Islander 2014 - REPORTS

Just gor back from Vegas I'm already packed. don't forget your toiletries and ocean enhancment stamp....

How 'bout you don't forget your toiletries.

Are we there yet?
I haven't been to SD since boot camp almost 23 years ago

Well,  then we expect you to do some ceremonial push ups using only your lips.

3 days to go!

I just checked the military schedule.  It looks like on the 7th and 8th, much of the water around the island is closed except areas B and F.  I think B is the area on the Lee side that we fished last year and F is the area on the windward side that we fished last year.  On the 9th most of the island opens up except the far northern tip.  So we may be able to fish the Pyramid Cove area this year.

For those of you who care, looks like we'll be fishing between the 1st quarter (June 5) and the full moon phase (June 12).

And the tides are showing us a sunrise high on day 1 of fishing.

Just reading that made my stomach turn.   

yeah, have a blast you guys.
feast on some fresh hamachi, slay some sheep and barndoors, CPR some toads, and just maybe catch a ghost or a T-shark for good measure.

I look forward to the stories when ya'll return to port.
  bon voyage!

Are there any reports from the trip that went out at the end of May?

Im sorry but 97% of CA halibut don't qualify as barn doors.  There isn't any barndoors in the AOTY CA halibut catches.  A barn door won't fit in your net so technically I havnt even landed one yet because my 49.5"er was netted.   Just sayin..  Have fun and catchabigone.  Im jealous for now...
