2011 Islander Mothership Schedule - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

OEX · 11-02-2010, 01:45 PM

The 2011 Schedule for OEX Mothership Trips aboard The Islander has been set.

This year we will be offering several new trips that should provide some awesome fishing.

In addition to the 1.5 day trips to SCI that have become standard, the 2011 season will also be featuring day trips to the Coranado Islands and a 7 day trip that will fish the Mexican coast including Cedros, San Martin, and Sac Reef.

For those who have not done a trip on the Islander, anglers who have been out on these trips before will tell you that nobody does it better. Want the proof? Read the reports from past trips, customers have not been disappointed by this boat and crew.

Trip prices all include Food and non-alcoholic beverages.

3 full meals a day plus snacks on multi-day trips and on the full day it will be breakfast, snacks, and a simple burger dinner.

Trip Prices do not include Mexican permits. These run 15.00 for a day permit. Anglers that have one-year permits will be allowed to use these.

1.5 day SCI~ 295.00

1.5 day trips offer a full day of fishing. These trips are planned to run to SCI.

May 13-15
May 20-22
June 17-19

2.5 day SCI~ 495.00

2 full days of fishing. Departs Friday night and returns Monday morning. Most have found these trips to be a better format than 1.5 day.

June 10-13- Trip Full

*New Trip*- June 3-6

7 day Mexican Coast~ 1,999.00 --- Canceled

6 full days of phenomenal fishing. Cedros should be holding brute yellows and if you ever wanted a 10lb Calico San Martin is some of the best bass fishing you will ever see.

June 3-10

Full Day Coronado Islands~ 125.00

This trip will be departing the morning of May 15th after the 1.5day trip returns. After the kayaks are loaded we will make the short run to the islands where you will get a full day of fishing. After dinner is served the boat will then head back to the dock. This is the perfect trip to get your feet wet if you have never been on a mothership trip before.

To book your reservation on these trips or for more details please call OEX Mission Bay at 619-866-6129.

We look forward to another exciting season of mothership fishing with you.

Will there be any surfing opportunities on the 7 day trip? Jason was trying to do a 7 day fish/surf trip last year and we couldn't get enough people, I was bummed.

If anyone is on the fence about doing a trip on the Islander just do it. Great boat, great crew, and a boatload of like-minded kayak fishing people.

jorluivil · 11-07-2010, 08:10 AM

Definately doing the Coronado trip next year.

robmandel · 11-07-2010, 05:18 PM

no 2.5 day trips? bummer, love those. you can target one thing one day and have another day to change up. 1.5's are awesome too but you almost gotta be single-minded. oh well, i'll book at least one or two. june trips fit my schedule perfectly!!

the turnaround islands trip sounds pretty cool. gets me to thinking...

for those that haven't been on one yet, DO IT!!! the boat and crew are amazing. they do it right. it's not a boat that says "hey, throw a few kayaks on", but the whole thing, top to bottom, is catered to us. they know exactly how to get the yaks in the water, how to get everything rolling, and exactly where to put us. I've done three so far, each one is better than the last.

Siebler · 11-08-2010, 10:00 AM

Rob I was bummed on the lack of 2.5 day too as those are my favorite but just think about what you could do on a 7 day

Siebler · 11-08-2010, 11:39 AM

Just spoke with Shane from the Islander and told him some of us were disappointed by the lack of 2.5 day trips.

He told me that if there is interest we can always change any of the 1.5 day into a 2.5 day (with the exception of the one where we are running the Coronados trip).

Anybody have any input on this one? If we changed a trip to a 2.5 day would you sign up for it?

The 2.5 day format is a much more relaxed trip as you dont feel you need to be on the water every second of the trip to make it worth it.

Hunters Pa · 11-08-2010, 12:44 PM

I'd be interested, depending on date.

as for the 7 day, you can discuss that one with my wife. one day you'll learn about that

:bigg rinjester:

give yourself a few years though

2.5 day in June. would be perfect. if he made both june trips 2.5 days, I might just do them both!!

Quilted Germ · 11-08-2010, 03:54 PM

Where's the destination(s) for a 2.5 day trip? Targeting what and where?
