Trip 24 (1.5 day) Sep 12-14 Mid-day report

September 13th, 2016|Trip Reports|

Howdy anglers: We had a great stop this morning and caught some yellowfin tuna. They average about 25 pounds. The weather is great and we’re hoping to catch some more this afternoon.

Afternoon update: Less action this afternoon, though we found a really nice school that stayed with the boat and bit a little. We’re headed home to come back out on a 6-day. The weather is amazing all day.

Howdy anglers: We gave it every effort to put yellowfin tuna aboard yesterday and they wouldn’t bite anything we had to offer. There’s plenty of fish around, so we haven’t given up hope. Wish us luck!

Trip 22 (3 day) Sep 2-5 Labor Day

September 5th, 2016|Trip Reports|

Hello anglers,
We’ve had steady action on 70-90 pound bluefin tuna this afternoon. We are landing some of them, but we also have lost quite a few. Our folks are a bit tired from pulling on these big fish yesterday, and so that has been a factor. But we’ve all had multiple chances to land one of these quality fish. Pretty exciting!

Trip 22 (3 day) Sep 2-5 Labor Day Special, Day 1 report

September 4th, 2016|Trip Reports|

Hello anglers,

We had a slow start to our day, but at lunchtime things started to happen. Afternoons have been the best time of day for some reason. We have landed some nice-size bluefin tuna with high hopes of more fish throughout the rest of today.

James Kim from W Rolling Hills, CA is pictured with one of his 3 bluefin tuna he landed today. His method, which is obviously successfull, is to use 40-pound mono and flourocarbon, and a 1/0 circle hook with a live sardine.trip22kim

Charley and Dan served up some pork carnitas for lunch. They were awesome! Charley put the meat in the oven at 3:45 a.m. so it was really tender.

More later, Team Searcher

Hello anglers,

We had a great afternoon with lots of chances to land a 70-90 pound bluefin tuna! Just about everyone on board landed at least one tuna and our goal to make sure everyone gets a quality fish.

It’s time for Thanksgiving in September at dinner! Charley’s traditional turkey dinner with chorizo stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, salad and fresh bread. With brownies and ice cream for dessert. Nice job, Charley and Dan.
Hoping to repeat our fishing day again tomorrow.
