Trip Reports

Hello anglers,
We’ve had a little slower day today until about 5 pm, when the tuna wanted to bite a little. Everyone had opportunities to land a nice tuna. Here is Gene B and Capt Mike with a nice fish. We have high hopes for tomorrow.

Hello anglers,

We had a nice day overall with plenty of opportunities to catch a quality tuna. And we saw lots of fish all day, but they didn’t bite as well as we hoped. The weather again was awesome, warm and sunny with light winds. We have high hopes for tomorrow.

Here is long-time Searcher customer Dale B with a 51 pound yellowfin, which is  a jackpot contender.

Hello anglers,

We arrived at Guadalupe Island Sunday afternoon. It didn’t take long for us to locate some fish and get the anchor down. Then we enjoyed steady action until dark. What a great start on 25-50 pound yellowfin! Live sardines with 30-40 pound line and fluorocarbon were the best method today.

Here is Paul C with a nice 40 pound fish. Oh, and the weather is awesome!

Hello anglers,

We focused on yellowtail today. Everyone has enough yellowfin tuna! We tried various spots with not much success. We did find a few fish at the end of the day and they were nice size fish. A fly-line mackerel with 40-pound test, and yo-yo lure (blue/white and scrambled egg) with 40-60 pound line were the methods that worked. Everyone had a chance at landing a nice yellowtail. Here is Paul S with a 42 pound yellowtail which is a personal best for this long-time angler!

We are headed north tonight to check in in Ensenada and then home for our next trip. Nice weather.
