Trip Reports

Hello Anglers,

Monday morning we returned to Fisherman’s Landing from our 16th annual Captain Potatohead Memorial Fun-Raiser trip in honor of Dick Uranga.

Our 3-day trip ran from August 8 – 11, 2025. The fishing was tough, but we had a few different opportunities on school grade fish. The guys had a great time, and we raised almost $6K for pancreatic cancer research.

Thank you for all amazing donations we received from Let’s Talk Hook Up, Fisherman’s Landing, Fisherman’s Landing Tackle Shop, Five Star Fish Processing, Fisherman’s Processing, and Lori Sachau! Your generosity is greatly appreciated and makes a real difference.

Hello Anglers,

This Wednesday morning, we returned to Fisherman’s Landing from trip #25, 3-day limited load that ran from Sunday, August 3rd to Wednesday, August 6th. We managed to pick at tuna of all sizes, but they didn’t seem to bite to well. Had some decent opportunities at night and during the day with no shortage of fish around, they just weren’t too eager to bite.

We left this morning on trip #26, ‘Holy Cow’ Sachau Invitational, 2-day, running from Wednesday, August 6th to Friday, August 8th.

Hello Anglers,

Out on day 7 of our 8-day Turner’s and Izorline sponsored trip. For the past few days, we’ve had tough fishing at the rocks but managed to catch a few wahoos. Beautiful water and good conditions just not many fish around at the moment.  All day yesterday, we worked up with very little signs.

This morning, we had good yellowtail fishing on the beach. Beautiful grade and all big ones picking on the fly line sardines, mackerels and a few on the yo-yos and surface irons.
