Accurate Reels: Jack Nilsen sponsors two trips every year. He brings with him his "Accurate Reels" for everyone to try out. and as a bonus " Fish with Mr. Accurate"  He comes on these trips and helps everyone with his gear. What a unique way to try new gear.

On the Accurate Reels 16-day trip. This trip will be a ride down/ride back with a fly home option out of Cabo San Lucas. Accurate is a family owned business that prides itself on revolutionary fishing reels. Jack Nilsen, the owner and our charter master, has been fishing with the Qualifier105 for over 20 years. Accurate will generously provide approximately 50 reels and matched rods for every anglers use. Fishing with Accurate Reels makes catching, world class fish a joy. They are durable and high tech, with a patented “Twin Drag” system that sets them apart. Accurate Boss reels are given away in daily derby jackpots, along with tee shirts. Accurate is the perfect trip for both the diehard angler and people just getting into the sport of long-range fishing. Anglers will have the opportunity to fish Mexican waters for giant Yellow Fin tuna and Wahoo. This trip is a perfect introduction for the first time long-range fisherman because all heavy gear (aside from terminal tackle) will be provided. This is a trip that should not be missed. On the Q-105 you will have an opportunity to fish “Cow Town” on the best fishing platform in Southern California and test the best gear in the industry. 

 Accurate Reels also sponsors a summer 7 day trip, if the boss won’t let you go for 16 days, sign up for:   www.accuratefishing.com

Skiff/Kayak/Mother-Ship trips, as well as our traditional 5-8 Days

                 Fish Targeted: Bluefin, Albacore, Yellowtail, Yellow fin, Dorado, Calico, White Sea Bass, and more

Skiff/Kayak-Mother-Ship Trips

Fishing from skiffs is one of the best unexploited fisheries on the Mexican Coast. The lack of fishing pressure makes these trips unforgettable. Imagine 2-8 lb. Calico Bass erupting on surface iron, exploding and hammering on swimbaits.

Experience 15-30 lb. Yellowtail boiling around the Q105 while fishing on the calm waters of a rugged Baja coastal Island

Add in trophy Yellowtail, White Seabass and Halibut and your trip is complete.

You will be one of the only 18 anglers on board. With 9 anglers in skiffs and captains and only 9 on the Qualifier 105. uncrowded fishing conditions prevail.


Big Hammer/Fisherman’s Hardware: Skiff/Kayak Coastal

8-Day-Lv. Fri. May 27th-2011 This 8 Day trip is a  Skiff.Kayak trip combo

The Santa Barbra guys with charter master Peter Wolf
The Big Hammer Skiff/Kayak is a combination trip with both Kayaks and Skiffs. If you are a ‘fisherman’, you have to experience a skiff trip at least once in your long-range career. If you are like most long-range anglers, having experienced this fishing once, you will just have to return from time to time. Skiff trips are an incredible experience where you truly will have a chance to catch your personal best of Yellowtail, Halibut, White Sea Bass and Calico Bass. Even when you are not out in a kayak or a skiff you will be fishing onboard the Q-105

Fish Trap Lures Skiff Trip : 7-Day Coastal - Lv. Sat. June 4th  2011

Barry Brightenburg is sponsoring the ever-popular fish trap lures skiff trip. This trip is a limited angler load, maxing out at 18 paid anglers. These trips target Calico Bass, Yellowtail, and other sport fish in unspoiled areas off the Baja coast. Skiff trips provide anglers the opportunity to fish in areas that the big boat cannot access. Barry conducts nightly raffles and brings supplies of top quality products including but not limited to: Shimano, P-line fishing line, Fish Trap Lures, Fish Work Clothing and many more. Barry has been acknowledged as being very generous with his supply of Fish trap lures because anglers fly though them quickly, and it is hard to find a more productive lure while fishing the kelp and boiler rocks. For any fisherman these trips are extraordinary, for the Calico Bass enthusiast this is the trip you will not want to miss. Barry is the originator of our skiff fishing concept. www.fishtraplures.com

Dreaming of BIG ONES,
Dallas Lamb
Chartermaster

AHI History The AHI trip has been running since1990 and was originally founded by, Pete Gray (Lets Talk Hookup Fame) Dallas Lamb and Gary Vanderlyke, as a three-day trip. After three successful years of finding "a _ _ holes" and convincing them to take a fishing trip, Gary and Dallas decided to take over the Invitational. There have been many memorable trips aboard the Qualifier 105, including the infamous Bluefin trip, and Gary "The Cowboy" is quoted as saying he loves the boat more than his own home. Gary has amazing patience and is always willing to answer any angler’s questions. Dallas, well anyone who knows him, knows the huge effort this guy makes to put together a "Show" with great music and all kinds of "What happens on the boat stays on the boat" silliness. with trophies and much much more. Come and join the fun.

Baja Fish Gear Second annual 7 day -Lv. Sat. July 2 2011

Ed,Matt, Steve, and the gang return in 2011.

Conceived by owner Ed Tschernoscha in 2002, Baja Fish Gear was initially intended to be located in Los Barriles, Baja California Sur with the acquisition of East Cape Tackle. After a year of negotiations that finally fell through, Ed began looking for a location between Los Angeles Harbor and Redondo Beach King Harbor to service the greater South Bay - San Pedro area. The original location was finally found in November 2002 and within a few short months, Baja Fish Gear was opened January 23, 2003 in Lomita, exactly six miles from the Los Angeles Harbor and Redondo Beach King Harbor. The retail location from the start has been filled will excessive amounts of custom handmade lures from Hawaii to designer hooks for even the most particular long range specialist. Baja Fish Gear’s mission statement has always been: To provide the best available selection of tackle at a fair price and information for big game, local and long range fishing from Southern California to Baja California, and beyond.

Matt Groff is one of our Sales Associate at Baja Fish Gear specializing in International fishing. When he's not at the shop answering questions on international sportsfishing he's with his family in a remote, exotic location, offshore. One of his greatest fishing moments was when he was traveling with his family to Venezuela. He landed a 350lb Atantic Blue Marlin and Sailfish. His second greatest fishing moment was in 2004 when he went to Alaska and fished with True Northern Charters. He landed a 270 pound halibut. He can be reached via email at matt@bajafishgear.com

Coastside: 2010

Coastside is a relatively new trip compared to many of our other sponsored trips, only starting about five years ago. However, it is wildly popular and tends to fill extremely fast. Bob Franko the founder of Coastside has been fishing with the Qualifier 105 since its first year at sea and decided along with charter masters Chris Hall to create a 5-day summer and a 10-day fall trip aboard the boat.
