Hello Anglers!
We couldn’t be more excited to once again be part of the world’s largest sportfishing show, Fred Hall in Long Beach. Captain Ryan will be at our booth (#611) through Sunday to answer all of your questions. If you are at the show, or in the area, stop by and say hi!
We are looking forward to an amazing season in 2017!
Join us aboard Searcher for the LADY ANGLER SPECIAL (3-day offshore tuna trip) from Friday August 26 to Monday August 29, 2016!
Pro staffers Lori Sachau of Turner’s Outdoorsman and Wendy Tochihara of Izorline will be on hand to provide their expert instruction, advice, support and valuable insight.
This trip is sponsored to the max! Turner’s and Izorline are sending giveaways, raffle prizes and contest awards!
Xtratuf Boots is sponsoring a pair of boots for each lady angler who books! Accurate Reels, Seeker Rods and Phenix Rods are donating prizes. Pelagic Gear is donating a treasure trove of apparel!
Lady anglers know how to give back – so this trip is also a fundraiser for the American Heart Association’s “Go Red for Women” campaign!

Howdy anglers: Nothing to report for our efforts yesterday afternoon, but we did find some yellowtail action this morning before we had to call it a trip! The yellowtail were 12-15 pounds and most were caught on the dropper loop.
We’re headed home and then coming back out for our last fishing trip of the year. Currently the weather is good and the forecast looks good too.
Good angling,
Capt Aaron and the Searcher crew
Searcher crew!! From Captain Aaron serving dinner to Ed in the galley hooking and handing off fish, the deck hands were on point and there at the drop of a hat to pick a good bait, cast, tie a hook, untangle a birds nest and so on. And don’t forget chef Charles–unbelievable food. We never went hungry between 4-course dinners, lunches, and snacks. The whole crew knew exactly what the next move was and were able to help in all aspects of the trip. So from the “ZZ Bottom Crew,” I wanna say how much we appreciated the most enjoyable trip. Fishing is called fishing for a reason and fact that Captain Aaron put us on so many quality fish is a bonus to me and my friends.
P.s. Please send a 2016 schedule so we can plan for a much longer trip.
The annual America’s FInest City Marathon is taking place on Sunday, August 16 and there will be road closures in the vicinity of Fishermans Landing between 7-9 a.m.
Typically, cars are allowed in and out of the Ace Parking lot only when there is a break in the flow of runners. After the main group of runners passes, the traffic goes back to about normal. They expect 7,000 runners!
Please plan accordingly and pack some patience. The trip arriving that morning will need extra time to exit the lot, and you may be delayed in entering the lot, especially between 7:30-8:30 a.m. (This is an estimate, since there’s no telling the speed of the runners, etc.)

Hello anglers: Today we had good action on yellowtail. We arrived after lunch and after figuring out where we needed to be, we started to land some fish. Most of the fish are in the 15# range with a few stand-outs over 20#. Everyone had a chance to land a nice yellowtail this afternoon. The weather was calm so it made for a nice day. Looking forward to returning to start the next trip.
Photos to follow.

Congrats to Ron Spier of Rancho Cucamonga, CA!
Hello anglers: We stopped to wet a line in the local yellowtail grounds today, though we got there a little late after the local guys had great fishing. It was good for everyone to get a little rail time and get to know the crew. We also got the new deck christened with some fish blood. Ron Spier from Rancho Cucamunga was the winner with the first fish this year–a nice-size yellow tail. He and Capt Kenny are pictured for today’s photo. We are headed south looking for some yellowfin tuna tomorrow.

There are over 100 new free spots located just outside the Ace Parking lot at Fishermans Landing and extending south down Harbor Drive in front of the marina and restaurants. These are for 72-hours or less only! So only for 1.5 trip customers. The construction of the area is still underway, but finishing up soon (we hope). As always, allow EXTRA travel time for parking.
Hello anglers: Great news from local waters with bluefin tuna caught in US waters! Some of the fish landed are up to 50 pounds. This is great for our future 1.5-day trips. Great news from the boats further out with catches of yellowfin tuna within 3-day range! Can’t wait to get out there.
