- Long Range Trip #2 October 17th thru 20th
- We have chartered two club trips on the Pacific Dawn this year. Both trips are two and1/2 days and will target large bluefin tuna (if available). If big bluefin are not in our waters we will then fish for yellowfin, yellowtail, etc. Each trip will depart from Fisherman’s Landing in San Diego in the evening and will return in the morning. Each trip will be limited to twelve anglers assuring plenty of room and a good choice of bunks. The cost of each trip including meals will be $1167. Please know both trips are full but you can get on the wait list. Call Mike Engle or Al Hermer.
- As those who have fished on these trips know, the Pacific Dawn is an excellent operation with a great captain and crew. All our previous trips have been extremely successful and the unprecedented availability of big bluefin in southern California waters creates an exciting outlook for the summer and fall season.
- A $583 deposit payable to SCTC will be required to make a reservation. Deposits are being accepted now, see below.
- These deposes are non-refundable, however, should you be unable to make the trip we will make every effort to sell your reservation as we anticipate a waiting list.
- To reserve a spot, please contact us and send a deposit check in the amount of $583, payable to SCTC to either Mike Engle or Al Hermer.
- With no other business discussed a call for jokes went out at 7:00pm
