Trip 18 (1.5 day) Kim Burkhart and Friends Open

August 26th, 2016|Trip Reports|

Hello anglers: We had a tough fishing day today. We saw plenty of fish, but we couldn’t find a school that wanted to bite. We didn’t land a fish until the afternoon and only landed a few late in the day. The highlight of the day was when Alex Dill, a first timer, landed her first yellowfin tuna. It is always great to see the reaction of someone’s first fish!

Her first yellowfin tuna!

The other highlight was the group, nine years with Kim Burkhart and the gang and it is always a pleasure to have them aboard! They all understand we work hard to find fish, but we can’t make them bite.

Trip 19 (3 day) Aug 26-29 Lady Angler Trip Underway!

August 26th, 2016|Capt Art's Blog|

Our 23 lady anglers left this morning on a 3-day offshore fishing adventure. Some anglers are novices, some are experienced, but they EACH have a brand-new pair of Xtratuf boots, especially made for women! Thank you, Xtratuf!

We’re pretty sure Bootz has met his match with the ladies’ Xtratuf legacy models in blue (on left) and cooper (on right)…sized just for women!

In addition to Team Searcher crew, the ladies have two expert pro-staffers on board, Wendy Tochihara of Izorline and Lori Sachau of Turner’s Outdoorsman in San Marcos, CA. Wendy and Lori have attracted the attention of so many tackle manufacturers who want to put their saltwater gear into the hands of lady anglers. Thank you to Okuma, Accurate, Seeker Rods, Pelagic Gear, Costa sunglasses, Phenix Rods, Tady lures, and so many more that we’ll highlight during the trip. Stand by for more photos of the ladies using their terrific saltwater gear!
