Good morning anglers: We started our day by catching a few fish after sunrise. Dan Carrier from Irvine landed this 25-pound yellowtail with 30 pound line and a live bait. 
Not a bad way to start the day! Hoping for good results today.

Hello anglers: We are patiently waiting for some tuna to show up here today! We see signs of them but they are not in the biting mode yet. We hope to have some action this afternoon on yellowfin tuna like the one Terry Wade landed just minutes ago.
The weather is awesome with light winds and calm seas,. The sun is out and it is very warm. The water temperature is 78 degrees!
More later,

Hello anglers: We found some action this afternoon! Everyone had a chance to land yellowtail in the 15-pound class. A dropper loop and live bait was the most successful method. A few fish were landed using yo-yo lures as well. Today’s photo is Capt Kenny with Anne Lahue from Redondo Beach and a good-size yellowtail.
We are headed further south tonight.

Hello anglers: We started on the coast fishing for yellowtail today, but things have been a bit slow so far. We are hopeful that the fish we see on the fish finders start to bite soon! Our long-time Searcher customer, Mas Kaneko, landed a nice yellowtail this morning and is pictured with Capt Kenny. 
We are hopeful for this afternoon.

Hello all,
We started our day on the coast for some more yellowtail but only landed a few. We headed offshore to find a kelp paddie and some dorado to end the trip. The conditions were not the greatest as the wind came up due to the tropical weather in the area. We did find a kelp paddie and had some action, but the conditions made it difficult. Everyone had a chance at landing a dorado.
Headed home with a nice catch but had to work for every one of the fish we caught.
Thanks to Steve Carson for all the hard work before, during and after the trip. He makes it worthwhile for everyone on board with all the giveaways from various sponsors. The loaner tackle he and Penn provides is awesome. Looking forward to doing it again next year.

Hello anglers: We had a good day with action on good-size yellowtail. Everyone had a great time with lots of laughs and a little chaos when the fish were biting…25 pound yellowtail have a way of causing chaos! A dropper loop with a live bait was the method of choice today with a few fish on artificial lures and flyline live bait. Today’s photo is of our long time sponsor Steve Carson with Capt Aaron and a nice yellowtail.
We are headed north tonight so we can have more fishing time tomorrow.

Hello all,
Well, today was different than yesterday. We had all our action in the morning today, while yesterday was all in the afternoon. Every day is different out here, that is what makes it interesting and challenging. All in all, we had a good day with yellowfin tuna and yellowtail. The grade of fish was much better today. It is always great when everyone has a chance at a good size fish. This afternoon’s photo is of Ron Shulz AKA Tator from Grapevine, TX and Capt. Joe with a nice yellowfin tuna.
Headed north to try for yellowtail tonight.
