Judy Collins in the Independence office tells us that our trip aboard the boat is nearly sold out. Only two spots remained as of last weekend. The trip promises to be a lot of fun, with some chances at larger tuna in the 50 to 100-pound range; either bluefin or yellowfin, depending on what's biting. Bigger yellowtail are probably a given. A plethora of prizes and goodies for all will be distributed by Bill Roecker And Paul Sweeney of FishingVideos.com, from sponsors like Accurate (a new reel), Zucker's, Salas, Calstar, Seaguar, Catchy Tackle, Mustad, AA's, Izorline, Peter J, and other sponsors of Bill's Sportfishing Calendar and book At The Rail: Long Range Fishing.

The trip will be shot in hi-definition 1080 P video on Bill's professional gear, and a DVD will be made of the underwater and on deck action with comments by the skippers and crew and anglers. All anglers will get a free copy and a bag of prizes in exchange for a signed video release. With big fish biting in three or four hotspots already, this trip promises to be one of the season's best summer adventures. Call the Indy office, and jump aboard to fish with Bill!
