Captain Mike’s Blog

Today we have a very special guest, Lori from Turner’s Outdoorsman. Tackle Tip Thursday is all about first-time fishing and great tackle suggestions for any angler The Shimano Colt Sniper is a must have for any tackle box. The Shimano Colt Sniper is excellent for yellowtail or tuna, and the heavy Colt Snipers are great for bluefin. If you have more questions or want to talk tackle, Lori and the Searcher crew will be at Turner’s Outdoorsman in San Marcos for a free seminar and raffle. Come join us at 6:30pm tonight (7/11.)

Happy Independence Day! Today, we have Captain Mike talking red, white and Bluefin fishing. Captain Mike gives us the run down on sinker rig fishing. Things you will need include rubber band, 6-8oz torpedo sinker, and 60-80# line. Happy 4th of July and best fishes.

Today we are tackling bluefin tuna. The must have lure for bluefin is the flat fall. Art goes over two of the top flat falls that tuna are bitting right now, the SK-250g flat fall and Nomad-320g flat fall. You can get these bad boys at Fisherman’s Landing Tackle Shop or Turner’s Outdoorsman. (p.s. We do have them on board.)
