Trip #47 | Seeker Rods Sponsored 7-Day | Oct 4 – 11, 2025

October 8th, 2025|Categories: Trip Reports|

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.
