Good morning,

Searcher drove out Saturday, July 27, 2024, on our 8-day with Turner’s Outdoorsman and Izorline sponsored trip with Pro-Staffer’s Lori Sachau and Wendy Tochihara.  We’ve had some good opportunities the past few days with incredible fishing on 30 – 70-pound yellowfin tuna.

Good evening,

We drove out Monday on the Poseidon Fishing Adventures sponsored trip. The day started off well and we had a good afternoon fishing for yellowtail at the islands. Promising signs and we’re planning to go at it again tomorrow. And guess who’s back?

Trip 20, Ryan Bussell Invitational, July 12-15

July 14th, 2024|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good afternoon,

Our first night we experienced steady bluefin fishing, picking away at good grade tuna all night for a total of 25 bluefin most over 100 for our 18 anglers. We then spent the day at the banks trying for yellowtail, although slow we managed about ten nice sized yellows for our efforts. After a couple good cod drifts, we headed back to the bluefin zone. Last night was much slower tuna fishing, only catching about ten. We’re now anchored up trying for yellowtail one last time before heading in.

Good morning,

Very good opportunities on the big ones again last night. Lots of stopping and lots of bites. World class bluefin tuna fishing.  The guys have had enough catching all these bluefin so today we’re going to see if we can catch.

Good evening,

Searcher set out Tuesday for trip 19, Denio’s Charter with Knee Deep Brewing Co. Last night was as good as it gets as far as opportunities on these big ones. Though it was choppy, and the conditions were tough, the fish wanted to bite, and we definitely got our shots. This morning we started seeing them again and hoping for another shot.

Good afternoon,

Over the past few days we’ve been seeing good signs of mixed-grade fish weighing between 40 and 200 lbs. They were very difficult to work with during the day, but we’ve been getting our shots and capitalizing on our opportunities after sunset.
