Long-range forecast from Capt Art

Hello anglers: So far on the long-range front has been some interesting. There is warm water already at Alijos Rocks and the Ridge and sea surface temperatures are in the mid 70’s. There are signs of wahoo and dorado on kelp paddies which unusual for this time of year. Generally we think about looking for kelps in October and some years into November.
What does this all mean? In my humble opinion it could mean a longer season, and it could also bring warm water fish further north. Two years ago we were catching and seeing wahoo north of San Benito island along with plenty of yellowfin tuna and dorado.
We are hopeful the warm water keeps moving north. It might provide us with more fishing time and less travel time. We had a seven day trip two years ago where we fished 6 out of the 7 days in the trip. That doesn’t happen very often but it could happen this year.
We are excited about the prospects for the whole season! Things are looking great with good signs of fish in several different areas. Don’t wait to make your reservation too long we only have a few trips that have room so call Celia or book online now!

Howdy anglers, Today was our day! We had very fun fishing for tuna this morning, and spent the rest of the day fishing kelps for yellowtail and some more tuna for the rest of the day. We are headed home. Capt Aaron and Searcher crew

Hello anglers: Today we had beautiful weather with light winds and not much swell. The fishing was great with plenty of action thoughout the day until about 5:30 PM. We had plenty of stops with yellowfin tuna on the troll. Zuker root beer and cedar plugs were hot today. We had a few fish on anchovies with 1-ounce sinkers and a few fish on artificial lures. We had a good stop on yellowtail on a kelp paddie and everyone had multiple chances at a yellow. Yo-yo lures donated from Tady lures helped out a lot. Many thanks to Tady lure for co-sponsoring this trip each year. We are spending the night and trying our luck again tomorrow. Hopefully the fish we saw will bite a little.
