Dorado too!

September 15th, 2013|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hello anglers: We weren’t able to find anymore bluefin tuna this afternoon. We stayed busy with small yellowfin tuna and a few dorado. Chuck Dominique from Las Vegas AKA “LD” (loose drag) is pictured with Capt Art and a nice-size dorado caught on live bait. We are headed further south to hopefully find some good-grade yellowfin tuna and dorado tomorrow.

Yellowtail action

Hello anglers: We are having a good morning with action on good-size yellowtail in the 20 pound range.We are having to work at getting bites but we are seeing good signs of yellowtail and we are hoping they bite a little later.

Thursday wrap-up

September 12th, 2013|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hello anglers: We had hoped for a few more yellowtail this afternoon but conditions prevented us from fishing where we wanted to with 30 knots of wind and current running into the wind. We ended up landing some nice size yellowtail today and everyone had plenty of chances to catch a nice one. We are headed north tonight and hoping to fish a little tomorrow late morning, weather permitting. Team Hello all,

Different day and traveling south

September 11th, 2013|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hello anglers: We didn’t have the same good luck this morning as we yesterday morning. We saw fish but it wouldn’t bite for us. We had hoped to get a few more bluefin tuna before travelling south to try for yellowtail. We landed some 15-20 pound bluefin at daylight and then didn’t catch anything after that. We departed for the yellowtail zone at 10:30 looking for kelp paddies with yellowfin tuna and dorado. We had some success the rest of the day with a few small yellowfin and a few nice-size dorado. 
Looking forward to tomorrow!
More then, Team Searcher

Back on the bluefin!

September 10th, 2013|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hello anglers: Great fishing this morning with steady action on 30 to 50 pound bluefin tuna. A flyline sardine on 40 pound floro-carbon and mono with a 4/0 circle hook has been the outfit of choice so far. Pictured is Dan Ranta from Vista with his Dad Adrian and friends Tim and Jeremy all from Minnesota. Everyone has had a good chance at these quality bluefin tuna.

One of the best days

September 10th, 2013|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hello anglers: We’ve had excellent fishing for quality bluefin tuna all day today. I’m sure the average fish is 40 to 45 pounds. I can’t recall having a better day this season as far as the quality is concerned, and everyone had multiple chances at landing one of these bluefin tuna. A tackle tip for today was to use a circle hook, as these fish have teeth so if you use a standard J-hook you had a pretty good chance of getting bit off. Team Searcher

The wind has been nice for us and we’re looking for more good angling and hope to see ya on the water soon. Here’s another nice yellowfin caught by Sean Drabek jr. of Wildomar, CA. Good angling and hope to see ya on the water, Capt Aaron
