Thanks!

For clothing comfort waders are a real plus, & a Wind breaker or breathable splash jacket. It can get windy and cold out there even in May..Layers underneath or even thermals..

Most of those set up will be fine for your Calico pitching, Rockfish and smaller yellows..You wont want a wet noodle rod to horse in those big uns'..Bring at least one beefier set up like a 7-8' /30-40#+ rod with a conventional reel like a Daiwa 30-40SHA. Good line capacity & can stop almost anything that eats your offerings, while providing the proper retrieve speed and smooth free spools for large surface chucking, live bait applications or fast jigging. Really depends on what your primarily targeting & if your going to venture out or hug the Clemente Island coastline? At almost any point you could hook up to a 36# YT & 51# Halibut or a 134# Thresher..

If your already going in May, please support the C.K.F.S. event that runs during your Mothership charter. Only ten bucks to enter. 100% Payout.
