"A day of rigging is starting," wrote Red Rooster III skipper Andy Cates November 25. "We have very nice weather and enjoying the calm and warm conditions. We did a nice seminar this morning on tuna fishing and decided to start our trip down at the Island. We will have another day of travel and then be in the buffer zone.

"West Coast angler has sponsored the trip and we had a nice giveaway yesterday. The trip will include daily Jack Pots as we go. We have distributed the Accurate reels for the anglers that need the reels and the Okuma reels as well. Thanks Jack and John for the reels; they will be a great use for the anglers."
