Trip #18 | Seeker Rods Sponsored | July 4 – 7, 2026
Searcher Sportfishing Trip Report | Seeker Rods Sponsored | July 4 – 7, 2026
Good afternoon,
We returned home to Fisherman’s Landing early Tuesday morning from Trip #18, Seeker Rods Sponsored, July 4 – 7, 2026! It was a great time out on the water with Seeker representative Sophie and the awesome anglers who join us every year. There were great opportunities to catch trophy bluefin. The weather on the last night of the trip put a slight damper on things, but conditions appear to be on the upswing. It was a fun three days of fishing for bluefin and yellowtail, and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year!

Searcher Sportfishing Trip #15 Report | 3-Day Weekend Limited Load | June 26 – 29, 2026
Good afternoon,
We’re out on trip #15, 3-Day Weekend Limited Load, Friday, June 26, 2026, to Monday, June 29, 2026. Left Fisherman’s Landing Friday morning and arrived at the bluefin grounds that night. Saw good signs but conditions were tough, choppy and lots of traffic. We did get a few opportunities on 30-100lb fish. Decided to bail out around midnight and made a 100+ mile move. The past couple of days we’ve had good yellowtail fishing and still looking for some more before heading back home Monday morning.
