AVALON TUNA CLUB (101310)!!! The five-day annual Tuna club trip aboard Independence returned to Pt. Loma Sportfishing October 12 with chartermaster Casey Dodge of Rolling Hills and 18 anglers. The club rules for fish catching on the trip didn't allow for fish caught south, and Guadalupe Island wasn't available, so the winning fish came from only 50 miles below San Diego, said skipper Mark Pisano. Joe Davis of Newport Beach won first place for a 24.2-pound Yellowfin Tuna. He said it bit a sardine on a 2/0 Eagle Claw hook tied to 25-pound Big Game fluorocarbon. He used 30-pound Spiderwire on an Abu Garcia Revo Toro reel and a seven-foot Fenwick rod. Jack Byers of Santa Barbara won second place for a 24-pound Tuna, and Eduardo Ribas of Rio de Janiero took third place for a 22.2-pound Yellowfin Tuna.
