Islander 2013 Recommendations
Please, whatever you do, keep your comments civilized and respectful of other anglers, the OEX team and the Islander crew. For me, here's what I have from last years trip: Cons: assigned bunks/rooms boat appeared to be overbooked meals seemed to get smaller(compared to 2011) skiff operator was fishing while yakkers where looking for skiff service bait that was being provided by skiff operator was small(one yakker asked for squid and was given/offered roughly 3-5 pieces of cut up squid, I was offered the same when I asked for it) Birds sh*tted on me twice. Ok, I know they have no control over this one but I thought I'd share it anyway ![]() Pros: We were allowed to pick our roommate, this made Roby happy ![]() Rope to tie down the kayaks during lunch was provided....HUGE PLUS FOR ME BECAUSE I FORGOT MINE!!! The meals that were provided where hot and ready Suggestions: During the 2012 session prizes where given away. Perhaps, they can do the same for the 2013 trips but rather than give them away they can sell raffle tickets and donate the money to the deckhands. Offer a second helping of food for an additional fee Start a lost and found box. I lost one of the removable pants leg from some convertible Columbia pants. If the boat is scheduled to depart at 2200 and all anglers have arrived by 1800 than the boat should depart. This gives the Captain additional time to scout the fishing grounds. If I think of any others I'll add it later.

Cons....
I won't be there Frank will be there Matt will claim to have caught your fish, and give you a guilt trip about it until photographic evidence is presented. Jorge will be snake bit and go fish rockfish The bent rod stan will steal your yellowtail, and switch it with your bigger one Your kayak will become part of the island You will find Kobra bobs weed but have to give it back CJ might be there Ericko will sleep all day and fish for 1 hour and still win jackpot

Pros....
Tony won't be there. This way you will leave with your own stuff and not have to go to Downey or Bellflower to get it back. Frank will be there. Matt will claim to have caught your fish. Jorge will be snake bit and go fish rockfish The bent rod stan will steal your yellowtail, and switch it with your bigger one (since I caught the first, biggest and the most. ![]() ![]() Your kayak will become part of the island (sucked) Ericko will sleep all day and fish for 1 hour and still win jackpot (ChuckD and TheBentRod won the Jackpots) ![]() Fishing at San Clemente! ![]() Cons, None that fishing at San Clemente won't cover. |

As respectful as I can be.
The meals were simply amazing in their quality. The meals need to be larger. You have a bunch of guys working outside all day, they want to eat and eat real big. There should be an option for seconds or increase the portion size. This was a very common comment by several fishermen. Booking a boat for 24 kayaks, GREAT! Adding a bunch of divers at the end made it a little more crowded then it needed to be. Divers' gear took up most of the upper deck. Did not understand about assigning bunks without knowing who is friends with whom. Leave it first come first served on the bunks. Despite the few cons, can't wait for the next trip. P.s. I'm putting a tracking device on all my fish....just in case there are any mishaps. ![]() |
