Trip 29 Oct 7-14 (7-day) Oct 13 Midday Report
Howdy anglers, we got lucky and found a kelp today that had some dorado on it! We also saw lots of kelps with no fish on them as well – anyways, we’re calling it a trip and we’re headed into Ensenada tonight to be back at our dock tomorrow(Saturday). Here is Ken Hoffman with one of the dorados from today.

Howdy anglers,
The tuna were around and we had our chances with them – it was still tough with the sharks and also due to tackle failures, but we had fun! Here is Chester Mordasini with his tuna from this afternoon. We’re leaving tonight to look for some kelps for a couple of hours before we head into Ensenada to clear.
See you all on Saturday morning,
Capt Aaron and the Searcher crew

Howdy anglers,
The yellowtail we caught are nice-sized fish this morning. We’re getting ready to switch over to tuna mode for the afternoon! Here’s another nice yellow caught by Thom Carney.
More later,

Howdy anglers,
The tuna were there and they put on a show for us this afternoon. We started out not so well by losing some due to sharks and tackle failures. We did manage to get some tuna aboard: here is Mike Einstoss with his nice tuna from this afternoon. We’re gonna spend our last day here looking for more yellowtail and then finish off with some tuna before we head across back to the coast.

Howdy anglers,
A little action for us on the yellowtail today: we had current and the fish were showing themselves but they didn’t want to bite all that well. Here is Paul Schulz with a nice yellowtail caught on a dropperloop on 80lb test. We’re on the lookout for tuna this afternoon, wish us luck!

Howdy anglers,
There was a sign of tuna this afternoon and once again, the sharks had their fill and others were lost due to pulled hooks, line breaks, etc. Anyways, we landed a couple of the tuna this afternoon, and here is a big one caught by Ken Yoshida. The scale said 205 lbs: nice fish! We’re gonna try for some yellowtail tomorrow morning and again for some tuna in the afternoon.
