Herzog Electric charter (3-day) July 10
Hello anglers:
We left on our 3-day charter with friends from Herzog Electric this morning. We had some good bluefin tuna fishing this afternoon! The most successful anglers were using 30# fluorocarbon and a 3/0 hook.
We’re going to stay where we are and try it again tomorrow. Wish us continued tuna luck.

Hello anglers:
We fished for yellowfin tuna today and even caught a few! There are alot of fish out here, and now we need to figure out what will make them bite.
Searcher regular, Ken R., shows off his yellowfin tuna proudly!
We have our fingers crossed for the chance to catch a few more of these beauties. Wish us luck!

Trip 1: Jun 21, 22 (day 1 & 2)
Hello anglers,
We left on our first trip of the 2018 season on a trip sponsored by Accurate Fishing Products. We travelled to Coronado Islands to try for yellowtail. There’s plenty of activity here, and now we’re working on what they are hungry for! We got a sample this afternoon, and plan to stay for another day.
Afternoon update:
We had lots of action today with yellowtail. The best method for landing a yellowtail has been a flyline with sardine on 25 pound line and a 2/0 hook. A few fish were caught on artificial lures as well. The weather is great with sunny skies this afternoon and calm seas.
Here is the Gantz family with a sample of the yellowtail caught this morning. Craig is a long time Searcher angler. He brought his son and daughter with him on this trip for a full family experience. Lots of fun was had by all today.
