Hello Anglers, Today we departed on our annual Brad Merritt 10 day charter. We have lots of familiar faces on board and are eager to get to work trophy hunting. We cleared Point Loma around 1200 in calm seas. We have a great load of sardines, and are making our way south. After a quick safety seminar, passengers are keeping busy rigging up their tackle, using the internet, and telling fish stories. Jason and Richie are busy as well preparing tonights cuisine: Grilled NY steak, potatoes, and asparagus. And don't forget the German Chocolate cake for dessert;) Wish us luck. Justin
