Islander Mothership SCI 3-31-07

Looks like fun trip Chris, nice write up. A big yello' or white would have made it imaculate. At that place, that is always a possibility.

I will definitely be on one of these trips... If you guys will take me.

Yeah, this place is nice... The JP was a 9 lb Sheepshead... I agree with Dave, this might be one spot that the one day slam can be achieved...


Off Topic: BWE Mod is there a picture limit to posts? I used the [img] [/img] tags for the first pic, when I go to post, it just looks like a URL...?

DId you try for the sheeps Chris? I love those things. Did the boat have squid? I've still got a freezer full of humbolt if not. Hope we can get enough people to go. Long range forecast looks pretty good for next weekend.

I really didn't try for the sheeps, I went outside looking for the right kind... as stated, huge bait balls of sardines... The boat had live sardines, that was all the bait barge had... Dines were being chomped by something out there. I also was able to make some nice greenies...

Squid strips would be a good idea for sheephead, rockfish etc...

I was hoping to get a variety of plasticman points, so I didn't use any squid... besides, my swimbait was nailed by calicos each drop!

Adi, I thought you fixed the picture limit!!!

Hmm, not sure what up with that 1 pic not showing?

It's not the limit on mumbler of pics - see the FT thumbs I added on the bottom.

I just edited your post an added the exact same URL with the [IMG] tags - the pic is now there?!?

I think it may have something to do with the space you seem to have out in your folder name on PhotoBucket - "Islander 03-31-07"... Since you can't have empty spaces in the URL, it gets replaced with the %2... MAybe that freakes it out... somehow? I dunno...

So don't use the space in your URLs...

Looks like a blast, gotta get on one of those trips this summer....

Fun times. Sure looked like it could go on the outside. Settled for bass.

After a year off from chucking kayaks around the boat, the Islander crew had it going on. Even smoother sailing for upcoming trips. This mothership season should be the best yet.

Check out this chunk checker Pierpont dredged up. 7.75 lbs on the boga.

Why wait?

Seriously, the fishing can be just as good this time of year as in the summer. Come summer LJ will be poppin, but now is a great time to hit up the islands. The YT are showing as well as WSB, and it is usually all the calico/whitefish/sheephead/rockfish you want. The summer trips are almost full or sold out, but these April trips will sail with as few as 12 people.

Yes, I am shamelessly plugging these trips cause I wanna go, but also because Shane and his crew have really gone out of their way to cater to the plastic fleet. They had custom racks and a custom step made just for the kayaks. I know Brent at OEX and Shane have worked hard to keep the cost minimal, even with the rising fuel prices. If they are able to consistently fill trips, i suspect we'll see more of the boats begin to cater to the kayak nation, which means more opportunities for interesting fishing.

rant over.

Chris I looked and there is no reason for your first photo not showing, so your conclusion of a limit would seem correct. I am sure Adi will fix this
