Trip 4 (3-day) Jul 6-9 Evening Report- July 7
July 7, 2017
Hello all,
We worked our tails off today with plenty of kelp paddies to stop and try for yellowtail. Plenty of yellowtail was seen but not a lot caught. We did land our first dorado of the season! The water is warm in the area we fished today. 69 degrees in spots. Hoping for better results tomorrow, we will let you know how it goes.
Good Night,
Team Searcher
Trip 4 (3-day) Jul 6-9 Seeker Open – Day 2 mid-day Report
Hello anglers,
We came south last night about 50 miles. Currently we are trying to catch yellowtail on kelp paddies. We have seen several kelps this morning, some have fish on them and some don’t. Unfortunately,the kelps that have fish on them are not biting. Other boats in the area have had some action, so we are hopeful for the rest of the day.
The weather is awesome with light winds and just a little sea condition. The sun is out now so it has turned into a beautiful day. Jimmy Bon from Green Valley landed this good size yellowtail (on a live sardine and 30 pound line) during one of our stops today.
More later,
Team Searcher
Trip 4 (3-day) Jul 6-9 Day 1 Trip Report
Hello anglers,
We left today on a 3 day trip sponsored by Seeker Rods! Pro staffers Sophie Huynh and Kevin Boyle are aboard with loads of Seeker swag and knowledge to share with all of our valued clients. We are really grateful for our partnership with Seeker Rods!
We have a great load of sardines and we are hopeful to put them to use.
We started in the tuna area 25 miles southwest of San Diego. Unfortunately, the fish we saw did not bite for us. The highlight of the day was the Seeker swag and the weather. It was a great day on the ocean.
Hoping to get busy tomorrow.

July 3 (Mid-day)
Howdy anglers,
Another beautiful day here on the ocean. Once again we tried for some more yellowtail but we were lacking current, so fishing was slow.
Here is a photo of Gerry H with his yellowtail.
We are all hoping for an action-packed afternoon.

July 2 Evening Report
Howdy anglers,
Unfortunately we never got current yesterday and although we managed to hook a few yellows – the wildlife took them away. Here is a sample of the nice grade yellow that we saw: here’s a photo of Sarkis K with his catch.
The weather is fantastic, and we’ve got another day to try.
Trip 2 – (Jun 30-Jul 4) midday update Jul 2
Howdy anglers,
We had a fun morning here fishing.
The current wasn’t really moving, so we had fun fishing for rockfish.
This afternoon the current seems to be moving so we’re hoping for some action on some yellowtail.
The weather is great, and we’re happy about that.

Trip 2 – (Jun 30-Jul 4) midday update Jul 1
Howdy anglers,
It was a slow morning for us today, but we did manage to capture one blue fin tuna this morning, and that’s a start!
The weather is calm and we’re very happy about that.
Last night we celebrated the birthday of our galley assistant, Dan. It was a fun night.
Keeping our hopes high for good afternoon fishing.
More later,
