Richard Hightower loves to fish wahoo. He’s sponsored a ten-day fall trip on the Red Rooster III to go after the skinnies for many years. We’ve fished with him and can tell you it’s a darn good time and a prime time of the year to go fishing. You might even find yourself pulling on a cow, a 200-pound tuna!

This year’s Wahoo Special is sweeter than usual, as the rates for the trip have been reduced to $2595, and the first 16 anglers pay their fees will receive brand new Newell 533 high-speed 5.5 reels, the same model favored by many of the fleet’s skippers for slinging iron to the skins.

HT sent us the following announcement, noting the trip this year is sponsored by Newell Reels, Catchy Tackle, Hayabusa hooks, Seaguar fluorocarbon and Yo-Zuri:


Receive a "FREE" Newell S533-5.5 reel, to the first 16 anglers that are paid in full. 

The reels will be given away at check-in, on October 6, 2010, prior to departure. 

There will be loaner rods & Newell reels available, the reels are filled with Yo-Zuri Hybrid Line.

 All anglers will receive the following listed below:



1. Catchy Tackle: Trolling Lure or a Sea Strike 33 casting lure.


2. Hayabusa:  Hayabusa hooks (4packs) & a Sabiki bait Rig.


3. Newell: Newell T-Shirt.


4. Seaguar: 25 yard spool Seaguar Fluorocarbon & Seaguar Hat.

5. Oceanic Productions/FishingVideos.com: A new 2011 Sportfishing Calendar.
