Hi Gang, We departed yesterday on our annual Larry Brown/Avet Reels sponsored 10 day trip. After topping off on a beautiful load of sardines, we cleared Point Loma early afternoon heading south. We then had our introduction seminar that covered the boats amenities, safety equipment, and our game plan for the next few days. Our host, Larry Brown, then raffled off a bunch of free stuff. The sponsors for this trip include: Avet Reels, AFTCO, Phoenix Rods, Booyaa, Shimano, Owner Hooks, Body Glove, Izorline, MDRA, Chuck Byron Art, Sato Custom Rods, Big Hammer Swimbaits, Fisherman's Processing, Five Star Processing, Sportfishing Magazine, Sportsman's Seafood, Western Outdoor News, Fisherman's Landing Tackle, Knot2Kinky Nickle Titanium Wire, Best Fishing Tackle-Hawthorne, High Tide Sportfishing's Holy Hoo, JOAB & HT Jigs, Long Range Sportfishing "San Diego Style" Book, Costa Del Mar Sunglasses- starting 2013. A long list of great sponsors that generously donated a bunch of top quality products. The excitement level on board is very high. We are enjoying a nice ride with beautiful weather. Bill Cavanaugh and the Intrepid Team.
