Trip #3 July 9-12 (3 day) Seeker Rods
Good morning anglers,
We stayed in the same zone this morning since we had such good fishing yesterda. We spent a lot of time looking at non-biting bluefin and yellowfin tuna. We did scratch some up, along with some dorado. We will be working up the rest of our afternoon looking for kelps.

Good afternoon anglers,
We’re having a blast this morning out here! We’ve had good mixed fishing on yellowfin, bluefin, dorado, and yellowtail. There’s an incredible amount of fish in this area. We’re pretty busy at the moment, but we’ll check back later with a full report.

Good evening anglers,
We had a great day down here! We looked at lots of bluefin this afternoon that didn’t bite, though we managed to boat a few more. We loaded up on dorado and scratched away on 20-25lb yellowfin. It was non-stop action from sun up to sun down here. And we captured these fish every way imaginable.

Trip #3 July 9-12 (3 day) Seeker Rods
Good Evening anglers,
We departed on our annual July Seeker 3-day trip this morning with a nice load of bait. This afternoon we stumbled upon some large schools of mostly 50-70lb bluefin. They were in the non-biting mode however. We managed a few bites, but only landed one 30# bluefin. We’ll check back in the morning.

Trip #3 July 7-9 (1.5 day) Let’s Talk Hook-up
Hello anglers,
We looked at plenty of bluefin tuna schools this afternoon with no success in getting them to bite. At 5 pm we found some more fish and we finally hooked a few. We landed seven and had multiple bites on the kite outfit. Our biggest fish taped out at 193 pounds caught by Russ with a little help from the crew. These are impressive fish to catch, we just wish there were more of them for everyone.
Thanks to Pete Gray from Let’s Talk Hook-Up and Gamakatsu hooks for sponsoring this trip!

Trip #2 July 2-5 (3 day) July 4th Special!
Good morning anglers,
We had some very good action on the yellowtail again this morning. We have not seen a whole lot of this yellowfin, however. We are almost 150 miles from home so we are working that way, hoping to get another shot at the bluefin this afternoon.
Captain Mike and the boys,
Nanette S. caught this yellowtail on a flylined sardine
Happy 4th of July!
This afternoon we scratched up some more yellowtail. We found some schools of bluefin late, but couldn’t get any to bite. We didn’t get to spend much time in the bluefin zone this afternoon.
Looking forward to getting back out on the next trip.
