Good evening anglers: We had a slow day on yellowfin tuna fishing, but those we caught were nice ones. It was a good trip and we have lots of happy anglers.
Congratulations to Tim C. for his jackpot-winning 29.4# yellowfin tuna!

Good afternoon anglers: Today we are paddy hopping with some good success on dorado and yellowfin. We are having a great time with great weather.
Here’s Shawn T. Jr with Kento I. from Hawaii and a nice dorado, thought Kento probably calls it a “Mahi-mahi!”

Good evening anglers:
We had a great day of dorado and yellowfin tuna fishing. Most of are fish were caught on fly-lined baits,poppers, and colt snipers.
We will be moving tonight to better our chances at some tuna fishing. Wish us luck!
Here is a real nice dorado that Robert J. caught.

Today, we are fishing the offshore tuna grounds with our Turner’s Outdoorsman sponsored trip. (Who brought lots of great prizes for our anglers.) We are catching yellowfin tuna. Weather good and we are having a great time. Heres Bob Fletcher and Susie M. with a healthy yellowfin. ~Captain Shawn and Team Searcher
Good afternoon anglers:
This morning we had good yellowtail fishing for 18-25lb fish. Our most successful method was using 40-50lb line and a fly-lined bait. In addition, surface irons (7x Salas, Tady 45, both green and white, and blue and white) were useful.
Today’s fishing wraps up our 7 day Penn Fishing University trip. We want to give a big thanks to Steve Carson and Penn Reels for all the great giveaways.

This afternoon we set out to catch some wahoo and we did just that! All the fish were caught on the troll but we had some very happy anglers at the end of the day! We will be heading up tonight to try our hand at yellowtail. Wish us luck!

Afternoon report:
So far today we have had some very good yellowfin tuna fishing with fish averaging15-40 lbs. The best way to get a bite has been on sardines, fly-lined or small jigs. Here’s Kurt P. with a yellowfin.

Good evening anglers:
Today ended up being a fantastic day on the water with biting fish and good weather! Yellowfin, dorado, and yellowtail were on the menu. Ourbest action was early in the day and the Flat Falls, Colt Snipers, and 6x juniors were the successful lures, or fly-ined sardines with 40 lb and a 3/0 hook.
We will spend the night here and try are luck tomorrow. 
Stefan M got this quality yellowfin today!

Good evening anglers:
Today we had some scratch fishing on wahoo, yellowfin, and yellowtail. The most effective methods for wahoo were trolling Marauders. For yellowtail and tuna it was a flyline sardine, with a Salas 6x jr or raider jig. Our weather was a little choppy today with 16-20 knots of breeze. We are gonna stay where we are and give it another try tomorrow,
Wish us luck!
