ISLANDER 3.5 DAY - Reports on pg 44!

Is there a chance at Yellowtail?  If so is bait best for them, or those Salas jigs is that for them as well?  I bought a Shimano wax wing last time, but never actually used it and gave it to Andy

Whatever size is the largest basically, hoping for bigger than one ounce, more like 1.5oz probably a 6/0 or 7/0 hook?

Youre looking for warbaits my man.

That's the one!  Thanks!!!

Bring cash for beer tabs, big fish jackpot, fish filleting, and tips.

And cash for Islander gear, too, if you're so inclined.

Haven't heard anything from the Islands yet (I don't really look), but last year there were a good bit of 5-12lb YTs caught.

Of the dozen or so that I witnessed being caught last year, only one came on iron, the rest on bait.  Late on the last day, I resorted to slow trolling dead anchovies because that's all that was left, and ended up catching 2 rats doing that.

Right on, thanks for that info!  Think that I'll plan on bait then for targeting them if they happen to come around.  Few flashy irons for backup as well. 

By the way, I'd like to take room F again, the small one on the aft port side.  I'm a horrible snorer (will have ear plugs though) and wouldn't want to subject anyone to sleeping in the same room as me if possible.

If we're picking rooms, Kiel and I will take E again.

Sure, let's pick rooms.  I'm adding the info to the first post.  So Al, who will be in F with you?

Dustin/Kiel, got you down for E.

Bushy and I will take G.

Are beds the same length? Would hate to sleep half-sitting
