Trip 7 (3 day) July 27-30, day 1

July 29th, 2018|Trip Reports|

Hello anglers,

We had some action today catching yellowfin tuna in the 8-16 pound range, and yellowtail and dorado. Most of the fish came from tuna  associated with common dolphin. And almost all the yellowtail and dorado were caught on kelp paddies. These fish were caught on the troll with an old reliable cedar plug as the “hot” trolling lure. Also using a live sardine and 20-pound line and a 2/0 or #2 hook was the right combination.
First-timer Greg S. caught his yellowtail on a loaner outfits provided by Accurate Fishing Products and Seeker Rods. Thank you for helping new anglers get into the sport of fishing!

There is so much life here: birds, orcas, fish, bait, and whales. We are staying the night and trying again tomorrow in this zone.

Our day for tuna measuring!

July 28th, 2018|Captain Mike's Blog|

On July 27, Searcher anglers returned to the dock with a good catch of yellowfin tuna. What they didn’t realize is that some of their tuna were measured and sent in to the data collection project for the US and state fisheries experts, as organized by SAC (Sportfishing Association of CA).

July 26th, 2018|Trip Reports|

Hello anglers,

We had good fishing today for yellowfin tuna in the 25-85# range. There were lots of bites on the kite baits, and plenty of bites on 50 pound line and fluorocarbon with a 2/0 hook. Here is Jake Brookman with Capt Art and a nice size tuna. Jake and his grandfather Roger had a nice day today. They’ve been fishing for years together aboard Searcher.

Hello anglers!

We had great action this afternoon. Everyone landed a fish today and everyone had opportunities to land a yellowfin tuna. Most of the fish are in the 30-50 pound class with a few bigger fish mixed in. Here is a photo of Capt Art and Michelle M. with her 50 pound yellowfin.

Trip #6 (July 21- 27) Turners Outdoorsman and Izorline Day 4

July 24th, 2018|Trip Reports|

Hello anglers!

We had some action this morning for catching yellowfin tuna and are getting chances to land a quality fish. The the same methods have proven effective: a 50-pound line set-up and a 2/0 circle hook gets a bite with a live sardine.

Manny Lemos had some help from Capt Art and got lucky enough to boat a fish that was tail-wrapped. It came in backwards and hs fish weighed in at 166 pounds. Manny is posing with this fish of a life time.

Trip #6 (July 21st- 27th) Turners Outdoorsman and Izorline Day 1-3

July 23rd, 2018|Trip Reports|

Hello all,

We started our trip today (6day) and caught a few yellowfin tuna and yellowtail. The fish were caught on live sardines with 50 pound line and fluorocarbon donated by Izorline! We saw plenty of fish in different areas but it wouldn’t bite. Now we just need the hungry fish.  Here is Lori Sachau from Turner’s ourdoorsman in San Marcos with a nice yellowtail!

Thanks to Turner’s Outdoorsman for all the support and the tackle bags for everyone on board. There will be raffles for everyone. Winners will receive rods and reels and lots of other good tackle to use on this trip. Thanks again Turner’s outdoorsman.

Morning report

 

Hello angler,

This is our 6 day trip sponsored by Turner’s Outdoorsman and Izorline. Low action morning of fishing. There has been a change in weather conditions here and so we haven’t figured out exactly where to be. Yesterdays hot spot is no longer hot. We will continue to work hard and hopefully this afternoon will be more productive. Wish us luck. 

Here’s Mike G. a first timer and his first tuna landed on one of our rental outfits. With 50 pound line and fluorocarbon with a 2/0 Owner circle hook. The fish weighed 82 pounds. More to come,

~Captain Art and Team Searcher
