Trip #26: Sep 27-Oct 4 (7 day) Seeker Rods
Good afternoon anglers,
We had a stop on 30-50lb bluefin when the sun came up, and it looked like we were going to really get going there and then it shut off. We managed a dozen or so, and have been seeing schools all morning and not gettting any bites or any reactions.
We’ve seen some spots of 30-70lb yellowfin as well, but they’re all acting wrong as well. We tried a giant foamer of 200lbers and got no bites this afternoon. The fish just aren’t biting today.
We’re on the hunt for some big ones as we start sliding south for the remainder of the trip.

Trip #26: Sep 27-Oct 4 (7 day) Seeker Rods
Good morning anglers,
We’ve had some action on mixed grade bluefin up to 45lbs. We had a little action in the dark on the flat falls. Most of our fish came from one stop around 10am and everyone had one on. It was petty good action! We’re still seeing it this afternoon but they aren’t biting as well. Hoping for some afternoon action.
Thanks to Seeker Rods and Fred Brandt for the sponsorship of this annual trip and all the giveaways.

Good evening anglers,
We were able to scratch on the mixed grade bluefin all day. We had good action and saw fish all day. We also had a little action on the flat falls this evening as well. For those that stuck it out late, we managed to boat a few 40-50lb bluefin. We’re hoping for some more of this grade in the morning.
