Searcher Sportfishing Trip #14 Report | Pelagic Predators Charter | June 23 – 26, 2026

Hello!

We returned home this morning from the Pelagic Predators Charter, Trip #14, Tuesday, June 23, 2026, to Friday, June 26, 2026. We’ve seen some large schools of bluefin the last few days. Tough to catch but we’ve had a couple shots the past couple of nights. Mixed in some variety. Thursday, we made a big move in morning and worked down towards the beach all day. Scratched in the morning and had a shooter on good grade yellows in the bottom of the ninth.

Back at it again for the weekend. Out on Trip #15, Friday, June 26, 2026, to Monday, June 29, 2026. Load of 18 and we’re ready to see what we can find.
