May 14 (2.5 day) Offshore fishing

May 14th, 2022|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Hello anglers:

We saw scattered sign of bluefin tuna last night and throughout the morning. We’re starting to see much more volume now at lunchtime.

Opportunities to get a fish to bite are not easy to come by, but Jason managed to get a nice one on the sinker rig.

We’re currently pulling on a heavier model. We’ll check back later.

Jason boated our first fish of 2022!

Good evening anglers,

Good bluefin tuna watching with a very good sign of 80-150lb fish throughout the afternoon. They just were not in the biting mode though.  We did manage a few trophies however, and also had some heartbreaks.

Everything we’ve caught today has been on the sinker rig.

Just a few fish caught today, but they are trophies

Tackle Tip Thursday Vol. 179 (Dock 2 Door)

April 28th, 2022|Captain Mike's Blog, Tackle Tip Thursday|

Happy Tackle Tip Thursday!

After you’ve made all the right tackle choices and battled that fish successfully, the work doesn’t end there! You’ll want to preserve that catch to get it into your home freezer and into the hands of friends and family. We think the best idea is to plan ahead for processing (filleting and vacuum sealing) and transporting that valuable catch. Research processors and transportation options, then make a reservation BEFORE your trip! Thank you to Kelly G for his service and support of Searcher Sportfishing! Check out Dock 2 Door if you have transportati0n needs.
