Trip 28, Izorline Sponsored Trip, Aug 12-16, 2024

August 14th, 2024|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good morning,

The Searcher set off Monday morning for our 4-day Izorline-sponsored trip, joined by pro-staffer Norm Fujimoto. Tuesday brought a great day at the bank, anchored and reeling in 20-40lb bluefin and yellowtail. We scratched almost all day, with plenty of time at the rail and lots of bites. After camping overnight, we’re ready to give it another shot today.

Good evening,

Awesome day of yellowtail fishing. Nice grade ranging between 15-35 lbs. Had a few pushing 40lbs.  Steady picking on the anchor all day. We went from sunup to sundown with nice flurries in between. Yo-yo lures seem to be the best.
