Nov 10 (November 7-15) Ridge Special
Good morning,
We’ve had some good action this morning on 12-40# yellowfin down here on The Ridge. We idled south all night and got here right at sunrise. We looked around for about a hour, then put the anchor down and went right to work. They’ve since backed off, but we pick one off every now and then. It’s very choppy at the moment so we have not done much trolling for wahoo yet.
Captain Mike and the boys
Nice one, Danny!
Good evening,
Our weather did not cooperate at any point today, though we managed to keep picking away at these tuna all day for the anglers that wanted them. We caught one wahoo on the anchor today too so we’re hoping we get a shot tomorrow to drive around and strike them up.

Nov 9 (November 7-15) Ridge Special
Good morning,
We put the brakes on last night due to high traffic today down on The Ridge. It seems to have paid off. We’re picking away at the yellowtail here this morning. Good yoyo and dropper loop fishing. The fish are 10-18#. Long drift, plunker-style with flurries.
Captain Mike and the boys
New Yorker Romas enjoyed catching this Baja yellowtail!
Good evening,
The action on the yellowtail continued throughout the day all the way up until dark. Everyone is pretty stoked on how the day went with lots of rail time and lots of bites. Dropper loop and yoyo was best today.
We’ll be on The Ridge in the morning.

Nov 5 (Oct 30-Nov 7) Ultra-limited load
Hello anglers:
We tried for yellowtail on the coast yesterday and only had a sample. We looked at multiple spots through the day and saw some fish but they didn’t bite.
We are traveling north in good weather today. Breaking tackle down and cleaning the boat.
Captain Art and Team Searcher
Good fishing on The Ridge now, with a chance at landing a tuna this size. Congrats Janette!
Nov 4 (Oct 30-Nov 7) Ultra-limited load
Hello anglers:
We had some tough conditions today with lots of wind. We had a little action on smaller yellowtail and we released some and tagged a few. The wind backed off at noon so we were able to troll around a little. We had a couple people without a wahoo for this trip, so we let them troll and watch all the trolling rods.
One of our long time Searcher family members, Pat Graham, was lucky enough to land a wahoo. We started travelling north this afternoon to try for yellowtail tomorrow on the coast.
Captain Art and Team Searcher
Happy about his wahoo!
Nov 3 (Oct 30-Nov 7) Ultra-limited load
Hello anglers:
The tuna fishing continues to be good and everyone now has plenty. The weather has changed significantly with more wind, so we’ll be watching where we go from here.
We were able to troll around this morning and had some wahoo action. We are hoping to try again after lunch.
Captain Art and Team Searcher
70# wahoo caught on the troll!
Nov 2 (Oct 30-Nov 7) Ultra-limited load
Hello anglers:
Great action on 12-35# tuna this morning. The tuna started to bite before daylight and continued until 10 am. Everyone had a great chance at landing a yellowfin. Live sardine was the best method.
We trolled for wahoo and found a few in the afternoon. There was some opportunities and half the group landed a wahoo.
Captain Art and Team Searcher
Matt caught this nice one on a wahoo bomb

Hello anglers:
We arrived at the 13 fathom spot ths afternoon. We trolled around for an hour with no wahoo strikes, so we dropped the anchor.
We had some action on 12- 40 pound yellowfin tuna. We stayed busy until sunset and everyone had a chance at a tuna.
We are spending the night and trying again tomorrow.
