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!
We’re currently out on Trip #19, 3-Day Limited Load, July 7 – 10, 2026.

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.

Hello!
We returned home this morning from the Pelagic Predators Charter, Trip #14, Tuesday, June 23, 2026, to Friday, June 26, 2026. We’ve seen some large schools of bluefin the last few days. Tough to catch but we’ve had a couple shots the past couple of nights. Mixed in some variety. Thursday, we made a big move in morning and worked down towards the beach all day. Scratched in the morning and had a shooter on good grade yellows in the bottom of the ninth.
Back at it again for the weekend. Out on Trip #15, Friday, June 26, 2026, to Monday, June 29, 2026. Load of 18 and we’re ready to see what we can find.
