The 13 passengers on the Ultra Limited Load 6-day had to show up early for check-in this morning – based on recent determination by our captains to include Guadalupe Island as a fishing destination on this trip! The excitement level was high, with many scrambling to purchase heavy test fluorocarbon for their tackle box arsenal! Keep up to speed with our return to “the Lupe“: we will be posting all reports from the field HERE, for you!

“Professor” Steve Carson showed up early to start the “Penn Fishing University” trip! His cart full of goodies was first in line, filled with Penn demo product, prizes, and test gear for the anglers/students on this popular annual trip!

Instead of a class syllabus, he shared a menu of prizes we will be tracking as this trip progresses! Capt Art is headed for The Ridge, they departed at 10:10 AM today, so stay tuned to the blog for updates!

Trip 24, the last Turner’s Outdoorsman-sponsored 1.5-day trip of this season, departed today under warm, sunny skies with a boat full of happy anglers ready for this exciting trip to get underway!  Turner’s reps Jason R. and Beto S. returned with another crate full of giveaways and raffle prizes for the lucky anglers!

We’ll let you know how their dawn-to-dark fishing day goes tomorrow! Capt Aaron will be sending us regular reports and we will post them here!

The team from Clearfly Communications will clearly be making some new friends with a limited load of only 17 anglers on this 3-day trip! They took off today and will be sending us regular reports from the field! Check back here to check them out!

Great news! Turner’s swag kings Jason R. and Beto S. are returning to Searcher for one last 1.5-day trip of the season! Turner’s Outdoorsman has been a fantastic sponsor this year, whether supporting the L.A.S.S.Lady Angler Trip or the recent Trip 21 1.5-day.  We can’t wait to see what Jason and Beto will be bringing aboard for the lucky anglers on this trip! Stay tuned – we will share the news with you right here on Capt Art’s Blog!

Steve Carson is packing his bags in preparation for trip 25, the Annual Penn Open 6-day aboard Searcher! The 24 lucky anglers who are booked on the sold-out trip are probably doing the same! This swag-packed trip is highly-anticipated for the opportunity to field test Penn demo reels and participate in the generous prize offering organized by Steve!

Searcher office helper Bootz helps us to unpack all of the awesome prizes each year! Check out this year’s prize menu! 

On this hot and sticky Friday, an eager group of anglers gathered to get out of town and get out on the water with Team Searcher for 3 days! This popular trip fills quickly each year, with many passengers returning annually to spend Labor Day Weekend with us! We will share the daily trip reports with you –  here! Good luck, Searcher friends! Have fun and don’t work too hard! 

The Turner’s Outdoorsman-sponsored annual 1.5-day trip departed this afternoon under beautiful weather conditions and with a big pile o’swag from the generous folks at Turner’s! There were poppers, flat falls, hooks, squish jigs, fluoro and braid at the “Take One of Everything” Tackle Store manned by Turner’s reps Beto S. and Jason R.  Our anglers got stocked up as they made their way to their staterooms!

Searcher friends Don and Danielle Gaskill

are doubling up on 1.5-day trips, having just returned today from the LTHU Open 1.5-day!

We will be posting Capt Art’s daily trip reports here, so keep checking back!
