Yellowfin tuna show!

August 27th, 2010|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hello anglers, Today there was some great news on the offshore scene. Boats at 90 to 100 miles from San Diego caught yellowfin tuna in the 8-20 pound range. It is the first catch made offshore in quite awhile. The report is a good-size area about 15 miles long and 5 miles wide, with a temperature break included. We are headed there and will be there first thing in the morning. Hopefully we will have good timing and give our group a chance at some tuna. We have some room on a 1.5 day trip next week and if this bite continues, it would be a perfect opportunity for some offshore action. We also have some space available on our 3-day Labor day trip. More tomorrow, Capt Art

Island Special by Bill Roecker

A five-day limited load trip with only ten passengers aboard the Searcher arrived at Fisherman’s Landing August 27. The trip was skippered by Aaron Remy and visited Cedros Island for some extra-large yellowtail.

“It was good fishin’,” said Remy at the dock. “The weather was hot and sunny, the way it’s supposed to be.”

Jennifer Funk of San Pedro fished with jigs, and yoyoed up a toady 43.6-pound mossback on a Salas 6X Jr. in blue and white for first place. She said she fished a 50-pound Izorline and 65-pound Power Pro Spectra and an Avet HX reel and a Calstar 760 M rod. The fight lasted ten minutes.

Jack Rauch of San Rafael got a 39.8-pound yellow for second place. Dave Easton of Pt. Loma took a 38.8-pound yellowtail for third place.

Howdy anglers, Our efforts to be a tuna boat were not completely a loss. We managed to capture a single bluefin tuna, and we did it at the last minute of our day. So we’re on our way home and will come back out for a 3-day trip with Capt Art at the helm. The weather is acceptable and the forecast looks favorable. So good angling and hope to see ya on the water soon, Capt Aaron

Howdy anglers, Today we targeted some different species and they didn’t bite. But we managed to catch some more yellows along the way as we worked up the line to get us in position to try for some tuna. Those things gotta bite sometime soon so we’re hoping tomorrow is the day! The weather is great going up had sun all day long and it’s great traveling up so cross your fingers for us tomorrow and we will let you know how it pans out. Good angling and hope to see ya on the water soon, Capt. Aaron

Howdy anglers, Wow, another great day for us aboard SEARCHER! It all started at daylight at Cedros Island when we had steady action whenever the boat stopped. The quality of fish today was what we call PREMIUM since they are averaging 25 to 38 lbs each. So we’re off to attempt some more fishing tomorrow and hope we can repeat it again. Tip of the day: There is no mackeral too big! Just to prove my point, I grabbed the biggest one in the tank and I got a bite. So good angling and hope to see ya on the water soon, Capt. Aaron

August 23–Day’s end

Howdy Anglers, For our first day at San Benitos for the afternoon we had a great time and we’re all stoked! We had some steady action from the time we got here at about 4 p.m. until dark. Most of our fish are 15to 18 lbs with a couple of nicer sized ones in the mix So we’re headed to Cedros to target some premiums. All the techniques worked today: yoyo jigs, sardines, and surface lures. Good angling and hope to see ya on the water, Capt. Aaron
