We’re out on a 5-day fishing trip, sponsored by Let’s Talk Hook-up. Reports from the field will follow. Meanwhile Searcher regular, Joe Preciado of Imperial Beach, shows how it’s done–catching yellowfin tuna at Guadalupe Island. Video by Ray Guardiano
Photo Gallery Update If you see a photo of yourself on an 2009 fishing trip under “Photo Gallery,” you can order a print directly from SmugMug. Most people find it easy to do. They offer a variety of sizes and types, and even mugs, keychains and clothing. (Makes a great gift too, so drop some hints around home!) Many thanks to Steve Lamb, our photographer and cook, for most of the photos taken aboard.

We are currently operating a natural history tour but will be posting fishing news as we get it. Our next fishing trip leaves Sep 11 (5 days) and still has a few spots open!

Howdy anglers, We finished the day with over a hundred fish for our efforts and the weather is coming down. We ended up with 6 albies, 28 dorado, 106 yellowfin, and 10 yellowtail. Tip of the day: Make sure you can feel your bait–that helps reduce tangles. Good angling and hope to see ya on the water. Capt Aaron
Howdy anglers, Today the weather was up and the fish were down. We ran into the hot spot that we have been fishing and it didn’t pay off. We managed to capture a few, but not like the past few trips. So we’re moving into another area where some good catches were made and hoping to get even with those fish. We ended up with 6 albies, 20 yellowfin tuna and few dorado and yellowtail. Tip of the day: Be patient when pulling up to kelps. Wait until the boat stops and the captain says “OK.” It helps to minimize tangles. Good angling and hope to see ya on the water, Capt Aaron
Capt Kevin reported 133 yellowfin tuna, 6 albacore, and one dorado for the 1.5 day trip. More to follow!
Searcher regular, Kevin Justen, wrote a report of his recent 5-day trip with tackle insights and fishing stories. See his report under our “News” link above.
