Today another boat from our fleet (Shogun) found some bluefin and yellowfin tuna at 170 miles from San Diego! The bluefin were 40-100# and the yellowfin were 15-25#. There was a single dorado in the count as well. There are other boats in the same zone today, so stay tuned!
Our first trip is a 5-day from Jun 25-30 and there are a few spots left if you’d like to be part of the start to the tuna and yellowtail season.
43 years and going strong!!

Hello anglers!
We are looking forward to seeing you at the annual Fred Hall Fishing, Tackle and Boat show at the Long Beach Convention Center. We’ll have a booth there with long-ranger Dave Bell and Capt Art Taylor in the booth. You might want to attend a seminar by Capt Art in the SHIMANO booth. He’ll do two seminars: Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. and Thursday at 5 p.m.
If you book a trip and make a deposit at the show, we’ve got a free t-shirt for you. Stop by and say hello!

Richard Hamilton caught these yellowtail weighing 25 and 52 pounds off La Jolla, California. Both fish were caught on the XRAP 30 in Blue Mac. If you look closely, you can still see the baits in the fish’s mouth! Hamilton is the lucky winner of a 5-day fishing trip with us.
SAVE THE DATE! Come down to Fisherman’s Landing for a grand re-opening of the Fisherman’s Landing Tackle Shop. This annual event hosts tackle manufacturers, fishing seminars, and Manager Doug Kern is promising a few deals in the store! Searcher will be at the dock, so join us aboard for fishing seminars, a tour of the boat, or chat with the crew.
Searcher angler, Kevin Justen, recently served a grilled yellowtail lunch to Huntington Beach Fire Station 1-Gothard using his Cedros Island yellowtail. The universally loved marinade…italian dressing!
Hello anglers, Today we are started off with some early morning action on some of the better-size yellowtail and two nice-size white sea bass. Some anglers go their whole fishing career without catching a white sea bass and Mike Meineke from Michigan landed a 35-pounder. It’s his biggest fish ever and his first 5-day trip. We arrived at yesterday’s hot spot a little earlier today and the fish were biting when we got there. We’ve had steady action since 10:30 am and we are thinking about making a move up the island to concentrate on bigger size yellowtail. More later, Capt Art
