Tackle Tip Thursday Vol. 203 (Fishing With Colt Snipers)
Welcome back to Tackle Tip Thursday, anglers!
Fred Brandt, one of Seeker Fishing Rod‘s pro staffers, talks about the different ways you can use Colt Snipers while fishing tuna. He also introduces and explains how to use the “Snipper” from Lead Masters.
We still have a few spots open on our annual 7 day, Seeker-sponsored trip with Fred, himself! Not only is Fred incredibly knowledgeable and helpful at the rail — he’s a lot of fun, too! Book your long- range adventure and come fish with Fred and Team Searcher in October 2023.

Hello anglers:
We arrived at the 13 fathom spot ths afternoon. We trolled around for an hour with no wahoo strikes, so we dropped the anchor.
We had some action on 12- 40 pound yellowfin tuna. We stayed busy until sunset and everyone had a chance at a tuna.
We are spending the night and trying again tomorrow.

Hello anglers:
It’s rigging day.
We had a seminar this morning to cover all the methods possible for the next few days on The Ridge. The great thing about The Ridge is the variety. When you cast out, you never know what you’re going to catch. We hope to have some action on yellowfin tuna, yellowtail, dorado and wahoo.
Everyone is in the process, with crew help, of getting set up for tomorrow afternoon.

Good evening,
On the slower side for yellowtail fishing today. We had a good shot in the morning but I think we weren’t quite ready. We saw fish later in the afternoon that didn’t cooperate. Lots of big bass and other miscellaneous throughout the day though.

Good morning,
We are kelping our way up to be in position to fish yellowtail tomorrow. We’ve had a couple good kelps this morning for “all-you-want” dorado. No wahoo on any of them yet. We didn’t tag a whole lot of fish today since anglers are saving tags for tomorrow.
Starting to get a little breezy here now hopefully theres a wahoo kelp on the bow.

Dorado coming over the rail!
Tackle Tip Thursday Vol. 202 (Catching Calicos)
Welcome back to Tackle Tip Thursday!
“Rockcod Rick” of Let’s Talk Hook-Up and Fisherman’s Landing Tackle Shop is here this week to remind everyone of the possibility of calico bass fishing opportunities on those long- range trips. It’s a good idea to be prepared with what you need to boat one or two of these beauties on the coastal track back from fishing destinations such as the Ridge or Alijos Rocks.

Good morning,
Our move seemed to have paid off . We’ve had a few shots at wahoo this morning. We don’t see a whole lot, but the ones we do see bite a little bit so we’re getting a little sample.
We’ll check back later. We’re trying to get another stop here right now.

Good evening,
We had a good day down here on The Ridge. Some wahoo showed up late morning and we were able to scratch away throughout the day. We got a few good opportunities and scored a little better than a couple around. They are very nice fish–30 to 60#. Very fun fishing and beautiful weather. We’re moving up the coast tonight to try get a kelp tomorrow.
