Howdy anglers: As talked about today fishing was phenomenal! We have a nice grade of yellowfin–up to 30lbs– and some really nice dorados too. We’re moving up the line tonight to be closer to home and get some more fishing time before we call it a already a very nice trip. Here’s a sample of the nice dorado we caught today by Peter Le of Pasadena, CA. Nice dorado, Peter.
Good angling and hope to see ya on the water soon, Capt Aaron and Searcher crew
Capt Aaron is out on a 3-day trip over the weekend. Stay tuned for his reports from the field here!
Hello anglers: Conditions are a little different day today with not much bkuefin tuna in the count. We had foggy conditions all morning so it was difficult to work. Yesterday we saw spots of fish on the surface and today there was no way to see them. We did have some good action on yellowfin tuna, however. We had some fish on the troll combined with some fish on bait.We came across a kelp paddie in the fog and had good action on small yellowtail and yellowfin tuna as well. Jesse Brown, 13 years old, from Oceanside and Capt Joe are pictured with a nice size yellowfin tuna that Jesse caught on the troll.
We are very encouraged by the appearance of this yellowfin tuna and warmer water closer to home. Looks like it has the potential for a good September.

Hello anglers: We had an excellent day of fishing today onm ixed sizes of bluefin and yellowfin tuna, with the biggest being about 45 pounds. Everyone had a great time with plenty of opportunity to catch fish. George Alfaro from Torrance is pictured with his nice size bluefin tuna. 
The weather is great with calm seas and very little wind. Looking forward to tomorrow. We will be able to fish until 2 or 3 pm and then head for home.

Hello anglers: We’ve got good action on 15-20 pound bluefin tuna with a few larger ones as well. Gary Wheeler from Arizona is pictured with his 40 pound bluefin tuna. The weather is calm and conditions look favorable for good fishing the rest of the day. There has been a big change in the last few days with yellowfin tuna showing up and the water temperature warming up to 72 degrees.
More later, Team Searcher
Hello anglers: We had good action on small yellowtail this afternoon. Everyone had a good time catching yellowtail. We did add to our tuna count with two nice-size yellowfin tuna that were on a kelp paddie. Logan Morgan from Mira Loma, CA is pictured with his yellowfin tuna. Logan also landed a good-size bluefin tuna this morning and then he finished off his day with a limit of yellowtail. And today is Logan’s birthday! 
Not a bad day with great weather and good fishing. He has a chance at the jackpot as well.

Hello anglers: We are 85 miles south of San Diego in the area where there are some nice-size bluefin tuna being caught. We have stopped a few times this morning and tried for these fish. They aren’t biting all that well, but we have managed to land six of these quality fish. Pictured is Dale Prince from Yorba Linda with a 70-pound bluefin from one of our stops this morning. Hoping for more. Team Searcher
Hello anglers: We had high hopes after lunch with a sign of the bigger fish and other boats catching fish as well. Unfortunately we didn’t find another school that wanted to bite. We tried several kelp paddies, spots of fish on the sonar and fathometer. They just wouldn’t bite. We have 45 mixed fish aboard with the highlight being the 40-70 pound bluefin and a couple of dorado.
