Hello anglers:
We are off to a pretty good start today in the yellowtail zone! We’re enjoying some steady action for everyone. Live sardines and yo-yo lures have been the best method for the morning.
Capt Ryan Stahl is pictured with Gary Gillingham from Accurate Fishing Products with a nice yellowtail caught on one of his Accurate reels.
We’re also enjoying the good weather, with light winds and calm seas.

Hello all,
We are off to a slow start so far today. The weather is awesome with sunny skies and calm seas. We are working our way south on the coast with hopes of finding yellowtail for everyone. We had a few yellows in one spot and Ashley Maisel from Truckee CA landed a nice size yellowtail. She’s got the Luck o’ the Bootz! (she took a picture with Searcher celebrity Bootz upon departure for extra good luck!)
Hoping for more good stops this afternoon. More later!

Congratulations to our jackpot winners!

Howdy anglers,
Slow speed going up, and the first destination had poor conditions so we’re working up – so we should be to our next spot a little after lunch. This is what we’re looking for soon -some bent rods like this one with Chase Bierig!
day’s end report, transmitted at 8:00 pm Aug 8, 2016
We only got to fish for a couple hours this afternoon. but it was amazing yellowtail fishing! It was a great way to end a great trip – the weather is good, and we’re headed home.
Here is a happy group all holding some fish. The best method was on a flyline sardine with a 1 to 2 oz. slider and a nose-hooked sardine on 30-40 lb mono. Some were caught on the surface iron and only a couple on the yoyo iron.
We are heading home happy 🙂 It’s been a great time with Dennis Braid of Braid Products!

Howdy anglers,
Great day fishing for us here – had some action most all day long! Had good yellowtail fishing with a sample of yellowfin tuna mixed in as well. Here is another nice yellow caught by Stever O’Rourke on an Owner 1/0 ringed fly liner J hook.
Moving up the coast to try for a little more fishing time.
More tomorrow,
Capt Aaron and Team Searcher
Howdy anglers,
Good morning for us fishing for yellowtail, and even a few yellowfin tuna have been caught as well! Here is our trip sponsor, Dennis Braid of Braid Products, holding a sample of our catch today. Most of the fish have been caught on a 2 oz. egg sinker and a 2/0 hook with a sardine. Other methods have been doing ok – like a yoyo jig, and the surface iron has been effective as well.
We are going to keep at it – more later,
Capt Aaron and Team Searcher

Howdy anglers,
Tough conditions to report – we do have some wind today. We’re seeing kelp of all shapes and sizes, but they have no fish on them – though we did manage to get a nice 20lb dorado today caught by Stever O’Rourke. We’re headed south in hopes of finding a kelp with some fish on it. Wish us luck! More soon.
