If you got a few minutes to kill, here is a link to Drew Gregory's show that he did at San Clemente while fishing from the Islander.

About halfway in he makes a really good point. At some point you will need to make an important decision as to whether you are going to target big boiler calicoes in shallow or try your hand out deep for yellowtail, wsb, etc.

I watched that Drew Gregory show and it was pretty good. Since I was watching it on my bigscreen via youtube using Chromecast, I queued up a bunch of random San Clemente Island kayak videos. Then sat there and watched like 40 minutes of SCI action!

This one is pretty cool. Shows a bit of how loading up goes and a bit of the boat.

I really wish I could go on this trip.

As far as parking goes, I found parking in the parking lot where the boat leaves was about $10 less than the dolphin for the entire stay.

Do the math and see what is the better deal. It could be different this year.

This one is good, too. This is from the trip that Polepole and I hopped on last year. This guy's halibut won him the day 1 jackpot and the WSB won day 2 jackpot.

He only kept those two jackpot winning fish. I thought that was so gangster!

Cool dude, too.
