Howdy anglers: We had a good morning fishing for yellowfin tuna, and we had a kelp for some fun dorado and yellowfin. The weather is calm and it’s down-right nice.  Here’s a sample of the dorado caught by David Swanson.aug 8-12 swanson

Hoping for more action this afternoon,
Capt Aaron and Searcher crew
Tip of the day: When it is calm and no wind, it can be very hard to get a bait to swim. It’s important to keep contact with your bait.

Tip of the day: Just because it’s the biggest bait in the bait trays doesn’t mean it’s gonna swim best or get a guaranteed bite.

Howdy anglers: What a morning’s day of fishing! We have a day’s limit of yellwofin tuna and it all started with a morning bite while having the sea anchor out. Here’s a sample of the tuna:aug 5-8 YFT
Tip of the day: When not getting bites it could be helpful to try a smaller hook, even using a non-ringed hook the same size. It could make a difference.
