The second day of our 2017 Gold Coast Road Trip was fantastic! We started the day with a visit to Eric’s Tackle in Ventura. Eric caught us up to speed with local conditions and fishing reports. We are returning to the area to do a seminar for Eric’s new fishing club: Channel Islands Fishing Club 
on Tuesday Jun 13, check out our Facebook page for more details. We also stopped by to see our friends at Hyun’s Tackle in Oxnard. The owners are busy with gear repairs and building new outfits for anglers.
In the evening we spent time with anglers gathered at Turners Outdoorsman in Oxnard. The store manager, Mike Armenta, offers seminars in a new and comfortable space at the store. Capt Art and crewman Ben suggested outfits for multi-day trips, and demonstrated knots and connections so everyone is prepared for their tuna trips this season! There were lots of questions for our team and we appreciated the time spent with our Oxnard friends. As usual, we offered up some raffle prizes (and so did Mike A.!), with the grand prize of a $250 gift certificate for a Searcher Sportfishing trip in 2017 going to Mike R.
