Thanks To My Group |
01-23-2012 - The 16 day West Coast Marketing / Avet Reels trip was a great success. I would like to thank the crew (Jesus, Oscar, Paul, Doug, Matt, Ed, Michele, and Captain Jeff). I would also like to thank Mark and Paul for making this trip happen. We had great sponsors on this trip. Yozuri donated unlimited Hybrid line for everyone. Seaguar gave everyone a coil of #100 Premier flourocardon plus shirts / hats for everyone.
Avet reels donated 4 two speed reels for the raffle. West Coast Mkt donated Raiders lures, Raider T-Shirts, Raider Sweatshirts, Yummys flyers, Inside Sportfishing DVDS, Hayabusa hooks, and 4 Graftech 9 ft jig rods and sweatshirts, and Mauraders trolling lures. FIve-star fish processing donated t-shirts and Izorline donated a 2 kg spool of blue. Bloodydecks donated hooded blue sweatshirts for all passengers and crew.
I would like to especially thank my dear friend Richard Hightower of H & H Marketing for helping me with Seaguar Products.
I would like to mention Frank Bartel as the "MOST IMPROVE FISHERMAN" of the trip. Great catch on the 281 lb yellowfin. Thanks again Dave Rocchi for helping passengers on their reels and connections.

Great Return |
01-22-2012 - We arrived today from our 16 day Ozaki, Avet Reel open and weighed up 10 cows along with many other 185 to 197 lb. fish. The over all grade from this trip was excellent, as we saw the whole catch before our eyes. We caught them on everything, jigs, sardines, kite, skipjack, chunks, everything worked for us. Jackpot winners were as follows: 1st place goes to Rick Ozaki 243.2 Yellowfin, 2nd place Tony O’Connell 236.2 all Yellowfin, and 3rd place Louis Marzari 234.1 Yellow fin. Honorable mention goes to Frank Bartel 281.7 Yellowfin. Listing our additional cows, not in order: Jeff Liu 202.4, Allen Smith 200.1, Min Kang 217.6, Arthur Green 205.8, Scott Ocheltree 212.6, Dane Barriault 204. John Graves had a Yellowfin pushing in at 193..Fabulous catch guys. Our trip in January 2013 is now on its way to a sell-out. If you want to get in on this great fishing call in today. Many, many thanks to Rick, and everyone that was on the trip. Looking forward to the next adventure, Jeff and the Indy crew

Weather Update |
01-20-2012 - So much for the good weather. The good weather we had is all gone now, as we have had steady 18 to 20 kts. of wind for the last few days, and it looks to stay this way till we get back to port. Everyone is still in high spirits, movie mode, and is looking forward to Sunday arrival. It looks like a 0600 E T A. so if anything changes we will post it. Sea you all then the Indy crew

We're Back on Line |
01-19-2012 - Hey, here we are, back on line.
Wow, where do we begin? We just got sat signal. And thought we should get up to date. We finished up on the fishing side Tuesday night in a blaze of glory. Rick Ozaki pulled a 240 lb. just before we left the zone, and they were right on the corner biting everything. We have been blessed again with stellar fishing, and good weather. The over all grade for the trip is just awesome, with many, many, 125 to 195 lb. fish in the holds. As far as big ones, I think we have 9 cows and some that might sneak in there. I will say one thing that what ever was biting; the guys took care of business, and put the wood to 'em. We have just a little bit of room left for some yellowtail if we have time on the way home. With 2 wells of r s w fish, and 2 of frozen there is plenty for everyone meeting the boat on Sunday. We had a couple of bingos on the Wahoo, and they all made it in the fresh well. There is way too much to go over day by day, so I will leave it this way, we had chances at cows each day, along with steady fishing for quality all day long. All had a great time. We will give you all a report as to when we will arrive in San Diego on Sunday. Thanks for checking in on Jeff, the Indy crew and us

Travel Day |
01-09-2012 - Travel and prep not much to report as we have been driving, and driving, and rigging. Weather-wise things are good, as 10 kts. of wind is all we have seen in our travels. We are going to start this adventure tomorrow, as we are getting nearer to our spot. If all goes well, and we have signal for the sat phone we will report again. Please wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

First Trip of 2012 |
01-06-2012 - Hello and happy New Year from the Indy. Yesterday we departed on our annual Rick Ozaki, Westcoast marketing, Avet reels 16 day extravaganza. With a great load of bait, and some well-seasoned anglers we are headed down to the grounds with high hopes for the trip. As always Rick has quite the raffle / giveaway planned for today, as rods, reels, line, jigs, clothing will be received by all. The weather is good, with a large swell, and not much wind to go with it. We will start the rigging project later today, and continue for the next few days.
