Trip 2 (4 day) June 30-July 4 Izorline Special

Jul 1 2016

Trip 2 (4 day) June 30-July 4 Izorline Special

July 1st, 2016|Trip Reports|

Hello anglers,
Our first day with Norm Fujimoto and friends from Izorline was a struggle as far as the fishing goes. We spent the day in search of yellowtail and we saw some good signs of fish. We caught a few, and the ones we caught were the 20-pound class. The weather is awesome and we had some laughs–what a great group of anglers! Capt Art and one of our long time customers Howard Folmer is pictured with one of the yellowtail Howard caught today.
But all the contributions from Izorline were terrific and made the day a lot of un. Norm had a raffle with cool prizes. Tady lures set us up with plenty of lures for everyone. Izorline gave out t-shirts and spools of line and flourocarbon. Lots of goodies to start the trip!

Trip 1 (3 day) June 25

June 26th, 2016|Trip Reports|

Hello anglers: We worked hard today with not much luck. It was the ol’ “should have been here yesterday” scenario with good reports from the day before. Unfortunately the conditions changed and the yellowtail wouldn’t bite. After trying for yellowtail we went offshore and found some groups of common dolphin that had signs of small yellowfin tuna. We caught 4 12-pounders on the troll, but nothing on the bait. The conditions were great with 67.5 degree blue water. We anticipate catching something in the same area in the future.
We end this trip with an “E for effort” with lots of hard work but not much to show for it. One really great thing is the new bait tank worked really well! Lots of room back there and the bait thrived. The hand wells allow for multiple people to access baits at the same time. Lots of positive feedback from the anglers.
Looking forward to the next trip! There is space on the Izorline-sponsored 4-day leaving June 30th.

Trip 1 (3 day) June 24 report

June 25th, 2016|Trip Reports|

Hello anglers: We started in the area where the bluefin tuna has been seen the past few days. Only the fish didn’t show up there today! We headed south looking for kelp paddies and yellowtail. We saw several kelps and a few had fish on them. Most of the yellowtail were on the small side, but keepers, and a few were better grade fish. Capt Ryan is pictured with Ross Langley from Oceanside and his good-size yellowtail.
Hoping for better results tomorrow, Team Searcher

Trip 1 (3 day) June 23 daily report

June 24th, 2016|Trip Reports|

Hello anglers: We arrived at the tuna zone just in time for all the schools to go down. We did see two spots of fish late in the day.–they didn’t want to bite unfortunately. We managed to hook and land an 18-pound yellowfin tuna. So, Robert King from Granada Hills was the lucky angler and he drew first blood to start the 2016 fishing season! Robert won a Shimano flat fall lure for landing the first fish. He and Capt Aaron are pictured in the bow with his fish. Hoping for better luck tomorrow, Team Searcher

World Premiere: Searcher’s New Bait Tank!

June 22nd, 2016|Captain Mike's Blog|

The final touch was placed today on this year’s exciting Searcher project: our brand-new custom bait tank!  John of Shelter Island Sign Shop carefully and expertly placed the Searcher decals on the side of our new hand wells!  The new bait tank is fully functional and is ready to rock!

ssbt3artfinal

Since our last update, the tank was attached to the deck, the plumbing was installed and the exterior finish was applied.  Our own “Team Bait Tank” (Captains Aaron and Ryan) worked long days getting this final phase of the project finished! The end product is fantastic!  We can’t wait to put our new bait tank to work as we begin our fishing season!  Join us on an upcoming trip and try it out!
