Independence Sportfishing Boat #1 For Long-Range

This Independence is the newest and the most luxurious sport boat in all of San Diego's Fleet. This boat provides it's state rooms with Satellite TV, a sink and full Bathrooms. In the Galley you have a soda and water fountain machine along with snacks, fruits, soup and a ice maker you can enjoy at anytime. Also this boat has a HUGE plasma screen to keep you entertained on the ride to and back from the fishing grounds. My personal favorite thing about this boat is the gourmet food ; a 5 star presentation and taste to give you the energy you need to fight them fish! Along with all this you get the best deck technicians and the most knowledgeable and experienced captains and crew members in the west coast. What more can you expect? Call Judy at Point Loma to Reserve your trip. (619) 226-6006. Mention us, Young's Tackle, and you'll get the best service in town! Keep in mind, due to the high demand for this boat you MUST BOOK ASAP! Spots are limited, and the majority of people cannot get the trip they want because its sold out already. I recommend booking your spot a year in advance (it also helps with the payment plan you might have with Judy.) Long-Range fishing will open new doors to your fishing experience, it will take fishing to the next level!

Remember, having the right gear and terminal tackle can and will determine the success your long-range trip. Be prepared; have the proper gear, take the right terminal tackle and make sure your reels are in the best shape. Get your reels serviced prior to your long-range trip so you can have a shot when you unexpectedly hang the big COW, HOMEGAURD YELLOWTAIL or BIG WAHOO. Make sure you check your reels' drags, bearings, parts, oil and grease or have a professional go through them. (We have over 22 years experience in FULL OVERHAUL REEL SERVICE.)

9	Casting lures heavy yo/yo type Salas 6X jr. or Tady 9 work well w/treble hooks in assorted colors. (blue/white, Scrambled egg and dorado have been the best.)
4	Surface Iron jigs Tady 45 and Salas 7X work well in various colors. (blue/white, Scrambled egg and dorado have been the best.)
6	Tuna type Iron's are also useful in blue and chrome with single hook. Tady 9 and Salas 6X jr. are popular.
4	Trolling Jigs Catchy spinner jet and Zuker feathers in Zucchini, Black and purple, Mexican Flag, Red and white as wll as others work well. These are used with Double hooks and swivels mounted on the hooks. For WAHOO, we HIGHLY recommend Yo-Zuri Marauders in 10inch size in Orange & Black or "Tony the Tiger" colors.
6	Mackerel bait catcher rigs. Yozuri, Izorline and Owner all make good products.
3	Squid jigs for night time use in making bait for big tuna.
1	Extra line in all pound test needed. The boat carries Izorline on the boat and can fill your reels on our line winder at any time on the trip.
1	Fluorocarbon leader has become very popular the last few years and we highly recommend it when fishing for bluefin tuna offshore as well as bigger yellowfin at Guadalupe island or Alijos rocks. It also comes in handy when the albacore become touchy and are hard to hook on regular mono. line. *Young's Tackle HIGHLY RECOMMENDS
20	Spilt shots (20) assorted sizes

0	The Boat will have loaner rod and reels on board if you do not have your own. These are top of the line outfits with Avet reels and Seeker rods and may be used free of rental charge. You only pay for the line fills on the reel at the start of the trip or need more line during the trip. The Number of loaner outfits is limited so please reserve in advance. Call judy at least 45 days prior to be sure we will have gear for you. Gear may also be rented at the office at Point Loma sportfishing or fisherman's landing on the day of departure.
