Hi Gang, We departed on our annual Larry Brown 7-day trip shortly after 1000. We stopped at the bait receivers and put on a beautiful load of straight sardine, mixed size ( 4-6 inch and 5-9 inch), and cleared the point just after 1200. We had our intro meeting and tackle seminar just after lunch covering rigging and techniques for the fishing days to come. This was followed with a very impressive raffle by our trip host Larry Brown. Everyone on board came away with some awesome swag. The raffle consisted of products from the following: Avet Reels, Phenix Rods, AFTCO, Berkley, Booya, Shimano, Izorline, Penn Reels, Body Glove, Roboworms, Abel Luggage, Owner Hooks, Baja Fish Gear, Friends of Rollo, The Wine House, Costa Sunglasses, Chuck Byron Art, XTRATUFF Boots, JRI Custom Lures, Realistic Wraps.com, Fisherman's Processing, Big Hammer Swimbaits, Western Outdoor News, Five Star Fish Processing, AA Worms/Optimum Baits, Best Fishing Tackle - Hawthorne, Fishermans Landing Tackle, Knot2Kinky Nickel Titanium Wire, Hightidesportfishing.com, and Long Range Sportfishing " San Diego Style" Book. Our weather was gorgeous all day. Our chefs prepared an amazing prime rib dinner to top off a very enjoyable day. We are excited about our prospects. Life is good on the Intrepid. Wish us luck, The Intrepid Team
