Searcher Finds ‘Em Close
“We spent the afternoon 110 miles from home fishing for big albies, yellowfin tuna and blufin tuna. We had great fishing, good weather and a lot of fun!
“We landed 64 albacore with all the fish in excess of 25 pounds with some fish weighing over 40 pounds. We also landed 19 yellowfin tuna in the 18 to 25-pound range.
“We had several troll fish and one trolling lure stood out as being really hot with fish on almost every rotation. It was a Braid speedster, green and yellow.
“This was a great way to end a good five-day trip. The group was great and Steve Carson from Penn University did a great job and had lots of tackle raffle off. Everyone went home with something to add to their box.
“Tanner Huffer from San Clemente received the sportsman of the trip award and won a new tackle box. Jim Hendricks won the artificial lure contest and won a new rod and reel. Steve also brought several demo outfits with Penn rods and reels and everyone had a chance to use that equipment with positive results. Penn is still one of the leading tackle manufacturers in my opinion.”
