Hello anglers: We had a good day with action on good-size yellowtail. Everyone had a great time with lots of laughs and a little chaos when the fish were biting…25 pound yellowtail have a way of causing chaos! A dropper loop with a live bait was the method of choice today with a few fish on artificial lures and flyline live bait. Today’s photo is of our long time sponsor Steve Carson with Capt Aaron and a nice yellowtail.sep 16-22 carson
We are headed north tonight so we can have more fishing time tomorrow.

Hello all,

Well, today was different than yesterday. We had all our action in the morning today, while yesterday was all in the afternoon. Every day is different out here, that is what makes it interesting and challenging. All in all, we had a good day with yellowfin tuna and yellowtail. The grade of fish was much better today. It is always great when everyone has a chance at a good size fish. This afternoon’s photo is of Ron Shulz AKA Tator from Grapevine, TX and Capt. Joe with a nice yellowfin tuna.
Headed north to try for yellowtail tonight.

Hello all,
We had some action this afternoon! Good fishing for yellowfin tuna in the 10-30 pound class. Everyone had a chance to land a few. We had a few laughs as usual and we all had a great time.

Live bait was the method of choice today. The tip from Team Searcher is when you choose a hot bait, let go of the bait after you hook it. Don’t hang on to the bait as you are going to the rail to cast it out into the bite zone. You have a leash going to the bait with the hook attached to it, you can let go and your bait will be stronger and last longer.

This evenings photo is Capt. Aaron and long time Searcher customer Art Razo with a nice tuna.

Will send another update soon.

Hello all,
We didn’t have great fishing today but we have high hopes for tomorrow. Breezy conditions today, and we did see lots of yellowtail that wouldn’t bite. The highlight for today was dinner! Nothing like Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixin’s in September – a new meal recently added to our Searcher menu to change things up a little – we all really enjoyed it. Great job, Chef Charles and Dan!

Till tomorrow, Team Searcher

Hello all,
We moved further south last night to try for yellowfin tuna and yellowtail. We have a sample of each so far with high hopes for later today. The weather is good. This morning’s photo is of Capt. Ryan and Chris Mohs from Ventura with a nice yellowfin tuna.
More later,

Hello all,
We started our trip on the coast for yellowtail. We landed a few, and saw plenty that wouldn’t bite. Everyone had a chance to wet a line and get some of the rust off. We are heading further south to try a different spot later today.
The weather is fine with light winds and not much swell.  We will send another update tomorrow.

Fishing update and news from Capt Art

September 9th, 2015|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hello anglers: I’d like to share the news about the signs of wahoo at Alijos Rocks and The Ridge. There have been recent catches at both places though the Rocks have produced more wahoo than The Ridge. Of note are the sharks at the Rocks so it would be wise to add some lures to your arsenal. The sharks have been aggressive so you might lose a lure or two….
There are signs of yellowfin tuna at The Ridge but not at the Rocks. No guarantees but if there is a chance to catch a wahoo or two for everyone, we will certainly do our best.
There are still 6 spots left on the final trip this season–Oct 24-31–so book now and check these spots out! Look forward to seeing you.
