By Gary TeraokaFishingComments Off on Sept 2018 Calstar (Accurate/Izorline) 6-Day Red Rooster 3 Trip Report
Andy Cates took the Calstar sponsored 6-day trip to “the Ridge” area for 2-days of yellowfin tuna fishing. On the way back, we stopped at San Pablo for yellowtail fishing. The last day was spent kelp paddy hopping for Dorado and some filler yellowfin tuna.
Calstar provided over 20 of their latest model graphiter loaner rods for the passengers to try out. Accurate also provided a few reels to allow for a couple of complete demonstrator outfits with 30# and 40# line. Thank you also to Izorline for the spectra and XXX mono on the reels.
I tried to capture passengers having fun and posted these photos in this report. Calstar is going to be sponsoring this trip again next year. Contact Maria in the Red Rooster 3 office to sign up for the Sept 2019 trip.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy the trip photos,
Gary Teraoka
