Nice Bluefin Uncle Joe

Tommy Rothery docked his Polaris Supreme at Fisherman's Landing July 29 after a five-day trip that fished hard offshore and at Cedros Island. His 20 anglers, led by chartermaster Dr. Alan Hermer, found great yellowtail fishing and a few albacore. A couple of bluefin made it into the jackpot.

Joe DeMarco of San Gabriel, formerly partnered with Jack Nilsen at Accurate, won second place for a 31-pound bluefin. Joe said he got his fish with a sardine on a 2/0 Mustad hook on 30-pound Big Game line on an Accurate 870 reel and a custom Accurate seven-foot rod.

ROBERTO AND HIS ACCURATE BOSS 665

Roberto is a panga captain on the Tony Reyes charter operation out of San Felipe, Baja. Roberto has been our panga skipper for the last two trips on the Tony Reyes. Last June I left one of my Boss 665 reels with Roberto as a thank you gift for his excellent fishing and boating skill that helps us have a great time on our trips.

Robert recently landed this grouper that weighed in excess of 400 pounds. Absolutely amazing on the small Accurate Boss reel.

Congratulations Roberto for this truly amazing catch.

Team Miller's Ale House wins PTTS Team Of The Year Title

Congrats to Artie Price, Greg DeVault, Jon Turner and Frank Massaro!

For the 5th time in the past 6 years, Capt. Artie Price and team Accurate captured the Professional Tarpon Tournament Series coveted "Team of the Year" title in Boca Grande Florida.

"It's hard to imagine that such a small, lightweight reel can be engineered in a way that it will handle the abuse of tournament tarpon fishing. For me, it's a dream come true" -Artie Price

Team Miller's Ale House uses our smallest Boss reel; the BX-400XN to do battle with these big Tarpon. A winning combination.

Joe and BX2-400 put the hurt to 100lb-plus tuna

This year I purchased three BX2 reels: 400, 500, 600N. On an early June 5-day on the Excel, I caught thirty-plus bluefin (ave. 30lb) on the 400. I had an 8-day scheduled for early July, so I called your service department to see if I should have the reel serviced, after catching all those bluefin. George answered the phone and helped me to check out the reel to see if I needed to send it in. We decided that I did not.

Fast forward three weeks to my July 3-11 eight-day on the Red Rooster III. The tuna at Alijos were finicky, so I fished the BX2 400 full of 50lb Spectra and a short (20yd) 40lb fluorocarbon topshot (on an 8ft Seeker CJBF80). Caught several tuna 20lb-50lb the first day.

That evening I changed out my topshot to a 45 lb Seaguar Premier Fluoro I had made. Next morning I hooked a real unit. More than an hour later a 122lb YFT comes over the rail. I'm thinking, Dang, this little reel rocks! And I'm also thinking, hey, I've got my fish, my trip is made so, to change out to a 50lb topshot on the outfit, not really caring whether I get a bite or not. Yeah, I know, the BX2-400 is not a 50lb reel.

A few minutes later I hook up yep, another unit. This time I fish the set-up at 17-18lb drag and get a 107lb YFT to the boat in 20 minutes.

Conclusion: These Boss Extreme 2-Speeds are absolutely the ticket. Yep, Small Reels - Big Fish!

I'll be dropping all three reels by your service department in the next week or two. I imagine that 400 could use a little TLC. Or maybe not!

Thanks for making such a great product.
