    2023 San Clemente Island kayak mothership?

    Does anyone have any information on San Clemente Island kayak mothership trips on the Islander out of fishermans landing for 2023? I'm trying to book a spot but the trips are chartered and I'm having difficulty finding what people are running the Charters for 2023

    Absolutely insane day at San Clemente Island. Calico & Yellow....

    So me and some friends went out to SCI for some Calico Bass fishing and hopefully yellows. This was my first time out there and holy mother of god what an experience. I made this video of our day if you're interested. It was epic and I'm not trying to sound clickbait-y saying that.

    Barney style, please tell me how to catch Yellowtail off San Clemente Island/Catalina!

    I've been in California for a year now and I've tried everything I can think of to catch one of these fish, I've lurked on the forums and it seems like I've watched every YouTube video and read every blog but I can't seem to catch one! I can't use live bait or troll and I can't go deeper than...

    Rigging Flying Fish

    Hey BD, headed to SCI for a chance to get on those Cows. We’ll be flying the kite but wondering how to rig the leader using the flying fish. Also, how heavy do you guys recommend I use for braid along with the fluorocarbon leader? Thank you in advance for your input. Tight lines!

    Just got back from the Okuma Excel 3 Day trip on Friday. Fishing was tough and the boat stuck it out to try to get the big fish.

    Short Billed Spearfish?

    Was not totally sure on this one since I've never seen one in person. I figured I'd get an answer here. Caught near San Clemente Canyon, water was 72 clear and hit an orange on 4th wake troll.
