By Gary TeraokaFishingComments Off on Calstar 6-day, Red Rooster 3, Sep 22-28 2017
All the anxious anglers arrived early, loaded their gear on the Red Rooster 3 and took off an hour early. We loaded up on a fantastic load of 6 inch sardines. Andy Cates decided to take us to The Ridge so we had a travel day. That gave us time to prepare for the yellowtail and yellow fin tuna fishing. Calstar provided some of the latest model rods for the passengers to use and Accurate reels provided a couple of BV2-500 reels that I combined with Calstar 800M rods as fully configured demonstrator outfits. At the end of the trip we had limits of yellowtail, limits of yellowfin tuna and limits of dorado. What a fantastic trip. We caught fish everywhere we went.
In support of this trip, I want to thank Calstar Rods, Accurate Reels,Izorline fishing line, Salas Lures, Tac Glue, Baja Fish Gear and Sportsman Seafood fish processing for supporting this trip with generous products that the passengers really enjoyed. I will let the following photos tell the many stories of this trip. I hope you enjoy seeing the joy that all the passengers experienced. One passenger (Pamala) was on her very first fishing trip. She landed one of every species that we were trying for (yellowtail, yellowfin tuna, wahoo and dorado). Congratulations Pam.
If you would like to join in the fun next year, please give the Red Rooster 3 office a call. Maria will be happy to sign you up for next year.
