Trip 5 – 3-day (July 11-14) Seeker Rods Open
Good afternoon anglers:
We started off our morning fishing for bluefin. We have had a little luck getting them to bite on 40lb fly-lined baits and flat falls.

Good evening anglers,
We left the dock this morning and started fishing for yellowtail this afternoon. We had very good results with using 30lb test with flourocarbon and a 2/0 hook. We also had good results with yoyo jigs. Here is Lisa F. with one of her nice yellowtails. Lisa is on this trip with her brother and father, a long-time Searcher customer who won his trip in our SONAR promotion. Check it out here: SONAR.
We are going to stay put and try for some more yellowtail tomorrow. Wish us luck!
