Hey there, Another day on the grounds today. Fortunately we had a little action and we landed 5 of the bigger yellowfin tuna. We landed two fish over 200 pounds and the other fish are in the 140-160 pound class. Danny Coe from Woodland Hills and Carl Schmidt from San Diego landed the 200 pounders and Lloyd Doyle from Long Beach landed a 152 pounder. Alex Ruiz from Alta Loma landed a 145 pounder and Kent Cremolini from Walnut Creek landed a 155 pounder. So we were rewarded for our efforts the past two days and are headed for another spot where we can anchor up, let everyone fish and still have a chance at catching a big yellowfin tuna. More tomorrow, Capt Art

Hey there, We replenished our bait supply really well last night. Then today, we arrived in the zone where there is a chance to catch a big yellowfin tuna. We didn’t catch one of those big fish but we did look at quite a few fish and we hooked and lost two of them. The weather remains good and we are staying in this zone another day and hope that the fish cooperate tomorrow. Capt Art

Hey everyone, Today was a day looking offshore for paddies and whatever we could find. The weather is still outstanding with an hour or two of light rain this morning. We didn’t have any trouble finding kelps today, but finding one that had fish on it was another thing. We did find one good size paddie this afternoon that had a few wahoo and a few good size dorado. Doug Nance from San Diego had his 50th birthday today and he celebrated with landing two nice wahoo –a birthday to remember. We did find some more yellowfin tuna associated with common dolphin and we had some action for a couple of hours. The size of those fish was the same as what we saw at Alijos Rocks–25-40 pounds. We are headed for the bait grounds tonight and then we will concentrate on better size fish tomorrow. Capt Art

Dec 4–Mid-day report

December 4th, 2008|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hey anglers, We have steady fishing on yellowfin tuna this morning. They are a little bit bigger than yesterday afternoon too. We manage to keep a couple of fish hooked at a time and occasionally we have 4 or 5 going. It is a nice pace–not too hectic back there in the stern. If we keep this up we will have enough of this size fish and we will move in towards the coast to try for bigger fish. The weather is the same, it doesn’t get much better than this. More later, Capt Art

Dec 4–Day’s end report

December 4th, 2008|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hey anglers, Unfortunately the fish didn’t cooperate this afternoon. Conditions didn’t match the day before. We moved around quite a bit but couldn’t get anything to bite. We are travelling east towards Mag Bay with hopes of finding some wahoo and dorado on paddies tomorrow. That will put us in position to replenish our bait supply tomorrow night. More tomorrow, Capt Art

Dec 3–Mid-day report

December 3rd, 2008|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hey anglers, We arrived at Alijos Rocks at around 11a.m. We made a tour and saw a few fish on the fishfinders. We have about 20 yellowfin tuna so far and we are hoping for more. The weather is outstanding with overcast skies and calm seas. More later, Capt Art

December 3rd, 2008|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hey Anglers, Well things turned out pretty well this afternoon for us with good fishing for 25 to 40 pound yellowfin tuna. We are staying here tonight and we are hoping for the same type of action tomorrow. The weather is still outstanding. More tomorrow, Capt Art

Hey anglers, Today we are travelling and the weather is great! We have almost no wind and no swell. Yesterday we departed from San Diego. Everyone arrived early so we loaded our group at 8 am and we left the dock at 9:15. We got a great load of bait that has been curing in the receivers for about two weeks. It is a good thing we left early because we will be able to arrive at our first fishing spot before lunch. We are headed to Alijos Rocks where there are good reports of yellowfin tuna. Everyone is setting up their tackle for live-bait fishing. We have lots of eager fisherman who can’t wait to get a line in the water! We will check in tomorrow at mid day and let everyone know how we are doing. On a side note, we will determine the winner of our 2008 SONAR program at the end of this trip so stand by for the winner of the Shimano rod and reel and the 2009 fishing trip on Searcher. If you don’t get the 2009 schedule in the mail in the next few days, call Celia. She will be happy to send you one. More tomorrow, Capt Art

Fishing down…

December 1st, 2008|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hey anglers: We’re on our way south, looking for some good fishing on our last trip of 2008. On this trip we’ll be selecting the winner of our year-long promotion as well. On the last day, I’ll pick the SONAR winner of the Shimano rod/reel and the 2009 fishing trip. (All for bringing a friend fishing aboard Searcher!) I’ll be posting the fishing reports from the field this week. So far we have a great load of bait and good travelling weather. Wish us luck, Capt Art

ONLY A WEEK AWAY!

November 24th, 2008|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hey Anglers, Good news from the banks outside of Mag Bay! There have been signs of the big yellowfin tuna for a couple of weeks and it sounds like the fish are starting to bite a little. There were fish up 300 pounds caught the past few days, so it sounds like some exciting possibilities for our Fish Down/Fly Back trip leaving in one week. There are still a couple of openings on our trip leaving December 1, so call Celia and get on this trip today. We’re looking at having some good fishing with some great passengers! Capt Art
