Just wanted to say what an awesome trip with a great group of anglers. From beginning to end it was something we will never forget. I have been doing this for over 25 years mostly as a crew member. It was a real pleasure to be part of this adventure as a passenger. Can't say enough about the entire crew. They did a fantastic job both outside on deck and in the galley. Thanks also to the company's who provided the many products for give-a ways. Avet Reels, Seeker Rods, Phoenix Rods, Mothers cleaning and polishing products, Fisherman's Landing Tackle, Point Loma Sportfishing Tackle, AFTCO, Lori Byron, Jerry Brown Line One Spectra, Blackwater, Smitty's Belts, Richard Hightower Seguar, Sportfishing Vessel " San Diego", Crystal Pier Cottages, Izorline, Salas Lures, Tady Lures Terrifin, and Judy Collins for buying each passenger an Independence T-Shirt. Thank you all...John Collins
