2019 Searcher Haul-out

December 17th, 2019|Trip Reports|

It’s December and time for our annual haul-out at Al Larson Boat Shop in San Pedro, where wooden boats are treated with care.

It’s also time for the required annual hull inspection by US Coast Guard. Searcher passed with flying colors, even down to the check on near-original hull fasteners that were in pristine shape! All good to go for the 50—year old Searcher. We are kicking off our 50th year with a Tackle Talk at the Dock a Free event. Click here to hook all the details.

Good Evening anglers,

We wrapped up our trip here with some wide open action on smaller grade yellowtail.  We released quite a few but there were some worthy of a tag.  Here’s one of the large schools we stopped on this afternoon.  That’s a wrap for this trip and our fishing season.  Thanks for fishing with us this year, we hope to see everyone back again next year.

Good morning anglers,

This morning we were able to scratch up a few hand fulls of 15-18lb yellowtail on the yoyo lures.  It was not red hot but non the less we had some action,  We have a few hours this afternoon as well to fish this area before we have to call it a trip.  Here’s Steve L. with one of his 3 he caught this morning. Here is your tackle tip of the day to catch yellowtail  is a Salas 6x scrambled egg color.

Good evening anglers,

We left the main bank this morning after our tuna bite tapered off to search of kelps. We found a couple kelps loaded with dorado and a few wahoo. We were able to scratch up a nice afternoon on the wahoo. It’s all smiles and high fives today. We’ll be on the beach somewhere tomorrow looking for yellowtail. Here’s Garrick and Tater (Ron) with a pair of kelp ‘hoos.
