San Clemente Island

Reports are looking real good for the Clemente trip. Reports of good numbers of Yellows at the island this week.
Most coming on live squid and on the Yo-Yo iron. This should be  a blast, I can't wait.

Thanks for the report.

I'm gearing up. 

If a guy were going to buy 4 or 5 irons, what would you suggest as the best size/color/brands to bring with for the water we're going to be fishing?

Also, what kind of depth range would we be likely fishing?

Good question Erik! I was going to wait until I got down to SoCal before I bought a bunch of stuff. I did just spot a six pack of 4/0 circle hooks for $2.69. I think I'm going to pick up a couple of packs.

I'm eager to hear what Jim says.

CHEERS!

Mahi and the others heading to SCI.  Check out Big Waters Edge.  I saw 2 recent topics for SCI on the Islander.  The one dated 5/27.  The guys got a sweet bag of fish, only 1 YT and the crew caught that one.

GREAT PICS!!!!!

That report is by our local fella, goldenarrow. He posted a report here too.

I'm certainly no expert, this will be my first time fishing for YT, but I was down in the O.C. a couple of weeks ago and stopped by CharkBait to talk to the guys about what I should take with me on the trip.

The guy I spoke to (didn't catch his name but he seemed really helpful) suggested I take a couple of Tady 9's in blue/white and a couple of Sumo Jr.'s in "Scambled Egg".  He also pointed out a couple of X-RAP's that he said would work...Dorado and Green Mackeral.

I hope his advice pays off.  Even if not, I'm sure we'll have a great time on the trip.  I'm really looking forward to heading down and hanging with a great group of people.

If I could only have one iron there it would be a Salas 6X Jr. in Blue and White.

Does anyone know aq local shop that carries those? I don't recall seeing them at Fishermans warehouse...

Where those X-raps the really big ones?

Bill the tady's and the sumo jr.'s were definetely at fishermans warehouse and I believe I also seen the x-raps.

I should have kept the box, but didn't....they're about about 8" long.

There is a tackle shop right at the landing that will have everything you need.

Great thanks Jim and Pacifico!

I am going crazy with anticipation!

Guess I had better pay off the AMX so I can load up!
