San Clemente Island (2.5 Day Kayak Mothership Trips) -

Trip Summary

San Clemente Island is what all southern California kayak anglers want their local fishing grounds to be. It is the super sized equivalent of the coastlines that run from Santa Barbara south to the Mexican border.

Fat chunky monkey Calico bass roam here along with giant California halibut slabs, huge goats (California sheephead) and of course the yellas. You can basically do it all here.

Bring Your Own Kayak

This trip requires you to bring your own kayak and kayak fishing gear. We do not rent kayaks on this trip.

No Hobie Pro Anglers or ultra-wide kayaks are allowed on these trips. This is a rule of the Islander and is in place to protect the crew and to minimize the number of kayaks on the deck.

Fish Village Payment Plans

Did you know you can work out a payment plan with us to put this trip within reach? We want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to fish our amazing trips. Since we sort of run things around here… we say payment plans are cool.

Payment plans only work when there is ample time in between your booking and the trip date. Fortunately we usually announce our trips with plenty of time to take advantage of this great program.

For questions, please send us a trip inquiry.
