Intrepid docked under Mike Pritchard's hand January 6 at Pt. Loma Sportfishing after a ten-day trip with 22 passengers, an Accurate/Izorline trip with co-chartermasters David Choate and Shauna Barton. "We brought 40 loaner outfits," noted Choate. "All the guys got Izorline fill-ups, Spectra scissors and Owner hooks, too. We gave away two Seeker rods and an Accurate BX-600 reel." Skipper Pritchard said, "I've never been down there on a ten-day before. It was good fishing. One evening we had 84 tuna, and they bit into the dark. And we had a 90-year-old gentleman, Norm Moltar, win the sportsman's award." Marilyn Reece of Fresno would have won the jackpot for her 229-pound tuna, but it came on the kite and the rotation wasn't completed, so her fish was ineligible. Still, she really enjoyed the experience. "He went after my flying fish," she said, "and he missed it. He tried again, and missed. On the third time, he got it!" Todd Burkdoll of Visalia won first place for a 196-pounder. He said it came on a sardine and a ringed Owner Super Mutu hook tied to 60-pound Yo-Zuri Hybrid and 80-pound Line One Spectra. He used an Avet 30 reel and a Calstar 760 H rod. Chartermaster David Choate won second place for a 177.2-pounder, and Craig Smith of Brooklyn, NY won third place for a 175-pound tuna.
