Islander trip

[FlyinRyan]

Rough seas on the way out was an understatement, I biffed it hard on the deck during the swells with the new coat of paint on deck first night. Tried to crash out around 10, hard to sleep while levitating in bed for five hours! Finally did and slept through my alarm only to wake up to the last call for breakfast!!! Scarfed some pancakes and sausage and launched around 8 to some breezy conditions, fishing was great. Several quality calicos and it was time to fly line a sardine on the slow troll. Two bonito and many raked baits later it was time to try a bit on the bottom. Pounded the bottom till lunch for nada. Burgers for lunch and back on the water. Fist two fly lined sardines were picked up by bonitos before I could put the rod in the holder so I switched to the dropper loop and again in seconds was hooked up on my only yellow on the trip. Went out deep to check out some boils which turned out to be a seal with someone's lost yellowtail, drifted back in doing a bit of rock fishing an found a few Boccaccio. Finished of the day back at the shore line for calicos. Good food, good fishing and good company! Have to do the 2.5 day trip next time for sure!
