Trip to Makoville

Just got back from Gonzaga yesterday - short, but awesome trip.


Got to Camp at noon on Saturday to pretty decent conditions.


Tempted to go out, but instead cleaned up camp and got settled...


Got my sleeping arrangements squared away, and set up the Solo Skiff for fishing fun...


Sunday woke up to massive wind and huge waves. Nobody was going to fish that day, so we made good use of the time by completing the solar system for the place and getting solar panels mounted and adjusted. Now the camp has plenty of power for freezers, radio charging and vacuum sealing.
Monday the weather was just a slight breeze with light chop, so I head out to the island 5 miles distant at sunrise...


Fishing was fun, threw a flatfall at a boiler rock for awhile, until I got distracted with the outboard tiller and let it fall too far into the rocks and lost it. Tied on a Rapala X-Rap and started getting hammered by the Triggers. Because of the single hooks, only the bigger ones managed to get hooked...


Trolled around for awhile in the lee of the island where the water was flat calm and really enjoyed the scenery...


Just south of that picture is a rock outcropping that was teaming with Sierra and started having fun with them, Just kept two to bring home...


Thought about heading over to La Poma island in back of Isla San Luis, but I had been out there nearly 4 hours and had not seen any other boats, and I did not want to head back there out of radio range all alone. Wondering where the heck everybody was, and since it was my turn to cook dinner for the group, I came in early to find this.


The quad was completely dug in and high centered. Helped get Sivak's skiff launched, and while I was prepping the smoker for ribs, he and Mako Bob were on the back side of that island hammering the roosterfish. They counted more than 50 of them swimming under their skiff and managed to land a few. If launching the skiff was a cluster, landing it was a fiasco. Quad got stuck again trying to pull the skiff and trailer out. Before we could get Dave's truck down there to rescue everything the waves crashing over the transom flooded the boat. No pictures of that since it was all hands on deck to get it out.
Dinner was awesome, dark nights under the stars counting satellites, awesome. I was so bummed to wake up on Tuesday morning to flat glass conditions and I had to go home because of work today. Already figuring out when I can get back to paradise...
