Trip #6 sponsored by Turners Outdoorsman and Izorline is off and running!

21 Jul 2018

We caught up with Lori Sachau, saltwater tackle manager at Turners Outdoorsman in San Marcos for a few tackle tips for her upcoming 6-day trip aboard Searcher:

“Must haves for upcoming trips: glow flat falls for early morning jigging–the tuna are big and so are the yellowtail. Make sure you have an 80 lb dropper loop set-up. You will need 50 and 60 lb fluorocarbon for live bait on the bigger tuna. Your 30-40 lb setups will work for for the rest.
See you on the water!”

Thank you, Lori and have fun out there!

p.s. Mark your calendars for Captain Art’s next seminar at Turners in Kearny Mesa (San Diego) on August 14 at 5:30 p.m.
