Tony's Legacy - Father/Son Fishing Charter







In early September I headed out on the Grande out of Point Loma Sportfishing in San Diego, California for the 9th annual Tony's Legacy Father/Son Fishing Charter. This is a memorial trip put on by Mark Case to teach kids how to fish. We had 10 boys ranging from 10 to 16 years old for a 2 day trip for yellowfin tuna and dorado. I took my 10 year old son Conner for his first overnight trip along with my dad, Jack. Great time was had by all, we hit several kelp paddies that were holding yellowfin tuna and some scattered dorado. At the very last hour of the trip we hit the mother load paddy for a 45 minute hot yellowfin bite that we all hope for. It was great to see how the boys handled the fast pace of fighting your fish and keeping the lines from crossing. The boys learned a lot about fishing and hanging out with their dads. Good times!

Thanks Mark for putting on a great trip for the boys.
