Howdy anglers: We got a chance at a few more very nice bluefin tuna this afternoon. We got 4 more in that 60-100# range, so we’re headed in to try some more tuna action tomorrow. Wish us luck tomorrow! Here’s another nice bluefin caught by Jon Drivick of San Diego, CA

Tip of the day: Sinker rigs when the fish are deep–a 4-8oz torpedo with a rubber band on your line can get you in the zone.
August 9–big bluefin show!
Howdy anglers: What a afternoon! We didn’t see much yellowfin this afternoon, but we were very fortunate to find a school of 60-100lb bluefin tuna in US waters. We ended at dark with 19 of those beautiful fish and we’re gonna try for another shot of them. The weather is calm and it looks good for the future.
Good angling and hope to se ya on the water soon,

August 9 (Braid Products Open)
Howdy anglers: We had a good morning fishing for yellowfin tuna, and we had a kelp for some fun dorado and yellowfin. The weather is calm and it’s down-right nice. Here’s a sample of the dorado caught by David Swanson.
Hoping for more action this afternoon,
Capt Aaron and Searcher crew
Tip of the day: When it is calm and no wind, it can be very hard to get a bait to swim. It’s important to keep contact with your bait.

Howdy anglers: We had a little action this afternoon on some yellowfin tuna and a nice dorado.The weather is very nice and it supposed to stay the same.We’re gonna be in the same area tomorrow, so wish us luck

Tip of the day: Just because it’s the biggest bait in the bait trays doesn’t mean it’s gonna swim best or get a guaranteed bite.

Mid-day report August 6
Howdy anglers: What a morning’s day of fishing! We have a day’s limit of yellwofin tuna and it all started with a morning bite while having the sea anchor out. Here’s a sample of the tuna:
Tip of the day: When not getting bites it could be helpful to try a smaller hook, even using a non-ringed hook the same size. It could make a difference.
Good angling and hope to see ya on the water soon,
