Good evening anglers:
Today we fished the coast for yellowtail and had good results on catching some 16 to 25 lb fish. The best way to get a bite was on a dropper loop set-up and a sardine (click here for a how-to video) as well yo-yo iron using 50lb test. For success at surface iron fishing lures, click here.
The weather today was nothing short of fantastic with calm seas and sunny skies.
It has been truly an “epic trip” and we want to say a big Team Searcher “THANK YOU” to Thom C. and the group of anglers that joined us.
Here’s Thom with his quality yellowtail. We’re travelling north on Friday and due to arrive back to the dock early Saturday morning.

Good evening anglers: BOO!
We gathered a few more wahoo this afternoon before we had to leave for our next destination. Click here for some tips on the most successful wahoo lures. Most of our fish were caught trolling on Nomads and Marauders. We’ve really enjoyed this epic wahoo fishing for the last three days!
Today’s wahoo gang: Steven, Ron, Todd, John and Jack on one of the last stops today.
We will be trying for yellowtail (click here for the best lure selections) tomorrow along the beautiful Baja peninsula.
Wish us luck, we will check in with you tomorrow.
