Trip #8 (6-day trip) Jul 30-Aug 5, day 5
Good evening anglers:
We’ve had an absolutely beautiful day–both weather and fishing! We had a good bite on 30 to 50lb yellowfin tuna and one stand-out yellowtail. Here’s Captain Aaron and Frederick Handley with a 48lb yellowtail. Congrats!
Tackle tip: Use 40 or 50lb Izorline test with a 1/0 or 2/0 Owner hook. Fluorocarbon is a must!

Hello anglers (email issue now resolved!):
Today we had good “scratch” fishing on quality yellowfin tuna. Our tip of the day: Use 50lb Izorline test and a 3/0 Owner hook with a good lively bait for your best chances at these fish.
Mike Kellems did a nice job with this 75 lb yellowfin tuna. We will be fishing the same area some more today.
Wish us good luck,
Captain Shawn and Team Searcher
