2013 Islander 2.5 Day Trip - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

StinkyMatt · 06-23-2013, 07:25 PM

The GOOD:

Frank busted his YT cherry.

George caught a fish! Damn! (Actually kicked ass like 2008)

Greg caught more fish than he could secure on his kayak.

Stan kept his streak of YT alive ( with the worlds smallest YT

)

Eric fished a total of 5 hours and took home an ice chest full of exotics.

Greg's incredible videos kills above and below the surface. Simply I amazing footage.

I only got 3 Hali's, one of them my PB.

The BAD:

George caught many fish, undeserved bycatch using the wrong rod, dull hooks, bad form and overall lack of finesse.

Frank catching Halibut from the boat while kayakers around him were getting blanked.

Frank asking what this "fish with a white belly and a yellow tail is called". While holding his first ever YT.

Eric's feet. I have never smelled anything so bad in my life.

Frank' GO PRO skills. Yes Frank we do want to see the sky! ( post it up!)

It was a blast. It was nice making new friends. See you all on the water.

Very very nice! So this is what you guys do while I'm stuck away from the water out in El Centro...

steveooo · 06-23-2013, 08:36 PM

Looks like an epic trip!

Hate to jump on this thread, but just wanted to say thanks to OEX for chartering the trip and to the Islander crew for a unforgetable trip and to the fellow kayaker, it was great learning from you and watching you guys fish. My son (turned 10 last month) and I had a blast. Sorry Matt, we got unbelievably lucky (little kids luck, I guess)

. Hope to see you guys out on the water soon. Here are some pictures...

StinkyMatt · 06-23-2013, 09:15 PM

You and your kid rocked!

As long as I didn't lose the Jacpot to George it's all good. I hope your son knows that Dad gets to keep the money as a "Guide fee".

Congrats to you and your son on a great fish.

I'm going to jump on this thread also if you don't mind .. finally got home from work yesterday, and quickly put some pics and random clips of our kids together in a short video. No fancy video editting, no big fish.. but still, a very good time for us. First time out.. we'll get our halibut or yellowtail next year.

I forgot to add this pic to the video on the 2nd yellow but this was the hook set, one small hook was all it took.
