Trip #26 Ultra-limited load 7-day trip (Oct 12-19)
Hello anglers,
We had a great day fishing offshore today. We started the day with a school of mixed grade yellowfin tuna and skipjack. We had good action on 10-30 pound tuna and the skipjack were a lot of fun. we released a lot of skipjack and kept a few for poke.
Everyone had their fill of yellowfin and so we decided to head west on a report of bluefin tuna schools. The last part of the day was spent on a big school of 40-55 pound bluefin tuna. They were biting! Capt Mike hooked and handed 10 fish! Not all were landed as usual due to the usual losses that occur with that size fish. We landed 16 of these good size bluefin tuna. Here is a group shot of the lucky anglers who landed at least one.
This was a great ending to a great trip!

Hello anglers,
We had some slow action today at the island, but we had our chances in the afternoon with plenty of fish around. They just weren’t biting as well as we would like. We elected to leave a day early and travel up to the local fishing zone as there has been some excellent fishing for yellowfin tuna there. We will be there early Friday morning and will spend our last day fishing there. Wish us luck.
Here is Dave N and Capt Art with a nice tuna.

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!
