went on a slay ride early, he sawed through kelp, but it came unbutton.

Outdoorscribe writer Paul Lebowitz clean cut!



Thanks to Won magazine, Shimano crew, and the crew of Islander for a fun trip!

Chris

Looks like a fun trip Chris. Thanks for the report. Love the zodiac beer delivery service!! That's awesome! Will they bring you a double cheeboyga to? Will definitely have to hook up for an Islander mothership trip.

Too bad the yellows didn't want to play much. San Clemente has some bigguns for sure. Some nice calicos you got there though.

Very timely, Chris. I'm signed up for the Islander Mothership leaving 4/27. Hope we end up at SCI. Thanks for the write-up.

Yes they will bring a cheesburger- they did for me- no need to get on the boat-if you don't want to--No BS 12 straight hours on the water for me- I don't know if my arms are tired from the paddle or from the bass--
Get on one of those trips guys-what a spot-when the water warms up the California slam is a real possibility there.

Nice write up Chris. I can hardly wait. I got one confirmed and two probable trips on the Islander lined up.

I talked to Brent today and he said we need a few more to sail this weekend. I think Chris "Razorback" and I are confirmed pro staff, but you never know who else might show. With LJ stuck in a current-less rut, now would be a great time for an SCI run. The calico fishing is always crazy out there and I get a big kick out of the shephead and toad whitefish. I usually spend the first hour meat fishing in the kelp, and it never ceases to amaze me how stocked that place is.
