ISLANDER 3.5 DAY - Reports on pg 44!

Sheepshead and especially whitefish have small mouths. Not all have small mouths.

you sure got a purty mouth 

F-U bro.

F-U bro.

At least say it in Spanish it's so much more sexier   

Woohoo, payment sent!
I have sooo many lures for this trip. And I KNOW I'll probably buy a grip more at the Fishermens Landing tackle shop!
This time, I aim to be the last one off the water at least twice. Gonna maximize my time. Plus, I'm going to catch a 60lb bluefin...just a heads up!

We'll see about that...

Shots across the bow, homie!!



I see you

 
This is gonna be a super long haul for me so I'm looking to cram as much fishing in as possible. Right now my plan is to stop in Monterey and fish 5/28-29 and then head south and fish La Jolla and/or Ensenada 5/30-6/1. Anybody down to chase YT before the boat leaves?

Sonny, can you PM me your paypal address or some way for Kevin to get you your deposit money, please?

No hurry.  You can give it to Howard/Hojoman.  He'll be on the same trip.  Thanks.

If there's a hot bite going on I may fish Thursday morning....but I'm usually in chill mode pre-departure.

Is he around south bay? If yes and if we can manage to hold all the gears in one car, I am interested. Thanks!

I'll check with him.

49 days!

Medium fast action/medium light power rod has good bend and just enough backbone. Would be a blast to hook into a nice yellowtail or bonito with this set-up. 

Nice setup!  Although I think that setup would be definitely fun to use, if fishing near structure where you need to worry about the YT breaking you off in kelp or rocks, that ML trevala will be a bit under-powered in my opinion.  I've seen this exact rod in action hooked up to a 20lbish tuna and it totally lacked the backbone needed to turn the fish.  The rod would just bend over and you couldn't turn the fish.  I would imagine it would be the same on a 20lb YT running for the kelp, but not sure. 

Damn, still envy all you dudes going on this trip...its gonna be a blast!!

Thanks for the advice, Won. After having Derik hang off of the tip of the rod I did feel as if it was just a bit too lite, so I traded in the 30/50 for the 50/100. Still a medium fast action and medium heavy power. Probably better for trolling than anything else I have. I feel like I missed a lot of my live lined bites on the slow troll last year 'cause my Lami was too stiff.
