And on a personal note from Danny Kadota:

Once again we would like to thank all of our sponsors.  With their support,  our trips are successful before we even leave the dock.  It’s a great opportunity for our group to fish the “old school” equipment that has set the bar in Southern California over the years,  and try new innovative gear that will be the future standard.   Every part of our gear plays a key role in our overall experience on the American Angler….

Mustad Hooks have been the standard in So Cal fishing for years,  yet new tweaks ( Ringed, Black Nickel Hooks) keep these”Skippers Favorites” on the top of the list.  Hooks are sent to us in the most utilized sizes we use on an 8 day trip,    and have hooked and landed everything we launch a bait with.

Tady Lures over the years have accounted for the majority of the yellowtail put in the fish hold.   Tady 4/0’s are our bread and butter yo-yo iron,  and the 45’s nail the tails on the surface.  Single hooked Tady 9’s have done a number on the tuna and wahoo though out the years also.

Pacific Fly Group has given us the ability to lighten up our carry on wardrobe,  with shower washable short sleeve jackets, and pants that dry quickly.  On this trip I’m offering those repeat anglers who already have the full “Battle gear”,  microfiber underwear(lightweight, wicks moisture, and washable and quick drying) awesome travel apparel.

I have a roll of Flex Tape for each angler  to remedy  those nagging line cuts that always seem to find us sometime during the trip…

Again,   I’m raffling off 3 of the NEW Accurate Fury 600 2 speeds….6061 Aluminum Billet,  CNC reels really come in handy on our 8 day trip!  That’s  why our anglers are converting over to Accurate,  from yo-yoing, surface iron,  to bait fishing big Bluefin or smoking Wahoo…its also refreshing to have a product made here in the U.S..

Typically,  I thank Lori and the crew after the trip,  I forget how much they do for us prior to the trip!    So here’s to the best crew in San Diego…THANKS YOU’RE AWESOME!

Danny

And from us here at the American Angler, a huge thanks back to Danny for all he does!  We are very fortunate to have such a knowledgeable veteran who remains enthusiastic and passionate about this industry.

We have a couple of days in and then going to mix it up with the local fleet beginning Friday.  If you want to get out there - we have 6 spots left on a 1.5 day departing this Sunday afternoon, June 21st.
