Just a note on a 4.5 day trip, as I received a couple questions.  Likely it wouldn't be a Mexico trip.  We'd just spend too much time just travelling.  That being said, we can ask if there is anything "special" that can be done.  For instance, last year on one of the kayak trips, they had a good weather day and went offshore looking for bluefin.  They found some, but didn't end up getting any, and didn't even end up splashing the kayaks in the water.  However, that was a limited load , 12 person trip, and the captain though with that number it was manageable.  I think a full 20 person trip could be mayhem.  But with this crew, who all know each other and work well together, I could see splitting into 2 teams, having 1/2 fish off the kayaks offshore while the rest fished from the boat, then switching teams at some point in the day.    There may be a surcharge for something like this as we'd burn more fuel searching offshore.  Anyways, no promises here, but we'll certainly inquire about the possibility, and it would depend on if there are fish offshore.

That sucks.  We'll miss you.  Please remove them yourself, as you should be able to change your vote.  I have no way of knowing who voted for what.

We should nix the 2.5 day option. 2 days of fishing is just not long enough. 3 days are great, and I think 4 days at SCI would be the ultimate. If we get into 5 days that's gotta be a Mexico trip.

Dang I got the fever now too! Voted for 2.5 and 3.5 day.
If it's a 5-day trip, I'm out though...for that kinda time & money I'd rather do a proper long-range trip on the Royal Polaris or another boat that actually produces.  :smt002

I voted 3.5 and 4.5. Less would be too much work for not enough fishing, more would likely be out of my price range.
Thresher in avatar and Soupfin Shark in signature both caught and pic taken by me.
3rd place Kayak Connection Derby, 2014
45th place / 423 pts / 3 Species - AOTY 2014 (nowhere to go but up!)
30th place / 1132.25 pts / 7 Species - AOTY 2015 (moving up a little!)

Always looking for new people to fish with!

Ding, ding, ding ... 3.5 is up to 20 votes.  We'll give it a couple more days to see if any of the other options pop up.  But hey, we have enough interest to do an Islander trip next year!!!

We board the boat around 5pm.  Load up everything, get situated, pick up bait and travel all night to San Clemente Island.  Fish for 3 full days, anchored at night at San Clemente.  It is an uninhabited island essentially, no docks or structures beyond a couple research shacks. then travel back to SD overnight after the 3d day of fishing.  So the "3.5" day-trip really stretches over 5 days.

And yes, we fish for whatever is happening.  Could be "exotics" like WSB or YT.  LOTS of halibut down there and they bite way better than their northern cousins.  What turns out to be the consistent blast is working shallows for sheepshead and calico bass.  As Polepole mentions, we might be able to do an offshore foray if warranted and with an additional surcharge for fuel.

With El Nino, who knows what might be available at SCI.....or offshore for that matter?

No matter what it's EPIC.  20 NCKA's on a beautiful BIG boat, cabins, food, beer if you want it.  They have a zodiac that will concierge water, beer, samwiches and fresh live bait to us OTW in our kayaks.
