Catching up with Anglers
Welcome to a new segment we are calling “Catching up with Anglers!”
We love to stay in touch with our Searcher family to share 🎣fish stories, recreate the excitement, swap tackle tips, reunite with old friends and maybe make new ones. We thought it would be fun to see how our anglers are holding up and share some of their stories. Hopefully they can give you ideas of things we can be doing with your time or help you feel better. Let’s catch up with an angler.
Today we have a special, long-time Searcher family member. Plus she is one awesome lady angler.

What’s your typical day like?: Now? Crazy. Covid!? Nothing is routine and we are seeing more tragic deaths and deathly ill people every day. I get up, drive to my office in Harbor City, answer some emails, review labs, see patients all morning. At noon I listen remotely to the day’s Covid tallies and learn the latest Covid info hot off the morning’s press releases. Afternoon is more patients, emails, calls, labs etc.
Share your best tackle tip: A sharp hook will scratch your fingernail easily. Check this with every one you tie on and after any fish that gives your hook back.
- Who or what got you into fishing? My son. Always wanted to take him deep sea fishing. It was not love at first sight for him but I was hooked after just a half day rockfish trip.
- A “must have” in your tackle box is: Owner hooks, irons and an aluminum pair of pliers. Oh! Fluorocarbon!
- Favorite fish dish? Smoked salmon. But I also am very fond of good old English fish and chips. Then there is sautéed rockfish. And Oh! Bluefin sushi of any kind. I can’t choose. I guess whatever fish is for dinner!
- What kind of fish is inside your fish taco? Mahi-mahi!
- Favorite hobby other than fishing: Building, repairing and refinishing. An old house and limited resources makes Jodie an average handyman.
- What Searcher trip are you most excited about? The 7 day with Izorline and Turners. I so want another chance for wahoo and a BIG tuna!
- Favorite fishing memory: I was just learning to cast iron. I was in the back of the boat and Captain Art’s voice over the PA said “Kelp patty. Gonna stop.” I literally ran up the side of the boat, grabbed my jig stick off the rack and saw the kelp patty getting closer over the bow rail. I casted out immediately and placed it about 2 feet from the kelp and got hit by a big yellowtail in less than a second. I was just in heaven! I couldn’t stop giggling!
- Fish you are looking forward to catching: My third wahoo!
- What motivates you? Truthfully, diversity. Humans process information to simplify and generalize – that is where prejudice comes from. The more you get to know people from different backgrounds, different cultures, with different colored skin, the better your life gets and the more you keep an open mind about new experiences and people. That is one of reasons I love Searcher. It’s the greatest group of fishermen from all over the age range, job description and background ride Searcher. Every trip I learn so much and make new friends.
- Favorite thing to do in your spare time? What spare time?
Bucketlist fish/fish you haven’t caught but want to? WHITE SEABASS!!!!
