Mid-day report July 30
Howdy anglers: We had an OK morning with a few stops. We are experiencing a mid-day lull so we’re hoping for a big afternoon hit. Wish us luck!

July 29 (Izorline/Bass Pro Shops Open)
Capt Aaron wasted no time getting over 90 tuna on the boat the same day the boat left! Today, his mid-day report is 84 mixed tuna aboard in US waters (70 yellowfin and 14 bluefin). The weather remains excellent. Wendy Tochihara (Izorline rep) and Kyle Lee (Bass Pro Shop rep) and their “regulars” must be enjoying their first few days at sea.

Howdy anglers: Today was a different day for us. We didn’t catch much but the weather is still very good, so we’re going to enjoy our ride home. We’re coming back out for 5 days, so wish us luck! Good angling and hope to see you on the water soon, Capt Aaron and Searcher crew
Tackle tip: When using the same rig for multiple fish, it is very wise to change your line. It’s a very cheap investment to not lose fish.

Howdy anglers, The fishing was awesome today and the weather was very calm, almost no wind all day long and the forecast looks good too. We had a very good mix of yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna and some yellowtail, most of the day fishing in US waters. We’re going for fish tomorrow again, so wish us luck!
Tip of the day: Using circle hooks, especially fishing for bluefin, are crucial. It took a little convincing or people to use them after they were getting bit off. Here’s a sample of some tuna caught by father and son Joe and Troy Jacques of Hemet, CA.
Good angling and hope to see ya on the water soon,
Capt Aaron and the Searcher crew
