Cook tip from Sean aka “Monkey”, his recipe for cooking fresh wahoo or yellowtail. Use a cast iron skillet, preheat butter or olive oil and season before cooking with either Bayou Cajun seasoning or Montreal Steak seasoning. Enjoy!

Good afternoon,
On Saturday morning, the Searcher set out on its trip #45, a 7-Day Ultra Limited Load. By Monday, after two days of travel, we reached the southern waters and picked up right where we left off. The tuna fishing was fantastic once again, with catches ranging from 30 to 80 pounds. Yesterday’s action was as good as it gets!
This morning (Tuesday), we had some great action, landing skinnies along with some nice tunas mixed in. The weather is flat and calm, and the signs are good!

Trip 41, 3-Day Limited Load Sunday Report
Good afternoon,
Good signs again today. Most of the fish we saw were 60-90 lbs, but they were tough to hook. We managed to pick off a few throughout the day and had a sundowner bite on 30-40 lb fish. There’s plenty of fish around, but they haven’t cooperated much over the past couple of days.

Trip 41, 3-Day Limited Load, Sept. 19-22
Good afternoon,
Searcher drove out Thursday morning on a 3-day limited load. Friday, there were some good schools around, but it was really tough to get a bite. However, today we’re starting to see signs of bigger fish, and hopefully, we’ll get a shot soon.”

Trip 40, Rich Denio Charter, Sept. 16-19
Good morning,
We set out Monday on the Rich Denio 3-day charter with Knee Deep Brewing Company. The last couple of days were spent on the bank, battling choppy weather on both Monday and Tuesday. We had several chances in the mornings, but afternoons were slow with a few picks. After camping out on Tuesday night, we had similar opportunities the next morning. Fortunately, Wednesday brought better weather, allowing us to explore more. Later that afternoon, we encountered some larger fish, with a promising sign of 60-100 pounders. Although we had a few bites, none made it to the boat. By late Wednesday evening, time ran out, and we had to head back.
