The Independence docked this morning around 6:30am. We had very good yellowtail fishing. Dan O'Leary of Point Loma won first place, for a 45.6-pound yellowtail he got with a homemade iron. Al Sundell of Malibu won second place for a 36.6-pounder, and Tom Redfern of Newhall took third place with a 32.8-pound yellowtail. By 11am Captain Paul Strasser did a quick turnaround and headed back out with another group of anxious anglers trying for their personal best for that once a year fishing trip, but first stopping off at the bait barge to pick up a load of fresh cured bait. Dick Shaffer of Purfields Tackle is heading up the show for this trip. Lots of give a ways to be handed out to all the Anglers on board. Thanks for Checking in our website. Tomorrow we will report on our first day of this 5-day trip. Captain Paul, Kyle, Tommy,Sean, Mike, Ed, and Rollo
