Jul 29 (Jul 28-Aug 5) 8-day Izorline and Turner’s Outdoors Open

July 29th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good afternoon,
We’ve been traveling the last couple days, headed south.  We bumped into a large area of dorado and had a go-around for dinner fare.  Nice weather rolling down.  We’ll be on the beach around San Pablo tomorrow morning.

Jul 26 (Jul 23-28) 5 day Poseidon Fishing Adventures

July 27th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good afternoon,
We saw plenty of fish last night but they were hard to catch. We left around 2am to try for yellowtail again. It’s been a fun day picking away on these nice yellows with surface iron yoyo and fly line fishing. Excellent grade of fish.
We’re making a move to mix it up and try find some biting tuna.

Jul 25 (Jul 23-28) 5 day Poseidon Fishing Adventures

July 26th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good evening,
We changed it up today and fished yellowtail this morning. We had some pretty good opportunity on 18-25lb yellowtail.  They put on a good show splashing around the boat.  They didn’t bite as well as we would have liked, but we scratched out a good morning.
After lunch time we took off in search of bluefin again. We are seeing incredible sign this evening.  It looks like a good set up for tonight.

July 24th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good evening,
We saw an Incredible sign throughout the day here all day. We saw miles and miles of fish of all sizes.
We were able to drift and scratch out a few fsih throughout the day.  There were some pretty good opportunities on mostly 60-80lb fish. We have brochure weather here today, and it seems like a good set up for tonight.

Jul 22 (Jul 20-23) 3 day Limited load

July 22nd, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good morning,
We had a good morning!  These 25# bluefin were biting pretty good for awhile. We managed to get one stop in before it was over.
We are enjoying the calm weather and biting fish. Been a pretty fun morning.
We’re going to try catch a few trophies this afternoon before we have to go home.

Jul 21 (Jul 20-23) 3 day Limited load

July 21st, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good afternoon,
 
We drove around all night last night and it was pretty clear we were off the fish.  We saw two schools at around 3 and 4 in the morning.  Since the sun has come up we have been seeing good sign of these school-grade bluefin tuna.  We tried a handful of schools before we got one to bite a little bit.  We’ve been plunking slowly ever since. It’s light-line finesse style fishing. We’ll see what the afternoon brings.

Seeking Donations in Memory of Captain Potatohead

July 17th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Did You Know?|

Who remembers Dick Uranga of UFO and Ironman Lures? (aka Captain Potatohead)Most of us can’t forget him!
He taught us about fun, friends and family, and fishing.
The So Cal sportfishing community (and his dear family) lost him many years ago, but a dedicated group of anglers gather every year for an August 3-day fishing trip to remember him and all the lessons, and to catch some fish for family and friends.
Generous anglers purchase raffle tickets before and during the trip to win donated items. Those dollars (doubled by us at SearcherSportfishing) are donated to Dickie’s chosen charity, Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in LA.
If you are in the industry and would like to donate a raffle item, we will remember you too and Dickie will smile upon you from his prominent place in heaven.
Fishing tackle, gift certificates, clothing, and services are all welcome.
Contact Celia at Searcher: 619-226-2403 or searcher@searchersportfishing.com
Brought to you by a hard-working and generous donations committee (Bob Bower, Robert Aguirre, Terry Onishi, Mike Wicen, and PENN Fishing, Seeker Fishing Rods, FishBonz restaurants and MeltonTackle.
Dickie makes us do it.
