Good evening anglers: BOO!

We gathered a few more wahoo this afternoon before we had to leave for our next destination. Click here for some tips on the most successful wahoo lures.  Most of our fish were caught trolling on Nomads and Marauders. We’ve really enjoyed this epic wahoo fishing for the last three days!

Today’s wahoo gang: Steven, Ron, Todd, John and Jack on one of the last stops today.

We will be trying for yellowtail (click here for the best lure selections) tomorrow along the beautiful Baja peninsula.

Wish us luck, we will check in with you tomorrow.

Happy Halloween fellow anglers,
Today, started off with a nice yellowfin tuna bite. Then we caught a few wahoo while trolling.  We switched it up a bit and headed to another location to fish the bottom. We had some good results on yellowtail and grouper. The best method of catching yellowtail and grouper was live bait on a dropperloop. The sun is out and the weather is nice so we will see what the rest of the day brings us. Wish us luck, Here is Ronald S. with his premium leopard grouper. ~Captain Shawn and Team Searcher.

Good Morning fellow anglers, 

Yesterday, we had another exceptional day of fishing on wahoo and tuna. Most of the yellowfin caught today are what I call primos. Tunas range from 25 to 45lbs. They were biting best flylining with 40 lb test, 40lb flouro and Owner 3/0 hooks. Almost all of are wahoo caught today were on wahoo bombs or fly-lined baits after jig strikes.The best lures to troll with were Nomads and Marauders. (Nomad pictured below.)

Our weather was nothing short of fantastic! Flat calm seas with a light breeze. We are going to stay put today, Wish us luck. Here is a shot of Captain Mike and Terry W. with a breathtaking yellowfin tuna.

Good Morning Anglers,

Yesterday, we had so very good wahoo fishing with all onboard catching a few. (Need a yummy recipe for your wahoo? Click here for a delicious recipe.)  Best way to get a bite was a live bait and 40lb or casting a wahoo bomb lure. Weather is beautiful sunny skies and flat calm seas. Going to stay in this area for today. Wish us luck. Heres John L. with a nice one. ~Captain Shawn and Team Searcher

Trip 27 or “Thom Carney Invitational” is off and fishing

October 29th, 2018|Captain Mike's Blog|

Our final trip of the season is off to the Ridge. Captain Shawn is on the hunt for tuna, yellowtail, wahoo, dorado and who knows what else we will catch or see. We are fishing, so limits of fun to be had. We are glad to have Thom Carney and friends (13 other anglers) aboard for an ultra-limited load fishing trip. That means lots of room at the rail and private cabins. Stay hooked to see all the great fishing action.
