Hello anglers!

Looks like 2020 fishing season is off to an early start offshore San Diego. Local boats are reporting catches of bluefin tuna already, and Captain Art reports here on news from spotters in the sky.

Anglers are booking our June and July trips, in hopes of connecting with this early showing. Check here for any available spots: Searcher Sportfishing 2020 trips
