Searcher Sportfishing Trip #34 Report | Eric Sonner Charter | Aug 28 – 31, 2026

We returned home Monday morning from trip #34, Eric Sonner Charter, Friday August 23, 2026, to Monday, August 31, 2026. Saturday, we had a nice day of bluefin fishing on the anchor before the weather came up. Caught fish up to 40 lbs. We had a few the night before as well. Sunday, we drove to the east to look for some exotics.

Currently, we’re out on trip #35, Knee Deep Brewing Co. Sponsored 2-Day, Monday, August 31, 2026, to Wednesday, September 2, 2026. Last night, the night bite was on! We were busy catching bluefin throughout the night.
