A summer trip offers anglers fishing possibilities unmatched by any other, with albacore, bluefin, yellowtail and even dorado and yellowfin tuna in the catch. Six days in August means the skipper's options will include fishing anywhere from 50 miles out of San Diego to nearly 500. On a trip like this one, you could wake up to fish a new species in a new location every day!

Join Bill Roecker on a very special six-day Rusty Hook trip aboard Independence. The Indy will depart from Pt. Loma Sportfishing Monday August 10, returning on Sunday the 16th. Many of Bill's sponsors will donate fishing products for use by everyone on the trip, including jigs, line, fluorocarbon and hooks, and there will be many raffle prizes, enough so that everyone will win one or two. Bill will give each angler aboard the Indy a DVD, a calendar, and a copy of the new DVD he and Paul Sweeney will shoot on the adventure.

Donated prizes will include an Accurate reel, a Seeker rod, fishing prints by Peter J, Newport artist, clothing from AFTCO, and dozens of others from Mustad, Salas, Seaguar, Tady, Catchy Tackle, Zucker's, Line One and other manufacturers. The list of donors and products will grow as the time for fishing draws near.

The fishing at the peak of the season should be as good as the prizes. The warm areas will have tropical species in August, and the predictions for a cool water year locally mean that albacore and possibly even big bluefin tuna may be targeted. With six days, the skipper will have all options open, to venture as far south as Alijos Rocks. It could be the best trip of the summer!

You'll want to sign up soon for this fabulous fishing excursion aboard the 112 x 32-foot Independence, before all the spots are gone. The Indy is one of the fleet's best, newest, most comfortable boats. She's well-skippered by four experienced captains, and her crew is knowledgeable and polite, ready to help you connect to the fish of a lifetime, and to assist you in getting that fish aboard. You'll enjoy excellent meals, served at the table in your booth, and you'll sleep in a spacious stateroom in air-conditioned comfort.

So hop on the Indy for a great trip with Bill Roecker! For more info, contact office manager Judi Collins at www.IndependenceSportfishing.com or call (619) 226-6006. This is a good one, don't let it get away!
