Trip Reports

Hello Anglers,

We drove out of Fisherman’s Landing Saturday morning on our 3-day Seeker Rods sponsored trip, July 5 – 8, 2025. Fishing has been good the past couple of days. Saturday night we had good opportunities on some bluefin tunas ranging from 60 – 150 lbs. Sunday afternoon we did some plunker style daytime fishing. After sun sets, we’re hoping for another active night.

Thank you to Seeker Rods and Sophia Huynh for supplying gear and having great giveaways!

Hello Anglers,

We’re out on our 4th of July 3-day trip #17, July 2 – 5, 2025. We’ve been seeing a lot of action with both day and night bites. Daytime fishing was dominated by sinker rigs, while a variety of smaller profile jigs have proven successful at night.

Happy 4th of July!

Hello Anglers,

Searcher returned Wednesday morning, July 2, 2025, from our 2-day Let’s Talk Hook Up Trip #16, June 30 to July 2, 2025. Monday night and Tuesday afternoon we had opportunities on tunas ranging from 20lbs. to 120lbs. When Tuesday night rolled around the action wouldn’t quit. We stopped on a school and the tuna were biting. All 20 anglers got a bite and several had a couple.

This was a great trip, with good weather and action throughout. We got to celebrate Tyler’s 16th birthday with him, anglers aboard received great giveaways from the Let’s Talk Hook Up crew and all our anglers went home with plenty of fish.

After all the anglers debarked the boat and the fish were offloaded this morning, we loaded a new of anglers and drove out on our 4th of July trip. We’ll be on the water from Wednesday, July 2 to Saturday, July 5, 2025. Stay tuned for updates.

Hello Anglers,

Monday morning we returned from trip #13, a 3-day charter with Eric Sonner. The weather was a little challenging this past weekend with the winds not in our favor. The fish didn’t want to bite, but on the second night the weather calmed and we managed to land some quality grade tunas.

Yesterday afternoon we left on trip #14, 2.5-day, June 24 – 27, 2025. We are having good weather on this trip, and we’ll see what today has in store.

Good Evening,

We left Fisherman’s Landing Tuesday afternoon on a 2.5-day trip on the James Thomas Invitational, June 17 – 20, 2025. We saw good signs of fish all day Wednesday, but very tough to get a bite during the day. Last night they were a little frisky and we had some good opportunities on 80-180lb fish. Today we spent the day rockfishing. We’ll see what tonight brings.
