Howdy anglers: Today was a different day for us. We didn’t catch much but the weather is still very good, so we’re going to enjoy our ride home. We’re coming back out for 5 days, so wish us luck! Good angling and hope to see you on the water soon, Capt Aaron and Searcher crew
Tackle tip: When using the same rig for multiple fish, it is very wise to change your line. It’s a very cheap investment to not lose fish.
Howdy anglers, The fishing was awesome today and the weather was very calm, almost no wind all day long and the forecast looks good too. We had a very good mix of yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna and some yellowtail, most of the day fishing in US waters. We’re going for fish tomorrow again, so wish us luck!
Tip of the day: Using circle hooks, especially fishing for bluefin, are crucial. It took a little convincing or people to use them after they were getting bit off. Here’s a sample of some tuna caught by father and son Joe and Troy Jacques of Hemet, CA.
Good angling and hope to see ya on the water soon,
Capt Aaron and the Searcher crew
