Trip Reports

Hello anglers: We have some encouraging news from points south today–yellowfin tuna within 3-day range in the past couple of days. Good conditions with warm clean water as well. There’s an occasional dorado and good-size yellowtail associated with kelp paddies.
Things are looking up a bit!

Get yourself aboard the first trip of 2015–July 5-8–and bring the first 2015 fish aboard. You’ll win a prize from us: a Shimano flat-fall jig! Doug Kern at Fishermans Landing Tackle called it the hot lure for 2015, so demand is high and the supply is LOW. But we’ve secured one for our winner.

…to make sure you have trip insurance for your upcoming fishing trip! Insurance coverage means you are covered in case of unforeseen circumstances that cause you to cancel your trip. Protect your deposit!

We suggest you inquire with Travel Guard at www.travelguard.com. Or if you’d like to speak to an agent, try Bob Dawson here: www.drinsurancecenter.com.

Another step in the new deck process complete. Above, the rubber is troweled on and then the rubber granules are spread over the top. Below is the first coat of paint over the top.

We’ve pared down a few long trips and made room for two 1.5 day trips! Click here to book thru Fishermans Landing: https://fishermanslanding.fishingreservations.net/sales/?boat_id=265

Hello anglers: We had great news last weekend from the SAC spotter plane. They spotted lots of schools of bluefin tuna in U.S. waters. There are fish up to 100 pounds in some of the spots, so make sure you have a two speed reel with you. We will keep you posted on what size line to have as we get closer to departure. The spotter plane will be flying for us weekly so we can keep track of those schools.
Capt Aaron and crew did an outstanding job painting Searcher‘s cabin and bulwarks, while Celia and I took a break for a week.
The new deck will go on in the near future and it will be great! Stand by for some photos of the new paint job.
