The Southern California Tuna Club has once again graciously extended an invitation to Service Members to go ocean fishing for a day, on Saturday, 10th July, 2010. The trip is all-inclusive (tackle, bait, and lunch), there will be no payment required. The trip is open to all service members returning from a deployment during the last year. First come first served.

The boats are sportfishers that are privately owned by Tuna Club members. These are not "Day Boats" so there are better accommodations and an all around better fishing experience.

Each Service Member may bring 2 immediate family members or 1 unrelated guest. No exceptions. Guests should be at least 12 years old and in good health. Anglers 16 and older must be licensed to fish. Please purchase a license prior to the trip (approx. $15 for one day).

It is recommended that you bring a variety of clothing as temperatures/conditions vary throughout the day. Sunscreen is a must! Non-marking soled shoes are required to prevent damage to the boats' decks.

If you're interested please call or send an email to a POC to make your reservations. Please include your name, rank, contact number, e-mail address, number of guests, and the best time to call as we will be confirming reservations approximately 7 days prior to the event. Last day to register is noon 2 July, 2010.

Reservations are a must as there are a limited number of seats (70 total) on a first come, first served basis.

Pick up time will be at 7 a.m. at the Long Beach Yacht Club. The estimated conclusion time is 1400. The address is 6201 E. Appian Way, Long Beach, CA 90803.
