Hello Anglers,

We departed yesterday on our annual Braid Products 16 day trip. Just about everybody was on board the night before for Jason's Thanksgiving Feast on the Excel, which has become quite the popular event. Since everyone was here, we were able to get an early jump and leave the dock around 0630, get our bait, and clear the point by 0930. We have a good mix of passengers from veteran "Long Rangers" to first timers wanting to see what a long range trip is all about. For the next couple of days, we will be traveling south preparing our gear. There will be a couple of seminars to give a little bit of info on what to expect and what to have ready. As of right now, the weather is beautiful for the ride down and we hope it stays like this for a while. Wish us luck.... JUSTIN
