Captain Potatohead is Ready to Ride Again!

August 8th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Did You Know?|

It’s count-down time for our “fun-raiser” fishing trip to raise funds for Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in honor of our friend, Dickie “Capt Potatohead” Uranga.
We couldn’t do it without Melton International Tackle, Fisherman’s Landing Tackle Shop Fisherman’s Processing Bob Bower, Robert Aguirre, Terry Onishi and a special donation by Steve Kneip. Seeker Fishing Rods and PENN Fishing too! Stay tuned for reports on the fun, fishing, friends and family this weekend.

Seeking Donations in Memory of Captain Potatohead

July 17th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Did You Know?|

Who remembers Dick Uranga of UFO and Ironman Lures? (aka Captain Potatohead)Most of us can’t forget him!
He taught us about fun, friends and family, and fishing.
The So Cal sportfishing community (and his dear family) lost him many years ago, but a dedicated group of anglers gather every year for an August 3-day fishing trip to remember him and all the lessons, and to catch some fish for family and friends.
Generous anglers purchase raffle tickets before and during the trip to win donated items. Those dollars (doubled by us at SearcherSportfishing) are donated to Dickie’s chosen charity, Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in LA.
If you are in the industry and would like to donate a raffle item, we will remember you too and Dickie will smile upon you from his prominent place in heaven.
Fishing tackle, gift certificates, clothing, and services are all welcome.
Contact Celia at Searcher: 619-226-2403 or searcher@searchersportfishing.com
Brought to you by a hard-working and generous donations committee (Bob Bower, Robert Aguirre, Terry Onishi, Mike Wicen, and PENN Fishing, Seeker Fishing Rods, FishBonz restaurants and MeltonTackle.
Dickie makes us do it.

Cancellations and Waitlist

June 9th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Did You Know?|

Hello anglers!
We are receiving a large number of cancellations on long-held spots for 2023 trips. If you haven’t yet, please add yourself to wait lists for trips and we’ll call when a spot is open. Many anglers are getting that happy call right now!

Please recheck the trip dates you have booked, consider getting trip insurance, and give us as much notice as possible if you have to cancel so we can replace your spot and can then issue your refund.

We know anglers had to book their spot months ago, and with insurance and advance planning, we can make this work if change is needed.

Thank you from the land crew!
