Hello anglers: We moved a little further south last night and we are concentrating on yellowfin tuna and dorado today. We see signs of the better size yellowfin so far. The tuna are in the 25-40 pound range. Anything smaller we are releasing. We have a few dorado also. Pictured is Tom and Matt Manning from San Juan Bautista, CA with their yellowfin tuna from a stop this morning.

Hello anglers: Not much action this afternoon except a few dorado on the troll and an occassional dorado on bait. We are sticking with the plan and heading further south to try for yellowtail for the next two days. Everyone had a chance at a good size yellowfin tuna today. More tomorrow, Team Searcher
Hello anglers: We are in the yellowtail zone today. We are catching a few nice size yellows in tough conditions with lots of wind and a big swell. Most of the fish are being landed on blue & white lures and 40-50 pound test line. A few fish are being landed on sardines.

Hello anglers: We started our day with a school of bluefin tuna before daylight. They didn’t bite all that well but we got a sample of 30 -40 pound fish with some small yellowfin tuna mixed in. We have also stopped and caught some 15-20 pound bluefin tuna since and we have a few dorado as well. Not a bad start!
We’re hoping to get lucky and find a biting school of bluefin later today. The weather is good with 12 knots of wind and a little swell. Pictured is Capt Aaron with long-time Searcher family Howard Folmer.

Hello anglers: We weren’t able to find anymore bluefin tuna this afternoon. We stayed busy with small yellowfin tuna and a few dorado. Chuck Dominique from Las Vegas AKA “LD” (loose drag) is pictured with Capt Art and a nice-size dorado caught on live bait. 
We are headed further south to hopefully find some good-grade yellowfin tuna and dorado tomorrow.

Hello anglers: We are having a good morning with action on good-size yellowtail in the 20 pound range.We are having to work at getting bites but we are seeing good signs of yellowtail and we are hoping they bite a little later. Pictured is Craig Gantz from Mission Viejo and Capt Greg from Team Searcher.

Hello anglers: We had hoped for a few more yellowtail this afternoon but conditions prevented us from fishing where we wanted to with 30 knots of wind and current running into the wind. We ended up landing some nice size yellowtail today and everyone had plenty of chances to catch a nice one. We are headed north tonight and hoping to fish a little tomorrow late morning, weather permitting. Team Hello all,

Hello anglers: We didn’t have the same good luck this morning as we yesterday morning. We saw fish but it wouldn’t bite for us. We had hoped to get a few more bluefin tuna before travelling south to try for yellowtail. We landed some 15-20 pound bluefin at daylight and then didn’t catch anything after that. We departed for the yellowtail zone at 10:30 looking for kelp paddies with yellowfin tuna and dorado. We had some success the rest of the day with a few small yellowfin and a few nice-size dorado.
Looking forward to tomorrow!

Hello anglers: Great fishing this morning with steady action on 30 to 50 pound bluefin tuna. A flyline sardine on 40 pound floro-carbon and mono with a 4/0 circle hook has been the outfit of choice so far. Pictured is Dan Ranta from Vista with his Dad Adrian and friends Tim and Jeremy all from Minnesota. 
Everyone has had a good chance at these quality bluefin tuna.

Hello anglers: We’ve had excellent fishing for quality bluefin tuna all day today. I’m sure the average fish is 40 to 45 pounds. I can’t recall having a better day this season as far as the quality is concerned, and everyone had multiple chances at landing one of these bluefin tuna. A tackle tip for today was to use a circle hook, as these fish have teeth so if you use a standard J-hook you had a pretty good chance of getting bit off. Team Searcher
