2012 Islander Mothership Trips

I call shot gun!!!!

I've never done the 1.5 day trip but I hear from the guys that have done it that you feel rushed, this IS NOT the case with the 2.5day trip. I recall not being in a rush to get out of bed and launch because I knew there would be more than enough time to fish. Speaking of running out of time, I caught my personal best hali (at the time) on my last bait on the last day in the last hour of the trip.

I remember that. I kept getting hit and loosing a fish. Worked the area for a good 40 minutes to an hour. I gave up and you and i think his name was Todd came over that same spot after slamming those rock fish. Some trophy halis out there. Im for sure in on the 2.5.

Just out of curiosity, how much do the 2 or 2.5 day trips cost? I'm interested and want to start saving up

On last years trip I ended up spending close to $700 but that included some reel maintenance, new lines, $50-$60 in plastics that I never used, gas, food(to and from) and tips, the tip alone was $120.

This year we're carpooling and I know what I need and don't need so it should be easier on the wallet.
