First off, Yes guys youll want to be there by like 6 so that the crew can load all the boats and get out of there at a decent time. There are a good amoutn of poeple on this trip which means a lot of gear to load.

Second, I currently have 4 open spots if anybody is interested. Folks had to drop off meaning that anybody who wants on could do so.

one time we left at 2:00 and did not get there untill 6:30....
4.5 hours of hell!
after that trip, we always leave here (Woodland Hills) by 12:30 at the latest...leave plenty of time for freeway madness!

Called to pay my balance yesterday and they hinted of a closure for most of the island this weekend :mad:

Confirmed the intel here....

Anyone got more info on the backup plan?

Any :wsb:in Cat right now?

the worst case would be having to go to Catalina...
other than that...
we'll roll with the punches and fish our brains out no matter where we are!

I'd rather fish what little area is open at SCI and not have to deal with the boat traffic at Catalina.

Roger that!
that's why I said...
worst case...
we'll have the time of our lives no matter what!

I am in for the trip...gonna bring my lucky fish catching magnet...

Anybody have a rigged tandem I can borrow?

We will try to keep the deck free of blood... ya right ...:D

uh oh...
there goes the JP!
we don't stand a chance against the famous Clay the fishcatcher!

Looks like 5-6 miles on the leeward side are gonna be open at least. I'm pretty much an SCI noob, so I'll leave it up to the Captain.

Yakrider is right, tho...no point in stressing over it, Let's just fish! :reel:

I had a 1.5 day trip cancelled in May so I'm in for either a 1.5 or a 2.5 day trip, preferably a 2.5, but June is not good for me...it doesn't look like any other trips are scheduled after June. Any talk of plans for an Islander trip in September/early October to Cortez or SCI?

GOOD NEWS!!!
I just checked the SCI link and it appears that a second section of the island has opened up to the public.

So glad I left when I did, I heard the south bound traffic is horrible!!
