Good evening,

Out on our last day for trip #48, 7-Day Ultra Limited Load, October 11 – 18, 2025. Wednesday, we spent another morning down below and were able to troll up a few wahoos before putting the anchor back down for the rest of the morning to catch some more tuna before we started rolling up.

Thursday, we stopped on our way up to fish yellowtail for a few hours. Fish weren’t all too eager, but we were able to catch a bit before continuing on. We have been traveling up in nice weather. Earlier we stopped and did some cod drifts before calling it a trip and heading back home. Now getting ready to server dinner and enjoy the last night on the boat. We’ll be back at Fisherman’s Landing in the morning to get ready to head out with Captain Mike on trip #49, 7-Day Ultra Limited Load, October 18- 25, 2025.

Good evening,

We set out Saturday morning on Trip #48, 7-Day Ultra Limited Load, October 11 – 18, 2025. We started off making slow speed and traveled for the majority of the first two days. Monday, we managed to have some fun with nice grade dorado and released a couple stripe marlin. Later that night we trolled up one giant wahoo. Today was our first day on the Ridge and it’s been a good one. Steady action on mixed grade tuna all day, mixed with some dorado and yellowtail to keep things exciting. We also trolled up a handful of these large sized wahoos. Excited to see how the rest of today and how tomorrow turns out!

Hello Anglers,

We are currently out on our 7-Day Seeker Rods Sponsored Trip #47 with pro-staffer Kevin Boyle, October 4 – 11, 2025. We left Fisherman’s Landing Saturday morning and traveled down the coast for two days to get in starting position. The first day was slow with only a brief window of action in the morning, then spent lots of time driving around checking spots. Yesterday was a better pace. We were able to catch a decent amount of amazing grade yellowtail. Today has been incredible fishing and guys were able to tag what they wanted for yellowtail. Changing gears now and heading up to spend our last couple of days tuna fishing before returning home this Saturday.

We have several open spots on upcoming trips. Check out the Schedule Page for additional details.

Good Afternoon,

This Wednesday morning, we returned from the 3-day Biter’s Charter, September 28 – October 1, 2025. We had good fishing the first night of the trip. On day two there were limits of bluefin tuna and around 50 yellowfin tuna. On the last day it was pretty slow most of the day, but we managed a few more before heading back home.

After returning to Fisherman’s Landing this morning, we offloaded the anglers, carted up the fish and started prepping the boat to head back out on the 3-day Chad Grosdidier charter. We’ll be looking to hit more limits this week.
