Just got back lfrom a 1.5 day on the Islander. First off I want to say the boat was worl class, great food, great crew, great time. They really go above and beyond.
We went way south got on a paddy around 6:30 am by 7 am the entire boat was limited on small YT and then catch and release until 7:30 wide open anything you put in the water got hit. I went to irons and hookups and was getting lit up.
After that we headed back north to go after the BF. We ended up getting two BF on Kites with Yummy Flyers, pulled names from a hat and both times I wasn't drawn. First fish was probably around 100 second more like 150. The bite was hot on the kite we were stuck 5 times landing the two. Then around 5pm it just died. Captain John kept us fishing until 9pm but we just couldn't get them to bite. He said the schools were a 1/4 mile long the BF were everywhere.
Great trip we decided to split the BF between all the anglers before we left the dock Tuesday night. All in all it was a great trip and I have a lot of fish in the freezer. I highly recommend the Islander they fed us like kings it was a great crew. After these BF get posted up I am sure they are going to be filling up quick.
Sashimi for dinner!
