Hi folks;

We departed today at 10:00 hours on the Nakaki Tsujuichi 18 day ride down/fly back trip. This trip is sponsored by Blackwater fishing line and YO's tackle.

It took us awhile to get our bait today because we had to go to many receivers but what counts most is that we have a beautiful load of bait.

After clearing Point Loma we had a safety seminar and then Steve presented each passenger with a brand new custom made 670 Cal-star rod, a beautiful Blackwater vest and tee shirt. The rods were compliments of YO's tackle and Blackwater fishing line.

We are now headed South for Hurricane bank and crossing our fingers wishing for a very successful trip. If anyone is interested we have plenty of room on our next trip, departing April 20th on a 17 day ride down/ ride back voyage sponsored by Accurate reels and SDlongrange (Brandon Kreutel). There is also room on an 8 day trip leaving June 6th, sponsored by Okuma reels. Give Scotty or Andrea' a call at our office (619) 226-8030. The R/p crew
