Evening!
Trip #2 with John Waggoner’s Charter set out Tuesday morning, and after a 30-hour search, we finally found the fish late this afternoon! We’re now seeing promising signs with a mixed grade, mostly ranging from 30 to 80 lbs. We’ve had a few bites and landed a couple, and we’re hopeful for tonight.

Evening!
After navigating the waters all day, we finally spotted some fish late in the afternoon. Managed to hook a couple of school grade models tonight, setting the stage for an exciting night ahead. With our 25-pound gear, we’re ready to reel in a diverse range, from 40 to 120 pounds. Good weather, good times, and a promising variety of catches await!

Captain Mike and the boys reported a successful night of bluefin fishing! They were able to boat a few nice fish in the 100-180# range after getting stops in the dark. Before dark they had a couple fish from a drift.
More reports and updates will follow, so stay tuned all weekend!

Happy Tackle Tip Thursday!
Steve Carson, pro-staffer with Penn Fishing, illustrates the important Surgeon’s Loop. It’s a heavy-line loop that can connect to the appropriate knot or hook, depending on the fishing conditions. This set-up is used when targeting the larger size yellowtail on 7-8 day trips such as those offered in the fall months aboard Searcher. Book your spot and get in some practice time with the Surgeon’s Loop! Thank you to Steve for providing another helpful video in this yellowtail series.

Happy Tackle Tip Thursday!
Steve Carson, pro-staffer with Penn Fishing, describes the perfect outfit when the 12-25# yellowtail are biting. It’s a 30# live-bait rig using the sliding sinker set-up, like on this Penn Fathom 15, 2-speed on a 8-foot rod. Yellowtail are the perfect target fish on a short or long trip out of San Diego! Make sure you are prepared on any trip you take when live bait are available.

Happy Tackle Tip Thursday!
It’s a tackle tip you’ve been waiting for! Are you targeting yellowtail, and not just any yellowtail, but the big ones? This demonstration by Penn Fishing Tackle’s pro-staffer, Steve Carson, is the perfect way to get prepared.
The Penn Fathom 2-speed, model 80 reel and the heavy dropper loop rigging will make it possible to catch that yellowtail of a lifetime on a longer trip aboard Searcher. Book one of our 7- or 8-day trips in the fall are a perfect opportunity to try this technique.
