A few spots remain available aboard the Independence on trip number 11. Bill Roecker will be shooting a new video with the Baja Paddy Hoppers aboard the boat, and the trip is scheduled so Alijos Rocks and Guadalupe Island will be possible to visit. The trip runs from July 23 to the 29.

Roecker's sponsors can be counted on to provide some great tackle for prizes and giveaways, so everyone on the boat will get some goodies like a new Accurate reel, the latest hooks from Mustad, fluorocarbon from Seaguar, line from Izorline, hardware and clothing from AFTCO and jigs from some of the southland's most famous jig makers like Salas and Catchy Tackle, including trolling jigs from Zuckers.

The new moon will be coming up, which should be prime time offshore for bluefin and albacore tuna. All factors point toward some excellent fishing. Everyone aboard the trip will get a free DVD of the completed video, something to show your friends for years. Talk to Judy in the Independence office soon if you want to jump on with Bill and his cameras on this very special fishing trip!
