2.5 day to SCI on the Islander - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Baitman · 06-25-2013, 05:32 PM

It was hilarious watching Sin Coast get towed. Looked like he was halfway to Catalina Island as the night crept in.
There were a lot of really great fishermen onboard this trip. I learned a lot from these guys. Calico's were the mainstay, couldn't keep em off the hook, no matter what we dropped.
I was using a Big Hammer in about 25' OW. I think I had a halibut on,, but it charged straight into the kelp and snagged, right about then my other rod (which had a live squid on ) went bendo pulling me away from the kelp. That snapped the line on the first hit,,, I got a nice lil sleigh ride, only to come up with a ray....

The Islander crew was great. I couldn't belive the yak side service they provided... Snacks, Beer, Live Bait !!! It don't get any better than that.

Pat, you still owe me a shark steak

Epic on that rod reel combo. Congratulations man.

I'm going to be coming up to Monterey the 10th-14th. Bringing the yak with me. Probably fish friday and saturday possibly at stillwater. Come out and join me if you can. Anyone on here in the MB area is welcome and encouraged to join. The more the safer right?

Stillwater is good for lings / rockfish, but your timing couldn't be better for salmon that recently have been showing up close in to monterey. Mooching has been delivering the best results.
Halibut finally starting to make a show there too !

I'm in.
