Sep 16 (3.5 Day Trip) Private Charter with Matt Boone
Good morning anglers,
Very good opportunity last night with 120-200lb fish on the flat falls. We gave it until about 11:30 and scored some trophys. We have been plunking on this 30lb bluefin all morning and it’s been pretty fun fishing! Nice weather, long drifts, with between 2-7 going at a time. We’re getting bites on 40lb so were landing most of what we hook now. Incredible sign of this fish around and its in a biting mood at the moment so needless to say we’re enjoying it!
Captain Mike and the boys
Good evening anglers,
We’ve had a great day on this 30lb grade bluefin. We are able to drift on it most of the day with 1-8 going most of the time. They are biting the fly lined 40lb. We had three stops that made up our day. We did catch a few of those 60-70lbers like the previous days, just not as many but we are happy with this beautiful grade of fish.

Sep 15 (3.5 Day Trip) Private Charter with Matt Boone
Good morning anglers,
We started this morning scratching on 20-30lb yellowtail. We’re hoping we could also catch some bluefin on the anchor as well. Around 9am it didn’t seem like we would, so we moved and stopped on a large flat spot (click to find out what a “flat spot” is!) of mixed grade bluefin 30-100+lbs and we have been plunking ever since.

One of our CalFire heroes taking a break from wildfires to catch a few bluefin!
Good evening anglers,
We were able to sit and drift on that same fish until about 3pm. We made a little move to try catch some big ones this afternoon and tonight we’ve got one on the boat. Good fish around the boat right now. We are hoping for a few more before we put the anchor down for the night.

SECOND Lady Angler Trip in 2022!
Here’s another opportunity for Lady Anglers to fish! Lady Angler Searcher Special #2
The response was overwhelming! Ladies want to fish with other supportive and fun-loving lady anglers in the company of terrific sponsors (Izorline, Seeker Rods and Turner’s Outdoorsman) and our fabulous crew in search of tuna, yellowtail and more!
The existing 2022 trip (Trip #22 Aug19-22) was sold out the minute the boat returned to the dock from the 2021 trip. Our wait list was so long that we are opening up a SECOND 3-day tuna trip right after that one. It will be Trip #23, Aug 22-25 (Mon-Thur) 2022 for $1295.

Sep 14 (3.5 Day Trip) Private Charter with Matt Boone
Good morning anglers,
We had a decent opportunity on the flat falls when we got on scene here last night and managed to boat a couple of fish at 5am. One was a 75# and another was 120#. Since then we’ve gotten on the bank and had a good opportunity on the same grade of fish. They are biting the fly lined 40# sardine. We managed a handful of 70-80# fish and lost a few bigger ones.
We’re still seeing them, just seems like a lunch time lull.
Captain Mike and the boys
Good evening anglers,
We had some opportunity on these big fish this afternoon. We got a little shot right before the sun went down. We have been hooking some on the fly lined sardine as well as the kite. And when the sun went down we had pretty good opportunity on the flat falls.

Sep 5 (3 Day Trip) Labor Day Special
Good morning anglers,
We made a move last night in hopes of better weather and better fishing. We’ve started scratching on a beautiful grade of yellowtail here this morning– 20-30lbs. Pretty good sign here and they’re boiling all around the boat. The current’s starting to swing around and it’s starting to look like we’re going to have a good day here.
Captain Mike and the boys
Good evening anglers,
We were able to keep picking at these quality grade yellowtail most of the afternoon. Much better weather than yesterday. The best method was fly lined baits on 40lb. Anything lighter and they would get you in the rocks or the kelp. Nice day of fishing here today.
