Owner mark Pisano and skipper Jeff DeBuys took turns driving the Independence on a five-day trip that returned to Pt. Loma Sportfishing June 13. Sponsors Avet, Sav-On Tackle and West Coast Marketing put many prizes on the boat for big yellowtail, and the anglers responded by catching about all they needed.

"We fished at Cedros and Benitos," said Pisano, "but not much offshore. We had very nice weather."

A pair of dandy white seabass took the top two spots in the jackpot. The best one was a 41.4-pound caught by Sam Esposto of Burbank. Sam baited a mackerel on a 4/0 ringed Mutu hook and a dropper loop with a 16-ounce weight.

He said he fished with 60-pound P-Line and 80-pound Line One Spectra on an Avet Pro 30 reel and a Calstar 765 L rod.

David Taylor of Sav-on Tackle won second with the other white seabass, a 41-pounder. Dale Lethcoe of Sunland took third place for a 36-pound mossback yellowtail that clamped down on his Salas 5X jig in red, white and black.
