Good evening all
 The boats that returned this morning from 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 day trips had nice catches of albacore and yellows. From what I could find out most of the better fishing was in an area about 120 miles from San diego and almost all of the fish where caught very early in the morning or after  4pm. You know what that means. If you want to get in on some of this  albi. action you need to go on a  1 1/2 day or better a 2 1/2 & 31/2 day trip

 It just so happens we have several 2 1/2 & 3 1/2 day trips scheduled in July 

(having been in this business for over 40 years does pay off some times)

2 1/2 and 3 1/2 day trips in July have been the most successful type of albacore trips most years for a long time and that is why we schedule them each year in July then switch over to mostly 2 day trips in August.

Trip #15a departs this Thursday @ 10 pm and returns Sunday morning. We only have 15 people booked at this time on this trip and only 13 on trip#16b that departs sunday evening July 5 @ 10pm

Check out the new pricing only $379 + food and permits and taxes.

call LARRY @ 858 270-7525  to book this trip or any other BIG GAME 90 TRIP 

To our valued customers
 
Many of you have written or called about the drastic change in our advertised prices

 First let me say for anyone who has already booked a trip with us there is no change to your reservation. Everything is as stated on your contract. 
The new pricing is just splitting out the cost of food, permits and taxes 
Sorry for the confusion but because of a change in the way the bait company is charging us we had to make the change in the way we market our trips and still be able to offer you the lowest price possible
 
PLEASE REMEMBER IF YOU ALREADY HAVE BOOKED A TRIP NOTHING WILL CHANGE.

“Picket these events, show them you won’t put up with their non-sense anymore, get out their and let them no you have had enough! Get your neighbours who you provide fresh fish, your kids, cousins, nieces, and all your friends. Make signs, Call your local media numbers below and act responsible.

We are the Stuarts of the Ocean and we have the power to create habitat, we have no need to take it away, no-re do we feel the science is at all accurate or their testing methods.

Their arrogance to think they can control a piece of the ocean is beyond me, any true salt knows we have no control over currents and tidal movement. They don’t even know how to measure these things under the surface of the ocean accuratly, yet they want to try and manage them.

TYPICAL PLAIN ARRAGANT LEGISLATION, Man will never control the ocean, the moon and sun allready got the job a long time ago.“

Thats my two cents.

Do we have any fishermen that can make the Laguna Beach City Council meeting tonight…..Please pass this along….We need to rally the troops.

Have a look at this.  Unbelievable!! 

The Laguna Beach City Council’s request to Dept. of Fish and Game to make the entire coastline of Laguna Beach a State Marine Reserve.

Here’s the full proposal if you want to read it.
http://www.lagunabeachcity.net/government/agenda/2009/06/0616PDF/A-17.pdf

Their stated reasons for doing this are 1. To create a State Marine Reserve that connects the one in La Jolla with the one in Palos Verdes (according to the MLPA guidelines, Marine Protected Areas should be no more than 50-100km apart). 2. Because enforcing various regulations for different types of allowable fishing would be too difficult and costly compared to enforcing a simple rule the there is no fishing of any kind. 3.  Variations in levels of protection at different beaches would cause a disparity in values of homes and business at those beaches, creating an unfair situation for local home and business owners
