Hi folks;

We departed at 08:30 hours Sunday morning on the Accurate reels charter with 22 anglers and Jack Neilsen as our charter master. We have a beautiful load of bait and are presently headed south. Our weather consists of 15 to 18 knots of breeze out of the west.

Our excellent group of passengers pretty much took it easy today with most taking naps and then getting up to watch the Super-bowl. Our galley crew prepared lots of goodies for our group to pick from, followed by an excellent dinner after the game. We will keep reporting daily throughout the trip. The R/p crew.

DANIELLE, THE BOAT IS STILL FLOATING!!

Well gang, we have been doing some looking on this trip - but you know how we roll, don't stop until you find fish. We have had good scratch fishing on 80 to 100 lb plus fish with a few bigger which will at least settle the jackpots for the time being.

We still have a few more days to fish and all the gang is doing well, everybody is healthy and for the most part we have had good weather.

I'll try to keep y'all up to date so you can call Lori and book your trip of a lifetime.

We covered lots of water and had a ton of fun doing it. We didn't catch any big Tuna, but we enjoyed some inshore action and the change of pace. The Marlin were up and swimming around and provided some excitement for us. We picked up a nice Pargo and some small Tuna and some other variety fishes for the day. Tomorrow we will be back out on the banks in hopes that the Cows want to come up and play. Wish us luck... "The Intrepid Team"

A great day here on the lower banks. We had fish going all day long today. The action was just short of yesterdays hit of 51 fish, with 43 today, but a better grade. The fish were between 50-120 lbs. We did see some sign of bigger fish late this afternoon, but were not fortunate enough to get a bite from a jumbo. That makes two steady days of fishing on this mid-grade fish with a handful going over 100 lbs today. We plan to sit it out and see if the big-uns show themselves tomorrow. Today's photo is of Marilyn Reece and her big fish today caught a fly lined sardine and crewman Mike Meredith giving a hand to Dimitri Kalsas with one of his nice Tuna caught today. PS... Bud wants to let Dale know "Give Jeff the go-ahead, Jeff get the info to Linda" "The Intrepid Team"

It is proving to be a lot easier to find these fish than it is to catch them.  We were rewarded with 17 fish from 80-150 pounds, with the majority in the 100 pound class.  The weather is still "as good as it gets" and with that said...we'll have a go at it again tomorrow. 

Wish us luck

After two days of travel with seminars and rigging we are ready for Cow Town. We left on Sat. 1/30/10 on our Rod Rack 15 day trip with Steve Volkers (owner The Rod Rack) targeting big Tuna. We have chosen to start our trip on the beach in search of the Big Cows. The weather has been great so far and we are looking forward to the 10 days we will be able to hunt in the pastures. We will arrive at our first destination at 4:00 am and begin the quest for big fish.

Hello Anglers,

Completely different day here again. That bigger fish that we have been doing well on never showed up. We only managed to catch a few smaller grade tuna. The weather is still flat calm so hopefully we can relocate these cows again tomorrow. Wish us luck... JUSTIN

Now 52 and a plumber at Kephart Plumbing, he also does work for Lorton-Mitchell Custom Homes. Charlie Iwashita was born, grew up and still lives in San Diego's south Bay area. At Pt. Loma Sportfishing January 31, Charlie told dock reporter Bill Roecker some of his story about what happened on the 14 ½ day Avet-sponsored trip aboard the American Angler. The trip got 15 cows, including Charlie's three supercows.

Charlie is the first angler in a very long time to hook three 300-pound tuna on the same trip, and maybe the first to hook and land two of them. The tuna weighed 322, 319 and 311 pounds on the boat. He passed the third one to Bobby Gott, the last man aboard not to have hooked a big tuna.

"You sure you want to hand me this fish?" asked Gott. "It's real heavy."

"It's okay," Gott remembers Charlie saying. "Go ahead and take it."

Going Home

As we are enjoying a nice up the line we would like to thank Ben Frazier, our sponsor and representative from Avet Reels and Seeker Rods for all his enthusiasm and the time he dedicated towards the trip. Harry and Sarkis from Avet reels generously provided many giveaways and Joe Pfister from Seeker Rods did the same. Also thanks to Matt Salas from Salas lures who also kicked into the generous prize package.

Also, it has been our pleasure to once again work with Shawn Steward of the "Aloha Spirit" as he is the perfect compliment to the AA family.

Most importantly this trip is what it is because of all the regulars who have made this their annual fishing get-together.

Hello Anglers,

Our good luck continued today with good fishing in the morning and excellent fishing in the afternoon. The morning brought a steady pick on these big tuna and we were able to keep one hanging all the time. When the afternoon rolled around, things heated up and we had as many as six going until dark. Most of the fish are coming on fly lined sardines but some guys are doing very well on the chunk. Like Vince Fathead Otani who picked up his second cow today on a chunk. Auggie Roberts, Bob "Bubbles" Maugh, and Al Merrick also picked up fish above the 200 pound mark. All in all it was a good day to be fishing. We will be spending the night and doing it all again tomorrow.

Wish us luck.

Hello Anglers,

Pretty much a carbon copy of yesterday here on the lower banks. The tuna showed up at sunrise and stuck with us all day. This is not the kind of fishing where everyone has one on at one time, just a nice steady pick with one to three hanging. We hope we can keep this pace up for a while. Here are some more pictures from today.

Slow this morning for us so we opted to go prospecting in search of greener pastures to no avail. We managed to scratch on 40-90lbers this afternoon when we got back to our hotspot to somewhat save the day but had no shots at the bigger fish. We are sitting tight tonight in beautiful weather with high hopes for tomorrow. Jan and the guys said hello Kamell and wish you were here, the seafood is epic.

Today's shot shows Jerry Nguyen with a 222.

Hello Anglers,

We had another good day of fishing on big tuna. The action didn't start until the late morning for us but once they got on us, they stuck. Angler of the day had to be Bill Sands of Valley Center. Bill started off the day with a 208 pound tuna for his personal best. Later in the day he beat that with a 218 pounder. Both fish caught on fly lined sardines. Al Scow "the fisherman's pal" also added another cow to his impressive resume with a 215 caught on the kite. The weather remains outstanding for us so we are going to sit tight and do it all again tomorrow.

Wish us luck.

Another nice day of scratching at quality tuna while enjoying beautiful flat calm weather. We ended up with fourteen fish today, most of which were 150-185 with three over the mark that went 205-230. With lots of time left and a great weather forecast we have no intentions of going anywhere else.

Today's shots show a cow coming over the rail for long time Royal Star angler Greg Fox while Brandon Zimmerman shows off his first deuce, a 225.

Earthy Crunchy

We have been told before that sometimes our do-good stories on our reports can be a little much. Once again Charlie Iwashita hooked a fish when bites were really hard to come by. He landed a 210lb fish which has topped off an already incredible trip for him. He took a break and a few baits later hooked another one and handed it off to Bobby Gene Gott. Bobby is an accomplished fisherman but due to bad knees and choppy weather he has been staying off his feet quite a bit. He got back on them right away when the fish spooled him and the backup rig was deployed. After a long epic battle, he boated an incredible 311lb fish. Charlie who not only has the upmost respect for his elders but has the compassion to go out of his way to help those in need, has compiled an enormous amount of brownie points.

The overall day was frustrating as we had fish all around us throughout the day, but had trouble hooking them and we watched some of our other boats hook steady fish. We ended up with 7 good grade fish and the opportunity to hook a fish of a lifetime was realistic all day.
