The morning went very
well at Alijos Rocks today, we finished
the trip off on an up note with good
action and some quality yellowtail and a
few Yellowfin tuna. We put 30 yellowtail
in the 18-35 pound class and 15
Yellowfin tuna in the 25-35 pound class
in the hatch this morning and released
another 30-40 yellowtail in the 8-12
pound range. Conditions at the rocks
where very nice with very good fishing
current and 68.0 water temperature, we
saw very good sign of yellowtail and
fair sign of yellowfin tuna in the short
time we where their. We are currently
traveling towards San Diego on the last
leg of our journey, the weather is 12
knots of Northwest wind with 3-4 foot
seas. Our current speed will have us
arriving in San Diego harbor at
approximately 0730 on Sunday morning and
tied to the dock at Lee Palm
Sportfishers right at 0800, please check
our web report tomorrow for any updates
to our ETA.

Last night was
pretty choppy in one of the
traditionally rough areas on the
Baja coast outside Cedros Island. We
experienced 20-25 knots of North
wind and steep short chop making the
ride very wet and uncomfortable for
about eight hours, by 0900 things
began to calm and we are currently
enjoying a flat comfortable ride.
Our ETA to Lee Palm Sportfishers was
unchanged during the unfavorable
weather and we are currently on time
and on schedule for an 0800 arrival.
We look forward to getting in to see
all family and friends at the
landing in the morning. Once again
we would like to thank Joe Pfister
and Seeker Rods for sponsoring this
annual 15 day trip and Jack Nilsen
from Accurate Fishing products for
loaning us his exceptional big game
reels. The anticipated first place
jackpot fish which was caught by
Steve Morse at Hurricane Bank on our
first day of fishing and was
estimated on board at 256 pounds and
landed on a Seeker 6463XXXH rod
matched with an Accurate two speed
twin drag 80 reel. Steve will not
only be receiving the benefits that
go along with winning first place he
will also be awarded the highly
coveted Seeker Rod Trophy for the
largest yellowfin tuna landed this
trip on a Seeker rod, the
presentation will take place at the
scales in the morning once the
official weights have been
determined. We will see everyone in
the morning.

For those of our customers who
have been wondering what we've
been up to the Red Rooster III
is in port right now using the
time to do some remodeling and
general annual maintenance on
the boat.
This includes a complete
Interior cosmetic over haul
upstairs and down stairs. Some
of the changes will include new
wall paper, upholstery, and
carpet and the replacement of
newer more updated items
throughout the vessel.
We like to keep everything on
the Red Rooster III up to date
with the latest state of the
art technology, and insure that
we provide you with maxim
comfort, convince and a visually
appealing vessel, which helps to
create a tranquil atmosphere
of fun
and relaxation during your
vacation trips with us.
We should have it all finished
by the next trip which is
scheduled to leave March
9th-25th This trip is sponsored
by John Loftus and Larry Martin

put together a special trip full
of extra perks and giveaways.

left so if you'd like more
information please email the

For those of you who like
Unique remote locations, with a
little extra challenge, and who
can't seem to get enough days
out on the water, May I remind
you we have a Clipperton trip
set to leave in April 6. 2007
for 21 days with a fly back
option. Clipperton is a
beautiful French atoll 650 mile
South of the Mexico point, with
tropical blue waters surrounding
it, unique sea life and is a
resting stop to some of your
favorite game fish like the
giant yellowfin tuna and the
tasty yet challenging wahoo.
So whatever it is you fancy we
have some great trips coming up
to suite your individual taste.
Come talk to one of us at the
Fred Hall Show coming up. The
