Jul 29 (Jul 28-Aug 5) 8-day Izorline and Turner’s Outdoors Open

July 29th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good afternoon,
We’ve been traveling the last couple days, headed south.  We bumped into a large area of dorado and had a go-around for dinner fare.  Nice weather rolling down.  We’ll be on the beach around San Pablo tomorrow morning.

Jul 26 (Jul 23-28) 5 day Poseidon Fishing Adventures

July 27th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good afternoon,
We saw plenty of fish last night but they were hard to catch. We left around 2am to try for yellowtail again. It’s been a fun day picking away on these nice yellows with surface iron yoyo and fly line fishing. Excellent grade of fish.
We’re making a move to mix it up and try find some biting tuna.

Jul 25 (Jul 23-28) 5 day Poseidon Fishing Adventures

July 26th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good evening,
We changed it up today and fished yellowtail this morning. We had some pretty good opportunity on 18-25lb yellowtail.  They put on a good show splashing around the boat.  They didn’t bite as well as we would have liked, but we scratched out a good morning.
After lunch time we took off in search of bluefin again. We are seeing incredible sign this evening.  It looks like a good set up for tonight.

Jul 24 (Jul 23-28) 5 day Poseidon Fishing Adventures

July 24th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good evening,
We saw an Incredible sign throughout the day here all day. We saw miles and miles of fish of all sizes.
We were able to drift and scratch out a few fsih throughout the day.  There were some pretty good opportunities on mostly 60-80lb fish. We have brochure weather here today, and it seems like a good set up for tonight.

Jul 22 (Jul 20-23) 3 day Limited load

July 22nd, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good morning,
We had a good morning!  These 25# bluefin were biting pretty good for awhile. We managed to get one stop in before it was over.
We are enjoying the calm weather and biting fish. Been a pretty fun morning.
We’re going to try catch a few trophies this afternoon before we have to go home.

Jul 21 (Jul 20-23) 3 day Limited load

July 21st, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good afternoon,
 
We drove around all night last night and it was pretty clear we were off the fish.  We saw two schools at around 3 and 4 in the morning.  Since the sun has come up we have been seeing good sign of these school-grade bluefin tuna.  We tried a handful of schools before we got one to bite a little bit.  We’ve been plunking slowly ever since. It’s light-line finesse style fishing. We’ll see what the afternoon brings.

Jul 19 (Jul 16-20) 4 day Accurate Fishing Open

July 19th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Hello anglers:
(We have an issue with sending photos. We’ll get them loaded when boat returns on Thursday.)
Captain Jason reported in with a better night of fishing. They got into some 25-40# bluefin tuna, plus some in the 60-120#  range. 
Team Searcher

One of the few bluefin caught the first night.

Jul 11 (Jul 9-12) Ryan Bussell and Friends Open

July 11th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good afternoon,
We are scratching up some yellowtail this morning. It’s been flurry-style and a beautiful grade of fish. Yoyo fishing and fly line sardines are working best.
We’re going to do a few cod drifts this afternoon before we head home.

Jul 10 (Jul 9-12) Ryan Bussell and Friends Open

July 10th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good morning,
We were off the fish until early this morning though we did have a few opportunities throughout the night. We’re seeing good sign this morning and are picking on big fish now. They are 100-150# bluefin.
Captain Mike and the boys

Congrats, Ashley!

Good evening,
 We had a very long day of bluefin tuna watching. We’ve seen an incredible sign throughout the day of 25-150lb fish.  We had a few opportunities throughout the morning but by mid day, they were impossible to hook.  It looks like a good set up for tonight.
