September 9-11, 2012 - Fishing trip

To all Scouts and Parents, we have a very adventurous opportunity for your older Scout to earn the Fishing merit badge.  I regularly put together yearly 3, 4 and 5 day ocean fishing charters going out of San Diego.  This year I am putting together a shorter 2 day trip.  It will be on "Old Glory", formerly the Cherokee Geisha.  The boat is an 85' sportfisher owned and run by Joe Phillips, the captain I regularly fish with.

This trip is an opportunity for you to fish for exotic big game fish some anglers may never catch in their lives - Dorado, Yellow Fin Tuna, Blue Fin Tuna, Albacore Tuna and Yellowtail.  Last year at the same time we are going they were catching 4 of these 5 big game fish in our area.  This trip is for teenagers on up, first priority will be given to Scouts.  If you have a younger Scout who has experience we can talk.  The Scout must be accompanied by an adult/guardian.  Dads - if you've always wanted to stretch out and get in 2 full days of fishing for big game fish, but have been hesitant, this is your perfect opportunity.  This trip is geared to the Scouts and those who are not seasoned big game fishermen.  Captain Joe has an outstanding crew to guide the experienced angler and the newbies.  If spots are still open after the beginning of August the trip will open up to parents without Scouts.

There are not many guarantees in life, but I guarantee your Scout will catch fish (ranging from 5 to 45 pounds) and earn his Fishing merit badge on the boat if he has completed the pre-requisites.

We will be leaving on Sunday September 9th and return Tuesday evening the 11th.  Old Glory is a very large ship but we will only be taking 22 anglers.  This is considered an "Ultra Limited Load" and there will be a ton of room for everyone to fish.  Captain Joe is a friend of the Scouts and is giving us this trip for about $175 less per person than the going rate.  The cost will be $440 per person.  Details are in the flyer.  There are currently 6 spots still available, don't hesitate if you are interested.   Please forward on to others who have Scouts or teenagers that may be interested.  Contact me via e-mail and I can answer all your questions.
