Good Evening Anglers:
We started off are our day looking for kelps, with the first dorado hitting the deck on Searcher in 2019! We then fished bluefin in the afternooon and had some really good oppportunites at catching some quality bluefin tuna. Kenneth L. posed with a beautiful bluefin tuna.
That’s a wrap for our 4th of July trip! Stay tuned for our next trip’s reports.

Day 2
Good evening anglers:
Today we spent most of our day looking at big schools of breaking bluefin and yellowfin for not many bites. We were able to scratch up a few of each species, and a few yellowtail off kelp patties. They were mostly caught on fly-lined sardines on 30 pound test and 2/0 hooks.
Here is a shot of Tihyam K and Justin with a nice yellowfin tuna.

Trip 2 – 1.5-day Trip (Jun 28-30)
Hello anglers:
We have been working hard to get a bluefin tuna school to bite all day today and we haven’t had much success. We see a lot of tuna around us, and even have tuna boiling on our chum, but not biting the baits on our hooks. We have a sample aboard and catching those is a lot of fun, but we wish every single angler had a tuna.
Here is crewman Justin and Steve E. with a nice bluefin tuna from one of our many stops.
