I have an 18’ monarch bay boat with 115 outboard also. I fish the oil rig and break wall all the time. I need to build the courage to hit the island. With a scoop from nacho, I might as well make it worth my while. Thank you for the video.
@@mr.k9935 I’ve been crossing that channel for about 15 years. Definitely pays to know how to read the forecasts and local winds. When in doubt don’t go out haha. Squid was 80 bucks plus tip!
great videos, thank you. I'm all fired up to hit the Islands, have you ever camped on Catalina island, or just anchored or got a can (mooring)? Have you made the run to San Clemente yet,? or Santa Barbara Island?
Yea I normally camp either two harbors or the boat in sites but I have found just sleeping on the boat cuts down the amount of junk I have to bring as well as set up time, anchoring and swimming back and forth. I have been to those islands just not on my boat yet. Next weather window
Hey brother, when you stay overnight out at Catalina, do you go into Avalon and get a more or do you anchor up somewhere? I plan on going my first overnighter at Catalina this weekend.
Depends on the weather conditions and where on the island I plan on fishing. It is always nice to get a mooring and have dinner in Avalon if you dont plan on fishing at night and arent far away haha
I just always fish 3 on mine in California, I have been told by multiple people you can fish 5 in salt water but I haven't done the research on that. I just use the same fresh water rigs in salt so I don't bother re-rigging them anyways.
Niiice and those calicos are delicious, I just had some yesterday lol
They really are!

Fishing alone?!? Take me with you 😭
haha I dont want to torment people with the 18 ft skiff life
😂@@fluentfishing
@@fluentfishing I'm down to go on your 18' boat. Heck, mine is only 16' 😂
I'm always reluctant to fish the island solo, your vid gives me a little courage. What was the price for the squid?

Yea same principal, if you fall over it will kill the engine. I carry a handheld vhf but a beacon isnt a bad idea!
Yeah bro, lmk i got gas money lol
Hey fisherman how many hooks are aloud on the A rig in open waters?
