Islander 2.5 day trip report!!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

JoeBeck · 06-03-2012, 06:25 PM

Great trip! Very relaxing out there and I found a lot of solitude. Didn't hook into any halibut, got my rigs jacked by a few leopard sharks but all was fun. Also the calico bass fishing was as always out on the island..... Awesome!!

Good bite Friday morning and wide open for me on Saturday morning.

This guy was a 20 inch toad

Loved this

and all and all my family still had a great meal tonight

and there were some good halibuts caught just not by me

Great meeting new people and seeing others I have not fished with for quite a while.

Other than Calicos, it was pretty tough fishing both days given the only 2 parcels of coast the Navy allowed us to fish. Luckily, shortly after lunch on day 2 they ceased operations on the south end of the Island and let us boat, paddle and peddle into Pyramid Cove. In just a few hours we doubled our Halibut count for the 2 days when we boated 3 more over 20#s, and quite a few sheepshead. Acres and acres of bait schools, with nobody but Sealions feasting on them. The place is ripe to explode.

Joe,

I learned the new regulation says you can't fillet sheepshead ... but you didn't have to cook it whole ...

I kidd buddy. That was fun ending the night like that.
