Jun 30-1.5 day trip report
Hello anglers,
We had a great day today with plenty of action–yellowtail on kelp paddies and sonar schools that didn’t bite but gave us hope. To finish the day, we had good fishing for yellowfin tuna associated with common dolphin. Most of the fish are 15-20 pounds with a few smaller and a few bigger. We had plenty of troll fish and cedar plug was the hot lure. A few fish were caught on anchovies and some fish on artificial lures.
If you are coming out in the near future make sure you have lures that are chrome and heavy. Megabait is the hot lure. Also a few fish were caught on plastics, so you might bring some. Don’t forget hooks and small sinkers for anchovies. The weather was great and the fishing is great as well!.

June 21 (2.5 day trip) fishing report
Hello all, Unfortunately we are taking another “E” for effort today. We had a great game plan by starting a little further south where there was a good sign of bluefin tuna in the 25-40 pound class. That fish did not show this morning. We travelled back up to where yesterday’s action was and the wasn’t any sign of the better-size bluefin, but we did manage to catch 5 yellowfin tuna in that zone . They were 15-20 pound fish. Our two young men both caught their first yellowfin tuna today so that was awesome.
We stopped on lots of kelp paddies both days with very little caught. The encouraging thing today was there were yeloowfin tuna caught in several different zones. That could be good news for a little later in the season. I wish we could make the fish bite. Maybe next trip.

Mid-day report June 20
Hello anglers, We have seen quite a bit of bluefin tuna today! We can’t get them interested in what we have to offer and that seems to be a fleet-wide problem today. We are about 100 miles south of San Diego in great weather, with 67-degree blue water. We have one bluefin about 60 pounds caught by the Ware family from Mentone, CA. We have 6 yellowtail from a kelp paddie and that is it so far. We have high hopes for the rest of today and tomorrow. Team Searcher
Office staff has no voice!
Anglers: I have no voice today due to a cold. I am so sorry, but if you can email any questions, concerns, information today, I would appreciate it. I will work on getting someone with a voice to return any outstanding calls (from Thursday). Thanks! celia
And I’ll be posting anything I hear from the boat. Capt Art called to say the weather and the bait (and the new refrigeration) are terrific, so they’re on the hunt!
