2012 Islander Mothership Schedule - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

OEX · 01-19-2012, 01:13 PM

Here we go! If you've done these trips before, you don't need any convincing. If you've never done one, you owe it to yourself to get on one of these trips, they are unlike any other kayak fishing experience. As always, live bait, food and sodas are included in the price. Beers and tips are additional. We did have a $15 price increase on the 1.5 days this year. Sorry guys, they've held it off the last three years for us, but finally had to bite the bullet. Price on the 2.5 day remains the same though.

1.5 day trip
May 18-20 Fri-Sun

$310 per person

2.5 day trip

May 31- June 3 Thurs-Sun
June 21-24 Thur-Sun

$495 per person

And we have had some changes to our booking process, so take note of the following:

When you call to register your spot, we will take a $25 non-refundable deposit. The only exceptions to this refund are if the trip does not run (due to weather, or lack of sign ups, or what have you) A week or so prior to the trip, we will contact you for the remaining balance. Once the remaining balance is paid, that is also non-refundable. If you'd like to pay more than the $25 deposit, that's up to you, but it will also be non-refundable in the event something comes up that keeps you from doing the trip.

Sorry to get so official about it, but we don't make any money on these trips and we've had a lot of cancellations and transfers and what not- that cost us money every time we run a credit card, so this helps us out on our end, and may help a trip run if a couple bucks from cancellations is the difference between running and canceling a trip. As always, we'll do everything we can to fill your spot if you do need to cancel, so that we can refund your deposit, but that is no guarantee.

I've got the fire extinguisher next to the phone, light it up and get your name in quick! We're doing less trips this year, to ensure they'll run, but they could fill up quick!

Made my reservation.......I've never had to kiss my wife's *ss as much as I did just 5 minutes ago. The last words out of her mouth were, 'You owe me big time'!!!!!

I'll surprise her with a new kayak

INGRIDSDAD · 01-19-2012, 03:02 PM

I made my reservation +3.

Got a couple months to clear it with the wife.

Devildawgjj · 01-19-2012, 04:18 PM

I need some convincing!!! I don't have ammo to give the wife. (tell me how it works, experiences, etc.)

I would like to go 1.5 or 2.5.....

Dude, just do it - ask for forgiveness later. I'm and EOD tech in the Army and I'm gonna catch hell for leaving for any other reason - but this is soooooo worth it!

mazilla · 01-20-2012, 01:27 PM

I wish I could spend that much time on a boat without puking my brains out...as is I have to use medicated patches on a half day outside the bay, I can't imagine a solid 1.5+ days.

I want to go sooo bad...

for appetizers, snackies and dinner..

YakMedic · 01-19-2012, 02:49 PM

Sweet, just put in for the 2.5 dayer. Thanks for setting this up guys.

wbrewski · 01-22-2012, 04:22 PM

Great boat, can't wait. See you all May 31

If anyone is going and fly fishes it will be a ball.

Siebler · 01-23-2012, 12:16 PM

FYI guys these things are booking up FAST. If you are at all thinking you want in better call asap!

The rate we are booking at I would say both remaining trips will run for sure, we are less than a week in and almost half full on both, just a few shy of going for sure.
