Trip #22 (7-day) Sep 23-30, sponsored by Seeker Rods (Day 2)

September 24th, 2018|Trip Reports|

Hello all,

Today was seminar day! (Tackle tips and it was not even Thursday. Lucky anglers!) We went over all the terminal tackle options from A to Z. Then we talked about what to do to avoid tangles. It’s always interesting to discuss connections: braid to fluorocarbon, or braid to mono and then fluorocarbon. It turns out everyone has their favorite method! I like to use a topshot of mono which acts as a shock absorber since it has some stretch to it.

Check out our link on Tackle Suggestions page for more on connections: TACKLE SUGGESTIONS

The rest of the morning has been spent rigging our gear and preparing for fishing by tomorrow. We are enjoying the good weather and traveling. The bait still looks happy and healthy.

Trip #22 (7-day) Sep 23-30, sponsored by Seeker Rods

September 23rd, 2018|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hello anglers,
We departed today on a 7-ay trip with Fred Brandt, pro-staffer from Seeker Rods and headed for The Ridge. Today anglers relaxed and got re-acquainted with old friends from the Searcher family. We all watched some football and golf too.
We have a beautiful load of bait that has been curing at the recievers for a week! I’m pretty pleased with the quality. Tomorrow will have a seminar and do lots of rigging everyone. We plan to start fishing Tuesday.

Fred from Seeker is checking on line on one of his reels and the trip has only just begun!

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.

Ocean to Galley: Marinated Seared Ahi

September 18th, 2018|Captain Mike's Blog, Ocean to Galley Recipes|

Looking for a way to prepare all your Searcher-caught yellowfin tuna? How about chef Geri Sue’s creamy Italian marinade with a nice sear on the fish?

Marinade (makes 12 servings):

1 cup olive oil

1/4 cup cider vinegar

2 tbsp diced onion

2 tbsp diced garlic

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp ground mustard

2 tbsp Italian herbs

 

Mix 1 egg with the oil and other ingredients. Add a dash of salt and pepper. Marinate fish fillets for 1/2 hour.

Sear: Cook marinated fish on a medium high grill for just a minute or two on each side. Fish should remain pink in the middle.

Enjoy! And send us photos of your creation!

Here is a photo from Angler Dave B. Off the boat in the morning and on the table for dinner, doesn’t get any better.

Trip #19 Penn University (Sept 11- 18) 7 day, The Ridge

September 17th, 2018|Trip Reports|

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.
