Howdy anglers, Well today we fished at San Martin and the local high spots around it. The conditions were great but the current was just ripping at about 3 mph. It was very hard to keep a 16 ounce sinker on the bottom. But we were able to catch a few yellows along with some bottom grabbers. We made a couple of drifts in the lee of the island and captured a nice halibut and managed to get a couple of yellows along the way. So we are on our way home and will be leaving tomorrow on a 1-1/2 trip. Good angling and hope to see ya on the water soon. Capt. Aaron

Howdy anglers, Well we didn’t exactly get our revenge we were hoping for today and the other boats around us didn’t either. The fishing was slow and the weather has freshend up a bit. We are heading towards San Martin island tonight to try for some yellowtails and some other types of bottom grabbers. The little bit of pattern that I have noticed while fishing for these finicky longfins are a good bait with a little smaller hook and trolling the ol’ cedar plug was effective. Also a bright-pattern tuna clone helps keep the feather in the water a bit better. Good angling and hope to see ya on the water soon, Capt. Aaron

Howdy anglers, Today was a little slow for us today because we missed the morinig bite by over shooting the area. Our intentions were to get to Cedros to fish yellowtail, but the albacore were biting for several boats today so we had to try for tuna! We saw good sign all day yet we only boated a few. We are in position for the morning bite and we’re ready to seek revenge. We have a good load of bait and the weather is nice. Good angling and good luck to us all, Capt. Aaron

Hey anglers, Excellent yellowtail fishing again today. We had good action this afternoon. Most of the fish were caught on flyline sardine, with some fish caught on surface iron. The fish were in the 16 to 25 pound range with more big ones than little ones. We really had a good time on deck today. It is great to be able to sit in one spot for most of the day and give everyone an opportunity to catch a nice yellowtail. The experienced angler had the same chance as the beginner. Long time Searcher passenger, Tom Byer from Huntington Beach, CA, had a great afternoon and caught his limit of yellowtail. The weather was great and the seas were calm. We are heading north to look for tuna tomorrow. Capt Art
