Hello anglers,

We are having a decent morning with some action on yellowtail, dorado and yellowfin tuna. They are coming in as mixed sizes from small (released) to 30 pound tuna. Everyone is having a great time with great weather, lots of giveaways and raffle prizes donated by generous sponsors in honor of Dick Uranga.

Thank you to Melton International Tackle and Robert Aguirre for donations!

More later,

Captain Art and Team Searcher

Hello anglers,

We had a great day of fishing with action throughout the day. Yellowtail and dorado in the morning, and yellowfin tuna in the afternoon. Plenty of opportunities to catch a fish and have some fun.
The annual grand prize for our Captain Potatohead raffle is is a rod and reel combo donated by Seeker Rods and Searcher. It comes complete with line on it so whoever wins it can use during the trip. Our good friend Terry Onishi custom wraps the rod in the same colors as our friend Dick Uranga’s rods were wrapped! This year, the winner is longtime Potatohead angler, Matt Aguirre, and then he proceeded to land a yellowtail with that rod and reel combo.

Raffle proceeds will be added to other money donated to Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, Dickie’s preferred charity. We are hoping for a record donation for 2020, and we’ll announce the Sportsperson of the trip who will receive $1000 credit on the trip next year. (This money was raised by a second jackpot and will be matched by us and added to the donation.)

And secret photos will prove that the schenanigans started by Dickie are underway on the trip too!
