Hello everyone, we back out after a six week maintenance period to keep the Independence in tip top shape, she is looking great and ready for the long season ahead. It is hard to believe this is our 12th season running out of Point Loma Sportfishing in San Diego!!! Boy does time fly!!. We have the Rick Ozaki/ Avet reels group out with us for the next 16 days; we took on a very nice looking load of bait from the receivers at Ervingham Bros. Bait Co. In San Diego, it has been very tough bait hauling lately and big thanks go out to all the crews that keep us going with plenty of bait. As a bait hauler I for San Pedro bait Co. In San Pedro and Newport it is sometimes a thankless job but one that we must have to make so. California sportfishing what it is. We are headed south in good weather and the group is in high spirits in anticipation of the upcoming days of big fish hunting. Wish us luck and we will report as the trip progresses. Take care, Mark and the Indy crew.
