Good evening anglers,
This afternoon we were able to scratch up some more beautiful wahoo on the troll they seemed to be biting the nomad lures best. Our evening bite on yellowfin tuna was nothing short of spectacular! It was a great way to end the day.
Captain Mike and Dylan B show off one of those quality yellowfin tuna that came aboard today.
We will be leaving tonight and heading to our next destination.
Wish us luck,
Captain Shawn and Team Searcher
Looks like our anglers will be bringing home loads of delicious wahoo! Here’s a recipe from Chef Geri Sue: Coconut-crusted Wahoo

Good afternoon anglers, This morning we awoke to very pleasant seas and calm winds which was delightful for all who were on board. We had a exceptional bite on premium yellowfin tuna ranging from 25 to 45 lbs. We are going to have a quick bite for lunch and start looking for wahoo. Wish us luck, here is Rod C. and Crewman Hector with a nice yellowfin tuna.

Good afternoon anglers:
today has been with 40 lb mono and fluorocarbon and a 3/0 Owner hook. We have also been getting fish with skip lures, poppers, and wahoo bombs.
We haven’t been able to do much trolling for wahoo since the wind is up, but we’re looking forward to it tomorrow as the wind is supposed to die down. Wish us luck!

Hello anglers,
We started our fishing day on the coast for yellowtail without much success. So we travelled offshore to look for kelp patties and dorado. We found warm blue water and plenty of large kelp paddies. Not many had fish associated with them. But we managed to find a few that had a few good-size dorado on them. I think everyone got to keep a nice-size dorado today, including Anne L. 
Check out the recommended surface irons here!
We are headed home tonight and arriving back to the dock on Saturday morning. Here is Anne Lahue and crewman Ryan with a beautiful dorado from one of the kelp patties this afternoon.
Chef Dan shared his Sesame Chili Marinade recipe for fresh Searcher-caught fish. Angler tried and tested!

Hello anglers,
Yesterday we accomplished our goal of getting everyone a wahoo. Today we are trying to get everyone a second wahoo! We’re also enjoying great tuna fishing again this morning. Everyone has enough yellowfin tuna!
We are now concentrating on yellowtail in between trolling sessions for wahoo. Here is Dennis from Texas with a nice wahoo. Need a recipe for your wahoo? Here’s one from Searcher Chef Geri Sue.

Afternoon update:
We had some action on yellowtail, yellowfin tuna, wahoo and a rare white sea bass this afternoon. We had variety this trip for sure! Everyone had multiple chances at wahoo today with trolling, live bait and artificial lures all working well. (Check out recommended surface lures here!)
Mike E landed the white sea bass and he took a minute to pose with Capt Shawn for a photo. We are headed up to the coast to try for more yellowtail tomorrow morning, and then maybe offshore to look for dorado.
The weather has been great during the day and breezy at night. The forecast looks good for travelling tonight.

Hello all,
We focused our fishing efforts on wahoo this morning with success. Almost everyone has landed a wahoo. Trolling with live sardines have been the best method for wahoo to today. We also have had some very hungry yellowfin tuna that are biting the big Marauder lures as well. We hope to reach our goal of getting everyone a wahoo today and so far it is looking like we might exceed that goal. Here is a group shot from one of some of the action from this morning. Stay hooked more to come.
