Last day of fishing for 2013

October 24th, 2013|Capt Art's Blog|

Hello anglers: We are enjoying our final day of fishing for the 2013 season and are sorry to see it end. We are having great fishing for bluefin tuna. Most of the fish are 20 pounds and the method of choice is 30 pound mono with 30 pound floro and a 2/0 hook with a live sardine. Some folks did better with 25 pound line and floro. A few fish were landed on 40 pound line. John Avita from Arizona is pictured with one of the bluefin tuna he landed today.
Thanks to everyone who fished with us this season! We appreciate your business and we look forward to seeing you in 2014. Team Searcher

Good fishing in yellowtail zone

October 22nd, 2013|Capt Art's Blog|

Hello anglers: We had some action today in the yellowtail zone. Now has all the yellowtail they need. We are headed north to try for yellowfin tuna tomorrow. Hoping for good weather to find those common dolphin and yellowfin tuna. Capt Aaron is pictured with John Nielson and a nice yellowtail. More tomorrow, Team Searcher

WAHOO!

October 21st, 2013|Capt Art's Blog|

Hello anglers: We set out today to find a kelp paddie with dorado and wahoo. We acomplished that goal by finding a kelp that had both wahoo and dorado. Everyone had a chance at landing a wahoo, and 8 out of our 14 passengers landed wahoo. John Nielsen landed three. We also had some nice size dorado with the wahoo  It was fun while it lasted. We are headed north again for more fishing time. We will be back in the yellowtail zone for a few hours in the morning and then travelling north again for the last day and hopefully some bluefin tuna. Team Searcher

Yellowtail action

October 20th, 2013|Capt Art's Blog|

Hello anglers: We are enjoying excellent yellowtail fishing this morning! Most of the fish are being landed on dropper-loops and a live sardine, with a few fish landed on yo-yo irons–Blue and white primarily. The James Gang is pictured each with a yellowtail from this morning.
Excellent weather no wind and sunny skies.
More later, Team Searcher

First day of 7-day

October 19th, 2013|Capt Art's Blog|

Hello anglers: Today we fished for yellowfin tuna this afternoon. The fish were associated with common dolphin. We managed to land 51 fish in the 12-30 pound range, with most of the fish being 15 pounds.We trolled throught the leading edge of the dolphin and hooked fish on the troll and then stopped and used live bait. Everyone had a chance and we got a chance to wet a line after a long run. Headed for the yellowtail zone and will be there at daylight tomorrow. More then, Team Searcher

Passport books and passport cards for 2014

October 18th, 2013|Capt Art's Blog|

The day has arrived for anglers who enjoy long-range fishing in Baja California waters to get a passport. If you are planning a trip that lasts longer than 3 days in 2014, it is probable a passport will be required for us to complete the necessary documents for your entry into Mexican territorial waters (within 12 miles of land). Shorter trips will be fishing offshore and outside of that range, so will not be required to carry the FMM tourism forms.
We are still asking for clarification on this requirement and perhaps other forms of ID proving citizenship will suffice, but we are encouraging you to be prepared. A passport can take some time to apply for and receive back.

If you don’t have a passport book or card, you’ll need to look into this State Department web site to apply.
http://travel.state.gov/passport/
Look along the left-hand side of the above page for the pertinent links. Consider a less expensive passport card if you don’t plan to fly internationally. It is valid for land and sea crossings only.

Yellowtail

October 16th, 2013|Capt Art's Blog|

Hello anglers: Excellent fishing today for yellowtail in the 18-25 pound class. Dropper-loops with a live sardine was the method of choice, with a few fish on surface and yo-yo irons. Capt Carl and Dorman Austin from Mira Loma are pictured with a nice size yellowtail. The weather is awesome as you can tell by the “Sun’s Out, Guns Out” attire.
Headed north,Team Searcher

Yellowfin!

October 15th, 2013|Capt Art's Blog|

Hello aanglers: We had a good afternoon toda with lots of action for yellowfin tuna in the 10-30 pound fish. Most of the fish are 12-15 pounds. All methods worked today: live bait, casting lures with a little chrome color, and the trolling plugs were the most effective. Everyone had a good time! Capt Carl is pictured with Terry Wade from San Diego with one of his tuna.
Headed south for yellowtail tomorrow,
Team Searcher
