[TUNAGUY]

well after a season of working on the sherrita im ready to do my first long range trip and i love calico and yellow tail fishing and im thinking of doing a skiff trip!
and i was wondering if any bd have done one of these trips or knows much about them i saw the won article about it but wanted to know more info!

and to see if it would be worth it?

Went down to San Felipe to fish with Gustavo on the ERIK. We hit the midriff islands and had a blast Lots os Yellowtail and cabrilla. Not sure if this is what you were talking about but if it is you should give the ERIK a shot.

I dont think Brian Simms and the Q105 have any skiff trips until next spring.Mark at Performance Tackle in Los Alamitos has one planned for next June.The trips are really good and Brian knows the islands real well (Cedros and Benitios).

Talk with my bruthas Mikey, Duke and RDRRM8E/Chuck

They go on the Q105 every year for a 7 day Calico trip skiff trip... Seems they always catch hundreds of fish!

Been there too...

Went last year ('03) and am planning on next year as well. Excellant trip! Very laid back, all the amenties the Q offers and a ton of fish to catch.

whofish what the kinda gear you need for one of these trips. and what the the deal they bring the skiff down and you fish the islands for the calicos and stuff but what do you do if its not ur turn on the skiff is there good fishing on the boat?

[bertram31]

Ya they have four skiffs.You go in rotations of 4-6 hours.Yes the fishing from the 105 is good also.They usually go with i think 16-18 guys on the boat and each rotation does about half the passengers.Call Dena at the 105 office and sometimes Brian Simms is there and he will be more than happy to fill you in.

I didn't bring anything over a 40# jig stick, mostly Calico gear, although they're not too line shy down there. Think I fished 20#/25# mostly. Some guys fished a little lighter. Next year I will bring a little more heavy gear in case we find some tuna on the way down and/or back.

As I recall they had three skiffs; we'd do a four hour or so rotation and the trip was limited to 18 - 19 guys. Some days I was on the skiff for two rotations and a couple were only one rotation. The big boat stayed a little further out and there were only nine or ten guys left -- plenty of time for naps, cocktails, etc. :jo: Fishing was decent from the big boat for yellowtail, etc. Brian would go find us some fish to chase after the skiffs were launched.

It's a real laid back no pressure type of trip -- great food, in-shore anchorage at night and plenty of rail space. Think about fishing a 105' boat with only (9) guys on board...
