Trolling around

Hello anglers: We made it  up to the bluefin tuna zone at daylight.It didn’t take long to find a small school of fish in the 25- 60 pound range. We managed to land 13 of that grade fish. We went a little further northwest and had a troll fish that was 15 pounds and we landed a few of that size fish. A little further northwest and we found a larger school of mixed size fish that were 15-40 pounds and we finished our trip there.

Hello anglers: We’ve had steady action this morning on the same size fish as yesterday. The sun is out and everyone is having a great time. Hoping for the action to continue this afternoon. We are travelling tonight about 100 miles to try for bluefin tuna tomorrow. More later, Team Searcher

Hello anglers: We had great fishing today. Most of the action was in the morning. Everyone had a great time. It was definately worth the long run to get here. Randy Farris and his sons Ryan and Brandon from Bakersfield are pictured with some of their yellowtail from today.

Hello anglers; We made the long run to catch some yellowtail and it paid off. We had excellent fishing this afternoon on 18-25 pound yellowtail. A flyline sardine on 40-pound test line was the method of choice today. A few fish were caught on yo-yo iron. Lots of fun had by all. We are spending the night and trying again tomorrow.

Hello anglers: Today was a great day of fishing! The yellowtail were biting throughout the morning and into early afternoon. Everyone had a chance to catch plenty of yellows. The method of choice was a dropper loop set-up with 50-80 pound test, a 4/0 – 6/0 J hook, and a 16 oz torpedo sinker, all with a live sardine and down to the bottom. There were a few fish caught with the yo-yo method, a 6x jr blue and white as usual, with 40-60 pound test line. We all had a really good time today with lots of laughs and comraderie at the rail with all our friends from Strictly Fish in Lakewood. We deserved to have a good day after paying some dues offshore the two days prior. We are travelling north tonight to get closer to home and have more fishing time on Thursday with hopefully a chance at some bluefin tuna. Team Searcher
