Islander 2.5 Day Trip - Report on Page 21

Not sure if Ben and I are heading down the day before, but if we do we'll also be staying at the Dolphin.

Not sure about camping, but I would definitely not recommend Campland on the Bay in S.D.

booked Saturday night at the Dolphin.  Probably leave early and  cruz down the 101 and camp on the beach somewhere, I wanna test out my new roof top tent.  Never been to Refugio, anybody know if there's a dedicated number of drive in sites (campsites already booked that Friday)?  Uncle Lapu Lapu told me that he camped in Ventura in his RV last summer.  Any other suggestions (backroads, forest service roads near the coast to pop the tent) to break up the drive?  Haven't driven down south in forever.

Not sure "if"? the oil ever really got cleaned up but the paper says so;

El Capitan SP is just down the road and has campsites.

Some tips after this last trip.

- Bring your own frozen squid and a way to keep it cold. The Islander did not have frozen squid this year.
- If you're a cereal eater bring your own cereal and milk. In the past they've had both. They didn't have either this year.
- Label your dry suit or dry pants.
- Bait tanks rock!
- Polepole's suggestion of bringing a tube of Neosporin was money. It actually helps a lot with the pain/swelling I get in my fingertips.

Mo' later.

Some more Q&A.


The address of the dock?
- 2838 Garrison St, San Diego, CA 92106
What time we need to be there to load?
- Between 5 and 6PM.
What we need to bring regards to license(s), cash for pots, cooler(s) and sizes, etc.?
License w/Ocean Enhancement Stamp (DFG was at the Island last weekend), jackpot entry was $20 a day. You can bring a small cooler on board, but keep it in your room. Bring a big cooler to leave in your car to take your fish home. You'll also need cash for your galley tab, fish cleaning or filleting if you choose, and tip for the crew.
What time we get back to the dock?
We'll be back at the dock at 6:30AM Wednesday morning.
Anything we need to know.
90+% of the YTs caught on the 3.5 day trip were caught on fly-lined sardines.

Good info... but what about Wasabi and Tamari for the YT? Does the Islander provide?

stoked...thanks
