Oct 5 (Sep 30-Oct 7) 7 day Seeker

Good afternoon,
We had a nice finisher today. We fished up the beach this morning and early afternoon. There is still a good showing of this yellowtail and they’re still biting, as well as some ncie dorado mixed in. We called it a trip with a couple wells of nice fish.
It will be a travel day tomorrow. Special thanks to Seeker Rods and Seeker rep Kevin for the great giveaways.

Oct 4 (Sep 30-Oct 7) 7 day Seeker

Good morning,
 
The good times continue down here this morning with full-speed yellowfin tuna and dorado fishing on the anchor until we had enough. We stopped for some more pargo before taking off from the 13.
 
We’re headed offshore hoping to find a wahoo kelp.

Oct 2 (Sep 30-Oct 7) 7 day Seeker

Good evening,
Good biting yellowtail until about 2pm today on beautiful grade of 18-30#. It was very fun fishing and everyone got some today. We left around 3pm for The Ridge, and are hoping for some action on the yellowfin tomorrow morning.

Oct 2 (Sep 30-Oct 7) 7 day Seeker

Good morning,
We departed Saturday on our annual Seeker-sponsored 7 day trip.  We had nice weather rolling down the past couple days.  Seeker pro-staffer, Kevin Boyle, raffled off a few of Seeker’s finest.
Last night we decided to put the brakes on after listening to the reports of yellowtail fishing down the beach. We stopped at the Natividad area this morning and it’s paying off. There’s a very good sign here this morning of 18-25# yellowtail. It’s been fun fishing here so far. We’re picking away on the yoyos and fly lined sardines.  Pretty good opportunity on the surface iron at times as well.

Sep 29 (Sep 28-30) 2 day

Good morning, 

We were late to the party yesterday as the fish seemed to be sliding to the west. However we did get a little sample of yellowfin and bluefin. The fish are 25-35#. There was some very good fishing throughout the day yesterday.

We stopped on a kelp first thing this morning and had some good action on dorado. As we’ve drifted off of it, we’re starting to plunk on these tuna. It’s a good sign around the boat, but not really biting yet.

Sep 22 (Sep 21-24) Biter’s Private Charter 3 day

Good morning, 

 It took awhile last night but we got  on a school of 60-200# bluefin around 11pm and it stuck to the boat. We had a very good opportunity with lots of bites, lots of losses, but we still managed to boat enough for everyone, including this 230# fish.

We rolled into the east this morning and stopped on a small school. We have been picking away on 30-60# fish all morning now. It’s slow going with one or two at a time but they are nice fish and the weather is beautiful

This is flyline, 30lb fitness fishing.

Congrats to Jeanine, catching a jumbo again this year!
