Trip #6 (July 21- 27) Turners Outdoorsman and Izorline Day 5
Hello anglers,
We had good fishing today for yellowfin tuna in the 25-85# range. There were lots of bites on the kite baits, and plenty of bites on 50 pound line and fluorocarbon with a 2/0 hook. Here is Jake Brookman with Capt Art and a nice size tuna. Jake and his grandfather Roger had a nice day today. They’ve been fishing for years together aboard Searcher.

Trip #6 (July 21- 27) Turners Outdoorsman and Izorline Day 4 (Pt 2)
Hello anglers!
We had great action this afternoon. Everyone landed a fish today and everyone had opportunities to land a yellowfin tuna. Most of the fish are in the 30-50 pound class with a few bigger fish mixed in. Here is a photo of Capt Art and Michelle M. with her 50 pound yellowfin.

Trip #6 (July 21- 27) Turners Outdoorsman and Izorline Day 4
Hello anglers!
We had some action this morning for catching yellowfin tuna and are getting chances to land a quality fish. The the same methods have proven effective: a 50-pound line set-up and a 2/0 circle hook gets a bite with a live sardine.
Manny Lemos had some help from Capt Art and got lucky enough to boat a fish that was tail-wrapped. It came in backwards and hs fish weighed in at 166 pounds. Manny is posing with this fish of a life time.

Trip #6 (July 21st- 27th) Turners Outdoorsman and Izorline Day 1-3
Hello all,
We started our trip today (6day) and caught a few yellowfin tuna and yellowtail. The fish were caught on live sardines with 50 pound line and fluorocarbon donated by Izorline! We saw plenty of fish in different areas but it wouldn’t bite. Now we just need the hungry fish. Here is Lori Sachau from Turner’s ourdoorsman in San Marcos with a nice yellowtail!
Thanks to Turner’s Outdoorsman for all the support and the tackle bags for everyone on board. There will be raffles for everyone. Winners will receive rods and reels and lots of other good tackle to use on this trip. Thanks again Turner’s outdoorsman.

Morning report
Hello angler,
This is our 6 day trip sponsored by Turner’s Outdoorsman and Izorline. Low action morning of fishing. There has been a change in weather conditions here and so we haven’t figured out exactly where to be. Yesterdays hot spot is no longer hot. We will continue to work hard and hopefully this afternoon will be more productive. Wish us luck.
Here’s Mike G. a first timer and his first tuna landed on one of our rental outfits. With 50 pound line and fluorocarbon with a 2/0 Owner circle hook. The fish weighed 82 pounds. More to come,

Trip #6 sponsored by Turners Outdoorsman and Izorline is off and running!
We caught up with Lori Sachau, saltwater tackle manager at Turners Outdoorsman in San Marcos for a few tackle tips for her upcoming 6-day trip aboard Searcher:
“Must haves for upcoming trips: glow flat falls for early morning jigging–the tuna are big and so are the yellowtail. Make sure you have an 80 lb dropper loop set-up. You will need 50 and 60 lb fluorocarbon for live bait on the bigger tuna. Your 30-40 lb setups will work for for the rest.
See you on the water!”
Thank you, Lori and have fun out there!
p.s. Mark your calendars for Captain Art’s next seminar at Turners in Kearny Mesa (San Diego) on August 14 at 5:30 p.m.
