Trip 5 – 3-day (July 11-14) Seeker Rods Open

July 12th, 2019|Trip Reports|

Good Afternoon anglers,
 
We started off our morning fishing for yellowtail and had very good results. Fish were biting the yoyo jigs 6x and 6x Juniors. The best colors have been blue and white and dolphin pattern.
Flylined bait was also working well with 30lb test fluorocarbon and 2/0 hooks.

Good evening anglers,

We left the dock this morning and started fishing for yellowtail this afternoon. We had very good results with using 30lb test with flourocarbon and a 2/0 hook. We also had good results with yoyo jigs. Here is Lisa F. with one of her nice yellowtails. Lisa is on this trip with her brother and father, a long-time Searcher customer who won his trip in our SONAR promotion. Check it out here: SONAR.

We are going to stay put and try for some more yellowtail tomorrow. Wish us luck!

Day 2

Good evening anglers:

Today we spent most of our day looking at big schools of breaking bluefin and yellowfin for not many bites. We were able to scratch up a few of each species, and a few yellowtail off kelp patties. They were mostly caught on fly-lined sardines on 30 pound test and 2/0 hooks.

Here is a shot of Tihyam K and Justin with a nice yellowfin tuna.

Trip 2 – 1.5-day Trip (Jun 28-30)

June 29th, 2019|Trip Reports|

Hello anglers:

We have been working hard to get a bluefin tuna school to bite all day today and we haven’t had much success. We see a lot of tuna around us, and even have tuna boiling on our chum, but not biting the baits on our hooks. We have a sample aboard and catching those is a lot of fun, but we wish every single angler had a tuna.

Here is crewman Justin and Steve E. with a nice bluefin tuna from one of our many stops.
