The Accurate Team returned to San Diego on February 26, 2009. Jack Nilsen and 23 fellow anglers fished aboard the Royal Polaris on an 18 day trip that departed from San Diego on February 8, 2009.
Captain Fank LoPreste skippered the trip. We were fortunate to have three Accurate Pro-Staff members along for support. Gary Lecroix, Brandon Kreutel, and Peter Heimbach are all Pro-Staff anglers and a great resource for Accurate.
Accurate brought 50 reel and rod combinations for the free use of all anglers throughout the trip. Many Accurate reels were won in “Daily Derby” fishing contests. The music rocked, the fish bit, and the GOOD TIMES ROLLED.
Mark Franketberker won his choice of an Accurate reel for his 301 pound yellowfin which was landed on his Accurate ATD 50W. Congratulations to Mark for a great fish and your new Accurate Reel to add your already extensive arsenal of Accurate Reels. Mark is already an all Accurate Angler and reel pleasure to have as part of our Accurate family.
We started our fishing at the Hurricane bank, targeting yellowfin tuna and wahoo. The fishing at the bank was very good and kept us busy for several days. Our next stop was outside of Clarion Island in an area around the island referred to as the “buffer zone”. This was “run and gun” fishing under bird schools and porpoise. We had excellent success in the “buffer zone” and then decided to depart for the Lucitania Bank outside Bahia Magdelana.
The area outside Bahia Magdelana also produced excellent fishing on yellowfin, wahoo, and giant squid. This was anchor fishing, drift fishing, and Kite fishing. All methods provided excellent results. The Royal Polaris uses Accurate ATD 50W and ATD 80 reels as the boats kite gear. These Accurate reels haveproved to be very reliable and effective as the standard Royal Polaris kite reels.
Accurate and the Royal Polaris will offer the same trip for February 2010. Visit the Royal Polaris and Accurate websites for dates and details. Call Scotty or Andrea at the Royal Polaris office to book your spot. 619 226-8030. royalpolaris.com
